In addition to its great camera, the USB-type C port of the OnePlus Two is one of the smartphone’s great features but it requires bringing along the cord that comes with it, because otherwise the interface is useless without the cord.
The smartphone has a few nice design touches including the physical mute button that lets users quickly shut down the phone when the user is in a meeting or when he is about to go to bed and sleep. The black textured back, that is swappable, also feels good for gripping.
The OnePlus Two is a wonderfully exciting reminder of the possibility of building a fast, sturdy, and functional smartphone that would not take so many tolls on one’s pocket. But there is very little that is special or memorable about the phone. From its software to its camera and to the device itself, it does not befit the moniker of being a flagship killer.
But again, much of it actually comes with the fact that this year’s flagship smartphone are really way off the charts like the Samsung Galaxy S6 and the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge, or the HTC One M9, so the OnePlus Two was up against something that the OnePlus One never had last year.
