The OnePlus 2 is among the most frequent visitors of our rumored section but with all the leaks and conflicting information
we are unsure on what some of the hardware will be. The exterior was a
whole other, but TENAA might have just lent us a helping hand there The
OnePlus team might be hell-bent on teasing us, up until the launch on July 27,
but there is still no going around the Chinese certification authority,
which just happens to require and list photos of the products it
approves.

Consequently, we now get to see the OnePlus 2 in all its glory and
there are quite a few surprising aspects of the phone's exterior. First
the similarities - the basic shape seems unchanged, as well as the
signature sandstone back and that's about it
.
Perhaps the most-surprising new feature is the round,
Samsung-like, physical button on the front. While the OnePlus One does
have capacitive buttons for navigation, an actual button is a definite
departure from the company’s original style. Presumably, this new
control is present, so it can house the fingerprint sensor, hinted by previous rumors.
The camera seems to be lower down the back and is now quite
reminiscent of recent LG design. It, however, doesn’t appear to offer
any additional buttons, so the new placement is probably due to some
internal reshuffling of bits. Looking at the sides of the OnePlus 2, we
can see one more change - the controls are now swapped with the unlock
button on the left and the volume rocker on the right.

The OnePlus 2 TENAA listing doesn’t come with a specs section yet,
but as far as we currently know, the OnePlus 2 will come with a 5.7-ich
screen with a resolution of 1440 x 2560 pixels. Underneath the hood is a
Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 SoC, allegedly a new v2.1 model
with better heat management. RAM should be 4GB, while storage will come
in 16GB and 32GB versions. The camera setup consists of a 16MP main
camera and a 5MP front-facing one. Finally, battery capacity should be
around 3,300 mAh and there is also talk of dual SIM support.
The OnePlus 2 isn't a name brand flagship device but it offers the similar attractive platter of excellence specs and low price. At the moment, I'm most frightened with its sharp display and fantastic camera.
