The 64GB OnePlus 2 will be available for purchase with an invite in India starting August 11 for Rs 24,999 exclusively on Amazon.

The 16GB OnePlus 2 with 3GB LPPDR4 RAM will be available later this year.  OnePlus has also promised that it will be hosting pop-up events in 9 cities including New Delhi and Bangalore on July 31 to help users experience the new OnePlus 2.

OnePlus 2 is made of aluminum-magnesium alloy frame and jewelry-grade stainless steel. OnePlus 2 also comes with a fingerprint sensor which the company claims to be faster than Apple’s TouchID. Users can store 5 fingerprints on the OnePlus 2 scanner.

On the camera front, OnePlus 2 has a 13-megapixel camera with dual LED flash and a slow motion mode as well. The front camera is 5 megapixels.

OnePlus 2 runs OxygenOS, with Android 5.1. OnePlus says Oxygen OS has subtle customizations like on “screen gestures, dark mode, and the ability to switch between hardware and capacitive buttons and toggle quick settings.”

The OnePlus 2 features an alert slider for quick access to custom notification settings, which can also silence the device with a simple click.

The battery is 3300mAh which OnePlus says will last all day. This is a Dual-SIM 4G LTE smartphone. OnePlus 2 comes with 4 GB LPDDR4, 64-bit Snapdragon 810 processor and a Type C-USB port.
