Yesterday ended with the presentation of a new pillar of world Android. We are talking about OnePlus 2 , a terminal that has all it takes to make itself heard, for better or for worse, starting dall’appellativo decidedly exaggerated numbers that they gave one of the leadership flagship killer 2016 . In today’s article we will try to compare it to the card with the more famous Samsung Galaxy S6 , to help users undecided on the purchase to make a rational and informed choice. We will start from design to describe them.
DESIGN . The respective designers have worked hard to present users with the two terminals but started from completely different ideas. Those of OnePlus have chosen to remain very faithful to the old generation of their flagship focusing solely on the creation of a body more resistant thanks to the use of an alloy of aluminum and magnesium , with several steel inserts steel placed on side profiles that contribute to the feeling of premium smartphones.
To the rear is the preferred polycarbonate, this time in one color Black Sandstone, but replaceable thanks to StyleSwap that are made from different materials: ceramic, quartz, leather, mother of pearl. All the while ignoring much optimization of size with the express purpose of not detract too much solidity and robustness that a true top of the range has to offer.
Samsung Galaxy S6, the body design Samsung
2 is great indeed OnePlus 151.8 x 74.9 x 9.85 mm against 143.4 x 70.5 x 6.8 mm the Galaxy S6 (142.1 x 70.1 x 7 mm for the variation curve at the sides). Although the latter has the same aesthetic features of its predecessors but with a suitably modernized estemizzazione, succeeded we would add, whose merit is also of ‘ anodized aluminum for the frame, which is the side profiles and smartphone by glass Gorilla Glass 4, arranged for the front and rear .
Just as the body of the terminal is customizable, available in various colors: pearl white, black, gold blue topaz (exclusive Galaxy S6) and green esmeraldo (exclusive Galaxy S6 Edge) . Colors, invevitabilmente due to the presence of glass, are brighter and more defined.
DISPLAY . Part of the aesthetic choices also affect the display that is both generous but not excessive. Among the thin edges dell’OnePlus 2 was placed a LCD panel with IPS technology In-Cell to 5.5-inch diagonal, 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution, 401 PPI , viewing angle up to 178 degrees and a maximum brightness of 600 nits. A record for the category.
A solution that is still beaten by Samsung features a panel Super AMOLED 5.1-inch diagonal and a resolution of 1440 x 2560 pixels (qHD) who depends on the density of pixels per inch, a value of the definition led to ‘ great value of 577 PPI . Both configurations are then protected from falls and scratches thanks to the protection Gorilla Glass that the Samsung Galaxy S6 is in its most recent evolution. OnePlus, however, not declared.
OnePlus 2, the processor OnePlus
CHIPSET AND MEMORY . The two System On Chip used on the two sides have in common despite several aspects are different in many others. To OnePlus 2 is rumored Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 , the unit includes a Octa Core processor limited to 1.8 Ghz and characterized by ‘ architecture of ARM big.LITTLE that the combined use of four core Cortex A57 with four other lower power, Cortex A53, supported in turn by 4 GB of RAM LPDDR4 and the dedicated GPU Adreno 430 clocked at 630 Mhz .
Chatted because everyone knows of overheating problems plaguing but on OnePlus 2 should not exist thanks to a revision of the kernel acting on the throttling of the core A57, increasing the memory bandwidth to reduce latency. The same architecture big.LITTLE 64-bit for the optimized management of the core is present on the Samsung Galaxy S6 that betting everything sull’Octa Core Exynos 7420 . A unit characterized by 4 Cortex A57 2.0 Ghz and other 4 1.5 Ghz Cortex A53 . In more complex operations comes in the GPU Mali T-760 supported in turn 3 GB of RAM .
As these are two SoC performance by more than good, is to reward the choice of OnePlus 2 to enter a higher amount of RAM. 4 GB, in fact, can be properly exploited by the architecture 64-bit processor . Always the System On Chip depends connectivity that includes both amounts because of the support Smart Ready Bluetooth 4.1, Wi-Fi 802.11 a / b / g / n / ac, A-GPS, GLONASS, and LTE HSPA + 21/42 Mbps .
However, it should be emphasized that 2 is absent on OnePlus NFC while this technology Dual SIM Standby thanks to the double slot Nanosim. The internal memory eMMC soldered to the motherboard of the two terminals, for both non-expandable, is available in three cuts to the Samsung Galaxy S6: 32, 64 GB in mind only 64 GB version for OnePlus 2 . It seems clear, therefore, that for users constantly looking for space Samsung smartphone is the most versatile and suitable.
OnePlus 2, the camera software OnePlus
MULTIMEDIA FUND . OnePlus has paid special attention to the multimedia sector and on its new top of the line begins with a rear camera of 13 megapixels with autofocus laser, f / 2.0 , goal six elements that prevents distortion Back , optical stabilizer OIS and Double LED flash . A mix that thanks to the sensor that contains pixels 1.3 uM to catch the light, one of the highest values for a 13-megapixel cam, ensures unbeatable performance even in low light conditions.
A slightly less hardware has the Galaxy S6, which is equipped with a rear camera of 16 megapixel Sony , accessible directly by a double press on the power button and containing pixel 1.12 uM with optical Image Stabilizer , autofocus “normal” and flash LED . Before, on both, there is a cam 5 megapixel for video calls and self portraits . Similarly, the body also incorporates a speaker on OnePlus 2 is run on the software side by a AudioTuner powered MaxxAudio.
Samsung Galaxy S6, Rapid Charge Battery Samsung
BATTERY . The discourse on autonomy is particularly complex and deserves at least a first test of the two terminals because the 3300 mAh battery of OnePlus 2 could easily be equivalent to that from 2550 mAh of the new Galaxy S6 (2600 mAh Edge to S6). The main differences in these cases, in fact, depend mostly from the screen and from the processor. A batch size can make a difference the technology used by the two panels, which in this case favors the terminal by Samsung, and the intelligent management of resources by the processor.
The two System On Chip work in a similar manner and thus to make a real difference will be the type of optimization made to the chip. Both batteries are not removable but only the Korean manufacturer’s technology supports fast charging that the battery door from zero to 50% in just 30 minutes and the possibility of recharge Wireless: Wireless .
OPERATING SYSTEM . Android is the operating system for both smartphones that, taking into account latest available updates, also share the same software version: 5.1 Lollipop . However, it is impossible to make a comparison because their custom interfaces developed and applied by the two manufacturers make a completely different user experience. OnePlus OxygenOS has developed to provide a user experience simple: light and intuitive.
Samsung, however, is known for its TouchWiz not quite snappy, although much slimmer than before. But then WHAT TO TAKE, WHO WINS, WHO LOSES? The two terminals, as we have seen, differ in some aspects analyzed individually can push the purchase of one over the other. Overall, however, are the same even though solutions that we have not explained how the fingerprint reader, velocismo on OnePlus 2, and cardiofrequenzimentro, present only on the Galaxy S6, combine to make this the most comprehensive terminal .
Especially if you choose the Galaxy S6 Edge, the version with the curved screen on the sides: a cosmetic feature that helps make the terminal more slender and attractive, and in any case appropriately supported from the software point of view for an innovative user as well as innovative it is on the whole the device. Our response, therefore, is clear . Complicating the cards is just the price, very much in favor of the terminal Chinese house: available at 399 Euro .
The official prices of Samsung, without discount, are Euro 739 with 32 GB memory and 849 Euro for one with 64 GB memory. More expensive version with a curved screen that starts from 889 euro and reaches 999 Euro . Then choose which one to buy it anyway to the end user who will evaluate all to suit your needs.
