I made a video on this very question:

The answer is no, in my opinion. The Osmo Mobile 1 is better (which is probably why it still costs more).
Here are the differences:
The Osmo Mobile 2 is a different color and has a slightly reshaped handle (and is LESS ergonomic).
The Osmo Mobile 2 is lighter (made of all plastic, instead of metal components like the original Osmo Mobile).
The battery is now up to 15 hours, about 300% more, BUT the battery is no longer changable, once it’s drained it’s drained, you’ll have to stop whatever you’re doing and recharge it for 2 hours.
A 1/4x20 tripod mount has been added to the bottom
The rosette mount has been eliminated so you will not be able to use ANY of the Osmo Accessories except the tripod (and vehicle mount, if your feeling brave). A new base is being released for this too, but that is it for your accessories. Want to add an external microphone, light, or anything else? Your out of luck. Tripod and base, that’s it.
The trigger has been eliminated and replaced with an awkward button, which used to be the shutter button.
The buttons have all been changed, the power switch is now a digital zoom control and has been moved to the other side, the record button is now the power button AND the record button AND the shutter button, and the shutter button is now the trigger.
You can now shoot in portrait mode
Stores more compact.
