[ONE General] Fr3lncr:
I came from a Nexus 5 which I had from December until September. I sold it in preparation of the Nexus 6 but when it finally got announced, the price killed it for me (and the reviews definitely didn't help either).

I liked the Nexus 5 a lot (much, much better than the Nexus 4) but what kept me from using it as my daily driver was the really bad battery life. I also didn't like that the screen was hard to read in sunlight (something which is more of an issue in the summertime and not as much now). And I guess I wasn't crazy about the signal reception (it is after all a 'phone'). I didn't mind the camera as much as people seemed to hate it (but then again, my primary phone is a BB Z30 and BB's aren't known for having good cameras so I guess anything might be better than that).

Anyways, after getting rid of the Nexus 5 and finding out about the Nexus 6, I decided to try a Sony Z3 which lasted less than a week. Despite addressing the screen issue (really bright and easy to see outside), and I guess the battery (which was better than the Nexus 5 but not noticeably better for some reason), I really didn't like the feel of the phone in my hand (just wasn't comfortable) and I didn't like Sony's skin and adaptation of certain Android apps (like the native email app).

There really wasn't any other phone to try except the OPO.

I tried a Samsung S5 and just hated the feel of the phone (cheap, plastic-y) and I despise touchwiz.

The Moto X 2014 didn't have enough storage space (I need 64GB or a microSD slot) and the battery life wasn't great (nor is the screen bright enough from what I read).

The HTC M8 is simply too old to buy now since a new one will be out in a few months (plus the screen isn't really any brighter than the Nexus 5).

So, like I said, nothing really else to try (Nexus 6 is way overpriced for what you are getting, especially in Canada).

The OPO felt much better in the hand the the Z3 (though this is personal preference) and for almost two weeks I owned it, it had great battery life (I could get three days before charging which is three times longer than the Nexus 5) so it addressed my main gripe with the Nexus 5.

I may not have gotten a better camera, and the screen I don't think is any better than the Nexus 5 (for sure it isn't brighter and I think probably worse with regards to viewing angles) but any phone is a compromise unfortunately.

In the end, I ended up selling it as I got an offer I couldn't refuse but I think I'll try it again after Christmas if nothing else gets announced before then (and if I can swing another invite though I had no trouble with the first one).

I came from the mighty galaxy s2. Bought the device on the third day from the launch in India. I waited for 6 months for s2 to launch in India. Same story for my even mightier oneplus one. Waited 6 months and bought on one third day. Didn't regret buying any of my 2 devices.

BTW sent from mightier OnePlus one
[ONE General] ajeetone:
Hi, I am using MOTO G from 10 months and no problem except camera..So i inally order ONEPLUS one :I
[ONE General] Daniel DS:
Upgraded from a Nexus 4 because the OPO has at least x2.5 the battery life I had with the nexus and also because I got an invite. The nexus 4 is an amazing phone that doesn't skip a beat on performance but the battery life was awful.
[ONE General] viny2cool:
I know note is totally different series but as you want to switch from note 2, I think you will like it. Of course you will miss the s pen and Samsung features, but if you need good battery, nice screen and good performing phones for cheap then you should try it.
[ONE General] SagyR:
I came to the OnePlus One from Samsung Galaxy S4 [i9500]

The 2 major reason for me to get the OnePlus One were:

1. Very small community of Dev for the i9500, Due i must say that since Day 1 i had Omega Rom on it and it run fast and smooth (Thanks to Indie !)

2. No LTE ... the i9500 didn't had LTE and it pissed me off...

So I gave my Mom my old S4 (upgraded her from Galaxy S2) and got my self the Oneplus One.
[ONE General] ArmorD:
I came from Note 2 too. Have had this phone for couple of days now and I can say its worth the upgrade. The display is so much better and so is everything performance related. Go for it and sell your Note.
[ONE General] SamBG:
I came from the Nexus 5, not that N5 was bad or sumthin, its still one of my favourite. Basically i lost my phone and wanted sumthin cheap with similar performance. I have to say OPO is up to the mark. It even outperforms the N5 in many departments
[ONE General] zekurosu:
i came from LG G2... got Oneplus One for 2 days now ... cant be happier at the moment
[ONE General] sunilsairam:
Coming from a rooted HTC One X...
[ONE General] DaveT5M:
I'm coming from a Canadian Galaxy S2 ( T-989D ). awesome phone, great dev communities ( got this phone on canadian release day 3 years ago ).

switch to OPO, was hesitating with LG G3 and S5. Was looking more for a 5.1" size phone, but the G3 make it in my mind as max size I would be ok to deal with so OPO joined the "why not list" what made it a deal was the price. This way I don't need to renew any contract !

Galaxy S3 (i9300)

I was using a Galaxy S3 (i9300). It was an excellent phone, but its 1GB RAM could somehow not handle all the apps i started using. Touchwiz ROMs had RAM issues and CM/AOSP ROMs were fast but battery and small niggles always made me jump between ROMs. Boeffla Kernel with ArchiDroid, QS KK and Blekota Note4 were all excellent choices but i somehow was done with all these.

Still miss the AMOLED display, though.
[ONE General] Nicoillo:
I came from LG Google Nexus 4, awesome smartphone! I bought Oneplus One basically for 3 reason:

1-dispaly size, in my opinion bigger is better (but Nexus 6 costs too mutch)

2-battery life, 1+1 has an amazing battery life compared to nexus 4.

3-relatively cheap.
[ONE General] Super_Commando:
Can you please elaborate why oneplus is better than g2. I'm considering g2 as an option to oneplus.
[ONE General] b1czu:
I came from i9505 Galaxy S4. I bought OPO because someone sent me an invite and I had only 24hours to use it :) OPO (CM11S) feels a lot faster than S4 (CM11 nightlies). Batery life also seems to be much better. GPS seems to be as good as S4's. Unfortunately I miss AMOLED colors (and real black) a lot. In addition vibrations are not as silent and powerfull as S4's. Also I miss microSD card slot. And now I don't know which one to keep and which one sell!
[ONE General] zekurosu:
specs wise are one notch better than G2.. plus the openness of the source since its OS is supplied by CM ... u cant go wrong with this device :good:

thats not even mentioning the price :D
[ONE General] fix-this!:
Had my oneplus for 3 weeks. Laggy phone. It went swimmimg this week so i ended up with a lg g2. I can say it runs lollipop much better and smoother though. Will look imto the next oneplus when its announced.
[ONE General] mad_hat:
I jumped from the S2 to the S4 Mini (I9192) which is a dual sim phone and now sold off that to get the OnePlus.Very satisfied regarding specs, performance, battery life. Only point is I feel the OPO's camera doesn't seem to be that good.
[ONE General] inadequate:
Xperia X10.

My beloved X10 (my first smartphone) died after many painful months of gasping through whatever I did on it. :(

But buying this was sort of an on the spot thing. I somehow got an invite from OnePlus and nobody seemed to want it. I had initially wanted to go for the Note 4, but why waste an invite? :D
[ONE General] satyarlenka:
I am replacing my Moto G 2nd generation which I purchased this September with the OPO. It's not viable to actually multitask with limited 1GB of ram and also my Moto G2 is laggy while running large games and it has poor battery life. Looking forward to the OPO, hope it's got what I am looking for.
[ONE General] jcicora:
I'm coming from the Nexus 4. My stalwart friend took a nose dive off a desk and the screen cracked, killing the digitizer.

It was a very sad day for me...
[ONE General] ace2k8:
Left my nexus 5 for the larger screen. I loved my nexus 5 hated the camera tho.
[ONE General] pjgowtham:
From xperia z to one.. Bought my one this week

Reasons :

Poor audio quality

Poor screen - TFT

poor holding comfort

No developer ROMs- cm .here one has good dev support
[ONE General] laska300:
from Moto G 2013 - reason - great premium phone for 300$ -
[ONE General] wazka2:
I came from Nexus 5.

I am amazed with the biuld quality and unboxing experience. Beautiful screen compared to N5, battery life is awesome, finally if i forget to plug in for a night its not a problem.

Bit disapointed with camera, touchscreen issues (fast typing and sometimes when I start scrolling it take it as a tap) slight yellow tint on the bottom and quality of vibration feels very cheap and rattling.

Waiting for lollipop.
[ONE General] Lukiqq:
Came here from G2 Mini, why?

Low RAM memory, 1GB?!

Low storage memory, 8GB...

Overall low performance

Weak community support

And finally because it's MINI ^^
[ONE General] counterfeit187:
If I can ever get an invite I'll be coming from Galaxy s3, going to stop giving sprint all of my money, and getting straight talk with an at&t sim
[ONE General] myzoneajay:
Will jump to OnePlus 3, as the one would work for me for atleast 2 years..
[ONE General] Life Engineer:
I'm coming from a note 3!

I dunno how wise is it to do so! Will be loosing ton of features, Spen etc...

Hopefully it's the right choice!
[ONE General] SteveTheIndian:
I came from a nexus 4. No particular problems with my nexus, I was simply on the hunt for an upgrade.

I did look to wait for the note 4 and nexus 6, but that invite got me with the 24 hour limitation.

Even considered a HTC M8 google play edition, because its a great all round phone, but it doesn't scream out loud (apart from the boom sound speakers, which I'm not fussy about)
[ONE General] cashisback:
Came from HTC one M8. Just wanted a change.

I really liked the M8 but I really like to change phones all the time. Sold my HTC and saved some money too. Better now than in a few months.
[ONE General] wickity:
M7.. Same as most...got the invite.. Plus camera on the M7 got frustratingly horrible

Sent from my A0001
[ONE General] ixdinfinity:
Came from Galaxy s2 with a cracked screen. Couldn't be more happy with my 1+1 cause of all the lovley ROMs and what the community brings for the phone.
[ONE General] force70:
Thats a downgrade IMO.

sent from Canada via my Note 4, 3 or 2.
[ONE General] Life Engineer:
Well I'm hoping it's not although, as i already said, i am constantly thinking about this decision! If it wasn't for the spen and its software features I wouldn't have thought about it...
[ONE General] gsmyth:
Sure it will be good to ditch touchwiz and the Samsung bloat! You'll be free to enjoy the endless customisation, mods, tweaks and roms all without having to give warranty a second thought, or that Knox nonsense!
[ONE General] onthecouchagain:
I came from a Nexus 5 and so far have no regrets. Except for losing wireless charging, the OPO is leagues better than the Nexus 5 in nearly every regard.

I purchased it during the no-invite-needed Christmas special that was happening last week. Such classy packaging too.

And Cyonogen + Google Launcher is great. It feels like stock Android "Plus" -- just a few extra simple features that make the user experience a little easier, better, and more fun to use.

So far, so good, at an amazing price.
[ONE General] bfg37:
Planning to upgrade from Huawei Honor 2.

HH2 is powerful phone, quad core, 2GB ram... but software support is dead. I'm not going for another phone with custom CPU/GPU. You never know when it's going to "die".
[ONE General] enaybee:
Coming from N5 as main phone (with many as backup phones). Just needed an upgrade in terms of specs and size etc. Was planning to get N6 but new price tag is not pocket friendly.

So far I am happy. Things I like about OPO are speakers, screen size and beefed up internals as compared to N5. Thing I miss is OIS in N5. Other than that so far so good.

I came from an iPhone 5, after having other iPhones. This is my first android device and I couldn't be more satisfied.
[ONE General] ninjosh97:
I'm coming from a Nexus 4... The screen is scratched up, chrome bezel is worn off, it gets INCREDIBLY HOT, camera is scratched, battery is... worse than my $10 Moto E from WalMart -_-

Looking forward to that 5-8 hours of SOT. :D

Getting it Christmas Day.

I saw the OPO early this year, and just didn't give it a second look. I was dead set on the Nexus 6... until I saw that $649 price tag. I was considering getting a Moto X(2014) at that point, but then I ran across this again. Which is basically better than the Moto X in every manner... and it's cheaper. It's like the cheap Nexus of 2014 we never had.
[ONE General] ionuutzuu:
From LG L9. Why? U don't want to know, rlly :D
[ONE General] amd-dude:
I came from the LG G3, got fed up of waiting for a bootloader unlock, yes I know there is a work around though, but I'm sure LG would lock it right back with Lollipop. I want to do whatever I want with the phone that I paid MY MONEY for. G3 was definitely nice, especially with regards to the camera and the form factor. The phone I always wanted was the oneplus but I settled for the G3 since I could not get an invite. I basically traded the phone straight up lol, made a monetary loss but oh a sweet sweet geek gain.
[ONE General] feed3:
From mi3.. Because xiaomi is.. Well.. Tired of waiting for them to release source..
[ONE General] skrypj:
Just got my OPO and it will be replacing my N5. Reasons? Nothing is wrong with my N5, but I like the bigger screen, hardware buttons, and potential for always listening on the OPO.
[ONE General] pr0orz1337:
I'm coming from a Nexus 4, the main reason is that it was an 8GB storage device without SD card slot and i need more space. Now I got an OPO with 64GB.

Once a day an offer was presented to me. My Nexus 4 + 150€, and I could switch my N4 to an OPO 64 GB (3GB RAM) or a LG G3 16GB (2GB RAM). Did I make the right move? :confused:

I'm currently writing from my Nexus 4, my OPO order still pending shipment. honestly, I still love my 16G Nexus 4. it had survived toilet drop, which affected the mic. So I had to use Bluetooth ear buds with Mic. if that incident didn't happen, I wouldn't ordered the OPO. I was hesitated between MotoX 2014 with $140 off and OPO, but OPO support's more 4G bands in my home country (bands 3, 38, 40). MotoX don't support any of these bands. however, I think I will miss some of the MotoX features. but I'm really excited for OPO spec's. it has been three days since my order in OPO birthday and still pending. dose anyone knows ho long this will take to ship??

Moved from Nexus 4 to OPO. Was waiting for Nexus 6 and has OPO as a backup purchase. Gladly i got this phone. Off the bad battery in this phone is 3 times better then Nexus 4 with custom ROMs and Kernels. Really like the phone overall.

[ONE General] evronetwork:
I had an HTC Desire HD when 2 core phones were out I bought that because it costed me 325 euros(at the time).. best price from a singapore seller.

It worked great with it's 2.3.5 version later on to 2.3.7 and thx to XDA with 4.0, 4.2.2 and finally 4.4.4, still works but if you have 15+ apps as me sometimes it gets laggy, trying to answer a phone call and the response comes 5-10 seconds later or never! (this isn't always the case but happens and makes you hate the phone).

Still do go from 2.3.x to a 4.4.4 is an achievement but I was pissed most of the time using it, the 32GB MicroSD card 95mb/s ready/write didn't help much as the phone was slow on it's own. So when an invite presented itself I grab the opportunity and jump to the train, this phone sure has some issues but it's way better than my old DHD. I'm now waiting for the official CM12s so I can have a bit faster phone for no extra cost

P.S. No I'm not good testing roms, I mean that's what I did with DHD, I've probably tested at least 50 different roms in it's life, I'm just rooted with stock rom and updating either with OTA or manually keeps all the things in it's place, no need to have a bunch of backups 1 or 2 are enough

Before this I've been using HTC Sensation almost one and a half year before it broke down. I jump in to WP with Nokia Lumia 1320 before switching over Samsung Galaxy S3. Sold it and buy new Moto G 2014. Not in one month using Moto G 2014, I trade in my Moto G 2014 to OnePlus One after decide between LG G3, Sony XPERIA Z2. Hands down! The best smartphone I ever had!

I'm coming from the galaxy s3. I've had it for a few years, and really liked it, but I'm ready for something new. I think that the plus one would be a terrific change of pace, because it is still android based, and but it is a great model. I've heard lots of good things about it, although the cases are not that numerous. But I guess that's a good thing- because it makes making choices easier, huh?

[ONE General] bronyDrake:
Previous Device Samsung Galaxy SL I9003 So i don't need to explain "why". because it was a big step which i take.

The Reasons why I choose Oneplus:-

* Rooting is supported by company

* Rare to get (So we will not get bored to see the device in others hand. The Trend will stay for a long time)

* Price compared to specs (Its first time I'm buying a top end device in current market Dec-2014 India)

* Separate forum for a single device and lot of active users https://forums.oneplus.net/

* CyanogenMod as stock

* Being developed in XDA (I changed my mind for buying some devices as it was not supported here)

My Impression after one month of use :- Perfect. I'm really happy with this device. Highly recommended.

Hit Thanks if i helped you..

I have M7 and just received OPO, it's not as large as many feared. I do love M7 but what I hated the most is the camera, especially mine is defective with that crazy purple/pink hue when shooting indoors (even with bright lights). I still have it and probably keep it as a backup. I replaced camera module with three different ones I bought from freaby, all worst than my original. During that 20+ opening and closing, destroyed volume control.

anyway, absolutely love OPO. I do have small hands but the placement of volume and power button makes it possible to operate, somewhat with single hand. You'll love it.

Would like to get N6 or HTC M8 (I'm HTC fan, love their build quality), but the price really hold me back.

OPO 's specs, price killz them all, a real FLAGSHIP KILLERS..
[ONE General] Renosh:
Came from the LG G2, its a great phone but I love stock Android which I enjoyed on my Nexus 5 but sold to get a G2. Custom ROMs worked well on it but there was always the fright of black lines developing on a bad flash so stuck to LG's stock skin that I absolutely hated.

The OPO is a gorgeous phone with a beautiful screen, tons of storage, good cameras and it's fast SD801 will serve me well. Couldn't be happier with my purchase, I'm running it stock CM11 44s and don't feel the need to root, don't have any issues like reported on this forum.
