AnonD-352484, 28 Jul 2015But what makes it worse than a galaxy s6?
-Camera? we have... more- Camera will beat. We'll wait for results, but I'm rather astonished by the fact you even question that.
- Performance is better. No more explanations needed. If we always come back to "daily use" etc, then let's get back to "i need phone for calls why need camera, videos, internet etc?". -Nokia 100 has good performance for daily use. Sorry, this argument is poor. It's not a "2016 flagship killer" if it avoids some of the most obvious battles.
- Heat problems during the performance load. S6 does heat up when it charges, because it freaking charges in 1 hour! You can put it on a different charger and it will lay cool. But make both phones record 4K video and you'll understand what heat problems are.
- Referring back to the "daily use" argument. If you avoid all the battles - how come can you win one? Oh, I forgot the only battle OP2 can fight is the price.
- " i get barely one day of usage" - very subjective argument. I can easily make a day with my S6 edge and have 40% left in the evening. Look for the batterly life tests with objective numbers. At this point - I would give S6 the edge in battery life due to the efficiency of 14nm processor and how far they've advanced with AMOLED. Meanwhile, heat problems of SD810 will accelerate battery drain.
And I'm telling you what OP2 can't offer. It can't offer the design and quality of materials. OP fails to any battle, if put side-to-side to S6, save for price war. And if you choose the OP2, you'll end up always being limited by these minor factors, that all in all, play a huge role. Because at $300 price point, you simply can't offer as much detail.
I owned Nexus 4 - OnePlus of 2012. It offered flagship performance. Its battery capacity was in line with what other offered. It's megapixel count was the same. But it all faded, when you realize that the photos you make were no match for iPhone. Despite large battery size, the phone indeed barely lasted a day (see GSMarena's battery test). It got very hot even when browsing websites, and thus accelerated battery drain. But it did cost half the iPhone's price.

samtherat6, 29 Jul 201513 micropixels? Damn, that camera must suck.No that's not a 13 Micro Pixel camera, the sensor is 13 Mega Pixels and and it's size is bigger than the usual smartphone cameras (which is a good thing), and after calculations it turns out that the size of each INDIVIDUAL pixel is 1.3 micrometers. Meaning each one out of the 13000000 pixels has a size of 0.000013 meters

this "false info" is just thje experience i get everyday since the galaxy s6 is my main phone that i use. And yes, is still think the oneplus 2 could be a serious competitor for this phone. Btw, i want a phone that works well, i dont care so much about the price, thats why i bought the galaxy s6 and now i think i got the right to be disappointet because it does not work so well in many aspects

The s6 as a whole is not a lagging device nor does it have bad battery life.
It's tied with the note 4 for worlds best mobile display. it goes way beyond simply just being higher resolution. and the camera is 99% guaranteed better. and i doubt it will beat the Z3+ except cointing the terrible auto mode processing.
however it is also pathetic that evderyone is sitting here claiming the this sucks just because it doesnt beat the S6. it would be quite pathetic for sa,sung if it did.

Screen - S6 QHD and high PPI
Processor - S6 Exynos>810 FACT
Camera - S6 (LG couldnt beat it either also MKBHD review)
Battery - OP2 larger but no quick charge or wireless and apparantely takes ages to charge (MKBHD covers this briefly)
Design - S6
Price - OP2 obviously because it has second best specs (S6 off warranty is less then 450 dollars)
Size - OP2 phablet? No thanks.

mwaran, 28 Jul 2015Does it support 4G bands in India?Op2 supports LTE FDD bands only, not TDD. Since Airtel(in most places) & (also upcoming RelianceJio will) provide 4G/LTE in TDD Band-40(2300Mhz) Op2 won't be suitable for 4G/LTE but if you are satisfied with 3G you can go in for it.

How far USB-C port supports fast charging. is it more faster than Quick Charge technology or lesser than that?

mwaran, 28 Jul 2015Does it support 4G bands in India?Since the Oneplus One did. 2 should also work good with Indian 4G bands. Moreover Oneplus said it will add more support for 4G all over the world with the 2 against the One.

Oneplus, Xiaomi, Meizu, and other chinese brands will kill Samsung, by in time.
but Apple will still exist.
