    Nice one! What carrier are you with? Whats the 4G like? Anything else that would make you notice it wasn't the European version?

    Can I have an invite pretty please, I really like the possibility of having a dual sim in a decent phone, get rid of the need to carry 2 phones (work and personal)

    Im on meteor.... there is never 4g where I am so can't talk to it yet.

    Only signs its not european so far is the box and manuals which were all in chinese.

    I am going to see if I can get a sim on another network later and test if dual sim does in fact work or not.

    So Microreview so far:

    Look and Feel: Similar to the One the biggest difference is the weight, the two is considerably heavier but at the same time solid feeling... this is due to the metal frame which really gives the phone a premium feel.

    Software: OxygenOS is grand... its as good as Cyanogen imo, in the latest version there is a drawer when you swipe left on the screen with recent app's and widgets etc...

    The capacitive buttons were for some unknown reason swopped around from the one... fortunatly you can swop them back in the phone... no idea why they decided it would be a good idea to switch them around.

    Benchmarks: Currently performing UNDER the One... by a bit... this is a bit disappointing and I have no idea why... software wise or something? Doesnt matter if you bench in 64bit mode of 32bit mode.

    Battery: As good as the One gets through the day no problem.

    Type C: Nice touch... bit of an adoption issue when it comes to having spare leads around, I bought 3 spare leads for myself to have in work / car / downstairs...

    Overall: Versus the One this is very incremental... certainly nothing earth shattering to see here.

    Nope clean OxygenOS... google apps, audio tuner and their own camera app... nothing bloaty at all.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 756 ✭✭✭themacdaddy


    The more I read about the Oneplus Two the less excited I am about it. Maybe its because we are blessed with so many good devices these days. I feel bad saying that. I am half tempted to just buy a Galaxy S6 on adverts for slightly more. This is just my personal opinion.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,217 ✭✭✭maximoose


    Nexus 6 is €393 in Argos, seriously tempted.

    I'm the same...but the website doesn't show where you can get it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 115 ✭✭FlushPoker.ie


    Take me off the list thanks I bought the S6 Edge and couldn't be happier tbh. Absolute belter of a device.

    I've seen them for just 20 to 40 more on Ebay from the UK.
    The CPU is a little long in the tooth now but still for that price it's a bargin!
    I know what I would pick if I had a choice between that and another OPO!



    I almost bit the bullet on a new LG G4 last night! Nice phone that dropping in price. I really want to see the Moto X Style, If that camera is even halfway good I'm going be over 50% temped. OPT is taking tooooo long!

    Moto is out on the 2nd September isn't it.

    I came so close yesterday to buying the Zuk Z1 then it's out of stock anyway, can't buy the Moto X Play in the design I want, can't buy the OP2..................:eek:

    Let's see If I can buy the OP2 next weekend so as I have a buyer for my iPhone.

    Worse, the iPhone is being announced on the 6th September along with others apple products.

    They have their work cut out.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 203 ✭✭paulharte


    Hey guys,

    Can I get added to the list? Am aware it is very long, but I'll take anything I can get! Am being driven crackers by the invite system, but have my heart set on the OPT. Surely oneplus could have seen this level of demand coming??

    In the meantime, this is my phone, since my Galaxy broke... not even joking

    .




    Tell you this,

    I'm overly tempted to just say screw it and buy the LG G4! When you look at it, the LG has all the same hardware the new Moto x style has but the camera is as good as the GS6 with that f1.8 lens.

    Amazon have the SIM free G4 (UK/Europe variant) for 450 euro, that's about what the Moto x style will come in at including delivery.

    soo... unless I missed something....
