Is the OnePlus One a good idea?

My current iPhone 4s contract is going to expire in August this year, and I am seriously thinking about buying the OnePlus One and renewing my contract to a Sim Only version. Is this a good idea, and what are your thought on the One?

 

Thank you

I did exactly this in November, best decision I made on getting a phone for years.

1. As the phone is powerful, has a great camera and browses the internet so fast, its made my tablet redundant.

2. The phone cost me £280 with delivery and sim only contract of £13 a month. Total cost works out over 2 years, £24.60 a month if the phone lasts that long. A phone with similar specs to the one plus one, on a decent tariff would have cost me minimum £40. Saving me £14 a month in 2 years I'll use that saving of £320 and grab me a new phone again that's not sim locked in with a provider.

In my opinion you should wait until march and get an asus zenfone 2. It's superior to the OPO in many aspects and significantly cheaper.

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨

If you can get a invite why not. its definitely more powerful then the iphone 4s.

Yeah, I think it's a bit too late to jump in the 1+1 bandwagon now..

I would wait a small bit for the Asus Zenfone 2, as that would be a cheap and very good phone (probably)

Otherwise 1+ will probably bring out something else

OnePlus One is still a good idea.

 

But wait for some months like 2 or 3. There may be new releases on some other brands. As @Sauron told, Asus ZenFone 2 is an awesome spec phone with cheap price. So wait for that.

I don't get people saying wait for the zenfone. Doesn't really look any better to be honest. I'd stick with the One Plus. Zenfone acording to what I read has 2GB of ram. Ram is crazy killer on android. OnePlus One has 3GB. 

 

Although there are other options as well. Depends on your budget.

I have a one plus one, its amazing. Best phone i have had in years. Plus it feels better in your hands when you didnt pay for it ;) Would recommend. Handy tip: if you run on power save mode you can get 2 days out of it. Performance is still good on this setting.

well, it's cheaper and faster, and you don't need an invite to buy one ^^. If you need more than 2gb of ram you can get a 4gb version for (probably) 250 bucks instead of 200, still cheaper than an opo.

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨

I find that unlikely, and you can get a One Plus invite very easy or even without one sometimes.

 

And I know a place you can get a One Plus for $260

Why don't you check on the specs instead of "doubting it"? And not everyone knows a place where you can get an OPO for 260$ (why don't you share it?).

"If you need more than 2gb of ram you can get a 4gb version for (probably) 250 bucks"

Because of the word Probably? Come on dude. And because that much of a ram upgrade doesn't come that cheap.

 

The One Plus One is very cheap. And I'm sorry I was unaware you all didn't know where to get it for that price.

 

Sadly it is no longer on sale for that price at the moment But I'm sure you can hunt around and find it on other places for that price as well.

Also One Plus announced they are droping the invite system kind of. Every sunday you can order on their site without an invite or something like that.

EDIT: "Each week, OnePlus holds an open sale when anyone can buy the One for 24 hours. These open sales start every Tuesday at 08:00 GMT, but keep in mind, Tuesday open sales may not last forever."

 

 

EDIT2: So every Tuesday One Plus One is $299. No Invite needed.

 

 

EDIT3: Apologizes for the massive thread bumb I didn't realize that it hadn't been posted in for weeks Sorry :(
