2014 FLAGSHIP KILLER - OnePlus One - ONE General

Sorry if wrong place, couldn't see sub forum. Check this phone out guys the specs seem to good for the price. Wow!
Wounder if we can buy in UK?
http://oneplus.net/one#overview

Yup this phone is certainly one to keep an eye on, early reviews are positive! Amazed it's cheaper than the Nexus 5 (£229 for 16GB / £269 for 64GB) and has better specs too.

The runtime schould be better than the Nexus 5 runtime.

Seeing as Oneplus is created by ex Oppo employee and the 32gb Oppo Find 5 I used to own only had a 2gb partition for app storage, even the new Find 7 only has a 3gb partition, I will get the 64gb version only if the full 64gb is available for apps storage.
These small partitions for app storage are totally useless in that a lot of apps nowadays can be 1gb+ in size so a small 2 or 3gb partition will be filled up pretty quickly. As an example on my Galaxy Note 3 my total apps have taken up 3.7gb.
Otherwise, this phone sounds like near perfect device for me.

Why don't you just create a bigger Partition for Apps? That should be possible with the OnePlus One.

Can't wait ,i'm going to get get 64GB version

Where do i get an invite?

Certainly interesting! I wouldn't call it a flagship killer, though.
For me a device will never be the ultimate flagship if it lack a MicroSD slot. Especially if the phone is 16GB. Maybe the US has worldwide free 100Mbps WiFi for cloud and streaming, but the rest of us don't.

I'm ready to give them my money

Yep, can't wait for this phone to be available. Seems to address all the things I was disappointed with in the new HTC One (M8) - primarily camera.

The only way in which it is a flagship killer is the unsustainably low price. Hence their ridiculous invite system.
You can either play the game with rabid forum fanboys in the hope of MAYBE being permitted to purchase this device, OR you can just to and buy the nearly identical Oppo Find 7a and have the device arrive within days.
If they'd priced it $100 higher they would've been able to have a sane ordering system. With their current business plan, the device is going to be vaporware for all but a small handful of users.

Maybe true, but if we all start to share invitations over here as well (as we already do), at least we can get one. Also, I do think there will be a point where they'll open up the store for everyone, so doing that for the lower price is fine with me.

I'm not really sure what this means.
I don't think I could fill up 60GB of usable if I tried. Although, my video/music collection is in the terabyte range. I don't need all of my music (not even a quarter of it), and I think I've watched an .mkv on my phone once.
I've been happy with 16GB (12.6GB usable). All of my music (via Subsonic, or Google Music all access)can be cached whatever I want on WiFi. I don't come close to hitting my 2.5GB limit of LTE on Net 10 or 3GB on Simple Mobile. My internet connection is also metered at home (300GB) and I've never been close to hitting that.
I didn't even have a microSD in my S4, and that was my last device with the option.

Very good point, I didn't know that about the Oppo phones. I'll definitely be looking out for that before I buy (assuming I'm lucky enough to get invited) since I have 5GB of apps installed on my N5.

With the latest KitKat changes the usefulness of the MicroSD slot is quite limited and according to both Google and Koush it is likely to be more of a second class citizen as time goes on. And the One has 64GB models for dirt cheap so I don't see this as much of an issue. There is no way I need more than 64GB.

No SD slot = sticking with my S5 and Note 3.

Do you really need a SD in a 64GB phone?

64gb internal is great especially since it'll be running at maximum performance. S5 has only a 16gb option and formatted it's 12 then TouchWiz brings it down to around 8gb. What SD would you put in there? 64gig would be the best since 128gb is expensive.

For $50 more its a no brainer, besides you're only getting a little over 5gb with an 8gb device.

It dependents on how you want to use the Nexus 7.
Before I bought the Nexus 7, I checked out my usage on my 16GB Asus T101.
It was less than 4 GB.
If you're just viewing content, doing email, reading a couple of books you can probably get away with the 8GB model.
The reason why I say this is that if you're just needing this as a traveling companion, the 8GB will probably be okay.
If you think you might want to carry around more to entertain you, then you should probably select the 16 GB model.
I've had my Nexus 7 for a little over 2 weeks and I still have over 8.01 GB free.
Here's an example of what's on it now: apps, 4.08 GB, pictures, videos, 12.1 MB, audio , 20 KB, downloads: 259 MB.
Perhaps others will tell what their storage looks like.
The extra storage is comforting so if you think you might use it, go for the 16 GB.
16GB all the way. While you can always access your media from the cloud (assuming a wifi connection) if you want to carry any media with you, not to mention an app or two you will be sorry with only 8GB to work with.
after the formatted volume and operating is took into consideration it would be not enough to have 8gb, i got the 16gb and its great

While I agree that 8gb would probably be ok for Mom and Aunt Nancy, anyone on these forums should opt for the 16gb. Even if you don't "normally" use that much storage, there will always be that one time. Plus resale value on these will be crappy for the 8gb. Anyone rebuying these will want the 16gb.
In this day and age, 8gb devices are a joke. I know they keep cost to a minimum but the actual price difference between a 8gb and 16gb chip is nil. The bare minimum should be 16gb and even those should be fading out soon. Honestly tablets should be 16gb/32gb/64gb.

Google and Asus must be loving this thinking too, you could buy a 16gb micro sd for $10, and they get to charge 50 for just an extra 8gb.
Not saying it's the wrong decision to get the 16gb, it's just annoying
if youre an 'on the cloud' guy.... go for 8gb....
if you like to store everything for offline use... go for 16gb..
i have a 16gb... and am always connected to wifi.... everything on google's cloud, got 13.24GB free space
your choice really... but I don't think i would have regretted getting the 8gb one
If you flash ROMs a lot definitely get the 16gb because I do and I got the 8gb and I think that it's not enough because I need to plug it in the PC to put ROMs/backups/etc very often (with 8gb you only get about 5.xxgb of usable storage) ... So if I bought one I'd buy the 16gb, but I got mine as a gift so I am not complaining
Also keep in mind that 8gB is like ~6+GB available space while 16gb is about 13+GB available

Really are comments like your Mom and Aunt Nancy really necessary...sounds a bit irrelevant unless you're trying to make this a sexist issue.
Thanks everyone for their replies. I ended up taking Vbacon's advice of looking at my Asus TF101's usage.
After many ROMS, videos, and even the entire MAME ROM collection, i still never passed 4 gb out of 32gb on it. So i bought the 8GB nexus.
I used the device mostly as a browser/emailer. I used to stream music from it, but now use my Droid Razr for that. When i do watch video, it's streaming from HBOgo, Netflix, amazon Instant video or brighthouse. So the reality was, i just wasn't storing much.
Many on the replies said they bought the 16gb and that their decision was absolutely worth it. what was it that made it absolutely worthwhile? Is it just peace of mind or actual use?
16GB is my recommendation,
Besides of the available space there are benchmarks showing that I/O performance is better than in the 8GB version because of the controller used. and 50 more bucks is not that much for extra space that you may need some day
I purchased the 16gb so that I wouldn't have to deal with Out Of Space errors that plagued my HTC Droid Incredible. I play Zen Pinball, Pinball Arcade, & use tTorrent Pro. The pinball games can have tables that run into 100mb & up. Pinball Arcade has almost 10 tables available for purchase. Zen Pinball has 8 tables available. Storage space becomes an issue quickly.

I think you were more so looking for a reason to buy the 8gb model lol. Just remember 6+ gbs isn't a lot of space. Either way you got a fantastic device but the 16gb model is what I would have sprung for ...

i was open-minded. I just didn't see any logical reason to buy bigger except for the last post that spoke about I/O performance.
16 GB because the system itself takes memory, so a 8GB device, would have like 5GB available empty :S

32GB/64GB Note 2 in UK?

Hi guys,
I currently have an S3 and I have a buyer for it, I will be buying the Grey Note II very soon. However, due to the large number of games I have and the increasing file sizes for game data (in particular gameloft games) I would like to go for the 32GB or 64GB version. It is very inconvenient to always run out of space and have to move game data to the SD card. With the size of phone games these days, 32GB really should be the new standard imo.
I already have a 64GB memory card so please don't tell me where I can purchase one of these. I want the Note 2 in Grey with 32GB or 64GB internal memory. Do they exist? Will they ever appear or am I likely to be waiting indefinitely?
Now the buyer for my S3 is getting impatient and he wants it ASAP. I could sell it and buy the 16GB grey Note 2 now, but if there is any news regarding the 32 or 64GB version I will hold out for a bit longer.
Any information would be most helpful.
iphone users will be really jealous.

~i have almost the same case here...but as far as i have heard...the 64 and 32 GIG versions are not gonna be out till after 2012 ends...
Samsung are just about to start releasing an S3 64gb. Doesn't bode well for seeing a Note II anytime soon.
They seem to use the extra memory to even out their sales further into the phone's life, rather than maximize them at launch. Bloody annoying really.

Same boat except in Aus do I'll no doubt be waiting longer! so tempted to get 16gb but know I'll hate it later! Also don't you need a 'micro SD' card? Might do a search and see if there is a 'confirmed to work' 64gb card thread...

I ordered this: KINGSTON SECURE DIGITAL CLASS 10 SDXC 64 GB
I will update this thread once I pick it up at the post office today
I was in the same boat. I wanted the 64GB with 64GB microSD, but it is really unnecessary. To use that space you would need A LOT of movies on the phone. Movies etc can be streamed from your home computer via the Emit app. You can also use dropbox, so even 16+64GB is moooooooore then enough space.
Im one hoping for the release of the 64gb variant soon.
I think samsung have dropped the ball here.
Least the fruity phone manufacturer makes all memory size variants available from zero day

I've gone ahead and ordered the 16GB Grey Note II today. For those interested in the UK, this is the deal I got:
Grey Note II (FREE HANDSET)
300 Minutes
Unlimited Texts
1.5GB Internet
£27 Cashback.
£31 per month (T-Mobile)
24 Month Contract.
I ordered it today, it should be with me tomorrow.

No, the one I ordered is 3G.
Thing is, I do not intend to use 4G at all yet especially since we can be sure it will cost a fair bit on top of our contracts. I have also heard reports that the battery life takes quite a hit on 4G. By the time 4G is standard across the UK and we have coverage everywhere, I reckon I may have the Note 3 by then...
farfromovin - I agree with you, I think 128GB micro sd cards are literally just a few weeks away now.
If your thinking for waiting before buying the consensus is that is too long to wait for most. We are greedy. But it might still be a good idea as next week ee launch the lte version, this may affect the prices but come November network prices will definitely be affected. Combined you might save £50 in 30 days. This is all skeptical I know so let's say the EV is around £25 allowing for a fall in hype too.

It's funny you say that. I was thinking the same thing. I sure hope so. If this is the case I'd be willing to go that route. Not only is it more storage it's a more future proof solution. In fact the difference between a 16GB and 64GB note will probably be roughly equal to the difference between a 64GB card and a 128 GB card.
... here's hoping.
Got my Note II today, what a beast of a phone. Takes the best things from the Note I and the S3 and combines them, and improves it some. :good:

The XC standard is supposed to be fixed regardless of memory size (up to a limit I forget) where the HC standard was different for each capacity. Wouldn't guarantee it but if 64 works then 128 (256, 512...) should be fine.

[Q] S4 with 32 or 64GB internal memory

Are Samsung ever going to release the S4 with 64GB internal memory as stated, or even one with 32GB internal memory?
All signs point to probably not.
i hope so, i preordered two ... im not buying anything less than 64 so.. ill continue to wait, got an N900 holdin me down.
edit: the 32 is already out in the 9500 flavor .. 24GB freespace
why wait or pay so much more for a 32 or 64 gig version, just get a 64gb sd card and slap it in. cost a lot less than the phone does
You can't move all games on sd, only some. So, you need larger internal memory.

File binding and rooting doesn't work yet, has reliability issues and stops some apps from working.
Internal memory works better. We need bigger memory models. The 16gb should never have been sold.

Unlike Apple, Samsung doesn't sell the phone directly. It gets orders from the carriers and wholesalers. The carriers no nothing about the memory and apps issues so just ordered the cheapest model as it would sell the most. But they were basing this decision on lack of technical information.
Every single mobile phone shop is lying to customers telling them apps can be moved to the sd card. I have corrected the staff but do they care to raise it higher.

Yeah, but not only. If you check websites like Amazon, even there are only 16 GB devices They will release in 4-5 months the 32 and 64 gigs, when another, more powerful smartphone with 16 gigs will be released.
32GB is already out and being sold. there was a vid on youtube, ill look for it.
edit: BOOM!
Any further speculation/rumor on the 32 release (on AT&T specifically)? I spoke with a rep who said they will be getting the 32gb version, but did not know when. I spoke with a samsung customer service/marketing rep on facebook who said to contact AT&T for info. No help at all, and 16 just seems too small even with the 64gb microSD

How about some more magic and make that YouTube S4 appear for sale in the UK.
Any news update on 32gb/64gb with LTE models? I'd rather buy an 64gb htc one than a 16gb+64microsd S4. But I like the S4 more than the One.
I am also waiting for the 32GB version, don't know when it will be available in Middle East, can't wait to get my hands on this beast.

It took three months for the 32GB to happen for the S4 and that was only due to customers bugging them about it.

Yeah I'm concerned they won't be offering it. I don't understand why most of the US carriers won't.
Easier to milk it like Munson. Only offer the 16gb and charge $50 more than everybody else. They would have done the same thing with the M8 if HTC offered one to them.
I am going to try to hold out for the 32gb. My S3 had 32gb, but my S4 only had 16gb and that was a mistake. i would love the new htc but the battery does not come out so that is a no go.
32GB is pretty much and i want it.

Hopefully they'll release it soon. I can't imagine 32gb being the minimum these days... and by the way, I have zero games on my 32gb S4 and it's only got about 8 GB free!
I'm not sure if you are interested but I found an app last night that allows me to redirect apps to save on my SD card. It is called foldermount. I just don't know how it will work on the S5 since the sdcard setting are different in kit kat

Yea.. 32gb memory. Can you explain it.. Must be a good opportunity. But i think is it low capacity bear ?
vzw will do like they did with the s4 and wait until they reach their target of 16gb devices sold before relasing the 32gb. they know from experience the large majority of their customer base won't spend extra for the 32gb on release day. the few people begging for the 32gb didn't change the availability time frame last year and it won't change it this year. plus demand for the s5 seems to be lackluster.
Yeah seems your kinda right about it.

In this last release they give 32 gb. I think it is good to use another. But why they Bugging with this ?
Extended memory
Yes it would be nice to see 32gb. but you can always bump up external memory to 128gb. which is awesome. I put 64gb on mine and with 16gb. internal that gives me 80gb. so I think I'm set very for now.

Does not help for apps. All depends on the users and the apps they have.
It seems obvious this is a milking strategy, so probably depends on if they offer 32gb when launch sales slow down. I am not too sure they will this time. One less sku to manage. Yep, they have multiple ones with Apple, but Apple is pushy like that and controls supply.

[Poll] 64/6GB or 128/8GB

Let's see which model people have decided to buy. Drop a vote.
I personally think the price difference is fair and tempting to go for the higher end model.
Wanted the 64/6GB model but I had to wait to long for it in Italy, so I spend the few more bucks for the bigger one. Since I got the student -10% it was okay.
If there was expandable storage I would have got the 6/64GB. Considering you lose 15-20% of that space out of the box, getting the 128GB was a no brainer....its not like the 6GB isnt enough ram
I selected the 8/128 as the other one was out of stock and delivery delayed by a good week... The price different is not much anyway...
Couldn't fill up my 16GB devices back then, so I went for the more-than-enough 64GB model
I got the 64GB model, but I kinda wish I paid a bit more for the 128 ?
My old phone was only 32gb so any option would work for me, but I plan on keeping this phone for a while so I went with the 128gb. Compared to other phones this upgrade was cheap.
I can barely fill up my current 16 gb lg g2 and I've been using it for the past 2 years
I think 64 gb is more than enough for me
I was under half full on my 64GB OnePlus 2, so I went with 64GB again. I figure if I ever get that full I should be backing things up anyway.
Got the 128, should be here mid next week! I have 30GB of music alone so 128 is definitely the choice for me lol
I wanted the 64gb but it had a much longer waiting time so I settled for the 128gb. I think that 6gb RAM is gonna be overkill even in 2-4 years and storage is meaningless to me because I stream everything from my home server... Oh well.
who the hell is going to buy 64gb when you can get 128gb, I cannot understand that !!
I hate any kind of sync and I want to keep everything offline and do not overpay for roaming !!

Yeah the 60.00 was worth getting the extra storage alone, the extra 2gb was icing, most companies charge 100.00 for double storage

And who is going to buy a 128 GB model when there's a 64 GB model?? I can't understand that.
I hate any kind of copy and past crap to all of my devices and love my monthly great big data plan!
All I want to say... To each his own.
I came from a 128 GB OP5 and I'm very happy with the 64GB model. Battery life is even better with less hardware to provide of juice.

:good::good::good: AMEN! :good::good::good:
Who the hell really wants to have to rely on copy and pasting and keeping everything local these days? Who wants to have to copy from phone to phone these days to keep everything synced? I don't just use one device, i use multiple. The hassle to have to constantly manually copy to keep everything the same on all devices is a mentality from a decade ago. Get up with the times already. Automate that by using the cloud! Whether it be your own cloud or purchasing cloud storage.
My 128 should arrive tomorrow. Without expandable storage, I want the largest I can get.

I cannot understand why you ever would need that much storage? Do you really need that 4k porn with you all the time?
I went with the 8GB/128GB one not because I needed it but because I wanted it. It's all about choice without breaking the bank [emoji5]

Actually I wanted more storage, but as the shipment of the 128/8gb would take a few days more I've bought the 64gb version.
For $50 more you get specs comparable to a low-end gaming machine.
