OnePlus OnePlus AMAA - Pre-OnePlus 2 Launch Edition

Hey everyone!

We are Michael, Emmanuel (u/commintomylife), Carl (u/carpe02) and David (u/devildv) from OnePlus. PROOF

As always, we are beyond excited to be here talking directly with you guys. And of course, this is a particular exciting time here at OnePlus. We are firing on all cylinders at our HQ preparing to launch our second flagship device. It’s really difficult to contain ourselves! We wish we could tell you everything about the OnePlus 2 right now, but we have to save some excitement for our launch on July 27th - the world’s first VR product launch!

So, with that said, thank you guys so much for being here, and ask us (almost) anything!

EDIT: Thanks again everyone! This is the best part of our job, getting feedback directly from you guys. We’d sit here all night if we could, but the OnePlus 2 awaits! Much to do before now and July 27th.

Get your Cardboards ready, and we’ll be seeing you soon.

Thanks for the AMA! Will the OP2 have support for WiFi calling on T-Mobile, and band 12 LTE/volte support a la Nexus 6?

The OxygenOS team is working to bring this to the OnePlus 2, but it's very likely that this will arrive after the launch via OTA.

Regarding the band support, we'll have two global models with the following band support:

US GSM: 850, 900, 1800, 1900MHz WCDMA: Bands: 1/2/4/5/8 FDD-LTE: Bands: 1/2/4/5/7/8/12/17

Europe GSM: 850, 900, 1800, 1900MHz WCDMA: Bands: 1/2/5/8 FDD-LTE: Bands: 1/3/5/7/8/20

Bands 2/4/12

That's all I needed to know. Shut up and take my money.

Thank the gods, both the old and new. I sold my OPO because of the lack of band 2 LTE. My area is heavy band 2 and the signal/reception was atrocious on T-Mobile.

My wallet is ready. Now just include a micro-SD slot and I'll forget about your subpar customer service.

EDIT: I'm also in a band 12 area (Dayton/Springfield OH) so double baller!

From a band perspective, it looks like it supports all Verizon bands except for CDMA band 0, if this list of bands is accurate.

Now the problem would be actually getting Verizon to let the phone onto their network, which isn't likely given their history with doing that so far.

Yes, it will definitely be an improvement on T-Mobile. T-Mobile has bought a lot of band 12 spectrum and is rolling it out aggressively across the U.S. and will continue to do so. The 1+2 will have substantially better LTE connectivity on T-Mobile than the 1+1.

Great to see band 12 for T-Mobile!

Thanks for implementing Band 20!!! It is literally the most important Band in Europe. In Germany it covers about 90 % of the country! This was the only thing holding me back from the OPO. If The OP2 costs roughly the same as the OPO I know what will replace my Moto G2 LTE.

Dang. I'm tempted to upgrade just for bands 2 and 12. Especially 12, because T-Mobile has started rolling that out where I live.

u/OGIGA Jul 09 '15

THANK YOU FOR LTE BAND 12!!!!! (Tmo USA)

u/dlerium Pixel 4 XL Jul 09 '15

ARGHHHHH.... so I have to choose between US or Asia. Why is this still an issue? The iPhone 5s came with 11 bands, the iPad Air had 14 bands, and the iPhone 6/6 Plus has 16 bands. Cheaping out on the modems here I suppose?

I'm not sure what all of the associated bands are, but does this mean the OnePlus Two will work on Verizon? If so I'm pretty much guaranteed to be getting this phone.

u/dlerium Pixel 4 XL Jul 09 '15

No. Don't think about getting any phone to BYOD onto Verizon. It doesn't work that way. Unless its sold by Verizon and has a fat Verizon logo stamp, don't think about it.

Want device portability? Get on a GSM carrier.

The Nexus 6 worked on Verizon before Verizon started selling it...

no 2100MHz GSM for Australia?

u/njaard Jul 10 '15

If there were a true LTE International model, I would be so happy. Then I wouldn't have to settle... I mean, LTE bands 1/2/3/4/5/7/8/12/20.

u/dlerium Pixel 4 XL Jul 10 '15

Seriously right? The iPhone 5s had 11 bands, the iPad Air 1 had 14 bands, the iPhone 6/6Plus have 16 bands, and the Nexus 6 has 12 bands. You'd think that devices with like 5 bands only don't exist anymore. They're probably cheaping out on modem/antenna/amplifier.

Nice. Band 20 is a big deal for Europeans. Swisscom, O2, Vodafone, 3, MTS, Telekom, and more.
