Specs: OnePlus 2 Specifications
Conclusion: If you do not look at the price then the Sony Xperia Z3+ seems to be a decent device in comparison to the OnePlus Two in terms of the Display having better ppi on a smaller display along with the camera which is a trade Sony is always good in. The Xperia Z3+ with Android Lollipop 5.1 OS and the OnePlus 2 with lollipop 5.1 based Oxygen OS are left to the users to decide what they will prefer as I liked both. Both the devices are having similar processors but the OnePlus 2 comes with a better RAM at 4GB compared to the 3GB in Xperia Z3+. The Z3+ is Water Resistant which is an added advantage, the OnePlus Two has Fingerprint scanner which is absent in the Z3+.
Overall both the devices are more or less equally placed in terms of specifications but when it comes to pricing they are worlds apart and the OnePlus Two is the sure winner. If you have the money an no patience to wait for the invite then you can go for the Z3+
