Disclosure

Even though they’re rather blurry, a couple of leaked photos give us some great clues as to the possible look of the Oneus 2. 

oneArena has a picture that shows each side of the device, which will get a virtual reality launch on ly 27.  The front design feels like a mashup of a Oneus One Nexus 6. The back shows some kind of wood paneling, with a vertical bar for the camera lens what looks to be a fingerprint sensor.

The back of the Oneus 2 may have an -style vertical button design with a fingerprint scanner.

The interface is close to stock Android, which keeps with the underlying aesthetic behind the company’s Oxygen OS. On the hardware front Oneus pledges that its fingerprint sensor will perform unlocking other tasks faster than the ione’s Touch ID. That’s a lofty promise that will be worth testing should we get our hs on a device.

The story behind the story: The Oneus 2 definitely shows some promise. If Oneus learned from some of the many issues that plagued its first phone, we could have a real contender on our hs. Even though we have about a month before the virtual reality launch, we should hear more from Oneus—the company plans to reveal one feature at a time leading up to launch.
