You have to give them credit since they built the phone on Cyanogen... And then they split... And essentially had to rework everything.
Like yea, it wasnt ready for launch but Oxygen OS is improving. Just look at the new gallery update.
Personally I'll never understand why anyone even bothered with the OnePlus 2 in the first place. Like I was really hyped about it... Until it launched. So many other better phones were coming out. While we can disagree over why the Moto X Pure was better or not over pricing and performance of the 808 vs 810, the only real difference between them was the fingerprint sensor on the OnePlus... Which literally was just that. No NFC... (Actually working on a prototype for a NFC based finger print scanning tag for one of the preps I have to do this semester... Which would make phones, or even laptops, able to unlock without a built in sensor... Plus you'd be able to position it anywhere... #Confidential #BuyItWhenIMakeItK)
Plus the ZTE Axon Pro further killed the OnePlus 2 since it literally had the same specs(better RAM cap too), with a better screen at the same cost- sold internationally without invites.

I rarely used nfc, paying stuff with my phone is convenient sure, but why? Why not use your credit card? The r/w p2p feature is nice though
I always avoid upgrading every time a new flagship is released, it feels useless as I don't need the extra processing power, I am satisfied with what I have and I mostly upgrade when my phone needs repair for the 2nd time in its life span.
Yeah if you use something like AutoCAD the extra processing power would increase your productivity, but still... the oldest phone I have thats still working is the LG 290 Cookie Fresh, when I upgraded to the SGS3 back in 2012 it was really an experience, my LG phone was broken beyond dead, the touch screen is unresponsive, there were color artifacts everywhere, and the phone would turn off by itself, replacing the digitizer would be hard as in Montreal (Quebec, Canada) finding one for an unpopular phone would be bloody insane.
When I first used the SGS3 I was really impressed, the touchscreen is much more sensitive, the phone is fast even with the scrappy TouchWiz, and most of all, it supported more audio format, important to me as I buy music via iTunes & online stores and its all .acc
Speaking of iTunes, the first iOS device I had was the 3GS, it wasn't new as it was my dad's, I really liked the ease of use, now I'm rocking the iPad Air 2 and plan to not upgrade for 1-3 years, what I hate about Apple products is how expensive they are, but they're premium so its not unexpected.
