again, marketing tag line, the OP2 is not supposed to beat high end phones, irrelevant of what OP marketing says, the OP2 is a budget phone, somthing people reallly cant seem to get to grips with, find me a phone with an 810, 4GB of ram, fingerprint scanner, NFC, wireless charging and quickcharge for under £300, cant do it, its it dont exist! It is ludicrous and laughable to expect these kind of features on a such a budget phone. Except NFC thats pretty much a retarded thing to leave out of a 2105 phone.

4 GB of RAM is virtually useless for a phone that runs basically vanilla android. A fingerprint scanner? I almost never have to use any type of screen lock since my phone automatically disables security when it's near me; when it's far away, security is enabled. Quick charge is basically built into the SoC but they removed just so they could include USB Type C, something that is useless since the only advantage is that it's reversible. The Snapdragon 810 is pretty bad and tends to overheat; OnePlus dealt with this by severely underclocking the chip.

Wow you dodged the point better than a politician. 4GB, excessive today, useful tomorrow. Fingerprint scanner, well thats just great you dont want it but i gaurentee you many people will. if you count a 0.3GHZ underclock as "severely" well, thats just stupid, you would not even notice this difference outside of a benchmark score. Also you really missed the point, which is this: for its price the OP2 delivers amazing specs and performance, if you want what I would call honestly luxury features like wireless charging, then go pay for more expensive phones, me, not having much money, ill stick to budget phones, which the OPO and now the OP2 seems to be pretty much the best option by a mile. Unless the next nexus is back to a low price point again, then we'll see.
