Talk about the OnePlus One at AndroidForums.com | Pricing and Availability | How to buy it
We’ve finally learned everything we need to know about the OnePlus One. Everything is peachy keen aside from an annoying purchase process. It can be had as cheap as $300, a price tag that certainly cannot be matched by any other device in its class. The question is simple then — are you buying one?
Sure, you have to be lucky enough to be one of 100 people selected to smash their phone for a chance to buy the OnePlus One for $1 (or be diligent enough to pry an invite away from someone who has been selected to purchase the device right away), but for its cost-to-performance ratio it’s probably considered just a small nuisance in the grand scheme of things.
Read up on everything, then circle back to drop your vote in the poll below. Don’t forget to follow that up with a comment if you wish to share the reasoning for your eventual decision.

The invite program is sort of annoying. Other than that, this has a high chance of becoming my next phone… when I get a damn invite.
Course, I also want to watch out for the next Moto, but I doubt the price for it will be this alluring.
The price makes this a must try for me. I haven’t ever used a device this big, but I’ll likely never get a chance to find a price this reasonable on a device this big again. May as well give it a go.
Same here! Don’t know how I’ll get an invite though, but I guess we’ll see how that works in a few weeks :)
I have a feeling invites will spread like wildfire. I sure hope they do.
Nah, my Nexus 5 is at the outside limit of what is comfortable to hold. Anything bigger is just silly for my average sized hands.
Yep, my reason exactly.
Yeah, this is why I’m on the fence. I don’t really know if I want to sell it to basically sidegrade too. The 1+1 is a little better, but not drop my N5 on the ground and run for the 1+1 better.
I know I’ve been a huge “negative Nancy” about this entire process but if I manage to get an invite, I’ll definitely pony up $350 for one. You’d be crazy not too at that price point
Nope, too big.
That’s what she said
sorry…. it ain’t my fault I have good genes!!!!!!!!!!!
Ha!!! Lol
I’ll have to swing by Best Buy and hold a couple comparable phones to see how the size feels in the hand. This would be the largest phone I’ve owned.
Hold the Note 3 and check Facebook or something on it. The OnePlus One is going to be easier to use one-handed than the Note 3. I currently use the Note and find it to be pretty ideal size, especially considering I can almost always use my phone with both hands.
When I got the Note, there was a wow factor involved for sure, but it took me all of a day or two to get pretty used to the size. I am excited to buy the OnePlus One and couldn’t buy it if the screen was much smaller.
I hope this helps you… it’s pretty easy to get used to a large phone.
I wonder if you have to send your phone in after you smash it? Other wise just break your phone a little bit or just enough to where you can fix it possibly.
Or just get an old handset and smash the **** out of that. If you don’t have one, I’m sure someone you know has!
I feel like they’ll know that is not your current phone. Otherwise this gimmick they’re doing would just say, “Break a phone and get the 1+1!”
Since I’m on Verizon, its out of the question for me.
Again, it must really suck to have your phone decisions be dictated by your carrier…
The alternative choices for carriers have pretty poor coverage vs Verizon. Nothing irritates me more than to pull out my phone in a time of need and I don’t have a usable signal. I’m happy with my HTC One anyway. Don’t get me wrong, I do despise the carrier structure here in the US.
Yea, I understood that some time now….I’m just saying I see your pain.
Exactly. Even though I’m not interested in this phone, Same here.
Nah, M8 or G3 for me
Great specs, but would have to abandon my 128g sdcard. Plus, if it isn’t on Verizon in my neck of the woods, may as well carry a brick around. Sticking with my M8.
It must really suck to have your phone decisions be dictated by your carrier…
Yes, it does. I wish I could use any phone on any carrier, but this is the USA, and the decision making process has nothing to do with the relative qualities of the technologies, but that’s for another thread.
On the other hand, when I had to abandon the Palm platform in April of 2010, Big Red still didn’t offer the iphone, so I ended up with an HTC Incredible, and I have been on Android since. I do not regret for one minute not going the way of the iphone.
Another giant phone. Too big. Like the F2.0 lens though
This has all of my wants.
I’m cool with my Nexus 5 for now. This phone is just too big for me. I’ll be upgrading around the time the Nexus 5 2015 should be released. If there is an updated mini version of this with a 5″ screen by then, I would seriously consider it. I really like the great price for all that power but I wonder how they are able undercut every other manufacturer by so much.
There should be an option for saying maybe if I get an invite.
Being on Verizon, no point in getting excited over this haha. I just wish the M8 was only $300 off-contract. It really sucks knowing I’ll have to buy my next phone off-contract to keep my grandfathered unlimited data…
Hope we get a One Compact :D
I was hoping but they way they are handling the release of this phone is stupid and by the time I am able to purchase one there will be something better out but maybe not at that price.
sooooo, no word on when it will be open to buy for the public? or if it ever will be open to buy for the public? kind of sucks lol
um… site says tomorrow…
Went from the N4 to the N5, no where near ready for another upgrade. Plus, like others said below… it’s at the limit of what I think is comfortable to hold and use one handed.
Waiting to see what they do with Project Ara for my next device. Hoping there will be a Phablet version of that because I’d love to replace both my N5 & N7 (2012) for one device (I know I just said that above that the OnePlus One is too big but at least Ara can have parts swapped out to make more sense to have a larger size… IMO)
There will be 3 sizes of the Ara frames. Phablet, flagship, and compact.
It`s a good phone, I might buy it if I don`t have the Note 3.
if they are smart they will release this for the public before the LG G3 comes out. Its the only other phone Im considering right now…Im sure LG is gonna show some magic with there next phone(G3)…:)….
Nope. If they ever make a ‘phone-sized’ version of this, then yeah maybe. I already have a N7 and a TF101. Give me a phone-sized phone please. Really tired of this increasing size trend.
