The biggest change from One Plus One in this new device is the improved camera features. Not that One Plus One camera was greatest of all, yet it was good for most of the users. The same has now been improved with Optical image Stabilisation and Laser Auto focus. Laser auto focus seems to be an idea brought from LG. One Plus claims that this feature lets the phone lock into focus within 0.3 seconds.
Uograding to a 64 bit processor is viewed as being a step towards being futureproof. Though the processor has reports of heating issues, One Plus has stated that it has taken care to fix the issue.
Finger print scanner is a welcome gesture. Priced at half of the price of a Galaxy S6, it could be a phone that can capture a good chunk of the smartphone market.
