Its a new phone that has been released .They cannot be bought in shops and you need an invite to purchase one. It looks to be a class phone and its is nearly half the price of similar phones from the big companies that have similar spec's. anyone buy one ? http://oneplus.net/" rel="nofollow - http://oneplus.net/

you get an invite from the company or by entering competitions on the site. I think anyone who buys the phone then get a few invites to pass on. |

Looks a nice phone, the thing that would put me off is the lack of a home button, phones without them such as the HTC one are a pain in the hole. Aliexpress sell these phones too with no need for an invite. |
Posted By: rossieman

agreed ,a phone with a home button is a much better job. The one's on Aliexpress can get done for tax/customs and I was told they are a little different ,they use different LTE bands and a different operating system.

| Whats the idea of an invite. What so special about the phone? |
Posted By: rossieman

The invite seems to be just a marketing gimmick and its supposed to be going on general sale next month. The phone has top notch specs and is considerably cheaper compared to any other phone with similar spec and is unlocked/sim free so no need to have a monthly bill. The battery is a huge improvement on any other smart phone I had,can go nearly 48 hours without a charge.The screen is very impressive and it has 64GB storage.No SD card though. Check out the reviews of it online,it compares very well with any of the other top of the range phones. I would definitely recommend it to anyone thinking about changing/upgrading their phone soon. http://www.techradar.com/reviews/phones/mobile-phones/oneplus-one-1244307/review" rel="nofollow - http://www.techradar.com/reviews/phones/mobile-phones/oneplus-one-1244307/review http://www.engadget.com/products/oneplus/one/" rel="nofollow - http://www.engadget.com/products/oneplus/one/ |

My mate just ordered 2 of these bad boys : oneplus 2 The tech reviews look really good and they are half the price of the high end smart phones. http://www.trustedreviews.com/oneplus-2-review 9/10 There was some open window over the weekend were you could buy them directly from the company with no invite.

Yeah, got it on launch night so had it before sh*t reviews cans out It's a very good phone but does some stupid things. Left it on 24% battery last night and it died over night despite being on airplane mode. Th night before it lost 1% overnight. Would recommend anyone thinking of getting it to wait a few months before issues are ironed out. |

I've had my quite brilliant HTC_M8 for over 3 years now but it is letting me down lately. Complaints about not being able to hear me and its battery dying suddenly and having to log back into apps and use backups. Anyway, I'm in the market for a new phone and will be buying it myself. I've a work phone and but they only offer very basic phones. Is this Oneplus recommended? I looked at the S8 but Christ it's expensive and so is the new HTC. I'd like to keep below 500 anyway. Any recommendations?

| Had the oneplus one and now have the oneplus three. It competes with all the top end phones and at a better price. Few years ago I went in to buy an iPhone 6 and the guy in the shop whipped out his oneplus and said get this, don't be wasting money on iPhones and I haven't looked back. My oneplus one is nearly 3 years old, battery was still grand, still quite fast but obviously isn't as good as it was out of the box. But great phone. |

Yeah I have the One Plus 3T since it's launch date. Great phone. Battery would last a full day from 7am to 11pm and that includes being hooked up to a Smart Watch all day and Bluetooth headphones for about an hour a day on top of that. I'd use the phone quite a bit during the day as well as that The picture on the screen, speed of use, 64gb memory coming as standard etc make it a far better phone than most out there at a much lower price.

I haven't seen it for 500, but thanks for the tip, I'll look some more. I'm a little bit reluctant to buy it from anywhere that doesn't have excellent customer service and returns. Though I loved my HTC M8 it did have to go back a couple of times the first few months due to hardware problems. I'm very tempted by the OnePlus going on the rave reviews here and it seems to be a pure Android. I found the extra software on my HTC a little annoying and then there was Vodafone trying to get in also. If I buy direct from OnePlus I'll bypass all that.

In the market for a new phone as well. One plus are only selling the 5T on their site now. The 6 is gonna be out in the new 3 months or so. probably as well to wait for that if you're not in a hurry to buy,see what it's like. |

One Plus are supposed to be very good alright. Not a small brand but got the samsung s10e a few months back. Battery could be better but decent although I have it on the medium power saving mode. Pretty happy with it. Was very tempted to get an iphone this year as I've never had one but the lower specs for much more money made it just not worth it. The Google Pixel is good for camera quality. Supposed to be the best. Huawei are Chinese spies so would be reluctant to go for their phones. TBH I'd stick with One Plus ------------- Pied Piper to: Baldrick, Brendan 88, 9Fingers, Borussia and more... 97.6% chance this post will be replied to by Baldrick (source: PWC) |

Have the OnePlus 5 for last 2.5 years after reading the recommendation on here. Still working superbly, though the battery is beginning to drop a bit quicker. Very happy with it. Might upgrade later in the year. Will either go with the Oneplus Nord or possibly the cheaper Pixel 4A. It'll be very hard to beat the OnePlus but possibly the camera on the pixel4a might be tempting. I have an iPhone with work; wouldn't be tempted to switch to it for personal use, though they do run smoothly.

went for the OnePlus Nord. Cracking phone and camera is excellent. Battery easily lasts two days most of the time including when I use it as a hotspot. Few silly little things annoyed me initially though, no notification light anymore so have to tap the screen or unlock to see if there are any messages etc. They have also merged the ring volume with the notification alert volume. So the phone rings a lot louder than the alert for a txt message. Overall though, very happy and at €409 tis a great piece of kit for the spec and if I keep it as long as the 3 I had, will prove to be excellent value.

Ah dang, the notification light was a great feature reminiscent of the old Nokia phones. Do you use Android Auto? The connection on the cable is temperamental on the OnePlus 5. I hope the Nord connection might be a bit more reliable. I am assuming the Pixel 4A would be good on this point, so if the Nord is poor it may away my decision. The OnePlus phone are superb for the price though.
