[Q] [IND] OnePlus One VS Note 3 Neo

Hey fellas,
I have receantly lost my phone and looking for an upgrade at first I was inclined to Note 3 neo but after seeing the amazing performance and beautiful desin of Oneplus One I changed my mind. Though One is way better than neo in every aspect in design, in performance...
There's just one thing that bugs me as OnePlus is a new company on the other hand we have samsung who is well known for there customer support.... What about customer support from OnePlus??
What happens If I drop my phone and want to replace my screen??
What happens if My speakers stop working??
What happens if anything go wrong???
As there's nothing from even the company about there customer service It really bugs me. Plus they are shiping the device in a bubble wrap with a USB chord
I'm from INDIA and I would like to know what you people think of the customer support... Though It comes with no warrenty but still there must be a place where I could get me device repair....

OnePlus is actually a wholly-owned subsidiary of Oppo, which is a large company (Oppo owns them, but they operate as their own company).
Plus they are shiping the device in a bubble wrap with a USB chord

These were pre-production models that were given away (or rather, sold for $1) as part of their Smash (or donate) The Past promotion. The retail packaging and accessories hadn't been made yet, so rather than making the winners wait, they sent the phones with a USB cord and a note (and email) saying that all that stuff will be sent later.
Here's what the retail packaging will look like:

Why do you think there won't be a warranty?

I just guessed as OnePlus is a new company and isn't well settled in the market so there's no way they will have customer centers everywhere and hence they wont globally provide warranty...

Samsung's support in India isn't exactly notorious for being stellar either.
Plus if you're asking here, you're likely a fan of customization of your device. Since it's Exynos-based, expect the Note 3 Neo to have little to no community development.

Yes your's right there wont be much of development on Exynos. I'm getting One 64 giggs once it is out. My only question was about the customer support or if they wont give any support its fine with me...

Still worth it NOW?

Hello,
I had a Xperia Z1 before and it had some problems so I sent it to Sony just a week ago and they are going to destroy the phone and leave me with nothing (unless i pay, then i get the broken device back) so I'm looking for a new phone just after 3 months :/ The oneplus two seems nice but I don't really want to spend 400 bucks on a phone as i'm only 16 years old and don't have the money for it yet! I can get the 16gb model but my music library is about that size lol! The oneplus one seems nice but I'm not exactly sure if I should buy it or not as I've seen people post stuff about messy touch screens which is a problem I really don't want!
Has this been fixed in recent updates and is this still a good phone to get for 300 bucks(64gb)?
Thanks in advance!

The truth is most people don't have any issues with this device, no matter how hard the haters try to say otherwise. It's still a good buy.

Touchscreen issues have been fixed, only bad thing is that with the latest Android L, the battery isn't so good but it's possible to downgrade to kitkat.

Mentioned touch screen issues were with initial lot.. The new devices don't have any problems..
OPO is well worth the money..
Only advice would be not to upgrade to 5.1 and continue using it on 4.4..for the sake of battery of course.. [emoji56]

Yup, there's no problem with it, I got one bought in January till now and it has no issues at all, no yellow tint or touch problem. Previously I got 1 early China batch one it indeed has yellow tint, but it doesn't as annoying or visible as you think.
Also vote for staying on KK, Lollipop the battery drain like nobody business. (Stock CM12S/CM12.1, Stock Kernel too)

go ahead n buy... no device has comecloser for me in terms of value for money!! no issues left now
hopefully android m will end battery problems as well!!

Alrighty then, the device is 300 euros in Europe and that's a steal! Do you guys happen to know when they will stop selling the one to estimate how much time I have left to buy one?

I don't think they'll stop the sales anytime sooner. The phone is selling a lot even now, after a year of it's release. So take your time.

I'm sorry I didn't see the date of your query, but You will not find a better phone for the money. I won't ask how they managed to refuse to warranty the phone, but that is a shame. Hopefully you can save up some money and get one.

Hi. im also planning to trade my G3 for this device, im worried of my G3 that the crack issue will occur soon so I think of trading it for the 1+1.
is it worth it?

Yes its totally worth it. I bought my g3 in January of this year and as days pass by I started hating it. There was barely any development, the battery didn't last long,and it got pretty warm after sometime. I trade it for a one plus one and I'm not regretting it whatsoever I mean it doesn't have the fancy features like the g3 but the only thing I used on my g3 was the radio sometimes and rarely the ir blaster.

Its still a decent device, although I'm keeping an eye on the ZUK Z1 which has been announced for international release to day (available October), with Cyanogen OS. Its basically shares many of the same internal hardware with the OPO, but has some additional features like OIS, dual SIM, finger print scanner, USB Type C, bigger battery, (arguably) nicer build materials.

Oh, they're also working on a ZUK 2 for January! Featuring the Snapdragon 820..

I sold my 64gb One Plus One (only had it for a few months, got it after the invite system went away) to fund a One Plus Two but ultimately decided to get a Mi Note instead. Love it; far happier than I was with the One. The One had ghost touches, yellowing screen, crap and a half camera (who cares about 4K if HD and FHD still look bad) and horrible onboard sound quality. The Mi is fantastic. Giant LCD (I'm 6'6" so this is a plus), OIS camera, best audio DAC I've ever hear on a phone. And I really like MIUI. One Plus MIUI is broken.
The only downside is shipping from China, but mine arrived no problem (15 days, most of those spent in some sort of customs). 16GB are roughly the same, 64GB Mi Note is cheaper than comparable OP2.

Answer to your title: No! You can find better devices with the same money.

I just got my OPO for 2 weeks.
It has yellowish band on bottom screen.
But overall I satisfy this phone. (especially I am a flashaholic user.)

I heard that band issue can be fixed by using it in the sun or putting it under some UV light, so if I have it I'll try that

To be honest, I'd take the Moto x Style or Moto x Play. With the new style center from Motorola and the 20 mp camera on the Play edition, it really stands out and may even be better then the 1+2.

In my country, the moto x style is 500 euros which is well over my budget since I wasn't planning to buy a new phone any time soon!

you mean 380 euro in your country look at coolbue.nl, the moto x play is there for 379,-

You're right about the style edition by the way, that one is 500 euros

Coming from two LG G2, looking for a low-maintenance easy going >$100 phone

Hi guys and gals,
I'm at my second LG G2 since end 2015. Both phones let me down with their screens being jumpy and having ghost touch issues... I can't take it anymore.
Could you recommend to me a good reliable old model you loved I can buy for > $100?
I'd like something with a past and may be still active community base, coupled with having some good custom ROMs, battery life and decent speed for multitasking but no games. In OS terms, it's KitKat or Nougat. I can't stand Lollipop.
Like everyone, I dislike mostly UI lag and a temperamental brat. Open-minded and low-maintenance and easy going is definitely my type.
You saw my previous choices for the G2 despite its age so I think you'll understand where my preference goes.
I'm in France thus old models are still expensive compared to other parts of the world.
Oh and to add to the difficulty of the task, I don't have a computer anymore and can't afford to buy one for a foreseeable future, all the cooking has to be done without one obviously.
After reading this you probably think I should get a third G2...???
I hope I haven't forgotten any relevant piece of information. Thanks.

Lol, have a bricked G2 that has the same issue bud, that sh*t was annoying!!!
My advice? Nexus 5 was $99
OnePlusOne or 2 maybe,
Htc m7 or if you find an m8 that is quite a stable device in my experience ,
Hope that gives ya a few ideas to play with.

Yes. That'll teach me to think probability theory and for being stubborn.
Nexus 5. I couldn't find one at the price you mentioned. I only have access to eBay, Amazon being somewhat erratic about international shipping availability.
OnePlus One. That one had my preference however it's out of my league price wise.
HTC M7 or M8. I'll have a look. Thanks for the suggestions.

Going to upgrade; Need some advice

The OPO is getting old now, I've had my 3years worth and loved it despite the issues I've faced!
However it's time to upgrade (new job, more money )
I'm in the mix between ;
Pixel 1 XL - £400 (Really like this phone, although the age is putting me off SLIGHTLY due to not going to get many official updates)
Pixel 2 - £630 (Quite a bit expensive, will leave me quite skint but possibly worth it; I want this device the most)
LG G6 - £400ish? £500 with a floating LG speaker (I REALLY like this device, especially for the money but the skin and delay in updates will probably make me ill lol)
Oneplus 5 8GB ram - £450 (student discount) (obviously this looks like the no brainer but i KNOW the jelly effect will really get to me, in nearly every review of it on youtube i notice it when they scroll; no one can change my mind about this but I've added it to see if theres yet a fix for it? or is there going to be one? I havent seen anything about it?)
;
And these are the phones, can anybody steer me into the right way? I honestly cannot decide, and my mind hasnt been made so I'm not biased against any however I'm least keen about the OP5.

I wouldn't choose them sort of phones anyway mate due to the inconvenience such as; they'd be imported, wouldnt have good support if anything was to happen and the sites selling the xiaomis at least havent had the best reviews.
The phones i suggested i can buy in town without hesitation, even the Oneplus 5 due to being in the UK and o2 selling oneplus products
I just want something that works, is great all round and smooth. (and something i'm able to flaunt to ALL of my iPhone friends that claim Android is for 'tramps and emo geeks' hahah )

Well I was going to get the honor when it was just out as my dad asked if i wanted to get it off him and swap him for my opo with some money on top but the software is a big killer, possibly THEA worst android skin on a mainstream phone. The look, the feel and everything is clunky and pretty fairly disgusting.
I dont think theres any other phone on the market I'd have other than i've stated, I really like the Moto Z but I can't find it for sale in the UK (reasonably priced anyway), Also like Sony xperia phones but again, they're too expensive for what they are. The new HTC u11 is £600 so again, too expensive all considering.

New Phone ?!!

Hi,
The Oneplus One was a great phone, it's been almost 4 years but it's the end, I broke it, the screen and the camera ... broken, the screen isn't responding anymore, the frame all around is in bad shape too .... I took care of it, there was no scratch, but i broke it at work trying to fix desk -_-
First of all I want to thanks the xda Oneplus One community, it's been fun ... Cyanogen 4.4 KitKat to Android Oreo 8.1 Always someone to help, with developers who do their utmost to give us the best :good: .
I'm actually using my old Nexus 4 for now but i'm thinking to buy the Xiaomi Redmi 5 plus.
Do you guys have a suggestion for a new phone that I can buy ??? (The Oneplus Five is too expensive for me unfortunately )
PS: English is not my native language, sorry for any spelling mistakes
PS: Just realized i'm in the wrong section -_- should be in "ONE Q&A, HELP & TROUBLESHOOTING", Sorry about that

hi,
i had a oneplus one too until recently, i got a xiaomi mi a1. i can recommend it!

Hello,
I have the oneplus one from 4 year old too and it work perfectly (never change any parts).
I think change for the new oneplus six, but seriously I don't need more, the one is good for me.
Big thanks to the xda community, for developers, this smartphone survive a long time.

I've considered changing too, but I finally decided to keep my one a couple of years more (if possible). This said, right now I would pick Redmi 5 Plus in the lower tier, Nokia 7 Plus in the middle one or LG v30 as top device at a good price.
Good luck with your choice, but keep in mind nothing will actually replace your One. It was like the girl of your like ??

Budget phone definitely Xiaomi Mi A1
I would recommend Xiaomi mi6 or if you can wait for mi7 (This would be my choises if my bacon got rotten)

Both the parts(screen and camera) are available on eBay. Replace yourself and bring your OPO back to life. Anyway,going for Redmi Note 5(3gb variant) or Redmi Note 5 Pro would be a better choice than Redmi 5 Plus.The former one costs just a little over Redmi 5 Plus.

I'm quite interested in MiA1 or maybe Nokia 6 2018

I'm still using my OPO sinc oct 2014, even if i dropped it in the water( only the front camera broke, even after changing it iti didnt get fixed, maybe it's something else like the connector or a resistance ...) and i was planning to change it for the 1+6 but after seeing it will have a notch i changed my mind and i hope my opo will survive another 2 years lool because sincerly it's a beast, if i compare it to phones from the same year( Z2, S5, M8) it's the only one who is still working perfectly and smoothly( i see my friends whith the phones i'vve mentionned strugling lol), thanks to this incredibly community, so i hope i don't brake it or get stolen or brake itself for another 2 years, but for you what can i say, cant' you for exemple find a used 3T?? it's a very good phone even if it's not the new one

The great thing about Oneplus One has been the developer community which has been keeping the phone after so many years.
Does any current phone has such a developer community?
Xiaomi note 5 pro is a good budget phone with good camera.Heard Mi A2 is expected to launch next month but has a less battery and may not have support of Google.

Essential phone has been on sale in various countries.. check it out.
I would highly suggest Nokia phones otherwise.. budget + fastest updates after Google pixel series of course.

Nokia would have been a very good choice only if they allowed unlocking bootloader and released kernel sources of all their devices.
Source - https://www.xda-developers.com/hmd-global-kernel-sources-bootloader-unlocking/
They released kernel sources for a few devices but still no official way to unlock bootloader.
