Unfortunately, No! To be very simple, those who love listening to music, Zenfone 2 is definitely the phone for you. It has amazing audio quality, expandable storage, fast battery charging. The UI may not be as intuitive and clean looking as CyanogenMod but it is definitely more stable. ZenFone 2 does not heat up like OnePlus One, thanks to super efficient Intel Atom chip and we will take dual SIM card slots and microSD card slots any given day. Those who love CyanogenMod OS, who love video recording (slomo, higher resolution videos) should go with Oneplus One. But do note that the phone heats up spectacularly 10 -15 minutes into recording a 720p video.
