I may be reading this wrong but I think it may not be fully compatible with TMobile bands.

TMO, Jump on this shit, now!!

 

[Petrie]

Just when I'm finally getting a company phone and they're buying me an S4. All these years I've upgraded well behind the curve because screw these contracts and now things are finally getting good when I don't need it anymore. Fuck.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Dat price is right

 

[U2NUMB]

Certainly gonna keep my eye on it... any good videos of the UI? Maybe I am missing it in the OP but I did not see one.

 

[Bravocado]

If this thing launches successfully and turns out to be a legit contender at an insane price, I know what I'll be getting when my GS4 eventually kicks the bucket.

 

[DieH@rd]

Rafy, put this camera comparison link in OP, its much more informative than phonearena link

All the units have the stock interface right now, also just added 2 comparison videos in the OP(note 3,S5)
We hopefully see the new UI when they send the review units. These are not the final units!

Thanks, will do

EDIT: Added the Note 3 vs OnePlus One video and the better link for the camera comparison.

 

[DrFunk]

Yes, it's compatible with AT&T and Verizon. Also global LTE.

It's not compatible with Verizon, it has no CDMA radio

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Yes, it's compatible with AT&T and Verizon. Also global LTE.

Awesome. Also it runs the google play store right? Since it's built on android?

Wait really?

No nexus and no this?

 

[Chairhome]

I may be reading this wrong but I think it may not be fully compatible with TMobile bands.

TMO, Jump on this shit, now!!

I need confirmation on this... planning on getting this for my wife around Mother's day. :/

EDIT: It works on T-mobile :-D
http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2456853,00.asp

With specs similar to the Samsung Galaxy S5, a price under $300 unlocked, and LTE on the AT&T and T-Mobile networks, the OnePlus One could shock the entire Android market.

So, this June, I'm going go to USA for 2 weeks. What are my chances of grabbing one there (I live in EU, but in an unsupported country so I'm not sure whether Amazon UK/DE will want do deliver)?

I just checked the official site and I still don't get how will they distribute the phones. Will I be able to walk in the store to buy one or is it just carrier contract/order from website distribution?

Also this whole invitation-purchase business makes me think that the initial supply will be very scarce.

P.S. Is this thing compatible with EU carriers? It seems to cover European bands...

My bad, got confused with T-Mobile.

Sorry, looks like I made a mistake, I was thinking of T-Mobile

Yes, comes with GApps pre-installed.

you can order from their website but has an invite system, I don't know how it will be in June. Why would you buy it in the states since it's also launching in Europe? Yes it covers EU bands.


OnePlus One vs Oppo Find7a added in the OP

 

[darkwing]

wow this thing absolutely kills the S5, M8, Z2, G3, I mean you can buy 2 of these and you still have some change left over compared to other phones lol

 

[Blablurn]

i want it nooooooooooow

 

[battousai11]

I'm kind of disappointed that Sprint isn't supported; it's giving me an incentive to switch to T-mobile, at least.

 

[DieH@rd]

Aside from the already insane low price... Only 30 Euro's between 16 and 64GB? Wow.

Apple is to be blamed to insane storage pricing in current phones. In reality, difference between storage chips is just a few bucks.

 

[Antagon]

Shrink it to 4" and I'm in. Phones are way too big nowadays.

 

[Ken Masters]

What a price, and there are rumors apple wants to increase the iPhone 6 price by $100

 

[Blablurn]

Is there a safe way to get it for sure?

 

[kehs]

Will wait for tino's opinion before forming mine.

 

[Rafy]

Is there a safe way to get it for sure?

contests on their forums for invites. Other than that no.

EDIT: Added wake on voice feature in the OP that I had missed.

 

[Lovely Salsa]

How does it compare to S5? Which has the better screen? Camera?

 

[Rafy]

There is a comparison video in the OP, at the hands on section.

OnePlus One vs Oppo Find7a added in the OP

Well, I would like to buy it there since €269 = $372 (as opposed to $299 that is official US price for 16GB model).

Also, I'm not sure whether Amazon (or other shops) will want to deliver to unsupported countries.

 

[darkwing]

How does it compare to S5? Which has the better screen? Camera?

it's a JDI IPS 5.5" LCD screen, I guess it would be comparable to the Z2, M8, so basically OLED vs IPS LCD argument again

 

[TheContact]

Argh I hate the power button being on the side! Why do they think that's a good idea? MY s4 is like this and it's annoying. The top is such a better spot

 

[DrFunk]

Argh I hate the power button being on the side! Why do they think that's a good idea? MY s4 is like this and it's annoying. The top is such a better spot

it's a large phone, so it's much more sensible to but the power button on the side since that's where your fingers naturally sit

It has wake on double tap and voice, so I doubt you will be using it frequently.

also this ^

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

This needs to come to/work with Verizon I really want this...

 

[oxidax]

T.E.M.P.T.I.N.G
Might toss my Z1s for this. Sorry, Sony.

Its standard CyanogenMod [very close to stock Android with few enhancements], with built-in theme section where you can either manually customize everything or download pre-made themes.

 

[Bomber Bob]

Man this phone looks good!

 

[styl3s]

Love it but will it work on T-Mobile? Have 0 interest paying $80-100+ for a monthly bill

 

[DieH@rd]

I still cant believe that they are pricing this 269€. Absolutely destroys high end competition with minimal compromises [no fancy speaker, no heartbeat sensor, but I have no use to those things].

If they manage before end of August to put it general free sale, I will be very tempted to get one.

That is not the final UI.

 

[trixx]

Oh wow this the entire package sounds too good. I'd buy but I'm not really in the need for upgrading my phone. Might have to get 2 for parents. Fantastic price.

 

[GianFrom1987]

still I don't quite understand how the invitation works... I'd love to buy one since I just lost my beloved S2

 

[open_mouth_]

quick Q: how good in the water proofing and scratch/drop proofing on this thing compared to samsung and sony's best/latest offerings? I'm a sucker for impervious phones

 

[DrFunk]

I don't understand the invite thing either, tbh

 

[Blablurn]

I hope they produce enough.

 

[asdad123]

I'm guessing they dont want to oversell and get a bunch of pissed off customers with delayed orders (remember the nexus 4 fiasco with Google).

I'm hoping they send out emails to people who subscribed in waves of when they subscribed allowing them to buy the phone.

 

[Pachimari]

Okay, now I'm thinking of replacing my
iPhone 5 with this one. Worth it?

 

[erpg]

I way too big, but once I tired of my Nexus 4, this will be my brand. Amazing price.

Edit: Oh, won't work on T-Mobile? :-(

 

[GianFrom1987]

ok, so it's begging time!

Please if anyone have an invite (and therefore is able to invite a friend) contact me

 

[RS4-]

Ever since I heard about this a few weeks back, it's all I've been waiting for.

 

[phaonaut]

Looks good, I need a new phone bad.

 

[reKon]

Holy fuck at that price and what you're getting for it. Just wow. They should have made a 4.8 version of the same design. If they did and put in 2 gigs of ram, I would not give a shit.

Edit: what no T-Mobile? That definitely doesn't sound right

 

[massoluk]

I way too big, but once I tired of my Nexus 4, this will be my brand. Amazing price.

Edit: Oh, won't work on T-Mobile? :-(

Of course it will. Why would a world phone not work on tmobile?

 

[mingoguaya]

This is going to be Sold Out for months and months.


This is a game changer!

 

[88random]

I'm definitely in on this phone. I'm currently stuck with Asha 302, sad experience... At least the battery life is good.
