Oneplus one has officiall android m for cyaogen os and oxygen should give us official m to but thats the last official updates, but the rom development is really active so were going to get unofficial android n builds no doubt, and the oneplus 2, not so much because i heard the fingerprint scanner doesnt work on custom roms, and oxygen os is trash, but thats my opinion lol
[ONE General] albsat:
So I guess, one+1 has done its work? No need to buy it new? I am so tempted..

im having difficulty on otg.

but all in all this is a great phone
[ONE General] reds28heem:
I'm loving this phone, I brought the 64gb model off some lady on CL, and man. best $100 I think i have ever spent. before that I had the Galaxy S5. I see no reason to upgrade. At least for me. I have plenty of space, runs games at ease, haven't run into one game that gave me a problem.
[ONE General] Vintage144:
I love my 1+1 but im moving to Nexus now
[ONE General] Hellscythe:
To put it into perspective, the galaxy s5 costed a bit more than 200 dollars to construct, material-wise.
[ONE General] hello00:
and yet it feels cheap as hell
[ONE General] FuMMoD:
Survives falls like a beast and can survive underwater too. What are you comparing it to that's also water proof? The Z1 has great build quality too.
[ONE General] Hellscythe:
It may feel cheap but it certainly is a hell of a lot more durable than a metal finish which is prone to scratches and denting. Metal also flexes less which means the internals will take a larger impact when the device is dropped.

That glass back on the Z1 though ): Although I have dropped my Z from like 1.5m 4 or 5 times and it survived.
[ONE General] adibeckett:
This video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=recQYaSVLkk believes that subsidized manufacturing (from oppo), non traditional marketing, helps makes this phone so cheap.
[ONE General] Unidave199:
So Close....

Sigh.... No removable battery? The back comes off which is great and I can live without external storage but come on! The phone will only be as good as your battery which lasts about a year...... WE CAN DO BETTER!!!

Ok... I feel better now....
[ONE General] The Jack of Clubs:
its probably not that big of a deal. the nexus battery is not removable, but its not hard to remove and replace. if it was like the htc one which will cause you to break components to replace it, then you should consider it a deal breaker. it looks like the battery wont be that hard to replace if it is necessary. i understand the allure of a user replaceable battery given that youll loose anywhere from 15-30% of your battery capacity after a year, depending on your battery practices.
[ONE General] tpcrackpipe:
Awesome hardware, amazing price, annoyingly and ridiculously hard to obtain one.
[ONE General] paarkhi:
+1 ;)
[ONE General] Mickwa76:
There is no expandable storage. A negative for me. We also need a One plus Phablet. With expendable storage. It isn't a flagship killer yet.

---------- Post added at 12:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:02 PM ----------

Amazing price. But unfortunately here in Switzerland the price will be probably hiked to about 600 - 700 bucks.
[ONE General] petiha1:
I always wonder what people who find 64GB not enough store on their phone... I mean.. Music? Spotify. Movies? Netflix/Showbox. Games? More than 64GB?! Files? Cloud storage.

Why is 64gb not enough? :D
[ONE General] hello00:
there are more iphone users than s5, n5, m8 users all combined..do u think they whine about the lack of sd slot on their phones? i dont think so
[ONE General] nebsif:
Im still undecided if I want to get it, I mean note3 is almost the same size, has removable battery, AMOLED and mSD.. but on the other hand OPO is damn smexy and so cheapp. Up until now I never considered getting a phablet for real. Pretty happy with my Carbon rom GS3 overall the only thing that bothers me is crappy AOSP cam and the asymmetric chin :)

Hope they'll produce more 64gb versions than 16gb, ~10gb user space on a 5.5 device is just ridiculous (cloud storage is not a valid option here).
[ONE General] Ace42:
Cloud storage is not a preferred method of accessing files for all. Especially since we are all not all on an unlimited plan, then there are privacy concerns. Also don't forget that since you're steaming the media file you're wasting additional battery life whether you're using LTE/HSPA or WiFi.

[ONE General] petiha1:
Well true, but then again you're wasting battery life by having a phone and using it. :)
[ONE General] stevemiddie:

+1 no need for expendable storage on a phone used for Facebook and instagram. :)
[ONE General] The Jack of Clubs:
you can expand storage over otg.
[ONE General] Ace42:
Very funny, but I am referring to additional wakelocks that would be present. More frequent charging equals faster battery wear, which isn't desired when a battery is built in...

[ONE General] petiha1:
If you're talking about wakelocks, I'm pretty sure you'll be well able to swap out that "built-in battery". ;)
[ONE General] Edtothewords:
well...

I'm beyond curious at this point. I have it in my head that 64gb storage, 13mp camera, 5.5 inch screen, powerful processor, and 3gb of ram for $350 are the best deal possible but I feel like there has to be a catch somewhere... like build quality or perhaps the battery is no where near decent.I have to wait for some tests before I throw my money at these people.
[ONE General] petiha1:
The catch could be that there is no half eaten apple logo on the back, or that they didn't spend millions/billions on advertising, thus lower costs.
[ONE General] Edtothewords:
I never thought of it that way
[ONE General] petiha1:
Just think about the fact that the manufacturing of the S5 costs about $250 dollars (or less) right now.. Clearly, OnePlus are making no profit in the short run... But startup companies never do anyway. It's about the long run, and as someone mentioned in the forum, getting brand recognition.
[ONE General] hello00:
they think that by selling their phones at a lower price, it will attract a lot of costumers ..imagine..we are now seeing a lot of ppl smashing their s5 ,n5, iphones and m8
[ONE General] Hellscythe:
Nope because you can't complain about not having something that you have never been exposed to.
[ONE General] brizey:
Intriguing, but I'd rather spend an extra few hundred bucks and get a better phone. $300 difference is just not worth the compromise.

No one makes a perfect phone. But this is missing too many things. Organic led screen. Wireless charging (a deal killer for me). Removable battery. External sdcard (though this is mitigated by the 64 GB).

An incremental update to the processor is all this thing has over my mdk Verizon s4. I'm thinking about jumping to T-Mobile, but this thing ain't gonna be the thing that makes me do it.
[ONE General] Hellscythe:
What do you mean by organic LED screen?
[ONE General] challenger78:
I think he means AMOLED like in Samsung phones
[ONE General] NardVa:
The phone is cheap but to keep the price low they took out small features like external SD and wireless charging. Also there is no money being put into TV Ads and marketing. If you look at the OS it's stock android with a few tweaks. There's not going to be a bunch of bells and whistles like HTC Sense and Samsung Touchwiz. Outside of the cost to design and manufacture the phone, there is very little money being spent elsewhere.
[ONE General] The Jack of Clubs:
They never too out the SD card because they never had it. Just like none of the Nexus's ever had it. If you just have to have wireless charging or heartbeat sensor or whatever, get a different phone and go away. I'm getting sick of people complaining.
[ONE General] humandroid:
It's more than just another phone

OK, no metallic feel, no SD-card, no changeable battery. But this is a top-notch smartphone at 269 euro, so who cares!

And it's not just the phone. It is also the marketing, which is innovative, funny and aggressive, all at the same time. This is without precedent. It will attract worldwide attention, whether you hate it or you love it.

Seeing that this new creation comes from a country formerly best known for copying stuff and infringing intellectual property I'd say something definitly has changed here.

Let's first wait and see if this phone actually exists and what real users report. But my bet is that OnePlus One is the beginning of something new.

My prediction: The next Steve Jobs is called Pete Lau and he's from China.
[ONE General] luminouche:
LoL, best joke of the month.
[ONE General] Child's Play:
its nice but it doesnt have a sd card slot
[ONE General] kirdroid:
Nothing new about people complaining about lack of SD card and removable battery.

We have 64gb model so no SD card is not a big deal.
[ONE General] Child's Play:
don't roll ur eyes at me
[ONE General] gezundheit:
doesn't need sd card slot

for only $50 more you can get 64gb. That's the one I'd buy. no sd card needed. Plus the company slogan is never settle. The more we clamor for more storage, the more they will build into it in the future.

My jaw dropped when I saw the specs initially, but even more so when they compared the boot time with the nexus 5. This thing is screaming fast.
[ONE General] force70:
Clev what up dude?

Lets see if we can talk ax into getting one too lol...I bugged hom to get the note 3 and he did hahahaha.

You gona develop for this? Im also considering getting one...so cheap hard to resist.

[ONE General] Child's Play:
Sd card 64 gb costs around $40
[ONE General] petiha1:
Is an SD card as reliable and fast as built in storage? :)
[ONE General] BoneXDA:
Of course not, but it's still cheaper storage than most of those companies ask for a 64GB option. However, OnePlus is the king here, the 64GB version is ridiculously well priced and anyone with large storage need should go for it.

I hope 1+1 is a game changer, cause God knows we need the extra storage with the FHD/4k/console level content of nowadays.
[ONE General] Child's Play:
it has a CM rom which is awesome
[ONE General] wudien:
on paper this thing looks amazing. however, i have a few concerns.

1. screen contrast/color quality. the screen is usually where corners get cut to make it so cheaply

2. cyanogen being a for-profit company.

3. ???

im eagerly awaiting HC reviews. (via anandtech.com)
[ONE General] The Jack of Clubs:
It's a jdi screen, basically meaning it's by Sony, Toshiba, and Hitachi. So I wouldn't worry about the quality of that
[ONE General] FuMMoD:
1. The screen is jdi It's not a cheap lcd like LG screwed us with

2. You're on XDA. why else would you be on here if not to flash roms and modify your phone? Don't like cm? Then wipe it off your phone and replace it with another rom. That's what most of us are doing instead of complaining about cm. We just don't use it.

3.????

4.Profit.....from saving hundreds
[ONE General] mbcl:
depending on early reviews i'll be buying it.

What I really don't like about it, is all the fuzz about invites to be able to buy it

[ONE General] LiquidSolstice:
One of the things I'm excited about is the choice of button control. I love the idea of hardware keys, even though I've got a Nexus5. Allow me to explain.

Normally, hardware keys translate into additional bezel and that understandably annoys people.

But on this phone, you get the impression that the bezel is there because of the size of the battery and the dimensions of the phone, and they decided that rather than letting it go to waste, they might as well add capacitive buttons. I'm not terribly happy with the default mapping (as I like having the Back button on the left), but it looks like one of the things you can do (which I've never been able to do with an Android phone before) is remap the cap buttons how I want them, and then shut off the backlight in the settings.

The reason this is unique is because on this phone, due to the type of display and the type of lighting used to light up the keys, if you turn off the backlight, the keys are completely invisible. Not "sort of still see it", not "there are still decals to show where the buttons are", just invisible. Completely pitch black. Don't show at all, even if you press them.

That means I get the full advantage of that 5.5" screen and I have the three main software buttons right underneath but they are cleanly hidden away and never show themselves.

Perhaps it seems silly, but I love the way my Nexus 5 looks in Immersive mode because of how much more screen space is opened up by the lack of the nav bar. On that device, I had to resort to PIE or swiping up or OmniSwitch to get access to my buttons, but on this device, I won't have to make that compromise.

Just two cents :)
[ONE General] galaxie500fb:
For $150.00 more than the subsidized cost of a bloat filled note 3 you can purchase outright a 64gb phone that should stand head and shoulders with the best of them. I'll happily sell my LG g pro if this phone turns out to be as good as some of the reviews claim.
[ONE General] TiltedAz:
Glad to see there's finally a OnePlus One forum.

I'm personally looking forward to it. Hoping to learn more as it comes out. Seems like an anomaly; a custom ROM sold by carriers?

Is it too much to ask for undetectable tethering, disabling advertisements, etc... .:laugh:
[ONE General] Entropy512:
The price delta between the 16 and 64 is mostly sensible... considering that in single quantities, a 32GB MicroSD is $20.

While eMMC is significantly faster, if purchased in volume it likely does NOT have anywhere close to a $50 price delta to purchase 64GB vs. 16GB.

$50 price delta for 64 vs 16 is reasonable. The $299 base price is unrealistically low. They can't secure factory priority at that price compared to the Find 7a. (Made in the same factory by the same company, likely from a shared supply chain.)
[ONE General] maxver0:
Also keep that in mind it has the best eMMC avaliable out there from Toshiba.

It's not Asian companies grasshopper. For me it's Chinese cyber and technological espionage. If your work and life is mundane you've got nothing to worry about.

What difference does it make anyway? Is your decision so easily swayed that you need to get approval from everyone online?
[ONE General] maxver0:
Yes they are. Sony is Japan, Samsung and LG is korean which means they're all asian. No I don't need any approval from anybody :p I have my own mind and opinion and I don't fear to share it and discuss about something.

I don't care about technological espionage because I don't have anything to hide. If you are so worried about technological espionage I would recommend you to stop using cellphones and internet - no offense. Also it looks like American NSA uses technological espionage way wider and way more than some chinese guys you're scared of.

Getting back on topic...

Rather than the PR-backed memes (eg. 'FLAGSHIP KILLER') the only flags I see are red. The PR moves by this 'new startup' are questionable (as is the fact they are even a 'new startup' ). The gushing clickbait machines well-fed, invitation list, the smashphone concept, the Never Settle meme (ala Just Do It) all smell bad. It sounds like they're bracing for its flop rather than its smash success. A trial balloon. A Red one. Why not just spring for a Find 7 now? Is it the extra marketing gimmicks of 1+1 holding you back? All of it is very curious.

Too many buzz kills the buzz...
[ONE General] NinoDolce1:
OPO made an official statement on their forum and their production schedule is as follows:

-Ready now - 100 for phone smashers

-Mid to late May - Larger batch 16GB Silk White for the first batch of invites

-Early June - Larger batch 64GB Sandstone Black

-Later in June - Increased general availability, people who want it should be able to get an invite without much trouble in June.

The characteristics of this device have brought a lot of attention and the way they have jumped in to the market has caused a lot of negative reactions.
[ONE General] Krusade:
gone are the days when phones mattered than thier manufacturers did.. what difference does it make if its Oneplus One or Oppo One? it seems like a good phone, tat matters, atleast to me
[ONE General] Daps:
I'm interested. It has a lot of features I'd like to have like always listening or the gestures,, plus it looks to have great specs.

The only problem is it looks like it'll be late June maybe July before I could get one.

The new MotoX,LG3, Note4,Nexus6 and iphone6 will be out or a few months from being out.

I want to see how people like the +1 after maybe a month. It would be hard for me to value the reviews from the people in the Smash contest. If I broke my $650+ phone for a $300 phone I would probably say anything to justify my new toy. Hopefully some of the more known youtube reviewers can get one and review.

Another thing will be accessories. I'm not a fan of the back covers they have.

Technically though the phone should be sound as it looks like quality items will be used in it but I do remember all the hype from startup company and a tablet years ago called the ADAM and how that played out.

I don't see how they can produce these phones at the price they are selling them even more so by producing them in such small quantities.

I'm sure it's been mentioned but does it come with Google Services stuff already loaded?

I do hope we're about to start seeing more and more affordable off contract phones.

Why does there have to be a conspiracy? If Oneplus and Oppo company or whatever actually sells a phone with these specs at $300-350 bucks and such device has positive review I will try to get an invitation if I don't have to beg and it's actually possible. This is another company trying to make money, like Apple, Samsung, HTC, LG, etc. we don't have to be too sentimental. I didn't like the "smash your phone" gimmick I didn't participate, if they make it too hard to get the phone i'll buy another one. I did like how they changed the Smash the past promo since now people can donate the device instead of destroying it. I'm following this product cause I like what they are offering at this price. Not sure why there is a feeling that Oneplus and this launch is some kind of evil plan or something.
[ONE General] LiquidSolstice:
It's a toxic combination of some pretty serious jealousy (that they didn't get picked for the 100) paired with an inordinate amount of impatience (it starts to ship in just a few days but no one wants to wait), and that fire is heartily stoked with, let's be honest, a crap ton of hype from OPO.

It's turning mature adults into bickering, delusional, and paranoid children. I just wish it would come out already, not so much because I want one, but because then people would grow up.

The OPO forums are full of braindead IQ-dropping posts from people who can't contain themselves, so I'd advise you stay away from it.
[ONE General] NinoDolce1:
You are absolutely right. Too much hype from OPO to get all the attention on their launch and they got it, Fanboyism, bitter hate and impatience. I'm tired of all this too but it won't end soon since first there will be the invitations madness and then the purchase and then the complains... :eek:

I tend to agree...launch the phone and have devices ready available for the masses shortly thereafter.

I understand that OnePlus wanted to generate hype. And hype they did create. However, for many on the OnePlus forums, hype has completely turned into pure anxiety. People begging without humility for a phone THAT HASN'T EVEN BEEN RELEASED YET. God. OnePlus took it too far. They could've easily backordered all interested people, ramped up production based on the number of people who signed up, and given an approximation for when the phone will be shipped, rather than aimlessly begging for invites, without any confirmation or concrete information about the phone's release. It's a shame I'm on prepaid; if I was on a contract phone, and I could get a subsidized HTC One M8 for $100 less than the OPO, I would've simply brushed this phone off.

All I'm reading is "blah blah blah, this phone's not released yet! I'd rather buy another phone that's 2x more expensive." Go ahead. Nobody's stopping you.

They're just trying to justify their bad buys. "I bought an S5 and paid twice as much for a product with the same specs because I'm better than you". Samsung fanboys are becoming worse than Apple ones. If you don't like this phone then good. At least appreciate what it's trying to do to the smartphone market. It's just like how the Nexus line got started.
