    Hi all,
    I need a new phone and the oneplus x caught my eye. Looking on here I did see the Zuk Z1 mentioned and the Redmi Note 3. I must admit the glass finish on the oneplus is very tempting. Any significant advantages to any of the phones though?
    thx

    Those phones are a mix of 5' and 5.5 screens, which one is your preference?

    Hi mate, yes it does. These are set to colours for different notifications/charge statuses but can also be set by the user to whichever colours they wish

    Really,really good. I will say that I have moved from an 8gb iphone 4s so Im probably more wowed by the phone than say a Galaxy user would be.
    But so far I dont really have many niggles with the phone. Its extremely responsive,battery is decent,camera is grand, the screen is amazing and the build quality is superb. I really like the Oxygen UI. There are a couple of little things that Id like to see added such as a quiet hours mode (which is on the Oneplus 2) but Im sure those features will come.

    On the negative side would be the accessories. I bought the official tempered glass screen protector and a case that looks like dark wood. The screen protector didnt fit properly and I had fierce trouble putting it on(by the time I got it on it was filthy with dust and bubbles). So I bought a screen protector for 5euro delivered from adverts and it works a charm, much better than the official 13 euro one. Also the screen on the phone seems slightly curved at the sides so even the new protector isnt 100% invisible, can see the edges from the side. The quality of the Black Apricot case is pretty poor. It looks great but seems very flimsy and like it wouldnt protect the phone in a fall.
