Amazon and eBay are great places to purchase devices online. The Google Nexus 4 is one option: http://www.google.com/nexus/4/

The international one, because it will get software updates faster, no at&t bloatware, and you don't live in an LTE area so there shouldn't be a differencr

Hey guys,
Yesterday, a friend told me that by the beginning of June, next month, there will be a sort of a price hike, can anyone confirm this? wth

[Discussion] Any alternatives to the Nexus 4?

I'm looking for an unlocked phone that wont break the bank, had high hopes for the new 6589 phones from China but between the 2GB RAM bugs and the subpar graphical performance (wasn't expecting much from the A7 cores from the start) combined with in most cases >$230~$299 prices for some of the actually good quality units (like the UMI) make me think the N4 is still the best bang for your buck out there.
Which is kind of sad given its not that new anymore and has that pain in the ass storage handicap, but the S4 Nexus being as expensive as an iphone5 is IMHO just too much money for a phone that might at best last 2 years before its effectively obsolete.
Frankly I can't find any alternatives to the N4 at that price range, can you?

Lg optimus g. There's many variants. There at&t variant has external SD plus internal SD. The lgog n the n4 are internally the same device. The lgog just had more options

The phone can be unlocked. Any gsm phone can be unlocked. There's also a Sprint variant, 2 Canadian variants, and a Korean variant. Pick your poising n unlock it.

Take nexus 7 ..

I know it can be unlocked, but I'm stuck with contract anyway, or have to pay full price which is much higher than the N4.

stick to the N4, you can't do much better with your money, or take a look at chinese phones but obviously you won't get the same support (custom rom)

I could reccomend the HTC ONE it's almost the same price

Any idea when we can buy one?

Original Quote by OnePlus Admin Carl : 2014 Q2 Production Update Today at 9:01 PM:
When we started OnePlus, one of the first things we announced was that our product would be available internationally in Q2 2014. We're well on track of achieving that.
However, after our product announcement, we realized that far more people wanted the One than what we originally anticipated. Over the past few days, we have been frantically adjusting our production schedule to make sure that as many people possible can buy the One, as soon as possible.
In our updated plan, we prioritized for two aspects; time to market and availability of the high capacity model (in that order). We now know that people want the 64GB Sandstone Black far more than the 16GB Silk White, but we also know that more than everything, people just want to get their hands on the device as soon as possible.
What we've done is dramatically increase the amount of 64GB Sandstone Black models in our production plans, while producing 16GB Silk White as long as they don't delay the time to market for Sandstone Black.
Our production schedule is as follows:
Ready now - 100 for phone smashers
Mid to late May - Larger batch 16GB Silk White for the first batch of invites
Early June - Larger batch 64GB Sandstone Black
Later in June - Increased general availability, people who want it should be able to get an invite without much trouble in June

I think this message is clear enough and i hope it will not be delayed more to get on of this piece!!!
Cheers

By the time end of June comes around, Two months after the phone was "released" .. I'm sure there will be another phone. Sucks but I'm out. Was looking forward to the opo for a couple days haha.. But not going to wait two months

I know they don't have the manufacturing capabilities HTC but I thought their release of the m8 was fantastic. Leak the hell out of it, announce it and immediately release it. Every release should be like this imo

Pricing
Man the pricing on the One+ is great but wonder how good the company tech support will be. I'm due for a new phone but LG G3, S5 Prime and Nexus 6 right around the corner.

But if they are releasing 100 phones a week for the next 2 months it will take a year before enough devs have the phone and can do good stuff..

Yeah but LG G3 and S5 prime is going to cost 600$/euro at least(like every other their flagship). Which is 2 times more than Oneplus One. I think Nexus 6 will be released later after August but who knows...

And when would it be available in india ?

Hi Everyone, Not been here for a while, since I defected to apple... Anyway, really looking forward to this OPO, I think its going to be a turning point for some flagship market domineers.
What I'd like to know is, does anyone know which retailers or phone outlets will be selling it?

To my understanding no retailer will ever sell the one plus one. You need to buy it directly from them. Though that's at least a couple months away.

Upgrade Nexus 5 to...?

I would like to upgrade my phone soon, but with the Nexus 6 disappointment I have no idea what to. I would like at least 32gb of storage, good camera, and better battery life than the nexus 5. I was looking at the G2, but it has to have 1700/2100 AWS frequencies. Any suggestions?

Do you think there will be any in the $350 range? Other than the oneplus two.

The 2014 Moto X is a great upgrade from the Nexus 5. I have and use both, and the X is an upgrade in pretty much every way.

The N5 is a budget smartphone, and was dirt cheap for what you got. You cant expect every phone out there to follow the same pricing model. I dont know why you think it's disappointing, it's a 2014 smartphone with 2014 specs. It has the same specs as the S5, HTC One M8, G3, but better build quality and performance, and cheaper than all of them. Just wait for the sale that you mentioned, thats an amazing price. And yeah it has the same GPU as the N5 but it is clocked higher, and side by side it is noticeably faster and smoother than the N5 is.

check the new Asus Zenfone 2 (Intel Atom, 4GB RAM)
