Hello to one and all !
Unveiled two day's ago OnePlus One is passed into the hands of our friends at Android Authority who had the chance to get their hands on the Killer Flagships. The following three videos which gives us an idea about the design and handling of the new upscale 'cheap' smartphone that will be available (in small quantities to begin with) April 25, 2014. Three comparative tables and a few shots are also there to give you even more information between the technical and visual differences of the four devices.​

i really think it's between the 7a and OnePlus One, though I'd add the m8 in that list
for me, I hate samsung phones...Locked bootloaders to hell
Find 7a looks like there won't be a lot of dev support, and the OnePlus One isn't guaranteed support because of cm (think N1)
so, I'd choose the m8 because of the HUGE dev community. all variants of the m8 are basically the same and thus most of the software will work from any of the variants
$350 for a beast I on this the only thing I want for this is a good kernel with faux sound support and this is my father's day gift

Many reasons not to buy the OnePlus One if you want a TOP smartphone.
Many reasons to buy it if you want a very good device at a very good price.
Sorry everyone, but there is already a thread for comparing deviced. Can I ask you to repost this into The Device Comparison Thread.
Thanks!

Moto x play or asus zenfone 2?

As the title says, what do you prefer? I've to buy a new device but I don't know what to choose
have you seen zen phone UI ???
before buying I was also wondering the same as its cheaper, one look at the UI and I ditched the idea. otherwise it has good specs for a mid ranger.

Yes, but I don't like it so much so i think that If I'll buy the zenfone2 I'll turn into cyanogenmod
Battery life not as good as the x play.
I hate power buttons put on the top edge of large phones. A major nusance with the current Zenfones. Also, does the Zenfone offer Bluetooth aptX like all Motos do? Because no Intel powerded device currently supports that, AFAIK.
Moto X have better camera yes? Its a huge diffrence?
I traded my play with zenfone 2, zf2 is way ahead. I would say the play is a Tercel while zf2 is a Supra

As a moto x play user, I can proudly say it's a great device. Every animation is smooth as it should be.
Yes on lollipop the performance wasn't smooth but after the major 6.0 update, everything is great.
Now don't expect it to be a powerhouse.?

I am using Xplay for 2 months now and I am very happy with the performance, no other trusted OEM provides this much specs at this price range. Otherwise you could go for one plus one/two/X those are nice.
If there is any asus zenfone 2 user, please tell me about battery backup and performance of the phone. (I'm thinking about buying asus-zenfone 2.3ghz with 4gb ram). I'm worrying about battery backup.

But what about camera. I read many reviews about bad camera quality (specially at low light performance).

mannnn... [emoji32]
I'm fully confused after seeing reviews of both phones.
zenfone 2 have performance (2.3ghz, 4gb) but lack of battery and moto x play with superb battery but performance is
low(only 2 gb ram[emoji43] ).
but price of both approximately same.

If you don't play heavy games or do lots of multitasking then x play is good enough, I can assure you that the performance is not low. btw, how many phones out there already running on marshmallow?

Why no development for ZF3?

Just curious. I have the ZF2, but the battery is horrible. Was looking to upgrade to the ZF3, and I noticed there's no ROM development for it. Any particular reason for that? Are devs expected to start porting ROMs to the ZF3 eventually?
Thanks

The answer is that the Zenfone 3 just isn't as popular with enthusiasts and developers as the Zenfone 2 was. The Zenfone 2 was insanely popular due to its great specs and even better price, but after many people were disappointed with their Zenfone 2's, they just aren't interested in the Zenfone 3. It also doesn't help that in most countries the Zenfone 3 is the same price as the OnePlus 3, a much more premium phone that happens to be insanely popular with developers.
Huh, that's pretty unfortunate. I guess I'll look to the OnePlus 3 then, thanks for the heads up!

Which phone would you upgrade to?

I just recently bought myself an Honor 7X and, to be honest, I'm really enjoying it. It seems very fluid and reactive in comparison to the Moto G4 Plus even though the H7X I chose has 3GB of RAM instead of 4GB.
It was quite a hassle to unlock the bootloader though and there aren't many ROMs for it yet but it's still fairly young. Having Treble support directly from Huawei is definitely a plus.
What about you guys?

What's the use of treble when you can't unlock the bootloader???
This is the worst decision Huwaei made....

I agree!
I managed to unlock mine though. ?
I look for custom roms and development before buying a new phone. That leaves me to just two choices: OnePlus or the pixel. I prefer the pixel because it has a sensible screen size and is not an iPhone copycat like OnePlus is becoming. Gotta save up. For the time being, I've got to continue pushing the G4+. Got it's battery replaced too for that reason.
I'm leaning towards Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1. Nice specs and pretty decent development. But right now I'm waiting for Oreo for Moto. If this doesn't happen by the beginning of the 2019 I will make a jump
Recently I switched to a Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite 4GB RAM/64 GB storage for about €160-170. So far I'm loving it, because of 4000mAh battery (2-3days power with 10+ hours SoT) paired with pure stock Android and guaranteed fast updates because of Android One.
I'm definitely going to buy a Redmi Note 6 pro.
Just upgraded to an LG V30+ and it's amazing!

Topic was already moved to proper place by moderator, but thanks!
Moved to Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1. Unlocked bootloader, rooted, Android 9 (Pie) + GCam.
Can't complain. After my dying Athene, X00TD is great.
Average camera but incredible battery.
