oneplusone pfffft:)

hey hey hey??!!? what's wrong with it?

you dont like it?
No, seriously, it has the same hardware specs as G3...
ah ok screen is not QHD, but i consider it as a plus rather than minus, as it will reduce battery drain.
Camera of 1+ is better if compare the actual photos of G3 and 1+, just search the web
From that point it is extra 250€ on top, the question is for what? Brand and Design? Design of 1+ is also not bad, tho i do accept the fact that i like G3 more
but 250 euro... is it worth?

Anyway let me know when u get it, would love to hear how much import would u pay, or would you at all? Also the condition of the phone and the main question is there any difference between Asian and EU G3 versions?

moggser · 15-07-2014 1:38pm

I did say pffffffttt :)yeah i will do hopefully few days time.. save a few sheckles on eglobel 500 for 32 gb hopefully no import been very lucky thus far

Hmmmm... Its nice to see that its a little waterproof. I cant see the back cover being waterproof. I'm suspicious it was just a bit of surface tension that kept the water out. I wonder what would happen if it was submersed without the back cover.

moggser · 15-07-2014 3:54pm

Try it:-)

Briksins · 15-07-2014 3:55pm

yeah, we wait

hahhah

qezep · 15-07-2014 4:00pm

Checks out, its perfectly waterproof! Were all set for some great underwater photography!

qezep · 15-07-2014 4:14pm

No one does steam tests. Id say condensation would get under the back cover and mess things up pretty fast.

moggser · 15-07-2014 4:17pm

Ya didnt your hooooooop check it ha ha pics of gtfo

Ya, I put that second post up mostly in case someone trusted me. I would have felt very bad. Im sure ill test it by accident at some point. May as well wait till then

moggser · 15-07-2014 4:22pm

Lol im not saying i dont believe ya ill just say ill reserve judgement till all the facts are in

qezep · 15-07-2014 4:27pm

Ya, I was trying to tell ya not to believe me. This website needs a wider range of emoticons.

I finally decide to go for "OnePlus One". Already order it.
Everything together it cost me ~400€ for Black 64GB version. it is for 200€ cheaper to LG G3 for the same specs.
You can potentially got it even cheaper if:
1) not gonna buy invite, but get it from OnePlus for free (I got it for 50€ on ebay from Irish guy)
2) not order from UK, but from another EU country (keep in mind they don't do shipping to Ireland by some reason, so i had to use 3d party service to re-ship it from UK (actually from Northern Ireland, they do delivery there as it is UK part - service is: parcelmotel.com)

here is very good review with unboxing youtube.com/watch?v=xGUtBv2kbKE

P.S. What should i do to get permission to post links? this unreasonable block is kind of annoying, im not bot and not posting any ads

moggser · 22-07-2014 9:58am

Do you need invite to buy the fish n chips phone? Eglobal have it shipped for 350 64gb

Briksins · 22-07-2014 10:10am

haahhah "fish n chips" phone.... c'mon don't be like that! brand sign is not always mean good device. Most of the time it is still the same thing, but with logo and cost more. Especially in hardware and electronics.
Nor LG, nor HTC nor OnePlus develop hardware, they buy parts from others, CPU is everywhere the same SnapDragon 801, RAM from some Taiwan company and so on... all they do is just combine all those parts together and stamp it with their brand. for this stamp pay extra 200€ is unreasonable i think. especially when the price will drop on 50% in next 6 month, and after anotehr 6 month there will be new G4 and Samsung Galaxy XXXX....
Regarding Eglobal - i think they have not true version of oneplus. There was official thread on OnePlus forum, where admins were explaining the difference, it is the same HW, but not the same OS and doesn't have OnePlus warranty.

Looks a good phone on paper, but you could be waiting a while and they're a new company, so I'm not willing to take a chance with a new Chinese company with phone support and returns etc.
Much rather save myself €100 and get the G2

moggser · 22-07-2014 10:25am

Well i normally take chances on stuff like that cause i like quirky different phones hence why i went for g flex and your right names dont mean jack sure one of the worst best money spent on a phone was 80 for a huwaii y300 great little back up while waiting 3 weeks for the nexus 5...anyway lets know how your fish n chips phone works out when you get it ....ill have me g3 later today

It is not a joke what to sell product, think yourself how would you coop with such high demand if you would be an business owner? They are just kind of "kick starter" startup and not comparable to Samsung manufacturing power. They simply can't supply millions phone in one click like Samsung does. So invites system was the way how to limit amount of orders! and fair plate to them that they didn't start accepting orders and money just for a sake of getting rich! they did honest trade and take money only when they can provide gods in return.

What is more, internet already full of invites. I bought invite for 50€ in 1 minute time once I made my final decision that im going for OnePlus and not G3. Invite is not a problem for those who really want to buy. even with extra 50€ for an invite, this phone is still cheaper than any other phone with similar HW.

To moggser:
Yes sure, ill update you once i get my "Fish & Chips" phone hahhaha
love your sarcasm

moggser · 22-07-2014 10:50am

Ha. Ask ya granny what a one +one is ya will see ha

Briksins · 22-07-2014 10:51am

heh I dont think that my granny would know as im not Irish nor she is

so u better explain here what is "one +one"

moggser · 22-07-2014 11:26am

Ha ok well a one'n one is or was known as a fish n chips if ya went to your chipper and asked for it back n the day

Briksins · 22-07-2014 11:43am

I asked few Irish guys at work, they never heard of it

but they are not granny's tho

hahah
anyway thnx for clarification.

P.S. now my wife start looking at LG G3, it looks like i will still not avoid that purchase for 600

damn LG
how could they be Samsung killer with such price?

moggser · 22-07-2014 11:51am

Ha ha well yeah sure i only know it cause i was told when i was a young fella....go to eglobal if your wife wants it save few euro 500 for the 32 gb and they keep dropping the price

Briksins · 22-07-2014 11:54am

but it is not only 500, also import tax
so the final amount still will be around ~600
however there is a good chance to be lucky and not be spotted at Irish customs

did u order you G3 from them? how long was delivery overall? 2 weeks? more? and was u billed for import?

moggser · 22-07-2014 12:19pm

Ive ordered 4 time from them and never got taxed all tho they say they will refund you and have done to other users on here when they ship takes 2~3 days for instance my g3 shipped yesterday and is already in dublin and on way to me as we speak so all in all i wont ever get a phone from anywhere else bar there

Briksins · 22-07-2014 12:23pm

sounds like a good review of that eglobe

regarding refund, sorry im not sure I fully got what u mean - did u mean that "they promise to give you refund if you will be taxed"? so even if you will be taxed for import they will return it?

moggser · 22-07-2014 1:20pm

Exactly:)

qezep · 22-07-2014 1:29pm

That's brilliant! Its like being insured against being caught for tax avasion

moggser · 22-07-2014 1:32pm

Kinda sorta but not really

Icyseanfitz · 22-07-2014 2:01pm

im sitting on the fence about getting a g3, really like the look of it but how does it perform in comparison to say an s5?

depend on about which model u are talking about
There are 2 G3 models, main difference is RAM and Storage
16GB is 2GB of RAM
32GB is 3GB of RAM

If you take 3GB of ram, it is performing faster than S5, if lower model, then Samsung is faster
just google for benchmark results and you will see

BTW my "Fish and Chips" performing faster then G3 with 3B of RAM :P

Icyseanfitz · 22-07-2014 2:29pm

everything ive read tells me that performance wise the s5 is quicker, even against the 3gb g3, do you have some benchmarks? i really like the g3 and its amazing screen but i love silky smooth performance, arggggg decisions!!!!

You can see benchmark results against other phones in this vid. I doubt you could notice the speed difference of 5%. One this is, I doubt he had his phones full of apps so 3GB phones might perform better if he did. Also later on when you have lots of new android updates.

This is the comparison I was interested in:

Icyseanfitz · 22-07-2014 3:26pm

would there be any trouble using say a german 32gb g3 here in ireland? really think im just going to get a g3, had an s3 before so id like something different, would getting it insured be easy enough?

hahah man those benchmark number are for the gigs, plus / minus thousand here and there doesn't make any noticeable change for the user. It is anyway works smoothly in any case

Tho im fan of Samsung and with them since first Galaxy until 4 and I should say their software is not the best and has enough glitches.... dont know how is the situation with LG soft

in any case whether u decide to go for G3 lower or higher model or for samsung you will get smooth experience and those benchmark numbers just to measure how long is your d**k

Also dont forger that LG has QHD display and Samsung does not, it is mean LG have to process x2 more data to output it on the screen, however it score is not half of SGS5, it delay just a bit. and 3GB version is ahead of SGS5
go for 3GB ram model and you will be at the TOP

obviously after mine

OnePlus One is biting G3 with 3GB hahah

you have a g3 yeah? if you dont mind me asking, where did you get it from? i know mobicity.co.uk sell them but i dont know much about the site, is there a more reputable site?

Briksins · 22-07-2014 3:42pm

I dont have G3, i was considering it, but decide to go for "OnePlus One"
as it is the same specs as G3, has a bit better camera and bit G3 in benchmark however cost less then G3 for 200Euro

the cheapest place to by G3 is eglobe website (500 euro curently), if you go back few pages and read moggser you will understand....

qezep · 22-07-2014 4:00pm

I got super excited about the OnePlus One when I heard about it. Love the idea of the CyanogenMod OS being so customisable. The reviews of it being a bit glitchy turned me off though. The issues with it seem minor but I tend to overreact to those small things!

but what exactly bad did u hear? what kind of glitches?
here is greate review youtube.com/watch?v=xGUtBv2kbKE in all small details
Also i bought invite from one of Android XDA active developers (he has over 2.k posts and huge karma), and he as a fan of all android phones. He said that "OnePlus One" is currently best phone available in the market. I think words of a gig definitely worth something

There only one bad thing i heard about "OnePlus One", it was delay of home button, but later i find out it was a feature of "double tap" of Cyn.* mod OS, and not a glitch. this feature can be turned off in settings if you don't like delay.

Anyway i got mine, waiting for delivery, after i get it ill update you with my feedbacks, but so far everyone who bought it tells only good things: forums.oneplus.net/threads/the-ultimate-oneplus-one-meta-review.54399/

P.S. GRRRR enable me using URLs please

qezep · 22-07-2014 4:23pm

Ya, I remember the home button thing. The reviewer didn't know it was a feature I guess. They should have made the 2nd function press and hold. No need to wait for a second tap then

This is the only review I can rermember: youtube.com/watch?v=FrgGHAab9D8

The LG G3 I got has a quirk too tho. The method for turning on 4G is not normal.

Briksins · 22-07-2014 5:00pm

hahah dont dissapoint moggser

he is over excited today to get his new G3, don't tell bad things about it as moggser will be mad.
It is not his fault that he decide to buy overpriced glitchy phone instead of buying proper "OnePlus One". i know he already regret and now calling 1+1 as "Fish and Chips" hahahhahaha

P.S. where is my big fatty troll? here we are betanews.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Troll-300x291.png

moggser · 22-07-2014 5:08pm

Ha yeah im eggcireh alright ...im not buying into the hype of thr glitch sure everyone has good and bad experiences with all model phones sure your fish n chip phone might be the best one out there who knows... well you will when you get it amd i know that i change my phones that much im sure ill see one myself before the year is out all tho will probably be their next model tho...

The connection options on mine are GSM / WCDMA and WCDMA only. To turn on LTE you have to dial 3845#*855# and you have more options there. Yours might be different.

Its not that big a deal. The phone is perfect other than that. Its better than having bits of the UI hang around when theyre not supposed to (right 1+1 users? :P)

moggser · 22-07-2014 5:33pm

Oh that....kinda like having a g2 again just keep in the clip tray.. suppose be a pain in the bollox ill live with .. the g flex didnt have that so spose ill live with it. Whats the software version on yours .. or where ya get it

hahah one more troll detected

anyway i should agree, it is actually first time when i bought phone not from proven brand... so i am also scared a bit, would be sorry to realise that i waste 400 euro. but i really hope i didn't, and all reviews so far tells mostly positive things
