The last time I posted a Oneplus 2 deal, it was heavily down-voted. This time around, I'm hoping people will recognise this deal for what it is - a good phone at a discounted price. To note, this is being sold in the Oneplus store for £290 (£300+ with delivery). That's a £50 saving.

Additionally, you get a lot of phone for your money: latest generation snapdragon processor, 64 GB storage, 4 GB RAM, 13 MP camera with OIS, incredible battery life and a great Android OS with very limited bloat.

Techradar has rated the phone 4.5/5: http://www.techradar.com/reviews/phones/mobile-phones/oneplus-2-1300253/review

As this is a Chinese version, some 4G bands may not work.

Also, make sure you flash the original Oxygen OS 2 ROM just in case of other problems.

It is not a bad price, however it should be noted that it is the Chinese version and would not support 4G on O2 that only use the 800 MHz frequency.

I'm not sure I trust a website which states the RRP as around double the RRP of OnePlus. Also, if you were to order from this site, wouldn't it be better to click the EU warehouse for an extra £5, rather than the Chinese warehouse.

£295.99 all in. For the correct LTE bands, and direct support some may prefer paying the extra £40. Although, at least there are the two options if someone wishes to purchase this phone.

Do not purchase anything from Gearbest.
I received a faulty phone which then died. They offered partial refund or me pay to return to China.
Absolute nightmare company to deal with!

imo far too many people on here have issues with not receiving their products/refunds etc from gearbest so I wouldn't take the risk, not worth the hassle.

I purchased a mobile from them, faulty on arrival. Died the next day. Gearbest offered partial refund or return to china at my cost! I am still arguing 2
weeks later.

I placed an order but then cancelled it as they asked for a photo of my picture ID and of my credit card, despite paying with PayPal. I don't think it's necessarily "dodgy", but I wasn't particularly comfortable doing that.

Just a heads up for anyone interested in this deal.

Hi, regarding gearbest, I need some help.
I purchased a tablet from their EU warehouse on 11-DEC-2015. I paid on the same day.
However, there has been no dispatch confirmation since. The status on my account shows the item as paid but has been stuck on this since the day I bought it! I have tried several times to contact Gearbest but they have not replied.
Does anyone have any experience with Gearbest? (I thought I'd post this as my experience of gearbest as well as in the hope someone on here has dealt with gearbest previously and can help me).

got this phone direct a couple of months ago. it's tidy. I wouldn't say the battery life is "incredible" though.

i have one .. totally vouch for this phone. Battery lasts me about 3 days. Bought from Oneplus direct.
Comes with a screen protector already applied and the sandpaper texture back prevents phone slipping onto the floor.

no NFC ... but i don't need it.

Very snappy phone.

just got mine the other day I gotta say it's a nice phone, didn't realise it already had a screen protector applied already! :smile:

Yes, at £50 lower in price, for sure. You have some coherent argument against that?

15 Dec 15 1 #28

Surely the Note 4 at £290 has got to beat this?

pelaquin to Mark300ZX

15 Dec 15 2 #29

Of course it does lol, the Note 4 is a beast of a phone, but people always want the latest tech, even though the Note 4 destroys most of 2015's " Flagship " phones.

I don't know why people here keep recommending Chinese models without UK bands. Better pay more and get UK model and warranty. I am now waiting to buy snapdragon 820 phone like Xperia Z6 or oneplus 3. No one in right mind will buy Chinese grey phone without UK bands.

The Mi5 without a doubt.

You're suggesting the Oneplus 2 does not 'stack up against' the LG G3?

Lenovo K3 note for £100 from gearbest is awesome, but only after updating software, before update it was glitchy, poor battery and some spam apps.

In case people wondering where to start, no PC required, just a few apps:
First Kingroot (to get root access), then flashify to enable install of a "custom recovery" at boot, then install the custom recovery TWRP (and take a backup to a micro SD), then new ROM (vibe 3.0), then G-apps (to enable google apps, took a couple of goes to find the right one).

Finally an amazing phone for under £100

Sounds terrifying, but could do it again in 20mins now. Even tempted to get for my wife and kids, shame there isn't a 4.7inch version for their little hands...

I have one of these and there are amazing phone. Antutu test of over 62000 and the best bit is actually a 1 year warranty, most of these Chinese phones don't. Get 3 months at best.

Been researching phones in this price/performance bracket and think have settled on the Meizu Pro 5 4Gb/64Gb. Deciding factors were AMOLED screen, microSD, and the Sony MX230 sensor/camera which is great in low light. Only -ve is fixed battery but I'm guessing by the time it fails someone will have a method for replacing it.

Totally agree! As soon as it hits sub £300 its being purchased ;-)

This is a good, keen price for the 1+2 but like others, would get it direct for a bit
extra to cover the missing bands and warranty etc etc..

I had two items in same basket and used EU warehouse for faster delivery; however one item was shipped EU and other China, two different tracking numbers. I will be asking gearbest for a refund of the difference on one item, hope they don't come back with their store credit nonsense.

I've recently bought the OnePlus 2 direct from OnePlus, its a great phone then factor in the price and its a cracking package.

Sorry, it is still a cold deal because this phone does not stack up against others at the same price.
