Specs aside, which should you buy?

Well, heres how they compare, after long-term use.

Plus, they dont want to compromise on features in the process.

It also has a built-in fingerprint-sensor on the rear-center of the phone.

Oh, its also powered by USB-C, which means it charges that 3450 mAh battery super fast.

TheOnePlus 2: The successor to the OnePlus One, one Gizmodo haspraised for being powerful and affordable.

Each model is available in black, aluminum, and frost (white.)

All models come with 3GB of RAM, and I tested a 64GB version, in black.

I tested the 64GB version of this one, too.

The difference is pretty stark on paper.

The 64GB models of each are $160 apart.

Of course, there are other reasons for the price difference.

Neither feel cheap, and both feel like they can take a few bumps without batting an eye.

which makes unlocking the unit seriously as easy as picking it up or pulling it out to use.

The OnePlus 2 is smaller by comparison, and noticeably heavier and thicker than other phones that compare.

Its even heavier than the original OnePlus One.

Thats not really a problem until it’s crucial that you unlock it one-handed.

Beyond weight, the OnePlus 2 is slim and clean looking.

The dual front-facing speakers on the Nexus 6P are incredible.

Compared with virtually every other phone on my bench right now, the 6Ps speakers shine through.

The OnePlus 2s main stereo speaker is at the bottom, and sounds tinny and noisy by comparison.

Those controls are great when you connect headphones or speakers, though.

Battery Life

On paper, the batteries for both phones have similar battery capacity.

Thats a nice feeling.

The OnePlus 2 manages its battery well too, just notaswell.

Maybe its because its running Lollipop still, or as some people say, Oxygen is battery heavy.

I didnt really get that impression.

If youre a mobile gamer, well, you know the drill.

Long story short, theyre both very good.

Nice one, OnePlus.

The Verdict

You didnt expect a clear winner here, did you?

The real question here is how important is this feature to me in the grand scheme of things?

An audiophile may prefer the Nexus 6Ps stellar speakers, but not its price.

Maybe you like Android Pay, or want Marshmallow.

Anyone can buy it now.)

We cant blame you either way.
