The company has also taken out the logo from the front. It sports a 5.5-inch 1080p display. As promised, the smartphone also comes with a fingerprint scanner and USB Type-C port. The fingerprint scanner is **faster than the iPhone TouchID** and lets you save up to five fingerprints, says OnePlus. https://twitter.com/tech2eets/status/625853615689764865 https://twitter.com/tech2eets/status/625853839313256448 On the camera front, it comes with a 13-megapixel snapper.

It comes powered by Snapdragon 810 coupled with 4GB of RAM. https://twitter.com/oneplus/status/625854495977660417 It runs OxygenOS, and says it isn’t your pure Android. It comes with some significant changes. It allows you drastically change the look and feel of the device with a single switch. The colour mode will let you select custom accents colours, or even use dark mode. App Permissions lets users control what apps can access, such as your location, identity, or contacts. The OnePlus 2 has a 3300mAh battery. Meanwhile Android Central has got an exclusive hands-on with the device and has also revealed some high-end images of the upcoming device.

OnePlus will also be recognising the contribution of all those who helped spread the word around OnePlus One and taking it “from an unknown company to where we are today”.  The post adds, “Specifically, I’m talking about phone smashers, early forum members, early purchasers and the most active OnePlus One invite evangelists. We want to show you our gratitude by offering you some of the first invites to purchase the OnePlus 2.”
