#OnePlus #cheaper #flagships
It’s odd that last year had so many good mid-range devices, the OnePlus 3/3T, the ZTE Axon 7, the Moto Z of last year was only $400, the Honor 8, just so many options for different experiences and this year you have OnePlus being the only well established company making a flagship type phone for less than $500. Motorola made the new Moto Z more expensive, ZTE is for some reason making the Axon M for $600, you just don’t have as much diversity this year which is unfortunate.
I still use Oneplus One as a daily driver. Great community in the custom roms.
I am still using one plus one and will upgrade to 5t i would say it was a great journey and it was never outdated acording to performance
I think xiaomi is the answer
I miss my oneplus lol
Still using my OPO after 3 years and 2 months and I’m not going to stop until it craps out on me or something just as good comes out.
Still using OnePlus One. Question guys, do you know what is the best battery replacement for our unit and where to buy it?
Still using a Oneplus One here — nothing I’m seeing is worth $600 out there. ~$400 is the most I’d spend.
Still proudly rocking my Oneplus One! It’s been almost 3 years and it’s worked without a hitch!
My friend still uses the original one plus phone I don’t know how he survives
I’m still rocking a Nexus 6 and don’t see any need of upgrading because it’s fast has a nice screen sound front firing speakers that are loud and OLED screen and updated to android version 7.1. Processor is dated but no sign of slow down so the Android stock experience and memory management is awesome still only use 1.5 of my total 3gig of memory. So why waste all that money? I think we just need to take a step back and realize we don’t need the newest tech that comes rolling around the corner but I must say my next phone would likely be LG V30 because the dac/amp good camera and screen size. I still use my Nexus 7 tablet gen 2 still no problems with a nice size screen. I bet if I had an iPad I would have to replace it long ago.
Ab oneplus ne kama liya he.…
One plus is over the clouds.… Users will pull them down soon.…
Who’s watching on Sony Xperia z3
I still the the Oneplus One as my daily driver with a custom ROM by Sultanxda. It’s still so good, I haven’t felt like I needed to upgrade! LOL!
Watched that Video on an Oneplus One! :3
Hard on contribution hurry initiate loud creation withdraw wave
I ordered mine the first week it got released direct from China without an invite, I remember there was 2 or 3 versions of the snapdragon 801 & this came with the top version, amazing specs for that particular time compared to its competitors, I still have it & am actually watching this video on it, my favourite phone to date, over the years I had many other phones but I always kept my oneplus one as a secondary device, amazing screen only few barely visible hairline scratches on the screen, dropped the phone so many time yet it survived, time has changed so much happen over the years yet this incredible device is still here, cyanogen os was amazing & now there is lineage os & so many custom roms, im using tugapower, it has dual speakers and I just love them, cameras are not up to par for today’s standards but decent & better then most cheap phones, this was an actual flagship killer not like do many other phones that came after, the phone is still so fluid smooth & the one I reach for when watching videos, aged so well for me.
The onplus 5t may probably be the next oneplus 1 based on it’s flagship specs and reasonable price point.
Still using the oneplus one 💙💙
Also watching on 1+ 1
Still rocking this beast but the degrading battery is making me look towards 5t now.
Can anyone refer me to replacement battery?
i just bought a Samsung Galaxy S5 a few months ago and it’s already messed up in a boot loop. Even after Odin and firmware, it’s not coming back. Is OnePlus One worth buying used or not? any recommendations?
The flagship model now days are way too expensive. Don’t know how they justify this pricing, base on what??
The real long-term review
As consumers we give the phone companies too much power. if people stop pay the high prices, Samsung,iPhone, Google and others will stop charging so much.
You still have better specs today… 8GB of ram and 128GB Rom is very rare to find!
I think the price sure started to climb since 2015, I bought my Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 (Qualcomm) then, and I haven’t found any reason to change. Hell, the next iteration of Redmi Note cost more but step down from SD 650 to 625
I’m still using my OnePlus One, no lag, battery is still perfect and it’s nearly 3 years old.
I watched your first look before I decided period, I’m buying the OnePlus One. At least I got the 64GB version.
when oneplus one is coming back
Im use in present OnePlus One is ok in performance Full Graphics Mobile Legends: Bang Bang and PUBG MOBILE Medium settings no lags is good performance in 2018
