Description

The OnePlus One sports the most powerful bin of Qualcomm's quad-core Snapdragon 801 (MSM8974-AC), clocked at 2.5GHz, 3GB of LPDDR3 RAM, and a 3100 mAh cell. Connectivity options include 4G LTE, 2.4G/5G Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth 4.0. Wrapped within a magnesium chassis, the One is a relatively compact 5.5-incher, measuring 152.9 x 75.9 x 8.9 mm, and weighing just 162 grams. The 1080x1920 pixel resolution screen is literally slapped on top of the chassis, so the top and bottom bezels are actually recessed. At the back we have a 13-megapixel Sony IMX214 sensor with 6 lenses and a wide, f/2.0 aperture. Lastly, the OnePlus One is powered by a customized version of CyanogenMod OS, which has been redesigned with a minimal, completely flat UI.

Do not recommend

Posted: Jun 11, 2016, 3:25 AM

Phone owned for more than a year

Although this phone started up as a good premise - price and performance were not even comparable to other manufacturers - the buggy software, horrible support and lack of basic features makes this product hard to recommend. As for support - it's as horrible as they say - they try to delay as much as possible by using email instead of chat, with a different representative answering every time - some users reported up to a month trying to get an RMA!

What I like

Battery life is amazing - 4 to 5 hours screen on or 3 days light usage
Camera is ok
Fast
Good signal

What I don't like

Cannot be exposed to heat - several issues may crop up
Call drops and unreliable software
Before heat exposure touchscreen was fine, now its unusable
Oneplus support does not help

Awesome phone for the price!

Phone owned for less than a year

I've had this phone for almost a year and it's incredible for the price. It still runs very quick and smooth, probably even better now than when I first got it. When this phone came out, it really could not be beat for the price. Now in 2016 there are many other options that are just as good or better.
