One plus phones are termed as the "flagship killer" by the company One plus has introduced a new phone in the series, the One plus two.

Lets go ahead and review this device.

One plus two comes with a 5.5 inch 1080P display with thin bezels and has a metal band around the phone which makes it look more expensive. It is not super thin but looks elegant.

The back comes with a default sandstone finish cover which is removable and and it shows the dual Sim card slot. One plus offers different variants in back covers like the bamboo cover which can replace the default sandstone back cover. The back also has the 3300 mAH battery. Average 4 hours screen on time. One day battery life for average user.

The power and the volume buttons are on the right side of the phone and the left side of the phone rocks a unique switch which can be used in three modes.
  1. Down - All notifications mode.
  2. Middle - priority notifications only.
  3. Up - Do not disturb mode.
The screen can be double tapped to wake up from sleep and then double tap on the notifications to turn off the display.

The phone comes with built in audio profiles and the speakers are not that great.

The phone also introduces the USB type-C port for charging and data which is a new standard in the USB technology and is future driven. Since the technology is new there are pros and cons.

Pros:
Reversible and standard of the future.
Cons:
Need new chargers and fast charging.

The phone also comes with a biometric fingerprint sensor and it is not like tactile but a trackpad.
It can store up to 5 fingers and double tap can be configured to perfom a specific function from a range of functions.The phone can use on screen or off screen buttons.
The hardware buttons can be configured to perform a specific function from a range of functions.

The camera is 13 mega pixels with laser auto focus and the camera software might get updates over a period of time.

The phone comes with Oxygen OS custom made by one plus and has a near stock android experience.

The only cons I can see for this phone is a weak speaker, no wireless charging and non NFC. Apart from these it is an excellent phone.

It is available in Amazon on invite basis
