Features of OnePlus One

In other words, OnePlus officially lowered the cost OnePlus One with 16 GB of internal memory up to 249 euros against the previous figure of 299 euros. And the machine with 64 GB of onboard memory will cost users 299 euros. The company attributed these decline smartphone prices decline in production costs and a decrease in the value of the components of the smartphone. But it is obvious that it is not the last role was played by the announcement of a series of flagship smartphones from other manufacturers. And as rumors of imminent successor OnePlus One.

At the same time, OnePlus announced an agreement with Dropbox. In which buyers OnePlus One, will be able to purchase an annual subscription to Dropbox Pro for only $ 50. And I must say, this is a very good offer, given that the monthly fee for using the service is $ 10.

Recall that the heart OnePlus One is the hardware platform Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 (8974AC) with quad-core Krait 400 clocked at 2.5 GHz. Size operational LPDDR3 your smartphone up to 3 GB.

It’s safe to say that for the advanced user the possibility of firmware is one of the important factors when choosing a smartphone. Under the cut we will select smartphones for which it was issued the highest number of alternative firmware.

In order to vary the material from each producer was chosen for the same device, or half the rated bold line would occupy smartphones Nexus, which would be obvious and too boring. This post is intended to show that the creators of alternative firmware are interested not only smartphones, out-of-wing Google, but devices designed other brands.

The key in the rating is the number of alternative (custom) firmware released for one or another smartphone. I think you will agree with me when I say that the most accurate information of this kind has a forum XDA-Developers – from there were taken figures that have become crucial for our members. Also consider their support for developers of such popular firmware as CyanogenMod, Paranoid Android, LiquidSmooth, SlimROM, BlissPop and others.

Oppo Find 5

Proprietary firmware Chinese smartphone now on everyone’s lips. ColorOS from Oppo, FlymeOS from MEIZU and from Xiaomi MIUI on their devices installed even owners of Nexus. But to install CyanogenMod on Chinese smartphone or the same Paranoid Android (we are talking about the official builds) were obtained in very rare cases. Of all the different phones Xiaomi team CyanogenMod officially supports only Mi2 (S), of MEIZU they do not want to hear. The only exceptions are smartphones and Oppo OnePlus, which here and there slip in the list of supported devices, alternative firmware.

The most popular smartphone Oppo be called Find 5. The forum XDA-Developers for the Find 5 is available only 12 alternative firmware. However, having dug deeper to Find 5 can be found MIUI, and Smartisan OS, and OmniROM, and as many as six Lollipop-assemblies (among which is CyanogenMod, MoKee OpenSource Project and LiquidSmooth).

OnePlus One

Interestingly, only one smartphone from our list was released in the past, in 2014, the rest – in 2013 and even earlier. Of course, waiting for alternative firmware in the flagships of 2014 was relatively less time, but the trend is that the model 2013 issue like romodelam more noticeable. Exceptions can only be HTC One (M8), which still lags behind the M7, and Nexus 6, which this year is likely to catch up.

OnePlus One is precisely thereby smartphone 2014 issue, which the creators of custom firmware is not bypassed. This is understandable, because even out of the box OnePlus One comes with a special version of CyanogenMod. According to the forum XDA-Developers, on the smartphone you can install 47 alternative firmware. Anyway, if earlier when creating firmware based on Android was considered good manners to support Nexus-smartphones, today to this rule can safely add support for devices OnePlus, what we actually observe.

Sony Xperia Z1

Sony is known for its loyalty to the developers of alternative firmware, they, in turn, respond to it in kind. The dedicated website regularly puts Sony firmware source code of their devices. At the end of November last year, the company even posted the source code AOSP Lollipop-assemblies for their latest smartphones. One of these smart phones has become a favorite for a long time romodelam Xperia Z1. On XDA-Developers for Sony Xperia Z1 can be found 73 firmware. Among them will CyanogenMod, and Paranoid Android, and PAC-man ROM, and LiquidSmooth, and SlimROM.

Moto G

It would seem, Motorola on this list should represent the public’s favorite Moto X, but it is not. If 4PDA number of firmware for Moto X and Moto G is approximately the same, at the XDA-Developers situation is quite different – from 17 to 78 Moto X at the Moto G. Among these 78 firmware can be found even such things as Firefox OS and FlymeOS.

HTC One (M7)

M7 old man still on horseback. And let him back in full breathing M8 (65 firmware vs. 79), he is doing well. Just like Sony, HTC is known for its loyalty to the developers. The site HTCdev can find the source code firmware smartphones HTC, and tools to unlock their bootloaders. And HTC One (M7), and HTC One (M8) participate in the program Google Play Edition, which, again, favorably affects the development of custom firmware for them.

LG G2

In 2013, LG has managed to present an extremely successful leader of a capacious battery, excellent display with narrow frames and a good camera. Custom firmware did not take long to wait. For LG G2 them have as many as 80. Among the users of G2 popular custom bikes on the basis of the original firmware, and on the basis of pure Android. The latter, by the way, a lot of presents. Almost every more or less large development team supports LG G2. For this smartphone released LiquidSmooth, CyanogenMod 12, BlissPop, SlimLP, OmniRom and others.

Google Nexus 5

Truly “People» Nexus, which is thousands of enthusiasts around the world day and night tirelessly stitch has been for almost a half years. Like any other Nexus-smartphone, after his announcement Nexus 5 was doomed to the emergence of dozens of alternative firmware. At the moment, they number 105. As I wrote above, when creating a custom firmware based on Android support for Nexus 5 is good manners, so rest assured – all that will come up romodely, the first step will be implemented on this smartphone. C on the other hand, it is necessary to accept the fact that soon will receive laurels Nexus 5 Nexus 6, and our favorite sink into oblivion, which, however, in any case inevitable.

Samsung Galaxy S4

Honestly, presenting this ranking, I could not imagine that any Samsung smartphone will be able to get around in it Nexus 5. But it is true. Today at XDA-Developers has 160 firmware for this smartphone. How did it happen? I am inclined to think that such a number of alternative firmware for Galaxy S4 is explained on the basis of custom bikes as the original firmware Samsung, and on the basis of pure Android. Add this to Google Play Edition-version of the smartphone with not the most powerful, yet Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 and get almost ideal conditions for the emergence of custom bikes.

HTC HD2

Without exaggeration, the legendary machine rightly occupies the top spot in our ranking. It seems that enthusiasts were able to run on it all, except, perhaps, Falcon 9. Out of the box HTC HD2 or HTC Leo is running the operating system Windows Mobile 6.5 Professional, seasoned with a proprietary shell HTC Sense. By the way, he was released more than five (!) Years ago.

Ported to the HTC HD2 Android, Windows Phone 7, Windows Phone 8, Windows RT, Ubuntu, Ubuntu Phone, MeeGo and Firefox OS. Ported firmware update for HTC HD2 come today. For example, on the eve of 2015 failed to start HD2 Android Lollipop.

Conclusion – best smartphones 2015 for firmware

As you can see, this rating has much in common with our recent material about the actual ex-champions, which once again proves that they should not be written off. And what a smartphone is the most pierced you?

The post Best Smartphones 2015 for firmware appeared first on Raqwe.

If you bought a smartphone OnePlus One, we noticed – on the box and the back of the device there is no logo Cyanogenmod. Why the company decided to stop using it? Maybe because of the conflict that took place in India? Recently, the Supreme Court of Delhi has been banned from sale and delivery of appropriate gadgets.

However, a little later, “surfaced” the real reason for the disappearance of the brand with packaging.

As reported in OnePlus, the company plans to conquer the world. And this requires a fully unify corporate identity.

Are the true words of company representatives, we can not say with absolute certainty.

Although it sounds logical. Now the flagship comes in different countries with different firmware. This decision must save the manufacturer time and money.

OnePlus get rid of the need to release 2 versions of design – with logo and without CyanogenMod. The phone will look the same in every region.

Do you have a favorite company you love a tender love which likes Motorola, and I – OnePlus One invite? So today, there is information about the number of smartphones sold for 2014 and I can tell you, the company is going to succeed!

Many users are still pissed off that OnePlus One cannot buy without an OnePlus One invite; it was the main reason for not desire buy smartphone. Nevertheless, the machine has done enough noise to disperse around the world good circulation. Co-founder Carl Pei told Forbes, the company has sold 500,000 copies and OnePlus One ambitious plan is to sell a million smartphones in 2015.

OnePlus One invite

If you wonder why they took so long to give the green light to sell smartphones without invitations, the company noted that there is some risk in selling phones at such a low price. They cannot make an indefinite number of smartphones, so they shelved, as it will be at a loss to the company. So they “graciously open their doors” to all who wish to buy a smartphone without an invite this fall. Despite the first bad experience in sales, OnePlus promise bugs and already 17 November reopen order to free his OnePlus One invite.

OnePlus made this year a revolution in IT. But it was not very profitable. Therefore, following the “killer” went its accessories.

The company first showed OnePlus Silver Bullet Earphones. Compact aluminum inserts, which can be bought on October 8 in a couple of hours for $ 15. Then they just ended. And on Thursday rolled out the guys here is an intriguing image.

Life journey so far the only smartphone Chinese company OnePlus full of ups and downs. Even before the official presentation of the device startup representatives announced their intentions in using hardball excellent advertising campaign . In addition, interest has been re-heated system prompts through which smartphone is all the more welcome. However, after some time it became known that this method of sales was caused by the inability to meet existing demand. Whatever it was, many still loyal to the idea to get a smartphone called One. What are the disadvantages should be ready after purchase?

Display – OnePlus One

No, the picture quality on the screen OnePlus One no absolutely no complaints – it is responsible for the 5.5-inch display with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. The problem lies in the periodic error fixing user taps, unwillingness to respond to the double tapas, and sometimes touch at all.

With this problem faced by many owners of this model. It is obvious that the company could not respond to such an incident. In favor of the latter evidence says the recently released update, which is required to correct this deficiency. Accordingly, in which case do not forget to check your smartphone if updates are available.

Battery – OnePlus One

In most cases, a variety of smartphone owners complain of too rapid loss of battery level or something like that, but here the situation is different. The essence of the problem, oddly enough, is related to the high expectations of users.

Last quite reasonably expected from the battery capacity of 3100 mAh significantly better results in comparison with the existing. However, it all depends on the type of use of the device capabilities. If desired, you can significantly save battery using switching between different profiles settings CyanogenMod.

Reboot

The famous movie “The Matrix” has nothing to do with it. Some users complain about it OnePlus periodic restarts. In this case, our foreign colleagues androidauthority recommend alternately remove recently installed application, to find the cause of this behavior. In addition, in some cases, this is achieved by turning off Wi-Fi, when not in use.

Heating

Among all those proud owners OnePlus One there were also those whose Chargers too hot. Along with the smartphone itself, of course.

Sometimes solve this problem allows a proper connection of the cable to the charger and the use of different outlets. If this does not help – try to rejuvenate the battery from the computer.

Colours – OnePlus One

Some instances of the device can boast strange gradient at the bottom of the screen with a predominance of yellow in it. Very often it occurs in the first batches.

Forget about it for a while will feature settings of custom colors, but safer to simply change to a new device.

Do you plan to join the ranks of owners OnePlus One? Tell us about it below.

The post Complaining about the owners OnePlus One appeared first on Raqwe.

“What if I told you that you can get a smartphone OnePlus One with top-end features, but twice cheaper than the flagship AAA brands?”. About such a statement at the end of last year in the field of IT-public appeared young Chinese company OnePlus. And in April this year, they presented their first creation – OnePlus One. What kind of animal and whether or not the Chinese have turned “killer flagships,” as they called him, understood for many, many obzorschiki, but then we decided to come to dot the . Under the cut you to expect one of the longest and most detailed reviews of the series “See all that is hidden.”

By a happy coincidence, or prostonorode – neterplyachke, we have two of the two existing versions of smartphones. Neterpezhka pending invite made us spit and buy the first smartphone in white color and 16 GB in the Chinese online store. On the third day after his arrival came guinea invite to purchase 64 GB version. Pam-pam, week and a half – and from the states came to Julia this piece of asphalt. Infinite happiness befallen my house double in volume. Or not? Let’s analyze everything on the shelves.

Packaging and accessories – OnePlus One

The device comes in a large box of thick brown cardboard, which should well protect the insides of all the hardships and tribulations of our valiant mail. To open it, just pull the string. Inside we find two more boxes, this time from a nice white cardboard with the logos of 1 +.

On a small embossed silhouette of the charger itself, and it is inside. Charging is very accurate, though small, and it can not be called, gives 2A and fully charges the phone a little more than two hours.

But much more we are interested in the second box, square and flat. Of the white outer part is removed the bright red interior, where and is the most expensive. Opening it, we see a deepening of the phone itself, and under the tray find accessories – a highly original USB-red lace, paper clip tray sim card in the silicone cheholchike and instruction-warranty. All tastefully done, so Mmmm, this box I have adorned the most prominent place in the apartment.

Appearance and ergonomics – OnePlus One

The first thing one notices, taking 1 +1 in hand – it’s big. Like it or not, and 5.5 inches – is 5.5 inches. Of course, now a diagonal no surprise, met Soup and bigger, but its best to call the language does not turn. Comfortable to use it with one hand can not all. Actually, not only all. Few people can do it.

Second – this material. Picking up a copy of the white, you know why the manufacturer calls it «Silk White». Plastic cover is very pleasant to the touch, and differs from the more usual soft-stitch from other manufacturers. It seems that he is really soft and silky. Prints fatty hands and fingers, he collects as readily as conventional soft-touch, but because of the white color to consider them more difficult. Slightly less, but still willing, it collects and scratches. I have this week appeared as small, so that for a long operation, it makes sense to think about the case. Well, or wait until OnePlus finally begin to sell replacement covers. Of which promised a shop, although customization of the appearance of a la Moto X / G it away.

And here is an option that with “asphalt texture” – a joy of my soul. You can certainly say, as we said in the review – the trend this year is something to imitate. If the powers that mimic the skin and metal, the creative – sandstone. This is the correct name of this coating. If someone comes up with a lot of clever moves and ways to protect your device from damage, then OnePlus acted as simply – asphalt will not “hurt” from the ground (call it that) with asphalt. This sandpaper seems no damage. Since I’m a big craftsman ushatat device, this device I had also flown. And yet, hello – plastic flank damaged.

Continue on materials – virtually the entire front part is covered by glass Gorilla Glass 3, which protrudes slightly from the rest of the body. Gorilla Glass – it’s certainly good, but with the oleophobic coating is not as lucky. It is a bit like it is, but some very weak. Prints captures with joy, but they rubbed out as lucky.

Around the glass perimeter phone framed shiny frame. But make no mistake, it is painted under the metal plastic. Due to the contrast between the frame and black glass front panel visually phone seems a little smaller than it actually is. On the other hand – in the groove between the glass and the frame easily stuffed dust, grease from hands and stuff, so be prepared periodically to wield a toothpick.

The third point – the build quality. What a pleasant surprise. All tailored perfectly, about any backlash and squeaks can not speak. Solid body, so loose, in fact, nothing. And though the cover is removable and body, the likelihood that over time it will get loose, very small, for reasons it did not shoot so much – except that is replaced by another, the battery is a non-removable.

Now about ergonomics. All controls are housed on the faces – a key / lock – on the right, the volume rocker – on the left. They are located so that lie directly below the thumb and index finger, respectively, and do not stretch to anything.

Above the volume key located tray Sims. It is one and the format of the micro. Slots for mikrosd not provided, alas.

The bottom has mikroyusb connector, two stereo speakers grilles on either side of him and the microphone hole.

Headphone jack was on top (alas), and there is also another microphone.

On the back cover is also not unusual – but the camera logo. Camera and flash (and it is a dual LED) located on a small metal insert, slightly protruding from the cover. A little away from this site – the third hole of the microphone.

On the front side of all as a very standard: top – eye of the camera and the earpiece, and between them – light sensors, proximity and LED. However, there is here and features.

OnePlus One

For example, a button. They touch and are below the display. But when backlight is off to see them is not so simple. And if you turn the onscreen buttons (on this later), and then we can not guess the presence sensor. And so when you turn them, you will become the side of those who believe that the sub-screen buttons only did body longer.

Display – OnePlus One

Display size – 5.5 inches. Someone much, someone at the time, and for whom, and little it may seem. Resolution here is almost standard FullHD, that gives us a 401 pixel per inch. Fortunately, OnePlus did not follow the rule “we need more pixels”, common sense prevailed. The matrix itself is made by IPS technology production JDI (Japan Display Inc.) – an association of Sony, Hitachi and Toshiba.
Then set IPS-matrix with all sorts of chips type Touch On Lens – that is, the sensor integrated with the matrix. Due to the lack of a layer between the matrix and the sensor viewing angles almost maximum. Angle image stays readable, color does not change, no glare, and the three of us we managed to see a movie without pretensions. The picture is bright and juicy. Black black enough for IPS, with white, too, everything is ok, although there are reviews that the screen is yellow. And some or all yellow strip at the bottom of the screen. In any case, in our specimens there are no problems, great color rendition. And if someone that is not happy – the contrast, color saturation and temperature, you can configure how you want.

With the brightness too, everything is good. Max allows you to use your phone even under the scorching sun – checked. Screen in such circumstances, of course, fade, the video does not look, but the text remains completely legible, not lost. At the minimum screen brightness is not burns the eyes in the dark, it’s good. Only self-controlled not to say that before the end of an adequate, but you can zamorochitsya and calibrate it yourself. Or steamed and to drag it into the curtain of notifications, I do.

And as I – it’s me, then I was able to spend over a smartphone crash test. Accident, but tragic. Smartphone always falls down and display OnePlus One – is no exception. From the height of my height unit has been dropped on concrete steps and it has a good flight rolled. Downed butt crack and the keys management. To change the glass on the device, it is necessary not just dancing with a tambourine dance. Glass combined with sensor – this time. Two – have you no one will fly. Three – you can buy a glass and china shop, armed with a video from YouTube, start their sadomasochistic procedure. I mourn, and switch the system to control the onscreen buttons. In general, this and the enemy does not want, so before buying OnePlus One, make sure that the pockets of your trousers and jackets are roomy enough.

Sound – OnePlus One

Judging by the experience, the sound you enjoy so that all your friends you will include track and say, “Bass! Bass you hear ?! And do not even scored at the maximum! “. Of course, I’m exaggerating, but the sound is really good. Two stereo speakers, built with the blessing and technical support of JBL, located on the bottom – this is the tip of the iceberg, which immediately attracts attention. Firstly, they are loud. Really loud. So not only did they perekrichat any srednestatestichesky flagship smartphone, they are still at the same time does not clog, does not squeak, do not crack, they sound good as a minimum volume, and at the maximum. Secondly, in real life, drown them both speakers at the same time is problematic. Even if you are watching a movie in a horizontal position (smartphone), sides because rounded.

Sound in the headphones – in-ho-ho! Especially if you have a good set of headphones. Complete in the box did not, so I used their Sony MDR-XB400 and EarPods. At maximum volume is simply impossible to listen to, oh, very loud! In ExtraBass I even on the subway listening to half the volume. And application AudioFX. Here’s where you can dance-danced. Twist and twirl it can be, depending on the desires and the selected genre. Very cool equalizer. Selecting modes, premises, under the style of auto-tuning, manual mode, the speakers-headphones-speakers. If you are a connoisseur of fine-tuning – welcome aboard. And most importantly – there is quick access to notifications curtain, when you listen to music.

The earpiece, it is not perfect, but good. The first couple of days of continuous talk was trouble, hear me clearly through the letter, and I heard talking in spurts. But it is the fault firmware update arrived very quickly and all fixed a. Heard good buddies, Lyapota even say that too loud. But I’ve always heard good complaints were not, because OnePlus One three microphones! And it is good not only affects the video recording, but also for communication. They are engaged shumodava, so basically you will be heard as if you created to communicate the special conditions.

Camera – OnePlus One

The part in which all slightly disappointed. For the ideal of it a little further than I would like. On the other hand, OnePlus did not set out to create a pocket …

The camera unit was implemented in the familiar on smartphones Oppo style – rectangular block in the center of the top. The camera lens and dual LED flash underneath. Sony Exmore IMX214 sensor with a resolution of 13 MP, 6 lenses optics, aperture f / 2.0. AF relies for about 3 seconds, and the manual – adjust settings, HDR-shooting function is present. In fact, the menu is not as many points where you can dig. It’s all as simple as possible, except for switching between shooting modes – they are located at the top and change swipe up and down. And a lot of them any different, but to remove something stupid, like, for example, the mode of “Under the Sea”, it is impossible All modes: auto, underwater, posterize, sepia, black / white, stable picture night Scene, on the move, exposure time, Auto Enhance, recognizing the shooting conditions, clear image (cleans photo from the noise), HDR.

With the management everything is simple. Old-fashioned way, you can cause the camera through the menu, and can be in a modern way: Draw a circle on the screen is locked (only this function must first be included in the paragraph “Gestures” menu). And if we go to the camera settings, click “General”, you can turn the key controls – and then the volume key will be responsible for scaling, and power button – for filming. All menus can be adapted for left-handers, solved one tick. As you can see, everything is very concise and clear.

Pictures, which as a result you will be looking at very closely, and you may like and dislike at the same time. Like because the quality is good, good detail, color rendition real, the white balance is correct, the amount of noise is satisfactory, the autofocus is stable, smooth pan and all – well, that’s done. And not like it because … not ideal, you know? I did not have the color saturation, though the reality faded. HDR some evil and harsh – smears and makes the picture a cartoon. And that picture you see on the screen is different from the one that will get a result. For image capture occurs in 4: 3 format. If you want 16: 9, you must choose a lower resolution, pens, camera settings. And in the night-time noise, no poboresh strongly visible. When talking about the smartphone – a killer flagship – do you expect to open a gallery and forever freeze in admiration. In short, this is the case, when all is well, but you are not happy, because I was expecting more. For happiness = reality – expectations.

About the front camera does not say much, unlike other manufacturers, which this year just completely went astray on these selfyashechkah. 5 MP with no manual focus mode, but with all the shooting modes, as in the main camera.

About the video too say a word. Because I liked it. I went on vacation and did not take a camera at all, all filmed OnePlus One, because he is able to shoot even 4K-video. It is possible to shoot video at 60 frames / sec in resolution FullHD and at 60 and 120 frames / sec in resolution HD. A video from the front camera is written in 720p. Why? I’ll never know, but for shooting self-blozhikov was enough for me. All examples are included.

I have not loved a joke shumodava for one simple reason. When you shoot for the front camera in the busy city, microphone understands where this din your voice. And when the main – savvy times through time, and can “crush” you along with all other tarahtelkami. Have to twist in the equalizer then. And yet – if you put the deceleration or acceleration of shooting, do not forget to remove this tick …

Specifications – OnePlus One

OnePlus One himself, and the prince, and for a horse. So he breaks into the synthetic tests that only keep up with him. Model A0001 takes the Gold Cup, there and everywhere, and fans of synthetic tests results in a synthetic ecstasy. What could be nicer than Antutu, broadcasting «Excellent, how you can be so good!». However, the power of Epic Citadel is not enough to make out how the machine is good, because the existing rate of 61 fps – the average total of 801 Snapdragon devices.

Under the hood OnePlus One is located 801 Qualcomm Snapdragon 2.5 GHz, Adreno 330 graphics with a frequency of 578 MHz and a memory of 3 GB. Well, what is there to hinder? Version has 16 GB, 64 GB is on. I have a second, available in almost 55 GB, so I’m shooting video unscrupulous amount, download music and movies, and I do all the drum. A guy with a 16 GB version of the unhappy, because that’s available just over 12 GB and there is a slot for microSD, so trying to save space.

One can not be surprised by the words “With all the daily tasks easily cope.” Each adequate smartphone they are easy to handle. But tests and games – a record. I played all that only in the Market found. And everything is as easy as a boat on the sea in a calm. Very nice and easy. FPS does not subside, only heats up noticeably in the area of ​​the camera. But show me someone who does not get hot, then we’ll talk.

There are two versions of the smartphone. One that the world market is on CyanogenMod, even this inscription on the back says. Version OnePlus One for the domestic market, that is China, running ColorOS (for subsidiary – Oppo, which developed and firmware), and no inscriptions on the lid does not have. But! If you decide to buy the Chinese version, and of color you are still not interested, then you can ask the seller to all reflash. That is, if you do not want. So the problem with the firmware – no problem. True, I, as a fan ColorOS, still upset that both devices have cyanogenic. But this shell has a number of chips, you should be aware.

CyanogenMod has the right to brag about the numbers, because this version of the firmware yuzayut more than 11 million. Users. It’s like a subtle hint at how good it is. And when you consider that it does not put yourself on a smart, raging from the gurgling TouchWiz or escape from an abundance of programs from Sony, then these parts devoid of the standard version of the launcher its drawbacks, other than just the lack of built-in FM-tuner. But this mistake I generally noticed only during the writing of the text review, so I think, for you this is not a big loss.

My copy right out of the box asked upgraded to Android KitKat 4.4.4, and CyanogenMod for while using updated twice. Square icons – this is an amateur, they can not fix it. And everything else you can. And it really is – almost everything. Then you and the appearance and style of paging, and the option to leave or remove chips Kitkata, gesture support – so much fun! Not one day give this firmware for those who like to be picked in the customization of your device. In addition, programs such as pre-installed on the device is not present. From useful to love the thrill will highlight screencast. Still, it’s a good thing.

To be quite accurate, it is necessary to clarify that the CyanogenMod team has worked with a smartphone at the stage of Designing. So it’s not the same version of the launcher, which can be found for each flashing your pet. Here you have more freedom. Here, for example, gestures. Enough of them, and they are made wisely. I’m accustomed to ColorOS, where they can create and own, and install anything that does not get, lacked this feature. But here, to be honest, the gestures here in a reasonable amount and are tied to what is actually necessary. Double tap to unlock checked to run the flashlight, the circle to the Camera and arrows, checkboxes to control the player. Another issue is that the screen is very sensitive. And if you carry the device in a pants pocket, it will be unlocked himself and run player or camera. But developers are not heartless, they know it all and fixed a promise in future versions of the update.

Separately, it should be said about the button “Home”, “Context menu” and “Back”. They can also be customized. First, choose what you like the best – or the onscreen touch. I use the on-screen buttons at the behest of the tragedy of their curves hands, my touch broken, and with them in such a state that the interfering clicking. But virtual buttons like me more sensory least because they are not only places you can change, but also to regulate their amount. Yes, here you can also add buttons, if you have time for anything. But the touch buttons have the opportunity to learn something new.

I like that you can use mechanical buttons. The player volume key not only quieter, louder is able to do, but when the screen is off clamped up or down and switch tracks. It can also unlock the smartphone, move the cursor, and in camera application scale, and power button will be responsible for “shutter”.

In general, you’ll like it. Sms text is displayed on the lock screen, the indicator is a million colors in the palette, you can set quiet hours, the grid layout of icons, the total adjustment to curtain – in short, it is necessary to open and use. There to learn-learn – so much! I have here the outermost table in trushny android 4.4 – GoogleNow. In general, you will not be bored for no other firmware, so it is good. A profile! They not only sound can be customized! It’s like a NFC-tag without a label and nothing will not have to apply. Just sat down, set up basic profiles, or to switch between the office, the car, the street and the house. Very comfortable.

Autonomy – OnePlus One

Controversial issue. OnePlus One, and the guy my OnePlus One with a battery capacity of 3100 mAh. We’re both from the Internet does not crawl out, but it’s more to play with toys, I will listen to music. He lives as a whole unit and a half or two days, I – the day the most of existing indicators – one and a half days. The most popular question to me from the owners OnePlus One: «kaaaak? How do you do it? “. Unnoticed. Easily and naturally. Dont know ah. The brightness is adjusted manually, because the automatic does not suit me, an Internet mobile use unlimited video shoot. In general, it appears that for the time the battery is discharged to 40%, and the rest – active mobile igrozadrotstvo evening. But here is what is stable – is charged by charging home in two hours. The average for the video – about 9 hours. This series of nine or ten favorite series, if it is almost a series of one hour, or more seasons of “The Big Bang Theory.”

Communications – OnePlus One

Here the unit is not very poor, deprived only infrared sensor, but it is together we somehow survive. Slot for a SIM card alone, you will need to extract the proprietary clip that is stored in a special cover to its convenient to carry. For example, on the circle with the keys. GPRS, EDGE, 2G frequencies 850/900/1800/1900 MHz. But!

The question is an important communications for the machine, for two variants of the smartphone are not only internal memory and color back cover, but the main thing – different frequencies. There is a version for the domestic Chinese market TD-SCDMA 1880-1920 / 2010-2025 and local standard TD-LTE – 2570-2620 / 1880-1920 / 2300-2400. And there is the international version with the more common WCDMA 2100/1900/850/900 MHz and standard FDD-LTE 2100/1800/2600.

This also add dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0 for wireless keyboard, speakers, or transfer pictures when no Wi-Fi, and NFC, for even faster pairing and transmitting information. No claim, the rate of cancellations. However, the question arose to GPS, which is still the day after my return to Ukraine thought that I was in Hungary.

Conclusion – OnePlus One

I’m not going to write about the invites. Happiness had fallen on our heads for once there registration on the forum. And promised to invite three friends still have not come at the time of writing material. Buy a Chinese version of the store with delivery to the post office of your city – easily. Especially if you are not going to South America, because the frequency of the Chinese Internet is not a ride on the other side of the planet. Invites – it’s not very convenient, but you can see how it undermined society. Everyone wants to imagine OnePlus One! Even if only to feel, and then sell. However, now they all want to feel the iPhone 6, but needed the noise made ​​this beauty. OnePlus One broke the Internet as Tuzik warmer. This aggressive, but the main interesting campaign have not been observed. We watched every move a picture, hearing, banter picture or something else. Behind this was fun to watch, and the whole game makes us want this is not shown in the time machine, as if it is the plum cake.

We had a little discussion on the topic “pays whether the production of this smartphone for the company?”. Because the device is really cheap for such a technical stuffing. He is a big, handsome, well-built, pleasant to the touch, if White Silk, or resistant to external damage, if it nedopeschanik, he has the technical side – ideal without quibbles, and in general in the whole structure of the smartphone can be traced clearly explains the logic. Even in such elementary things of the series “Why the battery is not removable?”. If you make the battery removable, need more protection for the motherboard, which means you need to reduce or increase the width of the battery. Why screen resolution QHD? Yes, because you do not need that! And autonomy would suffer. 300 American presidents he has no equal, there is even nothing to argue.

This is one of the most optimal and harmonious smartphones of all that I have met during the work. He has enough advantages to kill that column’s shortcomings. I have enough autonomy, and brightness, and indicators of the camera, volume and sound quality, memory, too short, I w version is 64GB, and the price did not hit on the budget. We are not breaking up with him And if they ask me to take a smart phone, I answer – OnePlus One. So if suddenly you are ready to buy my Oppo Find 5, please!

Even before the official announcement of the device OnePlus One, is being promoted as a “killer flagships”, was surrounded by scandals. aggressive promotional campaign, designed to make fun of competitors’ products, still lives in the memory of outraged owners Galaxy S5, One M8 and their ilk, but he laughs best who laughs last in spite of the attention to the IT-community of OnePlus and lots of positive reviews , smartphone pretentiously named One of bad luck.

Approach to the customer OnePlus One

Abandoning the system of pre-orders, the company decided to distribute OnePlus One invitations that potential buyers was not easy to get – even someone had to break your old smartphone  OnePlus One to get hold of a novelty. Those fortunate enough to have had the opportunity to purchase 1 + to the dollar, were surprised by the lack of components in the package, but someone deserves the device does not get:

Is it possible to create high-quality flagship for Android for $ 300? Part owners OnePlus One Think before you answer that question. Initially, the discussion forums going disgruntled 5.5-inch Full-HD-screen users, and the subject of discussion was the improper calibration of the display. Then there were reports of a defective batch of devices: the screen appear yellow spots and stripes, from which with the help of the software update does not get rid of. Poured oil on the fire history of the users who had to pay for the shipment of defective devaysa at his own expense.

The fair sex got a chance to win an invitation to buy OnePlus One, making selfie logo start-up company. Required to publish the photos on the forum, then participants should evaluate the efforts of the girls. Public OnePlus One accused of sexism, and all references to this contest on the website and the official accounts in social networks have been erased.

The explosion in the pocket OnePlus One

As it turned out, “killer champions” can deal not only with competitors on Android, but also with his master. In particular, if that is your 1+ in your back pocket.

The sad story of a burning gadget furrowing the World Wide Web a few days, but this time the owner of the victim (or rather, the ex-owner) Chinese smartphone heals burns.

Of course, we can not say that to compare SLR cameras with modules installed in smartphones, was somehow a trend. Nevertheless, such efforts still occur, and the camera smartphone while exposed in the best light. Believe that it is real merit handheld devices, or, conversely, to the last to insist that it is the intention of tricks – a private matter. Whatever it was, after Note 3 to compete with the Canon 5D Mark III happened and OnePlus One.

This time it took over an Italian film director, screenwriter and producer Giacomo Mantovani, who became one of the owners of the Chinese “killer flagships.” Povoskhischavshis quality video in 4K-resolution that the smartphone can shoot in ideal lighting conditions, and noting the validity of the same, and for photos, he finally decided to compare gadget SLR camera Canon 5D Mark III, well-proven for the filming of the video. And the results of their comparison showed that OnePlus One could be better “reflex.”

The author, of course, points out that this does not mean that the smartphone can replace you with a good camera, if you are doing the shooting professionally. The test was conducted in a great light, which is ideal “initial data” to the smartphone’s camera, not to mention the availability of lenses, accessories, and other opportunities for SLR cameras, which makes their choice of the pros. Nevertheless, with regard to the dynamic diapason, OnePlus One is quite comparable with the camera from Canon. In a similar exposure between them almost no difference.

Personally for me it’s just another strong argument in favor of the fact that for the average user (let’s say, to shoot in «Auto»), a smartphone is a better solution than the SLR. It is compact, simple, and under good conditions is at least as to the quality of the image.

The camera OnePlus One, by the way, can be seen not only praise. Many call it quite mediocre, especially in the very low light conditions. In future updates, however, promise to support users to shoot in RAW, that is, without any treatment, “raw” data from the image sensor. As he himself writes Giacomo Mantovani, it will make OPO «even more desirable.”

While ambitious vendor novice OnePlus One stopped trying to hurt competitors offensive promotional campaign and ensures timely delivery “killer flagships” all holders of invitations, the object of the discussion were rumors about the work of Pete Lowe and on the next line of handheld device.

So, famous for its “espionage” activities in the technology world microblog Evleaks said that the code name of the next Chinese smartphone OnePlus One – Lettuce (“Salad”), whereas the OnePlus One before the premiere was called Bacon (“Bacon”).

New brother OnePlus One

The absence of further details about the future novelty accounts only speculate about the relationship with their smartphone codenames: Will OnePlus Two lighter than its predecessor, or a simplified character and a more attractive price tag (remember, the machine with 16 GB of on-board costs 300 U.S. dollars)?
