ONE PLUS TWO Review

I've often wondered how a brand like one plus could have messed up so badly in the smartphone space. When the one plus one rolled around, my shoulders sagged further. How could a brand with so many hyper-intelligent researchers and well-paid designers make something so bland yet complex time and again? Both phones packed amazing power in a boring case, with each element somehow negating the other. This year though, following a reshuffle, things have changed. The one plus two is a thing of beauty, a complete redesign that really works, The key thing here though is, it appears that power is not there for the sake of it - each element has a purpose, to ensure the one plus two works well under the finger while finally being a phone you'd consider alongside an HTC or iPhone It's easy to see the one plus two is a great phone, and one one plus sorely needed - but coming from so far back (its flagship device was barely a top 10 phone last year) it wasn't hard to improve dramatically. Design:- Smartphones stopped needing more power a long, long time ago - arguably we could have called it quits with 2013's specs and spent the following months optimizing them to allow days-long battery. So with that race already run it became a battle for the best design, which meant that HTC suddenly rose to prominence once more, with a good-enough spec list sitting inside one of the best phones I've ever held. Apple managed the same thing with the new iPhone 6, focusing on a premium metallic shell while getting the battery life just about tolerable. All the while Samsung toiled in the background, promising that we'd start loving plastic at some point, showing that it's more robust and scuff-free and rugged... and it didn't work. Put simply: it's a much, much better phone, but again that's not hard when you've got the one plus one to improve upon. But the one plus two does feel very well packaged, the combination of metal and Gorilla Glass 4 giving no hint of creak or give when pressed. Design in more than one way. It's got rid of two of the staples that users have loved for years: the micro SD slot has been removed I'm behind the loss of the removable battery - after all, it's easier to carry a battery pack than shell out for a replacement power unit - but the micro SD card disappearance is a shame. I appreciate the quest for a better performance, and perhaps it will turn out to be up there with the iPhone when my full one plus two review comes out, but other Android phones seem to manage to tick along just fine with expandable storage. One plus is offering the one plus two in 16 GB, 64 GB flavors to compensate, but those latter options are likely to be pretty expensive. Well One Plus Two entered the market will exploit the new possibilities and give a tiff fight to the Giants.
