OnePlus is known to create 'flagship-killer' smartphones. Their latest 2016 global offering is the OnePlus 3, successor to the OnePlus 2.
So some may say that OnePlus went a little overboard with pricing the OnePlus 3 at Rs 27,999, but then it also includes a number of features not present in many other phones launched this year.
And if you have been a OnePlus fan and are now in a dilemma that should you buy the latest one or the OnePlus 2? On some e-commerce websites you can get the OnePlus 2 for as low as Rs 16,500 and the latest flagship killer is a good Rs 10,000 expensive. To make things simpler for you, here's a spec by spec comparison of the OnePlus 2 with the OnePlus 3. Design
The OnePlus 2 and the OnePlus One were known for their sandstone back panels. This time OnePlus decides to go the conventional way with the OnePlus 3 and gave it a metal frame and body. The design lines are fairly similar to the OnePlus 2. But OnePlus is offering swappable covers in sandstone and wooden finish. Display
The OnePlus 2 is loaded with an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processor, clocked at 1.82 GHz, and backed by the Adreno 430 GPU and 3 GB or 4 GB of RAM. Specs like that are still relevant in 2016. But on the OnePlus 3 you get a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor, clocked at 2.2 GHz, and backed by the Adreno 530 GPU along with a massive 6 GB of RAM.
The 820 processor is known for heating up but so was the case with the octa-core 810 chipset. The key upgrade here is the GPU and the 6 GB RAM. That is something that you don't even get in many personal computers these days.
Both the processors are good enough to handle your everyday needs and are capable of satisfying a heavy user of a smartphone. The OnePlus 2 runs on Oxygen OS based on Android 6.0 Marshmallow, quite like the OnePlus 3.Storage
The OnePlus 2 had a satisfactory camera module. It came with a 13 megapixel rear camera, f/2.0 aperture, OIS, 5 megapixel front-facing camera. OnePlus has improved the camera specs on the OnePlus 3 as it now offers a 16 megapixel rear camera, f/2.0 aperture, OIS, EIS and an 8 megapixel front-facing camera.Battery
The OnePlus 2 is now readily available on many e-commerce platforms right now in India. From prices starting at as low as Rs 16,500 for the 16 GB sandstone version. While the OnePlus 3 is exclusive to only one e-commerce player and it's priced at Rs 27,999.
