The wait is over

Ive been debating for a couple of weeks now about getting a g pro 2. even though the phones been out for awhile the price is still up there. especially the Korean version. which is suppose to be the one to get to use in the US. Well, I couldn't hold off any longer. Ordered mines yesterday. The only thing im not happy with is the little or next none development support. I know this is a monster phone inside and out. I had the optimus g pro once. I loved the phone, but was disappointed with its support. I sold a note 3 to get this phone. everyone has a note. When you have a z ultra, and a one max the note 3 feels to small. I know the g pro 2 is going to be a nice replacement. I cant wait.

out of interest, why didn't you get the Nexus 6 instead? it's about as big, similar spec and probably will have a lot more development for it if you don't like pure google updates.

it's all about price...

You would be pretty pleased with the G Pro 2. Price is pretty affordable and knock knock code would be indispensable.
Enjoy it.

Price Factor
price is a factor. i did look at the nexus 6. i also looked at the price. i had sold a note 3 and the rest was out of pocket to get the g pro 2. if and when the price ever comes down to where the g pro 2 is now i would get one. ive never had a nexus phone because of there screen size. now put a nexus 6 at the same price that the nexus 5 came out with and im all over it. my current devices are a sony xperia z ultra, htc one max and lg g pro 2 which is being delivered as we speak.

I understand the excitement in getting a G Pro 2 but if you're one of those people that has to flash something every 20 minutes (like myself) you'll be extremely disappointed. I got so annoyed with LG putting a permanently locked bootloader on that I had to go out and buy an Xperia Z Ultra C6833 just so I could have a bit of device freedom. So if it were me, I would've kept the Note 3 or saved up for a while and buy a Nexus 6. But this is just my opinion, I know there are people that love this phone.

Would you still buy the OPO today?

My Nexus 5 is getting worse and worse by the day when it comes to battery life. I have replaced the battery and factory reset but still am struggling. Plus, I'm not overly impressed with the HTC One M9 at this point, but I realize it's not on final software yet either. The Asus Zenfone 2 is also appealing, but who knows when/if it will be released in the US.
So, if you were to buy a phone today, would you still consider the OnePlus One? I know the next variant is expected in the upcoming months but curious what you think. I like the price point, especially for the 64gb of memory, but it looks like camera quality is still hit and miss.
I appreciate your thoughts!
Update: bought one on Swappa and should be getting it on 3/20.

I just ordered mine 64GB version for 299 Eur

Hmm Nexus5 to OnePlusOne maybe last year, but this year when OnePlus Two is near i wouldn't buy OnePlusOne, but if you totally need it buy it. It is smooth and looks so awesome.

I'd still buy it in a heartbeat.

I bought a used one a few weeks ago off of swappa for $330. Came with a case and 2 glass screen protectors. Love it so far, decided to buy another used one for my GF too.

Same here. Replaced my S5 for about the same price, and would do it again in a heartbeat.

Yes!!! I'm loving everything about mine (still a new user).

Just got mine today, loving it. I'd get a one plus two if it was exactly the same as the one in every way, ie 5.5" 1080p (dont need higher), 64gb of storage, great battery life and cheap. Rumours all point to none of this, along with the 810 being a hot chip. Even the M9 is a hot running device.

I have a HTC One m8, but seeing as the M9 is disappointing and I want a new phone so I bought it today, can't wait to get it! If I don't like it, well theres always toy phones to have

Yes. Got mine few days ago. So far, it's great. Now I have both Nexus 5 32gb and OnePlus One 64gb. It's so great in such a small price tag that you won't regret even if the Two comes in few months.
So if u consider to buy a phone today, definitely go for OnePlus 1.

Thanks for all the comments! I just purchased one on Swappa, now to sit and wait.

No, I wouldn't. The missing feature of mhl makes it almost completely useless with my app radio which I used heavily with HTC one m7.

Lol I got mine 2 days ago. And I must say, pros>cons on this phone. I absolutely love it. I don't care about the customer service and that it doesn't work as quick as people would like them to work. For the price of this phone and the specs, you have no right to complain about anything tbh?

I bought one , Broke it . . Tried the OPPO FIND 7.. broke and returned that.. now i just got another ONEPLUS . Love the easy customization and the ONEPLUS ROM Scene is busy..

oneplus one will be brilliant choice!

OnePlus Without second thought.
He had everything you have in Nexus 5 and so MUCH more, plus with this price tag it's a no brainer.

Just bought one a few days ago, coming from a fairly beaten up Galaxy S3 (no screen cracks, just dinged around the edges and crashes a random app once every other week or so) one big reason I switched is that even the new batteries I bought don't seem to last long.
I got the tempered glass screen protector with it and I love that, never going back to plastic.
I was worried if it would seem too big in my pocket - I would say, the S3 is a little more comfortable to have in pocket, but the OPO is OK. I basically wear jeans every day and they're not too tight, otherwise, it could be a problem.
It feels like a good solid quality device and I'm glad it doesn't get hot running Clash of Clans the way my S3 does.

The ghost touches on this thing are driving me crazy, it's going back up on Swappa.

I wouldn't buy a phone with Snapdragon 810 so I'm not looking forward to any of the flagship (and killer) this year.

Can I ask you why?^^

[Q] To buy or not to buy?

Hey guys. Just looking for your opinions: Is the Nexus 5 a good phone to buy now? I'm upgrading from the Galaxy Nexus (Old hardware and laggy software, even on custom Roms and kernels) and looking for a cheap phone with decent internals and smooth performance. Is it a phone that is likely to last, in terms of future proofing? Is there any other decent cheap alternatives with a lightweight OS and good hardware?

My quick opinion, is that the Nexus 5 is awesome. Beautiful, fast, and great support.
I bought it 2 months ago for 215€ and I am loving it every day.
About lasting it for long, I can't really say. The battery and limited storage may be an issue on the long term (so far great on both, but non-removable and no micro-sd), but I usually change my phone about every 12-18 months, so not really a concern for me: I buy a great, "cheap" phone every year (then re-sell it to recover part), to enjoy them. And so far, I enjoy my Nexus 5 like a little boy.

Thanks very much for the reply I'm more convinced to get it now!!

I would get something with more battery life. Preferably with more than 3000mah. But you coming from a gnex, anything is an upgrade haha

It's a good moment for the Z3?

Hi all
At the moment I have a Nexus 5 and I want to change to the Z3 because the battery of my current phone is killing me (Can't reach 3H SOT).
But it's a good moment to buy the Z3? I thing that if I buy it I will have to stay with it for at least 2 years.
What do you recommend to me? Should I buy the Z3 now or I should wait to others devices to come (OnePlus Two or Nexus 5 2015)

I used to have N5 and only thing that was better is grippines. N5 rubber smooth surface made it very easy to use without case. Z3 is superior in every other ways imo. Better battery, camera, front speakers and screen was definitely worth to upgrade for me. But keep in mind that I sold N5 for 200€ and bought used Z3 for 290€.

With Z4 coming out, the price of Z3 will come down, so I think it's time to buy Z3.

New phone

So I recently decided to buy a new phone cause my nexus 5 is getting a bit sluggish and its screen is cracked. I was going to buy the 5x but then I realised it cost 480€ in Europe. Which is a bit too much. So I'm looking for a about 400€ phone which is not ugly , is quick and can be rooted stock Android is preferred. So basically a nexus phone but not a nexus phone. Thanks sorry for my bad english

nexus 6 is a nice phone, and you could likely get it cheap on swappa because its last years model.
i have a 6 and 6p, and other than the obvious spec increase of the 6p, i like the 6 better.
