I see a lot of reviews of the OnePlus One. Reviews with no ******* class, so here you go. I am not a professional writer, I am just a mortal man. So if you see any typos, poor grammar, etc, keep that shit to yourself *******. If you cant handle the language, I am ******* SORRY!
Overview:
My OnePlus is about a week old, and its ******* fantastic! At $350, this 64GB superphone is a ******* steal!
Build Quality & Design Shit 9/10
The One's build quality rivals that of the big assholes (Samsung, Apple, HTC, etc.) The phones construction is about as solid as it comes. There is no give/wiggle to anything, the textured back feels amazing and very premium. The metal lip around the edges add a nice touch, if your into that kind of shit. The only thing I do not like about the design is the placement of the camera.
When the OPO is lying flat on it back, the only thing that touches the surface, is the textured back and the ******* camera bezel. Minor design flaw, but annoying. Solution, get a god damn case, and quit being such a reckless little shit. Same goes for the screen, if you lay the phone screen side down, on a sidewalk, at the beach, etc. You're a ******* idiot. There is virtually no lip separating the screen face from the body.
The power button and volume rocker are both very tiny relative to the phone. But they do have a nice tactile feel when using them. If you can ******* find them. The buttons only protrude about 1 mm (I don't know exactly) from the sides of the phone. Making them quite difficult to find. However, luckily the power button isn't as necessary considering the OPO has a tap to wake screen option, much like that LG G2/3 piece of shit.
Overall the design is understated and very simple. The front of the phone is a solid piece of glass and is very sexy, void of any logos reminding you who your daddy is. This should be law.
Software and Performance 10/10
I wont go too far into Cyanogen mod, but if you have no idea what it is, what the **** are you doing here? Look it up now, go no further. If you need more info, use that ******* magnifying glass thing in the upper right hand corner.
Coming from a Nexus 5, I am a huge fan of stock Android. I usually enjoy the stock experience for a little while before I decide to root and unlock my devices, I get bored very quickly (thus this shitty review). With Cyanogenmod, you get the best of both worlds. Even though the OPO does not come with an unlocked bootloader and is not rooted straight from the factory, the level of customization is unparalleled compared to the rest of the smartphone world. For most people, there probably isn't much need to root or unlock. You can basically experience the benefits of rooting, unlocking, and customs ROM's with having to do anything. Good for those folks who have always had a stock phone or who have always been too afraid to dabble with their "precious".
Performance wise, the OnePlus One is a ******* rocket ship. The Snapdragon 801 processor makes Cyanogen mod it's *****. It is fastest phone I have ever owned (duh). Benchmarks are through the roof, for $350 you will not get a faster device. My Antutu score was around 37500! The only slowdowns I have had can mostly be attributed to bugs and shit that CM is currently working on fixing. For those that tinker and want to unlock the full potential of their device, unlocking the bootloader and rooting are god damn child's and can easily be done by a noob. Not to mention the fact that unlocking and rooting WILL NOT void your warranty. So mod away you daring son of a *****.
Display 9/10
Now, onto the topic of so much controversy. Many would say that OnePlus really dropped the ball here. I own a yellow band phone, there is a definite yellowish band near the bottom of the display. Some yellowing cases may be worse than others, but I find that in my case, the yellowing is not a very big deal and can easily be overlooked. But that will not stop crybabies from bitching that the OPO isn't 100% perfection. The RMA process looks like it is a major pain in the fuckin ***, so I don't see the point. Not to mention the fact that RMAing the OPO is expensive as hell and would require me to get a temporary phone while OP works on the OPO. So **** that. Time will tell if this problem will simply go away or if this is something we will need to live with for the duration of out OPO ownership. Screen score would be 10/10, but I got to take some shit off for the yellowing issue.
Yellowing bullshit aside, the screen is the tits, no other way to put it. 1080P resolution is perfectly fine for my eyes, I have near perfect vision, and I cannot see any pixelation from a normal distance, about an arms length away. 1440P would be great for the OnePlus Two, but 1080 is just fine. Details are extremely crisp, pictures and videos look amazing. Outside, the screen is certainly usable, a lot better than my old Nexus 5. Viewing angles are as good as you can get, content is view-able from basically any angle below 180°.
The touch sensitivity, can be a pain in the ***. This probably falls more into the software category, but then I would have to copy and paste this paragraph, and I am way to fuckin lazy for that. I have noticed that the screen can be quite sensitive if you do not apply perfect direct pressure. Like when you drag your finger across the screen and it registers that you tapped the screen and the some bullshit opens you didn't want to open. The touch gestures also need alot of work. I have turned off all touch gestures because that shit would always go off in my pocket, or by just grabbing the phone out of my pocket. I still leave tap to wake turned on. But this causes a problem with the lock screen. After waking the phone, the lock slider rarely ever works on first contact. You either have to wait for a second or double tap the lock icon to unlock the phone. I hear all of this shit is software related, so lets hope they get an update out quickly.
time!
