Mediocre. It's possible to get some good shots but that's possible with any camera.
It's gorgeous. Takes really fast and clear pics.
I think it uses the same Sony sensor that's in the Nexus 6 but I don't think the OnePlus One has optical image stabilization.
I am sorry, this is not the case. The camera is the most disappointing thing about the phone. Sluggish to take a shot. Sluggish to focus and very fuzzy pics. You have to hold the camera very steady to take a focused picture. So disappointed, the phone is great otherwise.
I think there's something wrong with your camera then. Mine has been great every time. Even those times where I think I'm going to get a blurry pic, it comes out clear.
For reference, I upgraded to the OnePlus from a Galaxy S3.
Just chiming in that the 44S update has been super solid for me since I updated at the weekend. No issues yet, touch wood. 38R was absolutely horrific, my phone would crash or reboot itself sometimes multiple times a day, along with screen flickering and other nasty issues.
Thanks for that. I came from an iPhone 4S which for me was a quicker pick me up a take-a- great -shot with no effort phone. The 5, 5s and 6 take much much better shots IMO. Saves raw image so that's a plus.

A fair point.
Yeah the camera is slow. It can get good shots but they're the exception rather than the rule.

The default camera software isn't great, but the sensor is. Use a different app like FV-5. Night and day difference.
Really? I quite liked the easy-to-use presets. And will something like FV-5 have RAW image support?

No RAW, but lossless .png's. The default app's RAW implementation is buggy, by the way. Sometimes it won't save the file.
I bought the app on your suggestion. It is a major improvement.

Ridiculous how difficult they made this phone to get (comparatively). I'm also on Sprint too so no Oneplus One for me :3

Invite thread is here.
They're a small company. The system makes sense given they're only selling what they have in stock.
Really enjoying mine and haven't had any issues. Not sure about the default lock screen though.

Oppo is a small company now?

You are in OnePlus One thread not OPPO.
i heard OPO is like a subsidiary of OPPO or something like that
anyway i want to ask you guys something, when i bought the phone i asked the shop to root it for me, i even got the superuser app and stuff so i know it was rooted, but then i updated my phone to 44S and so it's back to unrooted
my question is, do i need to unlock the bootloader and stuff to root it again? i don't wanna wipe my phone

Yes.
The bootloader is probably already unlocked.
Do you have a custom recovery? If so, just flash a super user zip.
i'm using cyanogenmod now, i bought the chinese version which was on colorOS and told the shop to change it into cwm and root it as well
pretty sure when he did that he unlocked the bootloader as well, which is why i'm asking

Posted this in the invite thread but I figured this one might get more traffic. Added my name to the list but I'm curious as to whether or not this phone can be activated on Straight Talk. I checked the forums and got mixed responses. I'm in Alabama, if that helps in any way. It's a much more affordable and neat phone than what's available on the ST store so I'm hoping there won't be any problems. Thanks in advance!
Looks like Straight Talk GSM network piggybacks ATT or T-Mobile's networks, so you should be good.

If you don't have an invite, One Plus is opening pre orders again on the phone in 9 hours, however only for one hour barring setbacks.

phone broke in three weeks
doesn't recognize any sims at all
spent two months fighting for a refund, and have finally got it, if I send it back to China.
The OnePlus One is a Oppo Find 7...
PlusOne was started and financed by Oppo, so yes this is in fact a Oppo thread!
Ugh. That is not reassuring. I better shop around some more.
This is becoming frustrating because I'm determined to buy a phone off contract and I felt like the OPO would be a good way to save money. The reviews seem skewed because of the price, and I feel like the nitpicky problems would be a problem for me in the long term if they didn't get resolved.
I better sleep on this some more.

It's a great phone. I've had mine for a few months now. Preorders are opening up again today http://preorder.oneplus.net/
My biggest peeve is a bit nit picky, but did OPO resolve the weird delay after hitting the home button?

I don't notice any issues with that so I guess yes?
i've never even heard of this
Looong time ago. CM crew updates the phone very regularly.

Pre-ordered. That video made me feel a lot better about the phone. Hope it works out for me!

I wasn't interested in this phone but lately its been really tempting me. That charcoal 64gb version looks sexy as hell, and I'm not sure I want to re-up on another 2 year contract come march. How's the Android L rollout looking on this one?
Seems like it'll be coming with the official cyanogenmod release. They apparently said it'll be within 90 days of the release of Android L. But I'm not too sure, just ordered the phone myself.

Nice. I do like Cyanogen mod, but I did have some issues such as bluetooth streaming stuttering and skipping/ microphone/speakerphone volume. I'm not sure if that's specific to the HTC builds or if its an issue across all builds of it though
