OnePlus 2 vs Samsung Galaxy S6 vs LG G4: Specs Comparison

So, OnePlus has finally announced the OnePlus 2 – the successor to its debut One, and the self-proclaimed "2016 flagship killer". The new device brings some notable improvements over its precursor, upgrading its hardware to the top-of-the-line specs of today and outfitting it with a fingerprint sensor. That aside, the new phone's design language is heavily reminiscent to the one we saw last year, only slightly retouched to keep up with current trends.

Of course, OnePlus became hugely popular thanks to the generous pricing of its phones – selling flagship-class hardware for around half the price of what huge companies offer their premium handsets fo. With the OnePlus 2, the company retains this tradition and has hung a $329 price-tag on the phone. That kind of money gets the users a Snapdragon 810 SoC, whopping 4 GB of RAM, and a 13 MP Sony IMX214-equipped camera with laser focus.

Keeping all this in mind, it's easy to see that the OnePlus 2 is certainly an alluring offer for anyone on the market for a high-class device who doesn't wish to break the piggy bank. Wondering how exactly this hardware compares to the two major Android players – the Galaxy S6 and LG G4? Check the comparison below and you will see – the OnePlus 2 ceartainly doesn't settle!
