Great deal. Basically a premium handset at a very sensible price.
I think marshmallow update is available for it now.
Marshmallow is in BETA
(Community build available on forums)
Some issues: Audio quality, some connectivity issues.
Improvements: Performance, fingerprint sensor, camera UI and quality.

and the oneplus 3 is just around the corner. The oneplus x comes with a free silicon cover and screen protector as standard-dont know if the 1 & 2 is the same?

Would have to agree, basically what the phone should have been for the last six months I have owned my plus2. Up until last week the phone was massively frustrating with constant lag appearing every 24 hours after a full reboot. I was going to just get rid and get something else but the marshmallow beta has saved it from being put on eBay...

Not had these issues and I think there aren't many established phones around that cost this price for these features. There are a lot of good £100-200 phones around but 90% of them run an awful skinned version of android and have crap cameras. As a Nexus man also, the Oxygen OS is one of the few that actually improves on lots of stock android features.

I got this phone. The marshmallow beta makes the phone almost perfect. Even though it's beta solved many of the software issues existing in OOS 2.2.x.
By picking up this phone, take into account that technical support from OnePlus isn't that famous. Before you send the phone back, you need to do some techy/geeky stuff on the phone (flash stuff, recoveries, fastboot modes, etc) to allow them to remotely make a diagnostic and make a decision on what to do.
Does not have quick charge, but has usb type-c (it's just a gimmick for them to say that its high tech, lol....)
To the guy thinking between OP2 and 6P... If you can afford the 6P, take the 6P, by far the best android phone out there at the moment. If you want to take a good phone and also take the missus to a week off in Crete (check hukd earlier this week), take the OP2, spend the remaining 250£ on the trip. :P
However, as someone already said back there.... OnePlus3 is coming out soon...
Cheers

Will never have quick charge. In terms of battery it is the only phone I own that will get me from 6:30am to 11:30pm...and I own about 10 different android and iOS devices.

yes type C, fingerprint scanner as well. Seems well equipped in all departments.
My daughter has a OnePlus 1 and the whole operation, packaging delivery & support is very slick.
Deciding between this and a Nexus 5x.

I own both. NFC not on the OP2 (is on OP1) and on Nexus 5X and camera is better. I've just gone back to my OnePlus 2 due to battery life, the camera is still good and it has 64GB onboard. I can't get through a full day with my Nexus. Shame as I love the device but dying at 5-6pm from 6:30am is such a pain as it is just when I need it the most. I can charge it about 4pm but then having to charge a phone twice a day is a pain! Plus you need to factor in the 32GB for the 5X to make the most of the camera.

Marshmallow is not available for on air update, you unless you prepared to download beta version of the software through 'dirty' update. This phone does have snapdragon 810 and 4gb ram but otherwise I found it very slow due to software issues /snapdragon 810 throttling due to overheating issue. Also does not have sd card slot or water proofing or nfc/touch payment option so makes a poor choice considered the options for new phone available now.

I'm thinking of getting an upgrade from an s4 and was wondering if I should get this or a Nexus 6p. Any thoughts anyone?

Having had both I would say 6P by a long shot (but the Mate 8 **** over all other phones out there, even the wifes S7 edge!)

If you're deciding between OnePlus Two and Nexus 6P then the 6P wins hands down.
Nexus 6P has a fantastic camera, distinctive design, beautiful Quad HD AMOLED screen and is the first to receive Android updates.

read a review that 6p is the best overall smartphone to date. But OP3 coming out soon, so is Xiaomi Mi6 & the Nexus for this year, so wait maybe?
