The lucky user of the advance unit of OnePlus 2 is Marques Brownlee.

One of the captured images he tweeted with a resolution of 4,160 × 3,120 pixels. This means the rear-facing camera has 13 MP, says Phone Arena.

OnePlus has confirmed many of the key features one by one. The standout configurations include a fingerprint scanner, a battery unit with bigger capacity and a killer 4 GB of RAM.
