GT-I9505 to opo 64 sandstone version (should arrive tomorrow)

reason: i got the invite obviously ;) also kinda fed up with the Samsung devices and kinks they have ( i prefer a solid implementation of fastboot to odin for one) also not a fan of knox flag.

so i will sell my s4 without knox and with unlocked bootloader soon along with all the accessories i have.

cheers

Galaxy S3. I just tend to get a new phone every 2 years and compared to my Nexus 7 (2013), the S3 is already pretty slow. Also, the display is a bit cracked (doesn't bother me while using, but still..)

I just hope that it isn't too big for me as manufacturers of girl pants give a **** about usable pockets.
[ONE General] rumsey:
Switching from Note 2. Will miss stylus, SD card, expandable battery... but overall the higher quality screen and extra gb of RAM should be worth it for the minimal upgrade cost (after Note sale).
[ONE General] Buster99:
well I just got mine. compared to the s4. it feels like a new generation of hardware. only rooted it so far no bootloader unlock. cm11s is ok for now. antutu after booting it up the first time looks very promising. faster than s5 and htc m8. liking it at lot. btw. s4 for sale :D

cheers

[ONE General] erm1001:
I am in the same boat. Got rid of a note 2. Miss the swappable battery, and sd card. I have not using the stylus that much.
[ONE General] Buster99:
[MENTION=2849163]postwarbreakout[/MENTION] the s4 has the same dimensions as your s3. here is my s4 next to the one so you get an idea about the dimensions

[ONE General] AZImmortal:
Would you mind doing a camera comparison between your S4 and the One in different types of lighting (indoor/outdoor/etc)? I have an S4 myself and my main concern is whether the camera is actually better on the One.
[ONE General] OuncE718:
Or check out the S5 vs OPO videos on YouTube when reviewers put the 2 phones up against each other.
[ONE General] AZImmortal:
Do you have any specific videos in mind? None of the comparison videos that I've seen so far actually compare OPO and S4/S5 photo samples.
[ONE General] Buster99:
i can take some photos later and post them here
[ONE General] OuncE718:
Around the 2:50 mark the reviewers compares the 2 camera's.

[ONE General] AZImmortal:
Awesome, thanks. I'm particularly interested in low light performance so if you could include some of those, then it'd be much appreciated.

I was hoping for a more in-depth comparison but thanks. It gives me a bit of an idea for what to expect.
[ONE General] OuncE718:
You're welcome. Check these 2 videos out.

http://youtu.be/vU8j8cDnNuk
[ONE General] AZImmortal:
Thanks, I've seen both of those videos along with others. I'm more interested in a direct comparison with an S4/S5 shooting the same subjects so that I can see how they compare.

from S3

I am jumping to One from a Galaxy S3 international, because I am a Pro user and my S3 is limiting the number of apps I am able to use, with One rams of 3GB I will be flying...
[ONE General] kaynpayn:
I'm on the same boat. Coming from an international GS3, got an invite, hoping for OPO to sort their stuff and actually send me the phone now (been waiting for over a week to even get it dispatched).

But i'll be honest, i was dead set i needed a new phone when i was hanging on samsung-based 4.3 roms because slow/multitasking issues were really getting annoying. Lately, i've decided it couldn't really get much worse so i changed for latest archi 2.5.1 CM based. Man, not regreting ordering the OPO but i've sure changed my mind about multitaking/general performance on the S3, it's like a brand new phone.

The 2 things i'm not a fan of with the OPO are that huge screen and all the good stuff archi implemented on his roms that won't be available on the OPO. His adblock ways are the best i've seen.
[ONE General] Buster99:
fdroid - adaway

no issues at all on any rom :)
[ONE General] Aegyo:
I sold my Note 3 thinking that I was going to buy a LG G3, decided not to get the G3. Bought a Z Ultra and just sold it today as I had received an invite this morning for this phone. Quick tip, don't ever buy a 6.4" phone unless you carry around a purse.
[ONE General] nikeman513:
Had a N5, switched because, OnePlus has the stock experience, 50% more RAM, Approx. 40GB more storage, faster CPU and GPU, and cost the same. Not to mention my 5 warranty exchanges with my N5 for shotty build quality...
[ONE General] jartukovic:
Got the invite for black 64gb version. Jumping from my 3 y old Galaxy S II on which allready i had to replace motherboard so i hope that this one will also endure 3 years. Top specs like SGS2 at that time. And of course CM :)
[ONE General] clevebb:
Left Sprint with the S3, of which I had no complaints. It was in order to prepare for the OPO by switching to a "SIM card" service. Now I just have to wait for an invite!! For now I'm running CM11 on a Galaxy Exhibit ( a bootleg version of S3 mini)
[ONE General] tenico:
My beloved S2 with a craked screen can get a long sleep , when the OPO arrive
[ONE General] muzhik:

[ONE General] GTCC:

[ONE General] Tehwafflez:
LG Optimus F3 SUPER cheap and trash phone compared to most of you here. Sadly I have to switch companies for service. I really liked Virgin Mobile's $35 plan. :\. I just wanted a super high spec phone for dirt cheap and that's why this phone drew me in :D.
[ONE General] p51d007:
old Note1

Galaxy Note 1, 4.1.2

IF this OPO is as good as the hype, but only if it is as good as my Note1, or I'll keep looking.

I've turned down: Note3, Nexus5, X1, X2, LG G2, N1 and several others as they didn't really

bring any "bang for the buck" considering the full price. I only buy off contract full price since

I use an MVNO and DO NOT want to get another device on contract. So far, the OPO is in

the running, but, I'm not in any hurry. My device works perfectly, is rock stable. Yeah, it's an

older version of Android, but, it works & does what I need. Lack of SD card isn't an issue for

me, given the Note has 16gb, and I have a 16gb card for a total of 32gb and I barely use 1/2 of

that.

I'm waiting til at least June before I make a decision.
[ONE General] Nathanael_Mtd:
From my Sony Xperia U, because... Xperia U = dual core 1Ghz - 512Mb RAM ... And price of OnePlus One phone is too low for good specifications !
[ONE General] Mouzey:
LG G2

I'm gonna be switching from my lg g2, I actually quite like the g2, however I feel thatlg doesn't quite do it for me, the updates are awkward and contain tacky skins/appsand the phone is soon to be replaced with the g3. Also as much as I like the look of the g2, I hate the build quality. The headphone jack broke because I put headphones in it. Finally, the community of one plus is amazing :)
[ONE General] rabbivj:
thats if they are readily available.
[ONE General] josue270193:
I hope to buy this phone soon enough, i would like to change my poor LG 4x HD

Coming from HTC One and Oppo N1.
[ONE General] Bairdog35:
I'm jumping from my HTC m7 :) so excited for this phone
[ONE General] sauprankul:
I'll be coming to the 1+2 (not 1+1) from my M7. I'm on a Sprint contract, and I want to switch to TMobile, so yeah. Also, I would stay away from a debut device (as a poor student). Generally speaking first gen devices have a few defects. Hopefully 1+2 will be a refinement and spec bump of te ONE, and not a complete overhaul.
[ONE General] The Jack of Clubs:
its like a nexus device with more power and more customization but at a lower price tag. who wouldnt be enticed by that?

i gotta get rid of this s4. it has a locked bootloader and can not run any custom roms. its like the phone has syphilis. i know its there, and its really ruining the relationship.
[ONE General] Vanhoud:
Nexus 5 here. Every spec is better
[ONE General] techfanatic9:
I will destroy my Galaxy S3 :laugh::victory::good::fingers-crossed:
[ONE General] wrsmega:
Going to upgrade from HTC One. I'm using the Sprint model on T-Mobile, so I can't get LTE and my signal drops constantly. Still a pretty nice phone though. Will miss the speakers and (almost) all metal design.
[ONE General] AngryDinosaur:
Note 2, half the price if I get the note 4 or even G3 .so this is a damn good deal
[ONE General] black-waltz:
Nokia E5...

Never really liked the idea of getting touch screen phone (slower to type & easier to make mistakes)

But with keyboard phones pretty much being extinct I have no choice left :)
[ONE General] nebsif:
whoahhh so pretty, dont smash it :)
[ONE General] klvnhng:
I'm thinking of upgrading from my nexus 4, but also debating whether or not to wait for the n6. What do you guys think?

Sent by carrier pigeon
[ONE General] pnut22r:
Honestly, you don't have much to lose either way. You know they're both cheap. Buy one, sell it if you want the other. Close in price I'd suspect.

Personally, I have the N5 and badly want the 1+1, but it might be just a little big, no?

People who have the Note (or equivalent) was it easy to assimilate to the bigger device?
[ONE General] jayb222:
I'll be coming from the nexus 5. Because it's better specs and better price. It's a no brainer!
[ONE General] Logic717:
Just ordered my one and I'm coming from an Optimus G pro. Love the phone just wished there was more dev support. Really looking forward to a lighter rom now though
[ONE General] Bl00dRunzC0ld:
I'll be leaving a beat up M8. Love it but wanted to try this out also.
[ONE General] the Doctor:
I sold my soul-less, AOSP puking Galaxy S4 to get the 1+1. I'm now starting to wonder if there is any good reason to keep my money tied up in my Nexus 5. The 1+1 is that good!
[ONE General] Buster99:
yes it's that good.

there is plenty of dev support. cm niggtlies. pa announced it ssupports oppo and opo in their stable channel. pac man rom. mahdi.

all the main ingredients for a tasty phone. and with pacman now getting its jenkins ready I'm happy. already running a dev build on my opo and it's a beast!

[ONE General] hostidz:
Switch with a twist

I ordered mine yesterday (sandstone) and I will be switching from a Nexus 4

After reading the devices you guys are switching from I do feel better :D

Looking forward to the 801 chip (comming from s4 pro I wonder if it is that of a difference) Though I am worried about the size. 5'5 is a lot. A LOT.

Having an old Nexus 7 to accompany the N4 I can now sell both and have 1 device instead :D yuhuu!

(crazy side note: a friend of a friend told me that his friend is giving away his invite, after finding out it was my friend too I asked him about the invite. Having an z2 he said it's yours, 64gb, there you go. I was like What ?! Lord thank you, Having a oneplus member number of 135000 and something I would receive an invite in 2020 :D ok maybe sooner. Now, I had 24h to order it, but I had no money at that particular time and I live in Slovakia (cannot be shipped to) .. oh man ..Complications. Long story short -> Billing address: ME, shipping addres: friend in austria, payment: another friend... lol)

...but i did it ! oh yeah ! :victory:
[ONE General] hunhool:
Switched from nexus5 but didn't sell it.

I love both device.
[ONE General] OmegaBlaze:
What made you keep it?
[ONE General] hunhool:
Nexus5 is a fantastic device and just want to keep it.
[ONE General] krazyq:
I've had my SGSIII for 2 years now on TouchWiz and was dying for an invite...until I figured out how to flash my phone and got it on CM 4.4.4 Nightlies and an extended battery and I started liking my phone again and then I wake up this morning and find out I got an invite...

I still bought it, had to.

I couldn't stand my phone because of the battery life and lag, but CM pretty much fixed that. And I got the Genuine extended battery so it didn't really add much bulk and it surprisingly really improved my battery life so it's like...perfect timing...hah

Well I was really into this phone 2 months ago, and lost interest but now I guess I had to buy it...

We'll see, I hope I can handle that screen size.
[ONE General] jmudrick:
Coming from Nexus 5, have had the OPO for two days. It rocks in every respect EXCEPT the camera. In situations where the Nexus 5 could use HDR + mode it simply eats the One for lunch, especially in low light. I expect the One to improve but there is no substitute for OIS which really helps the N5 in low light. On the other hand getting a full two hours more of screen time is fantastic. Where that leaves me I'm not sure they are both great phones.
[ONE General] Nooblit:
Jumping from my s4 m919. The only people making that device tolerable were Danvdh, Kryten2k35 & Ktoonsez. Once i fully jump ship i'm debating on whether i should keep it as a backup, or flash stock on it and sell it for about the same price i bought the one for.
[ONE General] Larac:
Switched from a HOX, I really won't miss the 2 1/2 screen on maximum or the lack of app space.
[ONE General] krucymucy:
Moto G. Why? Because it is much better than G.

Coming from a Nexus 4, hopefully going to be saying goodbye to laggy facebook scrolling for good!

[ONE General] RorixRebel:
Coming from a Moto X, great phone but to me the battery life was never impressive.... and i realized that with my pebble the active notifications were cool but didn't use them as much.
[ONE General] Domosham:
HTC M8 on VZW. Beautiful phone, unlocked with CM11 nightlies running. This phone is amazing, and I have no reason to leave it..

(The camera is probably it's only downside).

Reason to leave:

OPO Invite came through! I am ditching VZW going to ATT with a OPO. I plan on getting the next Nexus, and running it with my OPO.
[ONE General] ivan0909:
I've sell my Nexus 4 and buy a OPO because I has a big screen and 1080 resolution. Best camera (4K) and many other things. I think that I should upgrade my phone.
[ONE General] Parvinder25:
I was using Nexus 4 before i switched to One. Few reasons why i switched:

1) Was using nexus4 for around 2 years and wanted a change.

2) Living on 12gb user available space in nexus4 was real pita.

3) $350 for One with 4 times the storage space than my nexus4 and better specs in all respect turned out to be a genuine steal.

4) I have used CyanogenMod before and was excited to use it.

5) Better battery backup is one of the primary features that i look at while upgrading.

6) Crappy camera of nexus4.

Overall, i am very satisfied with my decision.
[ONE General] rpalmer92:
My HTC One died the other day, so I went down to my local Telstra (my Australian telco provider) store and to my surprise they called HTC who said they'd have a brand new replacement in for me in 2 days. I sold the new replacement HTC on eBay for $400ish and with that cash, plus me adding $60ish I was able to order a new International Oneplus One 64GB in black with a Mofi Flip Case and warranty with free express shipping via DHL from a vendor on Aliexpress :)

[ONE General] Mikeparakh:
I currently have a Nokia Lumia 1020 which is fantastic. The camera is unbelievable for a smart phone. However, I got an invite for the 64GB OnePlus, so have purchased one. Will have a play when it arrives and decide which I like and sell the other I guess.

I have a Nexus 7 Tablet and my previous phone was an Android. I changed to Windows Phone to have something different as I got a bit bored with IOS and Android.

Has anyone else switched from a Lumia 1020?
[ONE General] oscarandjo:
Upgrading from a S2, no one is supporting CyanogenMod for that anymore...
[ONE General] GTCC:
I have a Nokia 925, 1020 and a 1520 and while I think that android has its benefits I still prefer WP especially now with 8.1, just waiting for Cyan firmware.

The 1020 is a good phone but the battery wasn't great but did get better with 8.1 The camera on the opo isn't that good compared to even the Nokia 925 so it stands no chance against the 1020

The main thing I miss when using android is having all my information on the home screen plus ok Google isn't as good as Cortana. I don't have a problem with the opo recognising the ok Google command, it works the same as it does on my HTC M8

The main thing I don't like about the 1020 is the camera lump on the back, the opo is much nicer to hold in the hand. I don't have a problem using my 1520 so I find the opo easy to use one handed thanks to the sandstone back.
[ONE General] straylight23:
A while a go i decided to buy me an android phone to separate my private usage from the iPhone (I used the 3g,4 and 5s) i got from my company.

I liked the 3s of my wife very much but i did not want to spend that much and i bought a used S2 Plus (GT-I9105) and started to love the android system. I played around with custom ROMs, customized this and that and synced the device with my owncloud server. After seeing notes about the 1+1 here and there i just wanted to have it and yesterday I finally got my hands on it :D

This thing is absolutely stunning! I still have to get used to it's size though ;)
[ONE General] dev0lver:
i will gonna switch from 4xhd to oneplus one

as much as i like the phone, in the same amount i hate it

power button on the top right annoys me from day to day more and more, battery life is good, but when you use the phone on some intensive apps or games, battery just melts, tegra 3 is good but it's also only lg phone with it, so it was not getting that much of support from lg itself

since i am here on this forums, you already know, i unlocked it and that stretched the life of this phone, i use it for a year now, but with ability to buy oneplus, i don't see any reason to stay on it and not transfer to oneplus

i was looking on oneplus site and forums for more then 2 months, because of the price point and the specs, and also never thought that i will be lucky to get the invite and buy the phone itself

and 2 weeks ago, i got it from a forum member and ordered the phone, which is currently in germany, and i am waiting 16.08. to get it in my hands

and why i want oneplus ??

1- price and specs, absolute steal if you ask me

2- battery life, i can't stand wakelocks and drain sometimes on 4xhd, which sometimes hardly can go through day

3- bigger screen, as much as my 4.7" phone was big in the beginnings, now is small, i want something bigger

4- power button on the side and capacitive buttons - this options i welcome gratefully, because i don't want to stretch to the top for lock button, and i don't like onscreen buttons, i don't wanna cut of my screen

5- and the most important thing for me is, that it got official cm support which means that this phone was built for development, and to be open source for all who want freedom with his phone

hope it's not too long explanation :)
[ONE General] santzia:
I gave up my trusty Xperia Z ultra. I do miss the massive screen, it actually makes the 1+1 seem small :)

Had the phone for 2 days now trying to decide if I should keep it or go for the Xperia z2. But no I am keeping the 1+1. It's a far too cheap a phone for what you are getting. I love it.
[ONE General] Ixtilion:
From SGS3, mainly switching because my mother needs a new phone so I figured I could gift her my old one.

Oh, also top of the line specs with an unbeatable price (340€)? Yes please
[ONE General] treojoew:

[ONE General] teo74:
my beloved Note 2 went swimming and died.

a few days after an invite came my way... spectacular device and ridiculous price!
[ONE General] jcasares:
Coming from a Galaxy S4 (9505), I ended tired of the issues CM11 had with the device and also wanted to try something not Samsung (my first android was a Galaxy S2). They are overpriced and have some important flaws. Anyway, their hardware is mostly nice and I don't have issues with plastic phones if done well. It's their software I can't stand and their closeness to open source developers.

I will stay stock (CM11S) in this case but rooted of course. I want to see if I can stand not to fell on the nightly frenzy. I need the phone to be stable at this time so my priorities changed.

The hardware is OK for the price on the OPO but I have two issues I'm figuring out if it will end in me replacing the phone:

1. Touch screen: the problem reported all over the web.

2. Yellow tint: it's almost unnoticeable most of the time and I hope it goes away with use.

I also have problems adjusting to the position and size of the capacitive buttons but I believe in some time I will adapt.

What I like is:

1. Build: it's even better than the S4 that was supposed to be a flagship phone.

2. Buttons: I like they are small but responsive and easy to press. They add to phone design.

3. Software: I like CM11S. It's a stable CM11 and with some nice additions.

4. Speakers: it really has nice sound and not distorted by placement like the S4. I agree stereo won't add much with the closeness of the speakers.finally last a day of extensive use. Something I wasn't able with any of my previous phones.

5. Battery: seems like it will

6. Development activity: it is clear it has more attention and I hope it will have faster updates. We will see with Lollipop if that holds true. the 90 days they promised are already counting. This is the main issue I'm seeing with most brands but Google Nexus and lately new Motorola phones.

I'm impressed with the phone, albeit frustrated with the touch screen issues.

I switched from the Nexus 5 to the OnePlus One.

Reasons:

- low price

- 64gig storage (only 16 on my nexus 5 for pretty much the same price)

- bigger display (somehow still missed my old Galaxy Note after all the time i've had the nexus 5)

- (way) better batterylife. (2 days+ when doing easy)

- awesome charging cable (<- didnt everyone buy it for this reason? :silly:)

- knock-to-wake phone
