Should I get the OPO, or wait for the confirmed OnePlus Two? I mean, in a blog post, 3 winners of a photo contest get hands on w/ the two in hong kong. It's coming in Q3. Should I wait? Or gun it? I am stuck w/ an apple iphone 5 so :/
You should go for it. The price doesn't get better than what it is right now, $249 for the 64GB, and $349 with one year of Dropbox Pro. Plus, I read somewhere that OP is going to use the invite system to sell the OP2, which unless you don't mind the hassle is kind of a pain in the ass. I am keeping mine until I get more details about the OP2, if it doesn't come with a fingerprint support, I will probably move to next Nexus 6, but keep the OPO as my back up phone.

If I was faced with the same decision I'd still buy the OnePlus One now. It's cheap, you don't need an invite anymore, and it's a beast of a phone. The OnePlus Two isn't going to be as cheap, and they'll be reverting to the invite system again.

Yup, just go for it, considering the price.
I just received mine Saturday & I tell you the truth, I am very satisfied even after ditching my HTC One. I enjoy everything about this device & it sure is a beast indeed. Go for it, you won't regret it.

It's hard to know to be honest... I've had the OPO since July of last year and, as everyone in this thread has said, it's an amazing phone, and that doesn't even include the price. I would say it depends on what you're interested in. If you like having the 'latest and greatest' phone with the newest CPU / GPU and most RAM (like me ) etc, I'd wait. But if you just want a great phone that will be able to run the next few versions of Android and all the apps in the world (minus some future games that require OpenGL ES 3.1 or something, but that's a good way off yet!) and has a great community to back that up (even when OnePlus leave it behind), as well as an amazing price, I'd go for it.
Had the same kinda question facing me. Stick with my Nexus 5 until the end of the year when the OP2 or new Nexus' are out, or go for the OPO.
Went for the OPO. Blows my N5 out of the water and will take me until the end of the year. If the phones i mentioned above are too expensive I'm happy keeping the OPO into next year.
Helps i got £100 for my N5.
Feels like such a premium phone. Took it to work on Friday and people were amazed that it cost so little.
Still a fantastic phone for the price had mine well over a year and still going strong was considering upgrading this month but I am sticking with the OPO for longer. It does everything I need on a phone the screen is still good, battery life is excellent, takes decent daylight photos and is fluid on CM12.1.

Hey guys, this seems like the most relevant thread to post in, but I agree with some of the previous comments, I really like the specs on the OPO, I currently have an HTC M8, with the same chipset, which runs phenomenal, however AOSP ROMS aren't the best for HTC Devices, they've always suffered from a lot of bugs, and GPE support has started to lag behind with the M9 being out.
I just purchased a 64gb model and am anxiously awaiting for it to arrive. My question is, how is the overall build quality of this device? I wasn't impressed with the N5 build quality and from videos and pics, this phone looks solid, but I've read about numerous users complaining about touch screen issues. Is this phone pretty solid? And how are AOSP ROMS on this device? Pretty bug free? Thanks!

If you are waiting for Google Play Store, please don't wait for them. The best you can do is get free shipping or playstore credit. For retail, the price starts to come down after a few months. If it is close to Christmas, Easter or any major holidays then there are great deals to be taken.
On a new device like this, Google doesn't usually reduce the price. They may offer additional incentives for the holiday season, such as Play Store credit, free shipping, etc., but that's about it. The price won't be reduced until just before the next nexus phone is released, probably 4th quarter 2014. Of course, there's always the possibility of some crazy event affecting the norm... but I wouldn't count on it.
Phone is already cheap for what you get. Check out the Moto G for $200.

on sale!!?? just like the other user said the moto g mite be the phone for u.. the N5 is already crazy cheap for what u get.. do be honest one of the main reasons i got the n5 is the development it gets.. this is my first nexus phone and i love it.. i have had some many top of the line phone in the past 3 years and none of them come close to the love this phone gets.. i will never get another htc one.. or a galaxy phone again... im sticking with nexus:good:
I am fine with paying $349.That is a great price for the phone. What I am trying to decide is whether to purchase it now or wait for February when I will actually get to use the phone. I want to purchase it now, so that I can have it already. However, if it it might get reduced between now and then, it would be wise to wait. In the past have the prices stayed constant until the new model came out?

I'm done with Galaxy phones too. I booted up my S4 today to update it to the new MK2 OTA update because I'm getting it ready to sell. After a few weeks with my N5 I had already forgotten what a pain in the a$$ Knox is. Never again!
Im in the hunt for a new phone. Ive been thinking about buying the new Z3 Compact when its launched but I cannot stand the modified android version the different manufacturers are using, I HAVE to run vanilla or close to it. I know I could root any phone and install stock android on it but im not sure if its worth the hassle for me considering it takes time to make a stable rom etc.
The perfect phone would be a smaller Nexus 5 in my mind, good usability in one hand and fast updates. I guess it wont exist in the near future tho?
Is it a smart decision to buy the Nexus 5 today?
Get one. If you don't like it you can return it. Only you can decide if you like the N5

Get it and start having a great time with the Nexus5 on XDA!
I have owned every nexus made and the nexus 5 is an amazing device. I highly recommend it

Different colours for different schmullers. Pick whats best for you. This also goes for custom roms. Dont ask us when you get it what rom you should use. Please just make up your own mind.
You have had help deciding whether or not to get the nexus 5 I think it is best you decide which color you like when you get to the store or if your purchasing online then look at the colors there. The color part isn't much of a big deal and mainly comes down to personal preference. So I think it would be best for you to decide on your own

I was about a day away from upgrading my AT&T Samsung GS3 to the LG G3 until I heard whispers of the updated Prime being released for the US at the Berlin IFA show. Anyone else hear anything else more substantial about it? Best Buy has the G3s on sale for $99 right now but if the phone is going to get a prime version I'd rather wait for that to see what they update....
Every phone will eventually be replaced by better version. If you are going to always wait like this you are going to have bad time.

Honestly this phone has everything i need, honestly a phone with more power right now is a bit overkill cause i don't think there is an app in which you need all of this processing power but if you haven't upgraded yet and you can wait until it comes out then more power to you cause i can tell you that this phone is awesome and with more speed it will feel better if not the same, but a newer phone might also mean that the bootloader unlock will take longer to achieve and root to cause they might fix everything that was good to exploit right now we are looking close to bootloader unlock or at least there is solid progress, but it's your pick man get an awesome phone at a discount or get the same phone with a bit more power at a later date at a more expensive price
Sent from my LG-D850 using XDA Free mobile app
I disagree with some of these statements.
First you have to ask yourself, what will you get out of a new device which your not getting in your current one?
Now that you've answered this, browse the phones that meet these prerequisites.
Read reviews, see which one has better res., faster processor, whatever meets YOUR needs, not necessarily the markets.
Look at the manufacturors' credentials to get a feel for how well they provide things like updates, support, etc.
Once you've made a decision, go for it. I came from the S4 to this since I bricked it... but typically I will wait a processor generation(1-2 years). Went from having a single core, to dual core, quad core, but f*ed up my phone, so I got a beefed up quad that was appeasing.
WHAT ARE YOUR NEEDS is my main point, sometimes there is never enough processing power for someone who has 5 email accounts, all of the common social networking apps && a high-process running launcher. It all depends on what you do with your device, but 3-6 months after the release of the first generation processor of it's kind is my rule of thumb...
My personal opinion & 2 cents worth. If I knew there was a prime coming out in two weeks from the day I was about to get this phone, I would hold out as well lol
Lol well i just bought the phone and im not up for renewal until 2 years again so i have to stick with this amazing LG G3 regardless .
Pulled the trigger on the G3 and I'm definitely happy with the phone. Especially since it was only 50 bucks with the best buy sale and a gift card. Love it so far.

Personally, I think you made a sound choice. From what I've been able to gather, the only difference in the Prime version, if it is even made available in the US, is that it will have an 805 processor. It was designed for the markets that use the cat6 lte band, which the US doesn't have. The 805 is supposed to have a better and more efficient graphics processor, but that doesn't mean a whole lot to me be a use I don't do much gaming. You might see a slight bump in performance and battery life, but we're probably still months away from seeing it in the states. By that time, the G4 will already be close, as well as devices with the 810 (I saw an article about it on DL today). I'm perfectly happy with the G3, and once the bootloader is unlocked (which appears to be soon, according to posts in the Bounty threads), I will be entertained for several months until we see the next gen devices.

Agreed. Don't get caught up in semi generational devices. You don't get your $'s worth, your off meaningful product cycles, and frankly creating a satisfaction hole you will never fill.

There is no reason for LG to release it in the US. When it was released LG said they have no plans to have it outside of Korea. I think it should come to the US but I don't think it will. I have one coming from Korea in a few days which is what you should do if you want one. Also if you order it from Korea you get a spare battery, battery charger and headphones with the phone.
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!

Also vote for staying on KK, Lollipop the battery drain like nobody business. (Stock CM12S/CM12.1, Stock Kernel too)

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.

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.

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.

Here I am sitting on the fence with my trusty note 2 waiting and watching for a release that will make the decision for me.
I'm not ashamed to admit that a little squeal escaped when I saw the removable battery and SD slot in the release video!
I hope this one is a good one! It sure looks promising to me!

Thank you LG for doing what Samsung couldn't. They still care about power users. Will be upgrading my Note 4 on release.
heh, i think the note 4 has better battery life than this thing. even the g4 will have better battery.
video kills battery like nobody's business. was listening to a reviewer say he flattened the battery on the g4 within an hour of 4k recording. you cant record an hour of 4k but take many 4k clips and see how long it lasts.
I expect sd card to make a return with next years samsungs. replaceable battery, however ? hmm...that is not clear.
If this comes out on Sprint.... Bye Bye Note 3.

Does the g4 have aosp roms? I have to have root and be stock Android. The shaky video really turned me off but I barely record video anyways. I'm a huge Nexus fanboy too.

I'm still using the G3, I'm not sure about the G4, though. I'm a huge Nexus fan, but I absolutely have to record videos of my 4 year old while he can still walk and play, in a few more years we're only going to have these memories and the V10 seems to be the cream of the crop in the video recording department.
I really do think that I'm going to have to buy this phone on Friday.
I've been obsessing in the 6p forum for weeks reading everything I can trying to decide between the 2.
Really the only thing holding me back is "do i want to try the nexus experience? Or do I want to be stuck in carrier update limbo land?"
But seriously, I'm on a note 2 running 4.1.2. I'm scared of updates. Maybe hanging out in LG land will be fine....
And... What a deal!
(might be jealous of those front facing speakers though...)

I have a note 2 also, finaly going to upgrade to this phone. I was able to play with the v10 in the store today. Over my note 2 omg. First phone I've messed With in the store that I felt was better than what I have. By a long margin

I'm glad to hear this. I preordered my Note 2 and it's been the greatest phone I've ever had. I've had 2 phones since that I returned in favor of keeping it. Unfortunately, I broke it a few days ago, and I'm having trouble moving on, as opposed to repairing it yet again.
I too was very interested in the N6P. But this phone came to us like sent from above... I can't think of a single thing this device doesn't have!!! We talk about the perfect phone every time a new device leaks. This one might be the closest thing to it in my opinion, and based on specs alone. . .
The only thing I think stopping people on this forum is the root aspect of things and will the bootloader unlocked. Regardless. This phone is going to be fantastic. Cannot wait to pick one up.

LG is probably one of the best when it comes to trying to push updates quickly on their flagships. The carriers still take a little bit of time, but they're the first to announce lollipop update (G3) and first to announce marshmallow update (G4). So if you were to pick anything besides a nexus, LG would be best (they do make a few Nexus devices after all).

Well ... I did it! Had to go to 2 stores before I found it.
I have it in hand and so far I'm liking it!
It was so hard to desert my Note 2. I have phone attachment issues. When I turned off my Note 2 to move the sd card I started thinking too much. I felt so guilty. I looked down and the screen said it's "goodbye" message and I teared up! In. The. Store
So embarassing.

P.S. I'm testing it out this weekend on a road trip to the mountains. I'm hoping to get some nice fall color pictures. I can't believe I'm going to carry a brand new naked phone around for 2 days but there was no time to get a case anywhere and I wasn't going to spend 29.99 on the one at T-Mobile so...

Had the same feeling coming from my 3.5 year old galaxy S3 with OctOS. I'll forever have fond memories of all the Verizon peeps freaking out because it was the only carrier to lock the bootloader, then watching the forum posts pile up as Adam Outler cracked it open like the boss he is/was.
Just my .02 on the V10.. Love the feel/durability, love the screen, love the camera, love the $50 G-pad promo from verizon paired with the 200gb mSD and extra battery promo from LG.. HATE stock android!! So much.. I forgot how much bloat and garbage they can put a phone before the customer ever does anything with it and how little you can actually mess with the device. If there is ever a verizon bootloader bounty, I will be contributing.

This is the best post I've read on XDA in a long time hahahaha. I can picture it now:
You: Hi, I'm picking up the new LG V10 today, do you have it in stock?
Rep: Yes, we just got the shipment for them this afternoon!
You: Great! I would like one please.
Rep: Sure thing, what phone are you coming from?
You: The Galaxy Note II... *pauses to think about the memories from owning a phone for ~3 years* It's my friend. My best friend. My lover.
Rep: .....Let me get the phone for you.
You: *begins to power off phone, the iconic DOO doo DOO doo doooo T-Mobile chime plays, followed by Goodbye!*
NooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooo!
Sorry for the seriously OT post, made me laugh way harder than it should've.
I didn't even think I wanted or needed to update my Nexus 4, but this promo is way too good. I'll be getting the phone today, hoping that LG hasn't run out of batteries and SD cards by the time I submit the request.
Stupid LG, making me spend money when my phone still works, but man am I looking forward to getting the phone tonight.
