Question of the Day: How do you normally pay for purchases in stores?
OnePlus One - $300 killer Android phone
- Thread starter cerebus
- Start date
I was worried about the size (coming from a Nexus 5, already something bigger than I'd ideally like), but it's perfectly manageable 2 days in. And yesterday I went to sleep with the battery still at 70% - and being free of the need to be paranoid about charge, or to have to recharge mid-day, is rather enjoyable!

I came from an iphone 4s to a OPO. At first, it does feel very big, but give it a few days and you'll love it. I wouldn't be able to go back to a smaller device. And the battery life is excellent
So tomorrow apparently OnePlus have a 1 hour window where they will take orders without invites.
Have decided I'll be placing my order then. Can't wait for its good battery life.
Battery life - my favorite killer feature of my OPO!
The OPO is less than 24 hours away from having it's open orders day. Just buy then.

I might buy one of these. I mean it is better than an s5 and none of the over hyped price.

But only for an hour. Not sure what time though
4pm Germany time but there's a slight time difference to South Africa. Just check the difference.

Hope you get one
Sounds like everyone who orders will very one.Hope you get one
Delivery depends on how quick you order though.

You'll have to use a package forwarding company. So just bare that in mind
Normally yes. But I live in DE...

Did you order one?
My S3 felt too small within about 2 hours of me fondling my OPO
Honestly... No.Did you order one?

I had it in my basket and was ready to click buy when they started having hectic website issues.
I then remembered somebody else told me they bought a Sony Xperia Z2 and it's a great phone so I googled it a bit while waiting for the website to come back on and realised that phone looks awesome as well.
So now I'm very unsure. Aparently there's a 6 week wait for today's Oneplus orders as well.
The Z2 looks like it has a better battery. Marginally anyway.
Phone is smaller as well.
Waterproof.
Much better camera than the Oneplus.
Same cpu and 3gb ram as well.
Biggest difference is the screen size and Android flavour.
Not sure which one to choose tbh.
If you're not concerned with the price difference between the phones then the Z2 is probably a better bet for you. You can flash CM on the Z2 if you don't like its firmware.

Actually, you may be onto something. If you get a Z2 from orange, it'll cost you like R200 more. Check this link http://store.orange.com/za/mobile-phones/sim-free-phones/sony-xperia-z2-black-258868/
It was much more expensive when I was looking for a new phone. And it may well be slightly better than a OPO. And now considering that they're priced similarly, and you wouldn't have to wait so long, maybe get the Z2. Having said that, I'm still very happy with my OPO
Just my 2c
