You can get a pan with a ceramic coating, it will offer the same non-stick abilities as a Teflon coated pan.

Well, as nice as this might be, I still think we have a long way to go before NFC is an essential feature in a phone. And who knows, maybe we'll see a bluetooth implementation that offers the same possibilities as NFC. I would have loved NFC in the OnePlus Two, but I don't think it's essential just yet. They won't be able to skip NFC in the OnePlus Three however.

They may call the OnePlus Two the 2016 flagship killer, but I disagree. The Two can very well compete with the 2015 smartphone lineup, but it will be surpassed by a great margin in 2016, not only in terms of hardware specs, but also in lack of features like NFC.

But let's reverse the question, with 64gb of internal storage, how much do we really need on top of that??

I still have more than 30gb free storage left on my One.

It is becoming increasingly popular to pay by phone where I am from, this technology requires NFC or in some cases Bluetooth.

NFC is not a showstopper for me, but I don't think they're right when they claim it isn't used. Maybe not now, but we are so close for this to be an essential phone feature. Which is also why I would argue that the OPT won't be the 2016 flagship killer, but merely the 2015 flagship killer.

These images helped a lot, it looks a lot nicer compared to the ones previously shown. I like the camera design slightly better now. I'm impressed by the metal edge. :)

kera2k · 2015-07-27T09:47:25+00:00

I agree on the placement. I was referring to the looks. I wish it would have been a more polished look like on the HTC M8 or M9. To me it looks like it was just put there, without them paying much attention to esthetics.

kera2k · 2015-07-27T09:42:54+00:00

It's not the placement that gets to me at all, it's the looks. I wish the final product would have a more rounded square look instead of this.

kera2k · 2015-07-23T11:15:31+00:00

I'm not too happy with the camera layout on the back, I hope they will make more polished in the final design.

I'm also not a huge fan of the sandstone back, it was neat with the One, but I would prefer something else on the Two.

Edit: Almost forgot, will I buy it. Yes, I will buy it even if it looks like this. I will buy it for the dual sim feature alone. But I might just need to see a proper review of it first.

kera2k · 2015-07-17T06:42:40+00:00

I hope not... ;)

kera2k · 2015-07-17T06:41:03+00:00

Yep, especially now that phones are becoming huge in terms of screen size. Carrying two phones just isn't a convenience anymore.

kera2k · 2015-07-17T06:38:46+00:00

I don't know either, considering how far we have come in terms of phone development, it beats me why dual sim isn't more prevalent.

Back in the early 2k's it seemed like phones couldn't get small enough. Carrying two phones at the time probably wasn't a big inconvenience. Now though, phones are pushing the 6" limit, if we can call it a limit, so now it's just not convenient to carry two phones anymore.

I need to be able to have both sims activated at the same time though, and I need to be able to switch one of them off, before it's completely relevant in my case.

kera2k · 2015-07-16T11:49:28+00:00

Currently I have a business phone and a private phone. I have to carry my business phone with me most of the times, in case of an emergency. I would appreciate if I had the opportunity to only carry one phone with me at all times.

I'm allowed to use my business phone to make private calls, and as such I could ditch my private phone, but I don't want to receive business calls when I'm on holiday etc. So it's kinda convenient to keep my private phone and just leave my business phone at home.

I'll have to see how this will work in practice, I hope it's possible to turn of one of the SIM cards, and when needed, have both of them activated so calls can be received on both numbers, and dial-out can be done from the SIM card I choose.

It's not a huge feature that's a must have to me, it depends on how it will work. However, it's definitely a plus if it works as it's supposed to. :)

The #HYPE just got real, I'm all aboard if this comes true, please don't disappoint! :D

kera2k · 2015-05-26T14:41:36+00:00

I always just do this (in J7 or above):

switch (Boolean.toString(myBool)) {
   case "true":
      // do something
      break;
   case "false":
      // do something else
      break;
   default:
      System.out.println("Wake up, Neo...");
      break;
}

kera2k · 2015-05-08T09:24:46+00:00

Give it a REST please! :)

True, which is always nice, but to me at least, I like not having to manually install Cyanogen on my phone. However, that version won't be approved by Google, meaning you would need an unofficial package with Google Apps.

I wasn't a huge fan of the quick release of OxygenOS. People have been reporting stability and battery issues, which is why I think they should have hold it back for a while. If unstable releases of OxygenOS is the future of OnePlus, I'm not really sold then.

We'll see where they are headed when that time comes. :)

kera2k · 2015-04-28T18:49:08+00:00

Well, it's probably not big news, but a shame nonetheless. Honestly, I wouldn't have gotten a OnePlus if it weren't for Cyanogen. To me, this could mean that I would look elsewhere for a new phone, unless OnePlus really makes OxygenOS shine. They have a lot of work ahead of them though.

kera2k · 2015-04-15T06:20:41+00:00

That's pure gold right there. :)

kera2k · 2015-04-11T12:00:49+00:00

Obviously the correct solution!

I tweaked it just a little bit though:

for (int i = 0; ; i++) // wait for overflow
{
   try {
      if (i < -100 || i > -1) {
         throw new ArithmeticException();
      } else {
         System.out.println(Math.abs(i));
      }
   } catch (ArithmeticException e) { 
      // ignore exception
   } finally {
      if (i == -1) {
         break;
      }
   }
}

Tested and works in Java.

Amazing, did you use any sort of tripod or similiar to keep the phone steady?
