When will you get the update?
Earlier this month, the Chinese phone released the OnePlus 2 in select markets. It attempts to answer the question of whether the new version offers that much more than the original, especially considering the cheaper price of the OnePlus One now. There is no room for expansion in the OnePlus 2. The company only sells its phones online through an invitation system. OnePlus needs to make sure it has a buyer lined up for every phone it makes. Also, the company claims that the updated software version will bring battery performance improvements, as well as is meant for better user interface.
OnePlus is rolling out the very first update for Oxygen OS on its new OnePlus 2 smartphone.

They both have a fingerprint sensor, non-removable batteries and neither one has a microSD card slot to expand internal memory.
Barely out of the box yet, the One Plus 2 already has an upgrade for its Oxygen OS. So if you’re not connected or willing to pay for the privilege, you’ll have to wait. Yes, the Snapdragon 810 has had plenty of problems, but OnePlus is using the throttled version that does not produce overheating issues.
What’s more?The 16GB OnePlus 2 with 3GB LPPDR4 RAM will be available later this year. The premium metallic frame of the phone provides it with a heavy look.
During my six days with the OnePlus 2, I didn’t run into a single issue. The 13 megapixel camera takes great photos – but the shutter is slow. Not one. Far better than you can say for TouchWiz or Sense.
OnePlus update brings support for global carrier APNs and other improvements and bug fixes. When the user clicks that message, the worst thing can happen the user knowing it. Stagefright attack can destroy all stored data on your phone.
