Install Android 8.0 Oreo on OnePlus 2

OnePlus 2 was launched by OnePlus in 2015. The 2 that was launched by OnePlus was only the second device to launch from a company which was relatively new to the smartphone industry and had been in limelight after the successful launch of its first smartphone, the OnePlus One. Talking about the OnePlus 2, the device was not as big a success as compared to the OnePlus One which the company had expected but the device was accepted fairly well in the market for the users that had been fans of the OnePlus One.

Now, OnePlus and its devices have been known for having all the things favorable for developers like an unlockable bootloader as well as the company’s claim of offering warranty even on an unlocked device. This made the people interested in the development of ROMs buy the OnePlus devices. This also grew the developer community for all the OnePlus devices.
