There are still some misses, like
the lack of quick charging and fingerprint scanner.
A downside to the battery is complete
lack of any quick charging support.
While OnePlus states the new phone is a 2016 flagship killer, the lack of NFC, use of a 1080p display, and
lack of Quick Charge support make it even less than a 2015 flagship.

It's worth noting that the
Quick Charge 3.0 samples shown here do not behave as efficiently under load as other alternatives that offload much
of the voltage conversion and heat dissipation to outside hardware; it's more than serviceable if you want to use it while
charging, however we don't see the
lack of throttling and heat buildup found on solutions like Dash
Charge.
Does the
lack of removable battery, wireless
charging and
quick charging put you off the OnePlus 2?
With last year's OnePlus 2, users did without a number
of features that we might expect to see on a more full - featured flagship, especially in the power department: not only did the phone
lack a wireless
charging option (forgivable), but there was no
quick -
charge mode to be found (a much harder pill to swallow).
Costing around # 125, the Xiaomi Redmi 2 is a great phone, but the
lack of NFC and
quick charging are irksome, as its creaky case...
Its
lack of NFC, wireless
charging,
Quick Charge 2.0, and expandable storage may be a deal breaker for some, but it's not the end
of the world in my opinion.
