Why OnePlus 2 Might Fail As the Flagship Killer!



For the OnePlus 2, the HYPE was real! We now have seen hands-on about this device and what it can do and what it brings to the table. But, we also seen what it can not do and what deal breakers it lost and might cause it not to deliver on its promise as the Flagship Killer.  Although, some of its specs are up to par with the Galaxy S6, M9, G4, and the iPhone 6 Plus, it was missing out on some key features.  Last years's OnePlus One came with NFC.  This year's OnePlus 2 doesn't include it as of right now.  This is a major "Oh-no ".  NFC you will need it for one major function "Android Pay".  Android Pay will be Google's revamp of Google Wallet.  Which will allow you to make purchases with your Android smartphones at grocery stores, gas stations, department stores and so on.. Hopefully OnePlus makes a fix. If not, you are not going to want to purchase the phone.  Also another issue here is that this device won't come with a SD card slot. As we have recently seen Samsung make this move with the Galasy S6 and S6 Edge and possibly the Galaxy Note 5, OnePlus has also made sacrifice by not accepting SD card slots into their phones.  Your only choices this year with the OnePlus 2 are a 16GB internal and 64GB internal storage version of the phone.  These are you only choices. For goodness sake, why are companies still making 16GB internal storages on high-end smartphones? Even reports out are even saying that Apple's iPhone 6s is suppose to still bring a 16GB of internal memory to its flagships.  Once again, Why! But, these are besides the points. Also, OnePlus 2 is equipped with the SnapDragon 810, which is also in the HTC One M9.  This chip has been the talk of the year for its overheating madness.  No word yet on if this is going on in the OnePlus 2 right now. But, will keep a close eye on this as more updates and news continue to unfold. day-by-day.  OnePlus 2 also doesnt come with a removable battery as well.  To some, this can be a big deal.  But, once again I must reference to Samsung as this is becoming a infamous trend and it spreading like a wild-fire! With the 3,000 mah battery in the OnePlus 2 and a Snapdragon 810 chip, better pray battery life isn't a pain as this phone isn't equipped with a quick charger! What in the world OnePlus? What are you doing to your consumers!   One more thing! The OnePlus 2 doesn't have is the Wireless Charging! No Wireless Charging at all is discovered here guys. You have to charge your device up using the USB Type C. Which seems pretty cool and nice and gamechanger.  But, there is another issue here.  It will take about up to 4 hours to charge your device up to 100%! Now, who wants to wait that long for their device to charge up?  Are you all not seeing the big picture here?  This should turn you all away from this device! Its really a NO BRAINER! The only thing that look attractive at this point is the price for the 3GB of RAM and 64GB of internal memory on phone is its price tag @ $389.99! We will talk about that in another article. But, remember what all you are missing and losing out of.  This, my followers, and viewers, and readers is why the OnePlus 2 fails as being a "Flagship Killer".
