OnePlus 2 Design

The OnePlus 2’s aluminum-magnesium alloy frame and jewelry-grade stainless steel accents encase a vibrant, full HD 5.5-inch IPS LCD In-Cell display. This year they ditched the plastic and went for a premium design, and it shows.

They've added what looks like a Samsung physical home button on the bottom front, but this is a capacitive touch key similar to the regular buttons on Samsung devices, and not an actual button that moves. It is however, the home buttom, and houses an extremely fast fingerprint scanner.

Around back is a removable back that can be swapped out for multiple different backs. The Sandstone looks the best in my opinion, but wood, Kevlar and other options are available for under $25.

OnePlus added an LED notification light for easy managing incoming notifications, and to the left edge is even a brand new "Alert Slider" button we thought would silent the device, but doesn't. It sets what level of alerts and notifications you'd like to come in, and one of the 3-point stops is full silent mode. It takes Apple's silent switch a step further, and integrates with Android 5.1 Lollipop's do-not-disturb settings.

Overall the design is rather impressive. They've managed to fit a big 5.5-inch screen into a small package with thin bezels, making it smaller than last years model, which had the same size screen. Thoughts?
