One Plus may have a competitor, Xodiom

[XTankSlayerX]

That's perhaps what we're seeing as a manufacturer called “xodiom” has cropped up offering a high value, high powered device. It's based around a 2.7 GHz, quad core Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 processor, which is a slightly newer model compared to the Snapdragon 801. This is the same processor that lurks inside some versions of the Samsung Galaxy Note and the Google Nexus 6. The xodiom smartphone also includes 3 GB of memory, a 16 MP rear camera, an optically stabilized 5 MP front camera and a 5.5-inch QHD AMOLED display (just like the Note 4 and Nexus 6). There's a 3,200 mAh battery and it's available in 32 GB or 64 GB flavors. The handset has the expected high speed WiFi and 4G LTE networks, a very fast autofocus system and it is designed to be life-proof, being impervious to perspiration, liquids, sand and dust. The handset has ultraviolet, heartrate and blood oxygen sensors. It'll run a skinned version of Android 5.0 Lollipop.

That sounds great, right? It's as though xodiom have taken a look through all of the features that made the OnePlus One, Note 4, Nexus 6 great, thrown in a few of their own and wrapped it up with an inexpensive sticker price. So how cheap is this budget device? The 32 GB mode is just $329 and the 64 GB model is $379, available in back and shipping on the 5 January, 2015. Perhaps that sounds too good to be true and you know what… it might be. Xodiom are only accepting money via Bitcoin or wire transfer and we're yet to see a real photograph of the handset – the image above is a render and it's hardly illustrative of the design! There's no contact information for xodiom besides the contact form so as tempted as you might be, I would absolutely recommend sitting on your hands.

"Xodiom are only accepting money via Bitcoin or wire transfer" 

 

Scary.  

[Maheshvara]

Looks too sketchy

 

Do they think we're stupid

[Maheshvara]

Yeah cause the one Plus thing worked out great.....

Well, truth be told, if they set  a launch date and not that stupid invite system, then it would've been a huge, huge success

[terrytek]

Well then. Maybe I can wire my whole life savings for this.

 

 

counting money........Total outcome: $2.

[Fetzie]

Only accepting wire transfer and bitcoin just screams "you can't trust these guys to actually give you a product".

This seems a little too much.... off. Maybe I'll be proven wrong, but I wouldn't be recommending this phone until I hear from several people that it isn't a scam of any kind.

[SirSquid]

If they do release this phone i will still be skeptic in buying one as it could be a bait 'n switch.

[dizmo]

Sounds like a scam if I've ever heard of one. Plus no pictures of the actual product?

It's also Chinese, which means no app drawer.

Pass.
