I don't hardly see any of these 'bugs'. My bluetooth works flawless, my data is *usually* fine up to the point I go from LTE towers to H+, is sometimes flakey (not sure how software handles that transition gracefully, as it's a stopgap measure until VoLTE arrives), and I've never had GPS issues..I use Waze for 3 hours a day (GPS) with no issues. I listen to music over headphones for hours every day, and only a phone call/message left interrupts playback (it IS a phone, after all). Battery life is great, all day plus evening, so I just don't see the showstopping, day-to-day problems you see. That's okay though..it is why there are a ton of phones to choose from...find one that fits your needs best.
[Nexus 5 General] blinqipa:
If never replace my Nexus 5 for a Chinese (?) Phone like one plus one. Never, ever, I'd rather buy another phone...
[Nexus 5 General] FuMMoD:
Then only buy Samsung products because everything else is made and manufactured in China.
[Nexus 5 General] AppleInc:
I heard that Huawei is going to make the next nexus whaha
[Nexus 5 General] FuMMoD:
I'd trust his sources since Apple is the king of Chinese products.
[Nexus 5 General] AppleInc:
Haha
[Nexus 5 General] hello00:
everything is made in china..even your own underwears

OnePlus One Review: http://youtu.be/Jucredt5IWY
[Nexus 5 General] md1008:
My only complaint with n5 is the battery and not a complaint per se but I wish it was bigger. I understand for most people 5 inches is the sweet spot but I say make a phone with the same specs with a bigger battery. Even if the resolution suffers slightly with the size so be it. After upgrading to the m8 and with the incredible battery life the n5 seems rather pathetic

---------- Post added at 02:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:12 AM ----------

To answer question I might consider the 1+1 when it's been out a while so I can gage development as well as any potential bugs. Now that I have the m8 I doubt I would ever get the 1+1 maybe 1+2 if the 1+1 holds up to be a great phone

---------- Post added at 02:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:14 AM ----------

LG is also not Chinese :)
[Nexus 5 General] FuMMoD:
Neither is Sony but they got factories in China lol.
[Nexus 5 General] bblzd:
I think the majority of N5's were manufacturer in Korea though. Hence the K in the serial numbers.

Not that it really matters. The country of origin doesn't determine the build quality or attention to detail.
[Nexus 5 General] rayiskon:
So basically, you'll be able to get your hands on one when it won't be the hottest thing on the market anymore :laugh:
[Nexus 5 General] toxicpaulution:
It did for the galaxy s4 line. The phones produced in China were breaking the screens in the pocket. None were reported to be broken in the Korea line up. Along with the other issues.
[Nexus 5 General] FuMMoD:
Yeah Samsung has awesome quality overall when producing in Korea. LG is good quality too when it comes out of their Korean factories not the Chinese ones. A lot of people don't like LG cause their Nexus 5 came with issues and that's perfectly fine.
[Nexus 5 General] meangreenie:
does the microphone work?
[Nexus 5 General] sewer56lol:
It sounds like a good tradeoff if it will be publicly available.

If it's possible selling off my N5 for a decent price and buying it doesn't sound like a bad idea, if it's like a £10-20 upgrade then it's worth it.
[Nexus 5 General] sn0warmy:
It looks like a very promising phone for a great price. Especially with that camera. :cyclops: However, I haven't read anything that indicates that the phone will have wireless charging functionality. This is one of my favorite features of the Nexus 5/Nexus 7. I have a wireless charger at home, at work, and one in the car. I plan on continuing to utilize the convenience of wireless charging so I'll be sticking with the Nexus 5.

Unless, of course, I discover that the Oneplus One has wireless charging. Then I might be enticed to go for it.
[Nexus 5 General] LiquidSolstice:
Not with a 5.5 inch screen, it won't. Better, sure, but not fixed.
[Nexus 5 General] chaco81:
if i was in the market for a phone, absolutely!!!

but since i got my N5 2 months ago, i have no reason to upgrade...

yes, it has better camera, batt life and more storage... but its also bigger... i think N5 is at the borderline...
[Nexus 5 General] DigitalUnderground:
The phone chassis is beautiful. The HW specs are sexy with 5.5" screen, 3gb ram, etc...

The reasons I wouldn't want it are:

-Capacitive keys... Gross. That's what a Nav bar is for. I don't need extra buttons in the bezel.

-CM11s is the OS. Not impressed. CM has fallen off since they went corporate in my opinion. I see people reporting bugs constantly in cm threads... Even the nexus thread which should be easiest to develop for. I left cm for slim because slim has passed cm on stability and functionality.

N5 will do until the S6 GPE comes out lol
[Nexus 5 General] mistahseller:
I will definitely consider one when I see screen protectors and TPU cases made for it.
[Nexus 5 General] anshmiester78900:
CM is buggy ??? Dude seriously I'm using the latest M5 build and I can tell you its one of the smoothest roms + I haven't faced any FC or bug's on it , they may be present in the nightly builds but not on the monthly builds!
[Nexus 5 General] adibeckett:
Since I don't have a Nexus 5 yet, I'm seriously considering the OnePlus. I just found out about it today! :eek:

Wondering about the updates though, I've never used any roms so if say there is a KitKat 4+ update, how long would it take for the OnePlus to get it?

Apparently you need an invite to buy the phone?
[Nexus 5 General] LiquidSolstice:
Just a note, there are people who prefer hardware buttons because it means they get more screen space without resorting to things like PIE or Immersive Mode.

On this phone, you can choose whether you want on-screen or off screen buttons. The extra bezel is probably needed to house that massive battery and other components, they probably figured that they might as well use that space for something rather than nothing.

Also, although I can't stand CM for multiple reasons, on this phone, it's going to work flawlessly, because rather than supporting custom devices, all of the hardware was handpicked and the version of CM it runs was specifically built for that hardware. It'll be just like running a stock Sense ROM on an HTC device.
[Nexus 5 General] adibeckett:
One the OnePlus forum, "general availability" was mentioned to be July/August, yikes :eek:

I may even get the Nexus 5 by that time!
[Nexus 5 General] Hero_Guy:
Maybe. I'm going to Vegas so if I win some extra cash I might. Only thing I'm worried about is how they'll do their warranty. Googles RMA process is quick,easy, and painless with their advanced replacement.
[Nexus 5 General] jmo742:
I'm definitely interested in getting this phone, but it'll be hard for me to decide between this and the next Nexus phone. If the screen was 5" instead of 5.5, it would be perfect. And I can understand others who question cyanogenmod as the OS, but like someone before me mentioned, cyanogenmod on this phone will or should be smooth as butter because that's its main OS. I knew it was a matter of time before someone took a page from the Nexus brand in terms of high specs at a reasonable price. 64GB at only $349? You can't beat that
[Nexus 5 General] rayiskon:
how about 128GB for $349?? :eek:
[Nexus 5 General] jmo742:
Lol, I wish. But if missed it, I missed it. But last time I checked, it was $299 for the 16GB and $349 for the 64GB. I could be wrong though
[Nexus 5 General] :
Honestly, I've been waiting for this phone to be announced, but I feel like I COULD wait until general availability... I love the feel and the form factor of the Nexus 5. It's so light and thin, still more so than the OPO. The version of CM11S on the OPO is probably much more fun than the stock on this phone. Plus... Wireless charging is honestly one of the biggest things I will miss.

With CM11, I hate the "extra" apps they have on there, like voice dialer. seriously, who needs voice dialer in todays age? We have Google Now for that. I need to see how this layout on this phone is set up.

Otherwise, I am excited - This is like getting the Moto X "Always Listening" on a Nexus version of the Note 3. Yeah, I went there.
[Nexus 5 General] movielover76:
We'll see

Battery life is fine on my N5, though the battery life for this phone looks even more promising.

We'll see how the it holds up against fall phones, particularly the next nexus device. I won't be switching phones until then.

I can't afford swapping phones every 4 -6 months like I used to lol. I've got a fiance and a wedding to pay for.
[Nexus 5 General] danaconda1:
While I understand your reasoning, I hate today's technology as far as voice dialing goes. Both Siri and Google Now screw up voice dialing so often it's mind boggling! I speak very clearly and English is my native (only) language and both of these services screw up something as simple as voice dialing, which my Moto Razor got correct back in... 2005?

Granted, I've never used CM on any of my phones so I don't know what they use for voice dialing, but if it's smart enough to know that if I'm using a Bluetooth headset, skip trying to process my requests through the internet and just go straight to voice dial! This is the thing I find most annoying. Back when I had an iPhone I would disable Siri so it would go back to simple voice dial (back when Siri first debuted and was terrible).
[Nexus 5 General] jaronstrypsteen:
I might condider it. If I have the money for it at its lauch
[Nexus 5 General] jbdan:
I'm disappointed by its dimensions (way too large/tall). Other than that its one helluva good looking great spec'd phone. Will now await the G3 and/or N6 for my next phone. Meanwhile, my N5 keeps bringing me the smiles :D

Nexus5
[Nexus 5 General] jv.batista:
5.5'' is too big for me and i just bought an N5 like 3 weeks ago...

if it was 5'...
[Nexus 5 General] 666fff:
Runs cyanobug. Pass.
[Nexus 5 General] jelle2503:
Anyone buying this is directly supporting CM and I don't think that is wise considering what they have done.

If only this thing would come with stock AOSP :)
[Nexus 5 General] jv.batista:
if it runs CM you can run AOSP, just like if it runs AOSP it can run CM...

or omni...

those 3gb of ram and the 801 are tempting...
[Nexus 5 General] DigitalUnderground:
Yeah I had the S3 and S4 and when running ROMs with Nav bars, the cap keys drove me nuts... OCD type

Yeah I guess you're prolly right about that.
[Nexus 5 General] gd6noob:
I think I will wait for Project Ara to come out..
[Nexus 5 General] szucsgf:
I used to have a Galaxy Note. Then I had the Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 4, and Nexus 5. I've always thought my Nexuses were better in every way except I missed the big screen. Now the OnePlus One, compared to the Nexus 5, has a bigger screen, bigger battery, faster CPU, more RAM, more storage, better camera, and it's cheaper? If this phone attracts a reasonable amount of development it's seriously tempting. However if it's true that general availability is late summer then it's not a competitor to the Nexus 5 but to the Nexus 6. And that's a whole different question.

In any case, I'm very happy to see the availability of inexpensive, quality devices.
[Nexus 5 General] UVB76:
I would totally buy it if I didn't already have a Nexus 5. Why replace what works perfectly fine?
[Nexus 5 General] adriangb:
If I get an invite before July AND can sell off my N5, I'm for it. Otherwise, I'll wait for the N6.

---------- Post added at 05:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:51 PM ----------

Isn't pixel count more important for battery life than size?
[Nexus 5 General] DummyPLUG:
I won't buy it in anyway, consider it is a new company and its first phone, on spec it is good, but if it is reliable and how long will this phone get software update is still unknown. For N5 it is much clear on these questions.
[Nexus 5 General] :
According to all the articles I've read, they're guaranteeing updates for at least two years.
[Nexus 5 General] galaxys:
Interesting. But but not enough to leave the Nexus5! Maybe a Nexus6 some day....
[Nexus 5 General] FuMMoD:
Have you bothered checking their website? It states CM will guarantee updates for a MINIMUM of 2 years after launch.

If anyone gets an invite please toss me one my way. I'll be selling my Nexus 5 for one. If I don't like CM I'll just flash something else. I want the device for the hardware not the rom. That's why I'm here on xda so I can change my phone to what I want. I'll probably build Beanstalk on it and stay with that.
[Nexus 5 General] IRX120:
I'd buy it if Google made it
[Nexus 5 General] sn0warmy:
CM's Bluetooth STILL doesn't work properly for many people, including myself, with either of my two cars and home theater system. Various other ROMs have no issue with this. Fanboys say CM isn't buggy but the fact is it still has rather large bugs that are deal breakers for many. And this holds true on every single monthly release and any nightlies I've tried.

Now, with all that said I imagine the OnePlus One will have a flawless CM system on it (including Bluetooth). The CM team has really lacked on progression/development with the Nexus 5 and other devices in order to focus on their new company and development for the OnePlus One. So if this new phone isn't working flawlessly I will be very surprised. Regardless, the phone looks to be excellent and you'll be able to throw any ROM you want on it so the fact that it comes with CM stock should be a moot point anyway.

I normally hate capacitive buttons. But I don't mind the ones on the OnePlus One since they don't light up. You'd never know they were there until you need to use them. And more screen real estate is always welcome.

If it only had wireless charging functionality I'd be all over it. But since it appears that it doesn't, I'll be staying away.
[Nexus 5 General] FuMMoD:
Lmfao Google has never manufacturered it's Nexus devices. Wow.... Just wow.
[Nexus 5 General] IRX120:
I ment if it was a nexus device I'd buy it
[Nexus 5 General] hello00:
u have the option to choose between capacitive button and on screen
[Nexus 5 General] FuMMoD:
Please go to their website and actually read up on the phone before passing judgement. The cool thing about their bezel is it allows you to either choose on screen buttons or capacitive buttons. You choose and enable what you as the consumer want. That in itself is a really cool feature. I prefer capacitive buttons (Samsung fanboy lol).
[Nexus 5 General] sn0warmy:
:confused: What are you guys talking about? I said I liked the capacitive buttons on the OnePlus. I'm aware you can disable them for the on screen nav bar but in my post I also mentioned that having the extra screen real estate was welcomed. Did you even read what I wrote?
[Nexus 5 General] GUGUITOMTG4:
That animal should be on the top of the list for anyone who wants a huge phone (R.I.P hazardously expensive Note 3)

But that is the category where it belongs. Phablet
[Nexus 5 General] LiquidSolstice:
It's not just me, they're definitely using a custom font for the software, aren't they? It certainly doesn't look like Roboto to me, it looks closer to Segoe...
[Nexus 5 General] Jonathanlc2005:
would have considered it but no CDMA
[Nexus 5 General] OMGWTFBBQchicken:
I like my Nexus 5. It's got some issues but i still like it :)
[Nexus 5 General] hello00:
Uh what? u clearly said u hate capacitive buttons and now u are trying to justify it?
[Nexus 5 General] sbrown23:
Yeah, let me go beg OnePlus for an invitation to give them my money. What a load of crap. Definitely sticking with N5
[Nexus 5 General] FuMMoD:
Yeah I hate the invitation part as well. They're going to open up sales to everyone in July though.
[Nexus 5 General] sn0warmy:
Maybe I should have been more clear. The thing I never liked about the capacitive buttons on the Galaxy S3 was that they lit up when using them. Capacitive buttons that are invisible win out over on screen nav bar buttons in my book. This is essentially what I said in sentence 2 of the part of my post that you bolded in red.
[Nexus 5 General] Gipjoe:
Here is my thoughts. I will Wait. The reason for this is that I don't trust this "One plus". Now I am not a fan boy of the nexus line (yes I am) , but I have no reason to trust them. If the phone was made at this budget, corners MUST have been cut. Just like the issues with the Nexus speaker, and Camera to some degree. However, I will still consider selling my nexus and buying the "one plus one" after about 1 - 2 mouths of wide spread use by others. But we will still be on to the next "Big thing" at that point in time, and the Nexus 6 or what ever will be announced. I want to love this phone, but I am still paranoid (and subsequently an Android) about a phone made on a super budget.
[Nexus 5 General] rayiskon:
Your problem is that you are used to overpriced smartphones, well at least that's what OEMs wanted us to get used to, and obviously succeeded. The OnePlus One can only be bought online, so you're avoiding additional costs that you pay to stores, carriers etc.. In addition, OnePlus' goal since day 1 was to prove that companies can make a smartphone with no compromise and still keep a low price tag.

To me, they are a group of tech enthusiasts (just like you, me and the rest of the guys on this forum) , they're fed up with OEM crap. either bloatware, hardware compromises, lack of updates, silly high prices (i'm in a EU country, and the Note 3 is ~1000$ here- unsubsidized)... and they decided to do something about it.

I'm satisfied with my nexus 5, and i don't have a need to "upgrade", but if i were in the market for a phone, trust me i would get the OnePlus One before any samsung or htc overpriced piece of crap. (although i'm no fan of >5" screens)
[Nexus 5 General] Gipjoe:
You definitely have some strong points. However I don't really think its exclusively OEM's fault's. I think the reason for the high price of smart phones lie's with carriers pricing unlocked off contracted so high it pretty much forces consumers to be on a contract, OEM's saw that people valued there phones so high that they continued to stick to that price model.

I don't see them a tech enthusiasts, since there are some compromise's and enthusiast to me means absolutely no compromises. I see them as underdogs with something to prove. I am not discrediting them, I just want to see some solid proof before I invest. 350 bones is still a chunk of change.

Also CM IMO is kinda bad, I would rather AOSP built. Never had good luck with CM. It screwed up my S1 back in the day, worked okay on my S2x, and is pretty much worse in every way then AOSP on my Nexus 5 (hate CAF)
[Nexus 5 General] Evo_Shift:
It isn't a big enough upgrade in the areas I care about and I'm on sprint so no. I do like it though and the price is great.

As far as CM it will probably be the most stable cm has ever been considering they have direct access to all the hardware specs and everything. I would imagine not having to hack a ROM together for a phone makes a big difference.
[Nexus 5 General] Akoolive:
It ain't Ralph(nexus) thou!!
[Nexus 5 General] mnicesio:
I'm an actual nexus 4 user and like you I'm sick and tired on spending money on overpriced phones from such companies like Apple, HTC or Samsung. That's why I spent 240€ in my the nexus 4, unfortunately it has a crappy camera but it suits my daily needs. I didn't bought the Nexus 5 because the specs are not impressive, but I'm going to wait till October or November and decide which phone I'll take. The OnePlus has amazing specs and the size is no problem to me. Since I've waited till today, I'll wait a little longer. Let the best smartphone (N6 or OnePlus) decide where my money goes!
[Nexus 5 General] frazbox:
Anybody who knows business, marketing is the biggest factor in price. From what I've read, OnePlus wants to use word of mouth to get the word out about their device
[Nexus 5 General] bblzd:
Better question is, will you even be able to buy one if you wanted to? By invitation only means even professional reviewers might not get their hands on one and lack of good reviews.
[Nexus 5 General] rayiskon:
actually i don't see any compromises, build quality seems great (expect OPPO quality standards), big battery, top notch display technology, snap 801, 3GB RAM, great front and rear cameras (samples available on gsmarena), 64GB storage option available... hell they even put bluetooth 4.1 . The only thing missing is wireless charging (probably because of the swappable back plate, other color options/wood/kevlar coming later on)

as for CM i agree, i'm not a big fan either, although CM on OEM (non nexus) phones are ports, and bugs are there due to lack of driver binaries and other closed source components. usually you'll find problems with camera and USB tethering, among others of course..but i think CM will be polished on this device as it runs natively on it, also it will be a stable version not a nightly.

Not a lot of people know that AOSP has a lot of bugs, starting from bluetooth and on... and some of them have been there for years and Google has acknowledged them, and there's still no fix... it took Google eternity to improve input (touch) latency, and we're still lacking in that field compared to iOS for example. Believe me it's not all that great in the AOSP world either.

my previous phone prior to N5 was the nexus 4, the main reason i upgraded to N5 was the camera, i take a lot of pictures (something i just like doing) and i'm not carrying a dedicated camera with me all the time. Also i hated the speaker placement on the N4, i would miss a lot of notifications because i wouldn't hear it. My unit also suffered from the delayed notifications over WiFi (the snap S4 Pro bug), i was also not happy with the fragility of the back glass plate (i do a lot of mountain biking and hiking, and i can't live in constant fear that it might break! :D )

i'm completely satisfied with my nexus 5, but i don't fool myself that it is the PERFECT phone, corners have been cut, and that's a fact :)
[Nexus 5 General] Gipjoe:
Hmmm. Might be changing my mind a bit. Still I am going to wait for the reviews an production "Kinks" to be worked out but, yeah can't really think of anything missing from the spec list. Now that you bring it up, I think that I'm just paranoid at the price. Something just seems fishy. Maybe it just that the phone is kinda ugly?

Plus AOSP does have some bugs, but I find it a better alternative to CM. Not really sure why some one would build a original for a phone based of CyanogenMod. Doing that seems like more work than just porting over AOSP with pretty much no positive. I really don't like CM that much. IDk, The only thing that I know is that I don't know anything. :eek:
[Nexus 5 General] FuMMoD:
They're running on an extremely low profit margin and they're not advertising at all. The company will barely profit which is why. The price is so low. You can find through searches that it cost under 200 to make an iPhone. The rest is pure profit into Apples pockets so you can understand it a bit better. Just wait for reviews. I have really high expectations of their quality since they're going to be made with the quality of an oppo.
[Nexus 5 General] moldovanos:
Its got NFC, so maybe a swappable back would work for wireless charging. I do want this phone. I also want N6 and I do want a bigger iphone. So I might just buy all of them and sell later whatever I dont like. All of these devices hold price at least for a month after they have been released. So even if u buy One Plus and dont like it, sell it within a week and make profit.
[Nexus 5 General] Gipjoe:
See that's the issue. Any respectable company knows its product is worth large margins over what it costs. However OnePlus is respectable (yet) since the don't have anything released, so they are either trying to prove something and gain a place in the market, after which they can raise their profit margins OR they are not confident about their product an feel a low price will absolve it of it's sins be it low build quality production errors, software bugs ect.Time will tell.
