So did very well from Santa this year and opened a present from my wife and folks that was a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge + VR kit.
I was very happy with my Oneplus 2 except for one thing - and from my own personal point of view it was a big thing - it last got an Android security patch in August..this from a company promising regular updates.
Which was the exact reason I'd moved away from Samsung in the first place. However, turned it on and got it all set up and it downloaded first the November and then a few days later the December security patches, so well played Samsung.
Other than that, I love the fast charge, the screen is excellent and the battery life equally excellent. I adore the curve to the screen with the edge displaying the clock at night to minimise light.
It isn't the most grippy material on the planet so a case was a must-have as soon as possible (though I do this + screen protector anyway).
It took a bit of effort to get EE's WiFi calling capability enabled - it turns out that the majority of UK stocked SIM free handsets are sourced in Europe including by the big stores such as Carphone Warehouse where mine originated from. This meant that although you could enable it in the settings, it wasn't being accepted by EE due to having German firmware. A quick flash to the latest stock (BTU) firmware and a call into EE to ensure it was enabled and pop! I got the SMS to say it was indeed, enabled, although I haven't been able to try it as yet.
Have to say although the OP2 is a 64GB dual-SIM phone, I prefer having a microSD slot.
And we tested the waterproofing capability of my friends on holiday last year when we took some great pool shots.
So all in all, I am actually far more impressed by the thing that I was expecting to be. I just hope Sammy keep the updates rolling
