There are more options in OnePlus 2 for changing the style from SandStone Black to Black Apricot, Bamboo, Kevlar and Rosewood using standard backplate. If you consider all the points including the light weight, ease of handling and aesthetic looks, the winner is obvious here.

Ease of availability
This is one of the very new and important factor now a days while purchasing the smartphone. If you want the smartphone immediately in your hand after ordering it online, it is possible for Nexus 6.

For OnePlus 2 you need to have an invite which is a major problem for most of the potential buyers.
Winner : Nexus 6
Final Verdict
Both these flagship smartphones of the respective companies have some or the other forte in every feature. If you want to buy a smartphone worth your money we will suggest you to go for OnePlus 2.

I will buy One Plus 2 because of the low price and superb features
Hi Jayesh,
Thats your choice. Hope our comparison was helpful for your decision making. 🙂
Nexus devices are the best. You get to use the latest OS from google directly to your device. I own Nexus 5 and thinking of upgrading it to Nexus 6.
Hi Ritika,
You seem to be a fan of Nexus devices. Though it is very difficult to go from one brand to another if you like the predecessor. Glad to know your choice. 🙂
Nexus 6 is having a huge display and might be difficult to fit in pocket. Though I will go for oneplus 2
Hi Rohan,
As per the usability, you are right, even I don`t like to use 6 inch display devices as they are very huge to fit into pocket. Glad to know your opinion. It depends on person to person! 🙂
