Gabriel Ignacio Same here. The N5 is still a good phone, but with better specs and a lower price tag, not to mention Cyanogenmod out-of-the-box, the One seems to be overshadowing the N5, at least in my mind.
Mine was shipped yesterday at 8pm and today I received it! I will never look at a smartphone the same again! There is just no way you can regret getting this powerful gorgeous beast of a phone!
I was in the process of making a top 5 oneplus one features video before mkbhd released this, but if i release it now i will just get hate for "copying marques"
I agree, just put yours out. How can you copy with a phone review!? It'd mean all tech sites copy each other. People wanna hear about the tech, from anyone and everyone, share the love! ;-)
Thanks :) I just said this because last time this happened, I was making a "why google sold motorola" and it got a bit hate tbh, just need to know peoples opinions ;)
Looks like there are some great features. Can't wait to watch the full review video. I'm thinking about getting this as my next phone. Just have to wait till it comes out.
Excellent video Marques, as always. Really like the phone, but being overhyped and not knowing when and if I will be able to buy it, I ended buying a Nexus 5. I wish they sell well and have good reviews, so maybe next time I can buy their next device.
wow that was faster than expected, you already got your hands on it! can't wait for your review! and i hope the invite crap (a lot of people without invites as well as people with invites are being asses) will stop soon and that there will be invites sprawled all over the place /sigh
To be fair, it was only announced less than a month ago, and Oneplus already stated it wants to open up sales to the public in June/July. 2 months from announcement to sales for the first phone from a (kind of) brand new company isn't bad at all.
where exactly are you people seeing LAG? so many comments here about "wow thats laggy" what the hell? where in video are u seeing lag? if you are talking about when RIGHT AFTER he changes a system UI setting, that happens with ANY device. it has to apply that change to the system of course, then it goes back to normal.... if I'm just not seeing it, tell me what times to look at exactly where you are seeing lag
Damn, that pick and choose theme system rules! I find myself liking and hating things from so many themes. This is perfect for me. I love this phone so much! I can't wait to get mine. I almost forgot, good luck on your finals!
This phone just seems to get better and better. My only real concern is service support. What do I do if my screen cracks, or it just stops working one day?
Okay here's what austin evans said : ''Google nexus 5'' you can get pretty much same features except a few small differences between both the phones and for a 50 bucks more i'll choose google nexus because of the customer support by google.. :). Although I personally will try it if there is a huge difference in the prices between both the phones as Google is way ahead of Oneplus when it comes to marketing which creates a question mark for reliability in OnePlus One.
The One Plus One seems like a pretty sick phone . its ridiculously reasonable off contract and has a ton of cool and useful Cyanagen mods. Does it have 2 gigs of RAM? Is the camera good? Will it be available on LTE 700 MHz?
Yeah man I just subbed to your channel I've stumbled across your reviews before and they have always been nicely done and I like that you don't play a character when you do your reviews you seem genuine. Which is something I find refreshing.
Why are there so many people complaining about not having microSD support? I mean seriously...how much space do you need? 64gb isn't enough? If you don't have a tablet, you can always transfer any pics, videos, etc to your pc to free up space and if you're going to download a boatload of movies, sounds like some of you need a tablet anyway lol...
Reginald French it's not. I don't get it either. 64gbs with cloud storage aswell....I just don't understand. I could see if it's a 16gb phone then you need a sd card.
Thanks for the preview. Also really interested in/excited for this phone. Been enjoying your other videos for a while now I really like them stylistically thorough but clean and to the point. Keep up the good work!
No i'm saying look how much he's achieved in his life already and he hasn't even left uni. I'm in my second year as well and i'm eating baked beans of my stomach
Samsung TouchWiz and LG Optimus UI looks sucks compared to this *"twin-of-google AOSP-stock ROM"* Lesson for today : *pure android wins in everywhere, use it and you gonna love android more*
Don't be so dramatic, right now the note 3 doesn't deserves an upgrade (actually none of the current flagship does) unless you want the bleeding edge quality of an HTC One M8.. When Ultra HD comes to phones with no battery or performance cons and 64 bit processor are the rule, that will be the day to buy a new phone.
Wow it seems like a pretty epic phone especially if you can switch from on screen buttons to capacitive and also just theme your phone as much as you want and do whatever sounds like the perfect phone for me even it's size is good enough(thats what she said :L)
i wonder what will come after this phone. I don't think big phone producers will leave this be. There will either be something very big and revolutionary (no, no google glass or some watch shit), or they will sue OnePlus, or they will release something with double the spec (and double the money). But i will swap my xperia Sola for this once it hits the shelf.
Apple is probably out of the picture, since it's supposed to be "premium brand" so Apple won't even raise an eyebrow for OnePlus One. Also different OS, so no a direct competition. The rest, yes, i am wondering what they are going to do in upcoming months.
I just installed CyanogenMod 11 on my old Samsung S3. I needed a decent replacement phone in case my Sony Xperia Z broke down, but the standard Samsung Android 4.3 was damn slow and sometimes the phone won't even boot up anymore. So I rooted it and installed the latest nightly version. BEST. DECISION. EVER. The phone is now faster and runs smoother than it ever did in the whole 2 years of using it, Cyanogenmod is just AWESOME and the customization possibilities are endless!! I recommend to everybody who faces troubles with Samsungs TouchWizz based Android to switch to Cyanogenmod. Now I really regret that I didn't do this long before!
if all android phones were just like this people wouldn't need to root there phones!!! I am talking to you google, samsung and HTC!! pricks with your software restrictions and limitations.
For root, I think people still want to root. For installing custom rom (which in this case should be installing AOSP, CM), I think that's depends. I think the AOSP skin is very boring compare to Sense 5 or 6 but back when I'm using Samsung, I never use the stock rom more than 30 minutes.
Google ? Google doesn't care if you mod your phone, they even support the modding community, if they don't support the modding community, they can easily disable the freedom to mod Android and we won't have any custom ROM
Sashka Davidenko It's "invite only". You can't buy it if you don't get invited by company itself (extremely slim chances) or someone else that already has it.
This is the best phone I've ever seen in my life. It has all those little features I wish my phone had that makes life so much easier and customizable. If only it was smaller! But seriously, damn this looks amazing!!
No the people whowant to buy it regularly, you have to wait until this whole thing settles down first EDIT: I'm sure One Plus is going to amp up the price as well.
They might, this whole invite thing might be a marketing scheme to just get people interested. Since this phone is ridiculously cheap for the incredible specs it has.
It has similar specs to the M8 but with 3GB of RAM like the Note 3. The lag you see if probably from TH-cam running the video at 30fps. Possibly the One Plus One is still in beta as well. That would make sense as it doesn't seem to be running at 60fps like jellybean and KitKat devices do.

The CM11S' theme manager is really awesome, I also like the live preview for camera effects. I didn't like CM so much, I always preferred other ROMs but this build seems to be very good
It's incredible what a good value this phone is... it's more powerful than most of the flagships on the market today and practically half the cost. How is that even possible....
For everyone who is unsure about this phone. Because its so cheap and from an unknown brand and so on. I took the risk and bought it. That was an absolutely great decision. This phone is a dream coming true. And for me this beats every other phone out there. I am absolutely amazed.
Great video man! Phone looks hawt.
.
The more I see of this phone, the more I like it.
I'm suddenly wanting a Nexus 5 much less now
Gabriel Ignacio Same here. The N5 is still a good phone, but with better specs and a lower price tag, not to mention Cyanogenmod out-of-the-box, the One seems to be overshadowing the N5, at least in my mind.
Very true 👍👍👍
Can't wait to get my hands on this. Looks like a baws.
Great video as always Marques!
a baws lol
Great Coverage! I can't wait to get one.
I see what you did there! (Get "one") :D
***** ...
***** ...
I have one
I'm really liking the OnePlus One so far! Thanks for sharing, can't wait to get my hands on one. :P
looks damn nice!
Can't wait for your review *****
Yeah , your review is awesome
Mine was shipped yesterday at 8pm and today I received it! I will never look at a smartphone the same again! There is just no way you can regret getting this powerful gorgeous beast of a phone!
I was in the process of making a top 5 oneplus one features video before mkbhd released this, but if i release it now i will just get hate for "copying marques"
You didn't see this coming beforehand..? Just do your own thing quit complaining.
instead give an in depth review before he does
I agree, just put yours out. How can you copy with a phone review!? It'd mean all tech sites copy each other. People wanna hear about the tech, from anyone and everyone, share the love! ;-)
Thanks :) I just said this because last time this happened, I was making a "why google sold motorola" and it got a bit hate tbh, just need to know peoples opinions ;)
I don't suppose the acronym youtube channel name do you any favours when people are judging you on differentiation
Can’t believe it’s been 8 yrs since the one plus one came!
Looks like there are some great features. Can't wait to watch the full review video. I'm thinking about getting this as my next phone. Just have to wait till it comes out.
Wow. This is absolutely epic! They took pure android and made it 10x better :D
Wow this video is like a time capsule. I remember when this phone came out, I was so hyped for it, then it didn't support Verizon lol
Excellent video Marques, as always. Really like the phone, but being overhyped and not knowing when and if I will be able to buy it, I ended buying a Nexus 5. I wish they sell well and have good reviews, so maybe next time I can buy their next device.
The first thing i did to check my 4k display was watch this video in full resolution and it looks absolutely brilliant... keep it up Marques
Awesome phone!
buat r review Oh! Media ..
I changed all my thoughts regarding this phone with this one single review.
big fan of your mr.MKBHD.
Awesome job. I can't wait till I get mine!
Oh you can't wait so you won't get one so more chances for me to get one? Yay!
Killing for One
Sulamita Dias Oh no violence please :p
Adam will give you his invite i'm sure! Right Adam K ?
Mr Sunshine, you are truly funny Greg..
Bad mood Adam K ? let me give you feet salad, can do miracles.
wow that was faster than expected, you already got your hands on it! can't wait for your review!
and i hope the invite crap (a lot of people without invites as well as people with invites are being asses) will stop soon and that there will be invites sprawled all over the place /sigh
You forgot 1 feature:
1. Insanely hard to acquire
If you are so attached to your product, Oneplus, here is an idea: Don't sell it!
To be fair, it was only announced less than a month ago, and Oneplus already stated it wants to open up sales to the public in June/July. 2 months from announcement to sales for the first phone from a (kind of) brand new company isn't bad at all.
3DprintedLife OnePlus just announced, that they are gonna sell it in May! :D
Waiting for this phone to be in my hand!!! And also for your next video MKBHD!!! U truly are HD in your videos!!!!
where exactly are you people seeing LAG?
so many comments here about "wow thats laggy" what the hell? where in video are u seeing lag?
if you are talking about when RIGHT AFTER he changes a system UI setting, that happens with ANY device. it has to apply that change to the system of course, then it goes back to normal....
if I'm just not seeing it, tell me what times to look at exactly where you are seeing lag
They're saying lagg b/c of the framerate of the screen video mode
There's a small delay on pressing the home button... however, it's a small problem.
The software is amazing! I love how everything is so customizable
Damn, that pick and choose theme system rules! I find myself liking and hating things from so many themes. This is perfect for me. I love this phone so much! I can't wait to get mine. I almost forgot, good luck on your finals!
I'm loving this device more and more. It's definitely on my radar to own.
This what every Android phone should be like. Phone is freaking awesome.
This phone looks incredible, can't wait for the review!
This phone just seems to get better and better. My only real concern is service support. What do I do if my screen cracks, or it just stops working one day?
Thing is, for the price, you can get a new one for the price that using insurance on a lot of carriers would costs. That's the real advantage.
BlindxPandaTech idk about that. Insurance for my phone is $10 a month.
Okay here's what austin evans said : ''Google nexus 5'' you can get pretty much same features except a few small differences between both the phones and for a 50 bucks more i'll choose google nexus because of the customer support by google.. :). Although I personally will try it if there is a huge difference in the prices between both the phones as Google is way ahead of Oneplus when it comes to marketing which creates a question mark for reliability in OnePlus One.
***** How much is a down payment though? AT&T charges $200 for new phones even with insurance. It's a hidden charge they don't talk about.
I have us cellular so I don't have to pay down payments.
Recommended after 6 years!! Nice Watching on my OnePlus 6T 🤤
Is there any way I can flash touchwiz on this phone
You have...eccentric tastes
Your joking right lol
Karan Coimbatore lol
Touchwiz smh...
Please don't even joke about that...lol :)
I wish other youtubers "quick videos" were 8 minutes long, love your vids mkbhd keep up the good work and good luck with finals
The One Plus One seems like a pretty sick phone . its ridiculously reasonable off contract and has a ton of cool and useful Cyanagen mods. Does it have 2 gigs of RAM? Is the camera good? Will it be available on LTE 700 MHz?
3Gb Ram.
The camera I can't say.
No it won't run on band 12 (700Mhz)
Could be a Nexus killer!
this is an awesome new invention man I love it - all the features and all
Agreed!
At least we have a backup plan if there's no nexus 6 I'll probably wait for whatever one plus comes out with next year
OnePlus Two? Lol.
***** ... Equals 3
J0rdanGaming HD ray william johnson
VyprFX Nope. He said One Plus Two? so i answered him. The answer is three.
J0rdanGaming HD Equals 3 = Ray William Johnson.
Yeah man I just subbed to your channel I've stumbled across your reviews before and they have always been nicely done and I like that you don't play a character when you do your reviews you seem genuine. Which is something I find refreshing.

You dont need a tablet when you have a sexy 5.5 inch 1080p display
zachcool6141 I agree.. but if you think you're going to use all of the 64gb, then you may very well need a tablet lol...
Reginald French thats why you need microSD slot
zachcool6141 But with 64gb, how is no microSD a dealbreaker!? I guess it's just me...
Reginald French it's not. I don't get it either. 64gbs with cloud storage aswell....I just don't understand. I could see if it's a 16gb phone then you need a sd card.
This phone looks really interesting. All the features look great! I'm really excited to see a full review of it
this phone is great! fully customize-able! Samsung, you on notice!!
Thanks for the preview. Also really interested in/excited for this phone. Been enjoying your other videos for a while now I really like them stylistically thorough but clean and to the point. Keep up the good work!
do windows phone 8.1 update review man :)
I'm done my second year of college!!! Hope all is going well for you Marques in school!!! BTW awesome video
This guys a student still!!>? Wow he's going to go far in life
Well, he's only 20. Being a student is reasonable with his age.
Yes? He is
No i'm saying look how much he's achieved in his life already and he hasn't even left uni. I'm in my second year as well and i'm eating baked beans of my stomach
Franco Rossel I don't think Peter was being sarcastic
I love those live effects for the modes and effects.
Samsung TouchWiz and LG Optimus UI looks sucks compared to this *"twin-of-google AOSP-stock ROM"*
Lesson for today : *pure android wins in everywhere, use it and you gonna love android more*
😍
Touch wiz makes me puke
good stuff mane, cant wait for the full review, better yet own one !!
Too bad I cant buy this. So I bought a Nexus 5 instead. Maybe next time OnePlus
You can always put Cyanogenmod on it.
Malay G that's wasn't really the point :-)
Tor Ivan Boine Still tho, Nexus 5 is hardly "settling". Got one myself and fucking badass phone.
same hahah
Can't wait for the phone to drop! And the full review!!
Anyone got recommended by TH-cam in 2021?
2022 for me.
Love the bokeh at the beginning, provides an attractive background to an attractive phone!
your setup video please !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Your attention to details is amazing.. Keep it up👍
Bye bye note 3! I'm getting this for my next phone!
Better sell it first.
Don't be so dramatic, right now the note 3 doesn't deserves an upgrade (actually none of the current flagship does) unless you want the bleeding edge quality of an HTC One M8.. When Ultra HD comes to phones with no battery or performance cons and 64 bit processor are the rule, that will be the day to buy a new phone.
Simon Valdivia you do realise if he sells his note 3 and buys this he would actually end up making 100 odd dollars ?
Sid Shetty Indeed.
Simon Valdivia Obviously you don't know how frustrating Touchwiz can be on a non-rooted phone....
Finally the Rock i mean mkbhd has come back to youtube lol
He uploaded a video 4 days ago
Wow it seems like a pretty epic phone especially if you can switch from on screen buttons to capacitive and also just theme your phone as much as you want and do whatever sounds like the perfect phone for me even it's size is good enough(thats what she said :L)
the button feature comes from LG G2
Yeah like Lev Joans said below, I also love your videos. Very no nonsense and pleasant presentation.
i wonder what will come after this phone. I don't think big phone producers will leave this be. There will either be something very big and revolutionary (no, no google glass or some watch shit), or they will sue OnePlus, or they will release something with double the spec (and double the money). But i will swap my xperia Sola for this once it hits the shelf.
Samsung, apple, HTC need to get their act together..
Apple is probably out of the picture, since it's supposed to be "premium brand" so Apple won't even raise an eyebrow for OnePlus One. Also different OS, so no a direct competition. The rest, yes, i am wondering what they are going to do in upcoming months.
As I see, Google MUST buy Cyanogenmod now, this people think OS from new perspectives and straight to the point, much impressed about this phone.
Yeah, I'd "tap" that.
That's the best comment I've ever seen.
I just installed CyanogenMod 11 on my old Samsung S3. I needed a decent replacement phone in case my Sony Xperia Z broke down, but the standard Samsung Android 4.3 was damn slow and sometimes the phone won't even boot up anymore.

Google? Lol are you serious?
Google ? Google doesn't care if you mod your phone, they even support the modding community, if they don't support the modding community, they can easily disable the freedom to mod Android and we won't have any custom ROM
Great mini review can't wait for the full one
seems i'm not gonna buy nexus 5..
Good luck getting one of these ...
***** why? :)
Sashka Davidenko It's "invite only". You can't buy it if you don't get invited by company itself (extremely slim chances) or someone else that already has it.
***** it's invite only for now, but soon wide sales will start :)
AAAND i got my Samsung Galaxy s4 and i'm amaized by the camera in it. best cameraphone at the time.
This is the best phone I've ever seen in my life. It has all those little features I wish my phone had that makes life so much easier and customizable. If only it was smaller! But seriously, damn this looks amazing!!
Need an invite to be able to get one
Sucks they have the whole invite system
Only if you want the device early.
Neil Tagaban You mean you can get it without an invite ?
No the people whowant to buy it regularly, you have to wait until this whole thing settles down first EDIT: I'm sure One Plus is going to amp up the price as well.
finalruner Wait u mean it's going to cost more if i bought it regularly?
They might, this whole invite thing might be a marketing scheme to just get people interested. Since this phone is ridiculously cheap for the incredible specs it has.
Hey really appreciate the review especially during your final exams. Your Awesome.
That phone seems slower than my old galaxy nexus. This reviewers are getting very biased towards phones these days.
It's animation lol
Nexus copied phone
It has similar specs to the M8 but with 3GB of RAM like the Note 3. The lag you see if probably from TH-cam running the video at 30fps. Possibly the One Plus One is still in beta as well. That would make sense as it doesn't seem to be running at 60fps like jellybean and KitKat devices do.

This phone looks great, has better specs than both the M8 and S5 (its like a Note 3S) but is $299 no contract!
Good stuff man. You keep me up to speed with all the new things going on thank you.
Im about to throw away my iphone
This phone impresses me more than that Apple
If you upload a video of you doing this, One Plus will send you the One for only a dollar. Check it out on their official site!
Matthew Acosta you need to be invited you can't just throw away your phone xD they are choosing 100 applicants to do that and they will get a one plus one for a dollar.
The CM11S' theme manager is really awesome, I also like the live preview for camera effects. I didn't like CM so much, I always preferred other ROMs but this build seems to be very good
I want one, although I am brokes.
You're automatically less broke since you like this one instead of an S5 or iPhone. This is only $300 ish!
SacTappingUnicorn
unless you're on contract and due an upgrade like me. then the s5 is 199/etc
Well, I do not even have a phone. I will soon, but it will be one of those crappy free-250-min-a-month ones.
Can't wait for the full review of this phone.
Great work *****! I really want to get the phone but man, I need an invite! Keep it up and all the best to your finals.
That phone is awesome!! Once they produce enough units, it's gonna be a force.
Great review MKBHD I like this phone.
You never disappoint me with any video and I want the One plus One
Cyanogen plus OnePlus;customization at its peak!!!!
I like how u talk about different phones that come out every year
It's incredible what a good value this phone is... it's more powerful than most of the flagships on the market today and practically half the cost. How is that even possible....
I freakin love every one of youre videos. Theyre so informative and well done.
I have always loved Cynogenmod and I never knew they made a phone! This is great... I know what my next phone is gonna be!
***** lol really
DarkPhoneixZ Yes?
***** i meant that you were surprised they made a phone :P
Man you gotta keep us OnePlus fans going! Throw us some vids! Maybe one about customizing cyanogen and showing the theme engine in more depth
Ordered one and i cant wait to get my hands on it, its the first android phone i try out
You my friend is very good at what you do, i love your reviews keep up the good work Cheers...
This video was really helpful, I honestly did not know much about this phone. Just off this video I'm really interested in purchasing this device.
Purely with regards to software this is amazing. I like the possibility of full cyanogenmod compatibility too.
Hi, I come from the future and the OnePlus 6 is out and it is AMAZING. I think you guys will really enjoy it when you get there! Good luck!
For everyone who is unsure about this phone. Because its so cheap and from an unknown brand and so on. I took the risk and bought it. That was an absolutely great decision. This phone is a dream coming true. And for me this beats every other phone out there. I am absolutely amazed.
Thank you from Belgium Marques! Great video! Very good review my friend! Have a nice day, lucky man ;0) Thumbs-up, of course!!
that onscreen button feature is simply awesome. . .
Thank you, I was waiting for this video like forever
I want the OnePlus One sooo much too :O
Nice Video, thanks! :D
Great Review, Btw, are you gonna review the moto 360 as soon as it comes out?
Awesome video. Can't wait to see your full review. Thanks!
we need the complete test! the test! the test! :D Can't wait... ;)
Google would be ashamed to see that awesome developers are putting such neat features and options in their own operating system.
Wow. Cyanogenmod just made this phone 100000% better.
Cant wait for the full review my contract is up in june so this might be my next phone.
Nice video. Impressed. Does it have any power saving mode.?
Great..thanks, Marques! You just made me want this phone even more now :[[[[[[[[[[[
Me too..
Want so bad. Instead of Cyanogenmod, I've been running the Xposed GravityBox module on my Nexus 5 and that's been very satisfying as it is.
The themed looks awesome, I would love to have something like that on all Android phones
