But in all honesty specs only improve incrementally, I doubt people would be able to tell the real world difference between snapdragon 805 and 810. Heck Im content with my S4, though I may consider the 1+ after they scrap the stupid invite system.
True, but considering that this phone is from a fairly unknown and new company (no offence to OnePlus), would you still buy it a year from now considering the software updates, support, and overall longevity?
That is bullshit, its still highend, and I will have one in a week max :) 810 is not THAT better, and 3gb of ram helps to make this phone a beast. CyanogenMod 11S will be updated for 2+years.
Great memories unboxing and using this phone three years ago. Now I am enjoying the 3T and is running like a champ after more than a year of use. Thanks One Plus!!!
Been using the Oneplus forums religiously for a few months now and expecting my OPO arrive tomorrow morning. So excited! I've watched a lot of reviews of the OPO and yours is literally the best by a country mile!! So sleek, well organised and showed great tips, learned quite a few things so thank you. Really great job and the end was very cute, made me smile!
I just loved this video. This video has been made very well. The best part is the way the phone has been reviewed......i have seen many phone reviews but i can say this was the best phone review that i have watched till date. This review gave a very good understanding of the phone, which will help me n anyone to decide whether to buy this smartphone or not.......Thank you once again
As someone who owns this phone, i have a few tips: - Sometimes the display can over expose and become white washed, this happen most often when you tap to focus in the camera app and then press the home button. - Install the Google camera app. The normal camera app that comes with the phone has poor software and the photos don't come out that well. - the double tap to wake feature (and the gestures) sometimes activate in my pocket. other than these few things, this phone is amazing and totally is worth getting.
Thank you DetroitBORG for an excellent review on the OnePlus One..You have completely sold me on the phone !! All I can do now is wait and hope that somehow I can obtain an Invite to buy a OnePlus One!!!
I got mine yesterday! they're sending the invites like crazy right now! there was so much trafic on the site it went down for like 20 hours today haha, people are hurrying to buy theirs before their invites expire! just stick around on the forum this week, you'll surely get yours too!
I love the way you made an analysis on that phone. Most people who do reviews do it from when the phone is outta the box. I love your work and I appreciate it fully.
I just ordered mine on the 27th of July I am very excited, I have Sprint service now, when I receive my one phone I will cancel sprint and go to tmobile
Murder a sheep, collect all the blood, throw the blood off a building, if blood hits a person named johanne then handcuff johanne to a tree, wait for tree to get hit by lightning, steals johanne's identity and take his insurance money, buy a solid gold pig, make a sacrifice to satan for an invite. Be advised satan doesnt give many invites
I'd say the Moto G is a super low budget device, and it's a great device for the price. But $300 for a flagship unlocked smartphone hardware that's what we all call - inexpensive.
Bryson Hills ok thanks, i own an xperia Z right now but its a pretty old device, but if i were you' i would keep your ipone 6 and wait for the oneplus 2, upgrading from an iphone 6 to a oneplus one will not be worth it
Just small correction. They changed the description of the speakers very recently when forum members discovered it's actually MONO and not stereo as originally advertised.
Buxtonnes This is the 1st review produced by him that I have watched. I live in the south, where we tend to speak a bit slower. Even with the non pause speech, everything was articulate and very concise. Have this this booked marked, so when I get mine in the next day or two, I can through it again
Tim G We're not talking about the local flavour of his enunciation, but rather his inauthentic delivery which feels forced, and thus very unpleasant. You don't have to be a robot to be articulate; take Howard Stern for example: a beautifully clear and pleasant voice but retaining all the richness of his personality.
Very powerful smart phone in considerable economic price. It is simply clone of other market leading smart phone but targeting all groups/class of customers, hands up for it , I really like the key features and overall design and user interface. Good job
The reason why it was like a budget phone was the Software, its Cyanogen Mod and on most cases, its actually free to download on most supported phones. So the UI can might be costly.
I love your Unboxing and Review of the OnePlus One. Just purchase it a day ago and is already shipped. Just waiting home fir it. You got an extra subscriber. Thanks for the info on the yellowing of the screen. Hope you add more videos about the OnePlus One.
This phone is awsome and it has alot of awesome features( personally really like the ones when you have locked phone and you can draw for different commands)
That's the first time I heard someone mention the gestures when the screen is off, which is awesome! I like to have a security pin with my phones, so this would be great for not going through the pin everytime.
Hey Mike, I'm a Verizon customer and I was wondering if this phone would work on Verizon because I'm really looking into this phone. By the way great review, you just earned yourself another sub!
My friend told me this is the ultimate phone. I quite laugh at him before your unboxing video. I was so surprised how they change or various of function in customization. I love your video
Omg why is your house so beautiful?! And omg your dog's are just super cute !!! Thanks for this amazing review! I just pre-ordered the phone today. I am excited for it!
whatched like 10 different reviews of this phone and one thing that no one cant seem to explain is that back case texture, you can find that same stuff from most gaming mice.
After watching your review(first time watching you) and also a iphone user I went and bought a(one) great phone is all I can say and at the same time got hooked on your video's Thanks and keep it up
i guess you're the best reviwer of smarthphones, you say everything it needs to know about, every details and miscs. Thank you man =) And yeeees oneplus one is the best for this price.
I actually like this fone very much and consider moving from my iphone 5s to this but when i switched from iphone 4 to 4s to samsung s4 then back to the 5s made me realize how convenient apple is, with all the updates to software and support. I can walk in an apple store and have them repair my phone same day. Have all these great accessories from great companies that are actually high quality and all the polished apps from apple app store. But if i had 350$ to waste, I would definitely pick this up in a heartbeat. But I want my phone to last for atleast a year without having to worry if it breaks, who will repair it or will they cover it or whatever.
Very nice review. One of the best I've seen. No bullshitting about the invite system or the copany just discussing the devices as it should be done. I also like that you actually give a lot of tips on how to use this device. Keep up the good work!
Great review. Have one coming. It should be delivered tomorrow. Greatly appreciate the amount of time you spend on the the actual operation of the phone and its UI. Most reviewers just cover looks, feel, size, specs, etc. Got this review bookmarked. It is going to save me a lot of "trial and error" on the initial set up and future use.
Amazing thorough review as always. Learned a lot of things. I'm running CM11 m8 with Highonandroid OnePlusOne kit on my Note 3 and i did learn from your vid. Thanks!
Hope you enjoy the video! 4K will eventually be available once TH-cam is done processing.
do you have a Invites?????
Where u get camera
Yeah, invites?
Can I get an invite? I been asking around for weeks
That a wonderful smartphone I will be glad to fell how it true works in my hands
Just wondering does using the proprietary charger charge the phone quicker like some Oppo phones?
2:07 that's one happy sim ejection tool!
By the time they get this phone out of the "invites-only" phase, it's specs will be outdated. Sad, but true:(
But in all honesty specs only improve incrementally, I doubt people would be able to tell the real world difference between snapdragon 805 and 810. Heck Im content with my S4, though I may consider the 1+ after they scrap the stupid invite system.
True, but considering that this phone is from a fairly unknown and new company (no offence to OnePlus), would you still buy it a year from now considering the software updates, support, and overall longevity?
Who doesn't love Freddie? :)
Rudra Kashyap Pandya I guess so, honestly I hope the invite system ends soon.
That is bullshit, its still highend, and I will have one in a week max :) 810 is not THAT better, and 3gb of ram helps to make this phone a beast. CyanogenMod 11S will be updated for 2+years.
Great memories unboxing and using this phone three years ago. Now I am enjoying the 3T and is running like a champ after more than a year of use. Thanks One Plus!!!
Jesus Christ... I was thinking of getting an iPhone 6 Plus, but the specs in this thing crushes it on so many levels
Been using the Oneplus forums religiously for a few months now and expecting my OPO arrive tomorrow morning. So excited! I've watched a lot of reviews of the OPO and yours is literally the best by a country mile!! So sleek, well organised and showed great tips, learned quite a few things so thank you. Really great job and the end was very cute, made me smile!
amazing review... your clarity of speech, fluency and explain-everything style is just amazing and gripping... thank you!
400 plus one pixels per inch
LOL
feels like they have like a 10$ profit
That's because they do.
They are a Chinese company, so they are basically using slave labor.
No
Yes
They don't do that.
Hands down, this is the best review of this phone. Seems to be the only one that really talks about the strengths of CyanogenMod.
I just loved this video. This video has been made very well. The best part is the way the phone has been reviewed......i have seen many phone reviews but i can say this was the best phone review that i have watched till date. This review gave a very good understanding of the phone, which will help me n anyone to decide whether to buy this smartphone or not.......Thank you once again
3:42 hey hey hey savour the moment, buddy!
Superb work Mike, now I kinda want this phone... Ha!
Thanks Tomas, right now it's my daily driver, love it :)

DUDE, THE attention to detail, DAYUM!!!!!! Trust me, I would BUY it just coz of that presentation, its top notch!!
Wow a phone with flagship specs at a budget price. I LOVE IT!
As someone who owns this phone, i have a few tips:
- Sometimes the display can over expose and become white washed, this happen most often when you tap to focus in the camera app and then press the home button.
- Install the Google camera app. The normal camera app that comes with the phone has poor software and the photos don't come out that well.
- the double tap to wake feature (and the gestures) sometimes activate in my pocket.
other than these few things, this phone is amazing and totally is worth getting.

This was a very intuitive video you have created. Just got my 64GB OnePlus One today! Never owned an Android phone before. Good Show!!! :-)
Got my OnePlus One coming in a week (64gb Sandstone black) :D
Aneesh Gunda Look on /r/oneplusinvites to get an invite.
Aneesh Gunda careful. Don't give out ur email like that
Aneesh Gunda Or hackers are going to mess it up
steffe9707 hahahahhahaha
I love the way you made an analysis on that phone. Most people who do reviews do it from when the phone is outta the box. I love your work and I appreciate it fully.

Where do you live? Beautiful places :)
Thanks! Rochester Hills, Michigan
Bruh
lol
Im kinda overwhelmed by the amount of options you have on this phone! its crazy!
This makes me question why people buy iPhones
I just ordered mine on the 27th of July I am very excited, I have Sprint service now, when I receive my one phone I will cancel sprint and go to tmobile
You can't purchase this phone without invites right? So how do I get that invite?
They will send u a email
Murder a sheep, collect all the blood, throw the blood off a building, if blood hits a person named johanne then handcuff johanne to a tree, wait for tree to get hit by lightning, steals johanne's identity and take his insurance money, buy a solid gold pig, make a sacrifice to satan for an invite.

TheSinep999 bwahahaha
Darude - Sandstorm
Its really weird how i woke up this morning to an invite...
Mine shipped today. This video isn't making the wait any easier!
.. I dun understand why most android phones nowadays doesn't come with the physical home button
its called the samsung
ali maraz which is overprice
will you weren't talking about cheap android phones with a physical home button
ali maraz I shall continue using my galaxy s3... galaxy s3 is still best phone ever...
yup it sure is
yay ive ordered my one plus will be getting it tomorrow 64gig ..waiting to get my hands on, it is a flagship killer ...great video thank you !!!
Uh $299 is NOT a budget price
For an off-contract phone, that is great!
Jared Davidson yeah i didnt realize it was off contract. Nevermind
Broke much?
I'd say the Moto G is a super low budget device, and it's a great device for the price. But $300 for a flagship unlocked smartphone hardware that's what we all call - inexpensive.
What is it then? Haha
Best and most complete review I have seen on the OPO so far. Great job, you have a new subscriber in me :)
Is this still worth buying in may 2015?
Yes, I might buy myself one. I have an iPhone 6 right now but I'm tired of ios.
Bryson Hills ok thanks, i own an xperia Z right now but its a pretty old device, but if i were you' i would keep your ipone 6 and wait for the oneplus 2, upgrading from an iphone 6 to a oneplus one will not be worth it
i'd wait till the oneplus two comes out (quarter 3 this year)..
Tim Erfurth yeah but i dont have and will never have an invitation to buy the oneplus 2 and it will propably be more expensive
kobe Cornelis More specifically OP 2 will come out in June if I am not wrong
Just small correction.
They changed the description of the speakers very recently when forum members discovered it's actually MONO and not stereo as originally advertised.
Is this still a good phone?
Yup ordered mine cannot wait till it arrives.
Mohamed Abdourahman me too! :D
Bradley Scott Earley how did you purchase it? says i have to get an invite
ChickNWafFles3 be a member of the forum post some shit and wait to get an invite. Since they're rolling out preorders you can also wait.
Mohamed Abdourahman would you mind sending me an invite so i could purchase one? Thanks
That was by far the best review of the device i ve watched. Congrats dude. Thats how its done. Others make it more like a quick view thing.
is this guy actually a robot?
Buxtonnes
This is the 1st review produced by him that I have watched. I live in the south, where we tend to speak a bit slower. Even with the non pause speech, everything was articulate and very concise. Have this this booked marked, so when I get mine in the next day or two, I can through it again
Exactly, he's a machine.
Tim G
We're not talking about the local flavour of his enunciation, but rather his inauthentic delivery which feels forced, and thus very unpleasant. You don't have to be a robot to be articulate; take Howard Stern for example: a beautifully clear and pleasant voice but retaining all the richness of his personality.
This is the BEST video about deer on a lawn I have seen ever!!
Oh, and the review on the OnePlus One is pretty good too :)
Thinking of getting one? I thinking about it.
Yeah, it's looking like a fantastic phone for people that want full customization
Not a single word spoken in this review was a waste of time. One of the best reviews if not the best.
Thanks a lot. 👍👍
Wonderful
The most customisable phone I've seen even without any development process to the phone!
Really want one. Stuck that invitation system though!
Among different tech video reviews watched this is the best in my opinion.. Excellent job and thanks a ton.
Very powerful smart phone in considerable economic price. It is simply clone of other market leading smart phone but targeting all groups/class of customers, hands up for it , I really like the key features and overall design and user interface. Good job
seems like a great phone. only problem is the lack of a removable battery ( I know this doesn't affect everybody, but it affects me)
I have never see this type of technology in a mobile device before. What an impressive phone.
FYI, those speakers are dual mono, not stereo. Even says so on the OnePlus website.
+dapster it says dual stereo on the site actually
I'm liking the motion activated controls while in lock screen like music controls and the swipe-notification bar to change brightness
Dear Detroit-Borg you make the best unboxing videos on TH-cam and everyone knows it.
getting this for Christmas and I can't wait!!! I wanted it for months. great review btw its nice knowing a lot about it before getting the phone.
Mine will be here with the mail tomorrow, and boy am I excited!!!!!
The reason why it was like a budget phone was the Software, its Cyanogen Mod and on most cases, its actually free to download on most supported phones. So the UI can might be costly.
My god I can't belive how advanced is the customization on this phone ! I have to buy this phone :)
Watching this on Tuesday, the only day you can get this
I love your Unboxing and Review of the OnePlus One. Just purchase it a day ago and is already shipped. Just waiting home fir it. You got an extra subscriber. Thanks for the info on the yellowing of the screen. Hope you add more videos about the OnePlus One.
This phone is insanely awesome! !!!
I have this phone! I'm on it right now. It is pretty old and it used to be my moms.
This phone is awsome and it has alot of awesome features( personally really like the ones when you have locked phone and you can draw for different commands)
You do the best reviews, thank you for taking the time to do these for us!
Excellent review! Best and most detailed I've seen so far! Good narrative, quality video and content! Right on the spot! Keep up the good work!
I just bought this phone from ebay today. The pricing is high but if you dont want to wait for over a month for this device I say go for it.
Really love the "profile" feature with triggers. Wish the G3 had it. Also wish the G3 had a built-in screen recording feature.
Greatest OnePlus review I have seen yet. Great job!
Where's this nice place when your cute dogs were barking on the beautiful deer ? Really I enjoyed watching this video. keep up.
That's the first time I heard someone mention the gestures when the screen is off, which is awesome! I like to have a security pin with my phones, so this would be great for not going through the pin everytime.
Just ordered this beast. So stoked.
just an amazing ui cant find it in any other company a lot of customization are going on in this phone just love it
This christmas I'm getting this, the jaybird blue buds x, and a moto 360 2nd gen :) I'm so happy
Hey Mike, I'm a Verizon customer and I was wondering if this phone would work on Verizon because I'm really looking into this phone. By the way great review, you just earned yourself another sub!
I second that, One Plus One vs LG G3! Thanks Mike!
One of the best packaging out there! Excellent phone too.
My friend told me this is the ultimate phone. I quite laugh at him before your unboxing video. I was so surprised how they change or various of function in customization. I love your video
I'm totally in love with this phone in some ways it's even better than the new iPhone or note 4!
I'm really starting to like this phone. There are so much options for customization!
Omg why is your house so beautiful?! And omg your dog's are just super cute !!! Thanks for this amazing review! I just pre-ordered the phone today. I am excited for it!
The best review so far. Thanks! I just ordered mine and this video is a GREAT tutorial. Much appreciated
I didnt notice this before but the sim ejection tool has a smile in it
whatched like 10 different reviews of this phone and one thing that no one cant seem to explain is that back case texture, you can find that same stuff from most gaming mice.
Zoey and Chloe were like "this is our turf punks!"
love your videos man. they are long but very informative. Keep up the great work!
Great video! A lot more detailed than anything I've seen this far!
Watching the entire video is well worth it when you get to the end. That last part is by far my favorite of the review.
I try to throw something in at the end to reward those who watch the whole thing :)
***** Yes, always it's a kind of nice surprise...
After watching your review(first time watching you) and also a iphone user I went and bought a(one) great phone is all I can say and at the same time got hooked on your video's
Thanks and keep it up
Such a in depth review as always great work ! I can't wait for mine to ship !
i guess you're the best reviwer of smarthphones, you say everything it needs to know about, every details and miscs. Thank you man =)
And yeeees oneplus one is the best for this price.
im a sucker for good packaging and that box is just super clean
Another really good and in-depth review of the OnePlus One Phone really appreciate the content that you create on TH-cam Mike thanks Simon!
I dunno which one is better, the fact that you have deer running around your neighborhood or the phone that you are holding in the video. Lol
Oh my god.. it's stunning. Love it and wish for it. Thank you for your full review. I feel like i'm holding the phone. Well done.
I love these kind of detailed reviews. Thanks!
I actually like this fone very much and consider moving from my iphone 5s to this but when i switched from iphone 4 to 4s to samsung s4 then back to the 5s made me realize how convenient apple is, with all the updates to software and support.

But I want my phone to last for atleast a year without having to worry if it breaks, who will repair it or will they cover it or whatever.
I like this One +1 smartphone, you are my one of best phone reviewers bless you my friend.
watching this on the day they announced the 5t crazy how much things have changed
Best detailed review than anyone else...
good job...!!
Very nice review. One of the best I've seen. No bullshitting about the invite system or the copany just discussing the devices as it should be done. I also like that you actually give a lot of tips on how to use this device. Keep up the good work!
A mini of this with an IR blaster and a fingerprint scanner would be the perfect phone for me.
By far the best review I've seen so far. Video is nice and long
Great review. Have one coming. It should be delivered tomorrow. Greatly appreciate the amount of time you spend on the the actual operation of the phone and its UI. Most reviewers just cover looks, feel, size, specs, etc. Got this review bookmarked. It is going to save me a lot of "trial and error" on the initial set up and future use.
Got mine! You can pre-order on the 27th.
The deer at the end! Awesome. :) ... great review too.
Awesome work Mike! This was the best review of the OnePlus One I've seen so far! Loved it. Keep up the good work man!
Amazing thorough review as always. Learned a lot of things. I'm running CM11 m8 with Highonandroid OnePlusOne kit on my Note 3 and i did learn from your vid. Thanks!
Pre-ordered it yesterday! :D im so excited
WOW interesting how this pre Android L cyanogenmod has some of the awesome features that Android Lolipop now has.
