Pokdepinion: The OnePlus Two may be an extremely fast smartphone, but the price may be a little high. Some people might also find the size a little daunting to hold with their smaller hands. I believe this is where the OnePlus Mini steps in to satisfy this market. The weaker processor and lesser RAM is something I don’t like to see in “mini” phones though. They should follow Sony’s footsteps and make smaller smartphones with full sized hardware.
