The OnePlus 2 Thread

Anyone going to buy one on the 11th? Assuming we all get an invite.

Now that the date is approaching, my current phone (xperia z) seems like a great phone again.

Another thing adding to my hesitation is the potential new oneplus phone before the end of the year.

Just look at the reservation list/invite thread for the answer. Loads still interested despite all the offerings from Motorola and the chance of another oneplus phone later in the year.

For the price its a fantastic deal. I for one love the fact they didn't go super high resolution on the screen with that CPU and that's why I'll be getting it! Also laser autofocus and optical image stabilization and 1.3 micron pixel size also help a great deal!

I'm still undecided on whether I'll bother or not. I have 0 issues with my OPO.

First of the oneplus 2 invites have started....on the forums can be seen.

tok9 · 10-08-2015 01:31PM

Good.. at least we're getting somewhere

Thargor · 10-08-2015 04:11PM

17 pages before anyone even has one! Hope it goes well for them.

Is this a bigass phone? I'm looking to upgrade from my Nexus 4 but I really don't want a Nexus 6-size phone.

No it is roughly half way between a Nexus 4 and 6. screen is 5.5 inches.

Very handy phone size comcomparison site.

So I see the owner Carl posted an update saying they are having issues and therefore slowing the invite process down. That's great. At this stage are they doing more damage than anything else? They promised it would be better this time. Do you think any other company would be looking at the Oneplus invite model and saying "you know, that looks like a system that would suit us". Doubt it.

As the weeks go by I'm getting more bemused than anything else. I have no indication that I will have to wait 2 weeks, 2 months, 4 months to get an invite? Crazy.

Official Oneplus forum

Although theÂ invites roll out is slowerÂ than expected, we have been getting a lot of questions regarding when you will receive your invite. Let us try to explain how we work. As mentioned in previous postsÂ [1][2], people who have bought a OnePlus One and are active on the forums will have priority.

This is a behind-the-scenes look at how we distribute the invites. Weâ€™ve developed this algorithm that decides how invites are sent out. Basically there are four tiers:
Tier 1: Participants of OnePlus events (WWYDFT2, pop-up event etc.)Tier 2: Early supporters of the OnePlus One and active forum membersTier 3: Customers who have bought the OnePlus OneTier 4: Reservation ListBased on what tier you are in - our algorithm will assign points based on various factors. Our most fervent supporters will have more points - which means they will get an invite faster than the rest.

For example, if user A bought a OnePlus One a few weeks after the launch, and is active on the forums then user A is in tier 2. Depending on the rank, the user will receive an invite faster than tier 3 or 4.

The ranking within the tiers depends on several factors which favors our early active supporters, such as:
When the OnePlus One was boughtThe amount of OnePlus One boughtThe time they joined the OnePlus forumsAmount of forum posts that have great engagement and quality

This is getting really frustrating now that we practically have no rough timeline at all on when we'll get invites.

I'm guessing from the post if u bought a Oneplus one , u skip the invite anyway ...but yeah its mad confusing..

marcbrophy · 20-08-2015 12:40AM

English translation:

You have to be a rabid fcuking fanboy who constantly licks our collective arses in order to get an invite!
And even then, we'll make you beg for it!!!

:pac:

tok9 · 20-08-2015 08:23AM

I'm resigned to the fact that there is no chance I'll have this phone before the end of September so I think it's time for me to look elsewhere.

Anyone have a good recommendation on a similar phone with just as good (if not better) of a battery?

I see the Moto X Play is £270 on Amazon and looks pretty good spec wise.

god's toy · 20-08-2015 07:19PM

The moto is good but the last few phones from them had questionable battery life and cameras didn't cut it. I see the moto style is getting the nexus 6 camera sooo... well for me that's not a wonderful thing.

But it has quick/wireless charging and NFC and (for better or worse) a QHD screen to boot.

However, no OIS or laser focus

Berty · 20-08-2015 08:11PM

I tried to buy the Moto X Play but couldn't from Motomaker UK or Germany.

I don't want the stock white/black from Amazon, also £10 off with Motorola UK with a code.

I'd also buy the OP2 but they seem to be unable to dish out Invites which is frustrating. I don't really want to buy the chinese version though.

So I can't buy either phone right now and I've someone waiting on my iPhone 5S.

joeKel73 · 21-08-2015 11:20PM

The reservation list has gone over 4million, OnePlus have posted on Facebook that the invites will start going out to the reservation list in 3 weeks.

Unless they really say how many they have available then it's still a guessing game.

I mean do they have 50,000 units ready? More, less? Those 4 million people don't all exist anyway, many are bots people were using to bump themselves up the invite list.

I've been bumped back to 35,000 from my best ranking of 2,500.

I gave up.

god's toy · 22-08-2015 12:30PM

I find it funny that on oneplus forum people are still getting the understanding of the reserve list wrong.
They made a thread about it, people responded to it and yet those same guys still bang on about the 'place in the list'...

It is the a reserve list only not invite list. Meaning they won't be going near that list until the posting forum members are seen too first. Right now your place on that list matters less than if you're posting on the oneplus forum.

So best bet is to jump into the opo forum and be nice as unless your randomly chosen your in for a long wait if you only used the reserve list.

Won an invite on Twitter. Not received it yet. Does anyone know the cost of the 64gb shipped to Ireland?

ktulu123 · 22-08-2015 06:02PM

What did you do to win the invite? Think it's €400

Well done. Great news. If you get a free invite after you make your purchase don't forget us boardsie's

I see on this thread (linked below) that you can get sim cards that support
NFC. Anyone know if they do those type of sim cards over here??

FourFourRED · 24-08-2015 01:44PM

Right guys. 399euro for the 64g + 20 euro for shipping. I guess there will be import duties on this? An additional 91 euro maybe?

After deeper searching it seems they ship from within the EU. Thanks.
