I may get this instead of Nexus 6. Its got high end specs at a real cheap price right? Would you recommend it?
Totally i honestly cant fault it, especially when the phone is half the price of any other phone in its league.
I love that i can often get two days out the phone before i need to charge it. Even if i have used the phone a lot (couple of hours navigation on Google Maps) I've have still not been able to drain the battery in a days use.
The 4K video recording is very nice too, i did think on a mobile phone that wouldn't be very good, however its crystal clear compared to 1080p video. You can screen grab a 4K video in VLC on your PC and get a 4mp photo that looks great when you print it off.
I was going to wait for the Nexus 6, however given the price im really glad i went for the One Plus. Sure the Nexus 6 is slightly better in some areas (the screen) however that doesn't make it any where near worth double the cost.
I also like that the One Plus run Cyanogenmod out the box, i've felt no need to flash a custom rom because of this.
I've seen a few reviews now of this oneplusone phone. Really decent price as well (In the UK). Doesn't it carry the same hardware as the Galaxy S5 for more or less half the price or something?
Yes the hardware is similar, however the One Plus is actually better than the S5 in several areas.
Both phones have the same processor (Snapdragon 801 Quad Core @ 2.5ghz), however the One Plus has 3gb of ram, where as the S5 only has 2gb of ram.
In addition the One Plus has a larger 3100 mAh battery, where as the S5 only has a 2800 mAh. Also if selfies are important to you the One Plus has a 5mp front facing camera where as the S5 only have a 2mp front facing camera. The S5 does have a 16mp camera on the back, where as the One Plus only has 13mp. To be honest though both phone take awesome photos and its very hard to tell the difference.
Essentially your getting a better spec phone for less than half the price of an S5. If you compare the 64gb One Plus to the iPhone 6 Plus 64gb, you could buy the One Plus twice and still have £180 left over.
To sum up in my opinion if you like a high end mobile phone i don't think anything currently on the market represents better value at the moment.
Got an invite? Apparently they are hard to come by.
I was waiting for the new Nexus to come out then seen the price.
As you are also in the UK, have a read of this:
Importing the One Plus One From China - LTE Bands & What You Need To Know
The International and Chinese One Plus both support the same GSM / LTE bands in the UK so you will have no problem what so ever importing the phone.
Just keep in mind that no matter if you get the International and Chinese One Plus you will only get 4g on Three or EE here in the UK, this is because neither version supports LTE band 20 which o2 and Vodafone use for 4g.
Tbh though even though i'm on Three and get 4g on my One Plus i disable it, 3g signal is much better at the moment i find.
