Help Note 4 to One Plus Two?

[Armeen F]

Hello, i am brand new to Android forums, I have a Note 4 with att and my plan was to sell it and buy a one plus 2 two, but after watching MKBHD most recent video
(

) the camera doesn't look that great. On the other hand I'm not wanting to buy the one plus two for its camera. I have had the note 2 upgraded to the note 4 and i am still extremely unhappy with touchwizz. I wanted to come to a forum and see what other people think about upgrading from a note 4 to a one plus two.

Thank you

I didn't even know there were pre released units out yet. I'll watch the video when I get home.
The Oneplus One camera is very acceptable anyway (for a point n shooter like me) but I realise the oneplus 2 will be running a different OS (oxygen, developed by some of the Paranoid Android team) does the video mention the OS at all or just the camera (which could be improved in future updates) ....

The other option is to root the Note and stick a non-touchwiz rom on it. I'd do some reading before trying this though, since (a) it's important to know what you are doing and what the pitfalls are, and (b) what the drawbacks of non-Samsung ROMs on that device are, and hence whether your original plan wouldn't be better for you anyway.

And of course you may just not be comfortable hacking the phone in the first place - no shame in that.

Yup pleny good roms for the note 2 (Validus for example or plain old cyanogen like the Oneplus One)
You'll lose your stylus but I doubt the OP2 will have one anyway.
But if you're after more "oomph" the op2 is rumoured to have 4gb RAM and will have at least 3gb

AT&T Note 4 has an encrypted bootloader and can't be rooted, unless there's an exploit I'm not aware of. I'm in the predicament wanting to upgrade my Note 4... and the Note 5 is turning into a total waste of time for Samsung. And I doubt the OnePlus Two will come to Verizon.

I'm looking at a op2 because the note 5 looks pretty much comparable for £350 less! I have the note 4 at the mo.
