The Good

– Built from a strong and lightweight metal
– 1080p 5.5 inch display will help with battery life, 600 nits , 178 degree readability, sunlight visible
– Dual sim
– USB Type C
– Alert Slider – control which incoming notifications provide sound or vibration
– Fingerprint sensor -stores up to 5 fingers
– 13mp OIS rear camera, last focus, can take 120 frames per second, 6 lenses to avoid distortion and color aberration, f/2.0
– 5mp front camera
– Snapdragon 810 with 4gb ram, 64 GB/16 GB eMMC v5.0, Adreno™ 430
– Colours – start with Sandstone Black and expands over time. OnePlus has four StyleSwap covers to choose from as well: Bamboo, Black Apricot, Rosewood, and Kevlar
– $329 for the 16GB model and $389 for the 64GB model
– Accelerometer, Gyroscope, Proximity and Ambient Light sensors

– Weight 175g
– GSM: 850, 900, 1800, 1900MHz, WCDMA: Bands: 1/2/5/8, FDD-LTE: Bands: 1/3/5/7/8/20
– Dual-band Wi-Fi: 2.4GHz 802.11b/g/n and 5GHz 802.11a/n/ac
– Bluetooth 4.1
– Internal GPS antenna + GLONASS, Digital Compass

This is why the Oneplus 2 is not the Flagship Killer.

The Bad

– No quick charging support of any kind
– Only 1080p screen which is not as high as displays from LG, Samsung and others, 401 ppi
– Camera only f/2.0 – not up with the best from LG with f/1.8
– OxygenOS returns, likely based on Android 5.1 Lollipop
– No NFC
– No Qi charging
– No Micro SD
– No removable battery

All the phone really offers is a low cost phone, well built with a few compromises that probably won’t matter to most people. Personally, the lack of quick charger is a huge oversight. Otherwise it seems a reasonable deal.
