​Ha ha, you do make me laugh. :wink:

Anyone considering a One Plus phone should spend 20 minutes browsing their forums as this is the place you will be turning to for "support". I have a One Plus One (since November 2014) and although I've not experienced any major issues, when the time comes for a replacement I won't be looking at One Plus as good support is worth paying for.

No, you didn't.

A tall tale indeed :wink:

Heat for price

i paid £128 last year. Gearbest dropped it later to £91. A great phone but not at this price. COLD.

well damn, I've just bought the moto x style for £330 because it was that or the oneplus2 at £289.

only 40 difference, now £90! it would have been a no brainer, voting hot.

don't think so. it's never been under £289 for 1+2. it's only been off invite a couple of weeks

I could reject my moto x style as its not here yet.

But

http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&f=210&t=1569397&mid=40544&nmt=FFS+bloody+phone+got+stole

It would look mighty suspicious to Amazon.

very hot thanks op

Isn't there some story or issue with the USB-C on these..... seem to recall something being reported somewhere.

EDIT: Shame no NFC either.... was so close to ordering. Not a biggie now but not future proofed (as much as these things can be) without NFC.

EDIT 2: No fast charging either.... i'm out!

1+2=3

Not the phone, but the shipped cable is not fully USB-C compliant.

Don't use its cable on any other device.

Ozrly is doing proper USB-C compliant cable on Amazon.

So you can use any other USB-C cable on this phone, but you can't use this phone's cable on anything else?

Would love to order one but their awfully designed site thinks that none of the address details from my address book are filled in

Is this one of those prerooted type phones? Will banking apps work ok?

A LG G4 is going for £225 at the mo

http://www.alphr.com/mobile-phones/1001797/lg-g4-vs-oneplus-2-a-win-for-lg-except-where-it-really-counts

That is the gist of it.

Well you can use the cable on other devices, it is just it doesn't detect if the charger is powerful enough. So if you try to use the included cable on a macbook with a low amp charger... You'll blow the charger up.

It is a problem with a LOT of 3rd party cables too.

Anyone considering a One Plus phone should spend 20 minutes browsing their forums as this is the place you will be turning to for "support". I have a One Plus One (since November 2014) and although I've not experienced any major issues, when the time comes for a replacement I won't be looking at One Plus as good support is worth paying for.

Had a one plus one. After a few months issues started creaking in and the support were useless. Made good money from all the invites I sold, so was more or less in quite a bit of profit when I sold it on. Anyway, would never touch anything from one plus again.

I've had my Oneplus Two for 6 months and it's never skipped a beat. If you do enough digging you can find fault with every phone on the market, including flagship phones by Samsung S6 and Iphones small batteries, LG G4's random reboots including being stuck in a boot loop.

I had an OPO for a few months before passing it to my girlfriend, never skipped a beat and a year or so later is still running as smooth as day one. Battery and performance are still awesome, preferred it to my LG G4 and my current Honor 7.

The camera on the original one is awful in anything other than perfect light, I believe this has been rectified somewhat with OIS and laser autofocus on the new unit but I wouldn't expect that aspect of it to be as good as flagships from Samsung, LG, Apple or Sony.

I am trying the code on oneplus x says successfully applied but it wont take anything off?

heat for price, need to drop mine in price now, bummer

Yes i know but wanted to try my luck lol.

Had mine since just after launch. Great phone never given me any issues at all. Well worth this price.

had a oneplus 2 but switched to a G4 after getting sick of SW issues, rubbish screen, and dodgy FP reader on OPT. I am much much happier with a g4.

No nfc, No fast charge... Zzz

I have had this phone for 3 months and it is great. Unless you regularly use nfc you will not miss it. I know I don't have a use for it. My bank card has nfc for wireless payments
The charging is super fast with the new USB C format
It's the most stylish phone out but it is Big so it is difficult for one hand maneuvers.
The camera isn't on par with the s6 or g4 but it is still of good standard, I find the front camera to be pretty **** though if you are a selfie addict that might disappoint you.
Fingerprint is great and being able to turn on the flash light or the camera with a swipe when the phone is off is great
Top phone at a great price.
If you are after a top flagship wait until next months new releases and pay triple the price

As much as I hate them for their stupid marketing practices (which evidently do work) at this price I have swallowed my pride and ordered one.

They are not a 'small' company struggling to make a buck (or Yen). They are a subsidiary of the mighty Oppo. Honor uses similar tactics but not quite so irritating. You can buy an Honor 7 for £250 any time (mostly) but every 3-4 weeks the price goes down to the 'actual' price of £210. Cheapest it has been so far is £175. Honor is a subsidiary of the mighty Huawei but at least don't try and hide it.

NFC has been around since at least 2013 but never taken off. It's only trendy now thanks to Apple.

Has anyone actually tried the code and ordered the phone for the price of £249?

The post is about the deal... not how good the phone is or how it compares with the LG G4 (yes, it can be comparable at the original price but not at £249). 4GB RAM, 64GB Memory, 64-bit processor, finger print reader, 5.5 inch 1080p display... find me another phone at that price with those specs and then we can start comparing!

*rant over*

I agree with you there and an informed decision can also be made from the countless number of mobile phone review websites out there. I also love that people who have owned the phone and have left comments about their experiences. It helps in making a decision.

What gets me is that the entire thread then turns in to a slagging match between different phones when it should be about the deal.

Thanks, I was considering getting one of these the other day, glad I waited :smiley:

I had a bit of fumbling around with the address but got it to work eventually, it didn't seem to like having a separate billing and delivery address.

Great spot! Hot Deal.

Does this phone support the Vodafone 4G service?

Great price! I've had my OPO for well over a year and been very happy with it. Great battery life - it can get through a day of fairly high use with ease. Can't recommend Oneplus enough!

I've decided to skip the Oneplus Two because I'm still happy with the performance of my OPO and I think they missed a trick by not including Fast Charge and NFC. I'm going to wait and see what they bring out next.

Code is defo working.

Ulefone be touch 2 Android 5.1 5.5 inch 2.5D Arc Screen 4G Phablet Front Fingerprint Scaner 3GB RAM 16GB ROM - WHITE

Is this the one for £120......

Ulefone touch 2 @ gearbest. Is it not the same?

OP2 is unreliable (touch screen/fingerprint issues) & the software is pretty rubbish/slow. Their version of android is far from complete (Oxygen OS). You will be waiting a month between any support requests. Avoid big time. You've been warned!

OP2 Does come with a locked boot loader but the unlocking is very easy. So not really very accurate

Love the phone.. came from a note 3.. nice clean OS (although would prefer Cyanogenmod but maybe when M is released)... have rooted and flashed to try other roms, with no fear of voiding warranty!

Never used NFC.. dont need more than 64gb... so device is perfect, for the £280 I paid, Im happy!

hot or cold, I don't know, I only come here to read the comments.

Haha trying to flog it off cos their phones ain't nutttting on a LG G4 at £225. get rekttttttt

It's available at Vodafone stores and intermittently on their online website. http://shop.vodafone.co.uk/shop/pay-as-you-go/lg-g4-payg?dfacid=1&cid=aff-aw-default-47868&callwinid=47868&awc=1257_1453822238_8fedee4cdf397d28f113ae7db019980f

There is no sdcard but at 64gb storage who needs one

I just upgraded to a 128gb sd as a 64 (+32 internal) wasn't enough.. So some people need more

I've had a one plus two for a month now. A fantastic spec'd phone for the money. I did have a iphone 5 and didn't fancy paying £400+ for a 6 or 6+. Going android took a bit of getting used too, but is so refreshing to get away from the shackles of bloody iTunes.
I read the reviews and took a punt, its the best thing I've done.
heat from me!!

I bought op2 for me and opx for my girl. The phones are pretty good.

The service is some of the worst I have ever experienced. My girl's developed a fault within two weeks and it took six weeks for a replacement to arrive. Christmas was in the middle to be fair. Nevertheless.

Still waiting on the replacement glass screen protector some nine weeks later. Given up on that. Been a total stress.

For those party to the deal, it reminded me of the lg g2 deal from Vodafone last Christmas but much worse.

I will never buy from oneplus again. Buyers better hope nowt goes wrong with their phone.

​stick to your moto x! definitely not worth the upgrade. I wish I had kept my one plus one but i sold it the same day I got the 1+2.
Unless official cyanogenmod rom comes out very strong, this 1+2 will just fall short...

Owner here, paid more than this on ebay, brilliant fingerprint locking, good screen, no bloatware, Dark themes, notification slider, feels like a 600 pound phone(and runs like one ! )

As a current owner of the OPO I'd much rather have the G4 at £225.

Had the 1+1 and now have the 1+2. Great phones, the 1+2 is not USB 3.1 but rather USB 2 but with a USB type c connector, so does not support fast charging. The cables are now fine as they have been changed. I'd by another tomorrow if need be

Had one for a couple of weeks. Bleed through on screen, strange blue dot on black screen as well. Camera ok, but not great with aperture and slow-ish AF. Battery life good, but phone could get quite warm at times.

Returned it ( although this was an arduous process of over 20 emails and poor responses, had to involve paypal in the end).

Now have an LGG4. Have not looked back. Significantly cheaper. Camera infinitely better, much better in low light and fast autofocus, optical IS. Micro sd card. Battery life readily gets through a day, and at a push up to two. Doesn't heat up as much as the oneplus. The only difference in practical terms is the dual sim.

I love the way they think a quote from the Daily Star will improve their credibility.

Dual SIM but no microSD slot right? Plus it's only a 1080p screen compared to the 2k screen of the G4.

That's right, Dual sim no microSD.

Here's the full spec comparison COMPAISON

more then 2 weeks already
http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/lg-g4-pay-go-now-225-vodafone-online-2372221

Won't let me order.

This is a great phone if you need dual sim and has excellent battery life (normally have 40% remaining at the end of each day). It has a chunky and well made feel. The Oxygen software is perfect and as close to stock android as you need to get get. The only thing which could be improved is the low colour saturation on the screen, seems a bit pale.

Charging is super fast? You clearly have not ever used a QC 2.0 complaint quick-charge device or a Nexus 6P.

Had the OnePlus 2 for around 6 weeks. One of the main reasons behind ditching the device was the pathetically slow charging speed, compared with something like an S6 or Nexus 6P.

Overrated phones which might have top specs but the overall user experience and quality is lacking.

Under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, you have the right to return within 14 days of delivery provided certain conditions are met. Essentially, as long as the item isn't like software, movies, music or a bespoke product (not an exhaustive list), you should be eligible to return it even if you just changed your mind.

You are liable for return postage but should be refunded your full initial purchase price, unless you paid extra for expedited delivery, in which case you'd be refunded for the price of the item.

For more details, see Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013

after having several high end phones and having issues with them all hardware and software related I decided to try to oneplus to be pleasantly surprised! OK not perfect, but at half the price I'm laughing all the way to the bank! ha! I know where I'm buying my next phone :smiley:
good deal by the way OP :smiley:

Has anyone noticed champagne colour is £199 ?

Thats the oneplus x not the oneplus 2

OP2 not having quick charge is a killer for some, including me. 300mAh extra is not going to help in these types of situations either. Charge the three from 20% for 30 minutes and the OP2 is going to die a lot faster than the others.

great phone the only downside is oxygen OS it lags and has some glitches wish they had stayed with CM12.

​For me quick charge is over rated I came from a phone with a big battery and quick charge and you where lucky if you got a days use out of it.
With the OnePlus Two I easily get two day use.
Quick charge does not make up for poor battery life

My ulefone one touch 2 with 3300 battery charges 35% in 15miinutes. A fab fone and a good effort at a flagship killer...indeed.

Is it half term...?

Maybe but the battery drains twice as fast and the wifi is very slow on my Betouch 2

My wi fi is instant - only had the one firmwARE UPDATE PERHAPS FURTHER ONES WILL RESOLVE THIS ISSU - NOT BAD THOUGH FOR THE PENNIES IT COST - FINGER SCANNER WORKS A DREAM AND MY BATTERY IS REMOVABLE EVEN THO SPEC CLAIMS IT IS NOT? eNJOY. Scuse the upper case ..user to keyboard error.....

Well, apart from supporting the small number of people that you have sold a faulty/broken phone to. Ethically and commercially, that is important.

I had to return a opx where the notification slider was stuck in the no notifications position. This made the phone pretty useless. It took oneplus six weeks or so. It required me to submit and reply to a support ticket around 15 times.

Even though I am perfectly capable of flashin a ROM myself in 10 minutes, they insisted that I commit to a session with an engineer who did this remotely. This was to rule out a software error. Took them over an hour with me sitting there.

Total waste of time.

It's not a small amount of money to just say screw the folk that have problems.

I had a faulty Sony Xperia Z and it took them 8 weeks to fix it under warranty! I'm not saying Oneplus are good just they are not alone when it comes to poor customer services

It all comes down to piece of mind. If you are paying £250 for a phone, you don't want to have to jump through hoops to get a refund/get your phone replaced if it is DOA or fails during warranty. If you buy from Amazon or from the high street, most of the time you can just return your phone with ease. Have a look at the One Plus forum and you will see horror stories of people needing to send videos of their phone to show the problem, One Plus taking ages to respond and a lot of complaints where One Plus say the user has damaged their phone and offering a repair service for £70.

My daughter had this phone. The screen cracked once (paid for this to be repaired by a local phone shop, £129), the phone stopped charging so returned to Sony and they said the charging port was damaged (paid £130 to Sony) and 3 months later, again phone stopped charging so sent it back to Sony and again they claimed the charging port was damaged and wanted another £130! Got them to send it back, took it to a local repairer who charged £35 and then gave it away. Won't be buying a Sony phone either as a replacement for my OPO. (Should point out that I also bought a OPO for my daughter to replace the Xperia Z so I'm not against the OP phones, just their poor CS).

While the cable isn't manufactured correctly, the charger should never "blow up". Any decent charger will have under/over voltage protection, current and thermal protection too preventing that from damaging your device and in most cases, the charger itself.

Agreed, but I'm guessing most aren't £250 and you can get a comparable spec LG G4 in the UK and not face the challenge of returning it if faulty.

I went from iPhone 6 > Galaxy S6 Edge > Moto X Style and really miss the fingerprint scanner for unlocking, I'm considering selling the Moto X and buying one of these instead.

Wouldn't touch any Oneplus phone with a barge pole,been a member on there forums 4a long time cus i was gonna buy a Oneplus one but all there phones have problems that are never fixed & their customer service is awful.

Its called doing research & I've done 7 months of it on there forums which is full of hundreds & hundreds of pages with problems on all there phones that have never been fixed & customer service so stick that in ya pipe & smoke it.lol :wink:

Never mind the thousands of people who've bought a OnePlus phone and not had a problem with it or their support?

They're probably not as vocal as those that have had issues though....

I love the comments "I wouldn't buy one because the forums are full of complaints" - this is normal, every forum is pretty much the same.

Please wait, while I sign up to the Motorola Forum and post up that my phone is working great.

Just because u haven't doesn't mean thousands & thousands haven't.lol

https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/touchscreen-issues-we-hear-you.309395/

& they have deleted over 600 more pages.lol

I can't imagine how someone who's admittedly never owned or used the product before can be so vocally adamant against it. All while using the wrong form of their/there. Absolutely beggars belief.

I own one plus one and one plus two and sony xperia z ultra and all three are great phones(much better price and specs than the over priced apple rubbish) highly recommended. zero problems to date with all three.

Yes i have and i still do...

Dyslexia is a neurological disorder which typically hinders reading and spelling. It does NOT include convoluting entirely different words/contractions. You are not dyslexic, but thanks for bringing that up in an internet argument to try and win points.
The difference between their/there is so simple it leads me to believe you are either still in primary school or are senile to the extent of some sort of memory disorder. In either case, it does not want to make me believe anything you're saying as truth.

To be honest, I'm not seeing that at all. For instance, they rolled out OxygenOS 2.2.0 to the OP2 last month and to the OPX on Monday (yes, just two days ago). To claim they don't support their products is disingenuous.
Physically, the phone is very well manufactured, both in terms of build quality and hardware. The majority of posts on their forum are people complaining they dropped/damaged their phone and it broke - well, yes, that's obvious. You wouldn't drive over your laptop then rant at Dell for a new laptop.

I'm not at all straw manning at all, and if anything, it's ridiculous to call out a whole company based on the vocal minority of a few users seeking help. Obviously no one will sign up to the OPO forum to sing their praises, despite the fact 99.9% of the users are free of trouble.
What people are saying is that videos are sometimes asked for to help diagnosis (which is perfectly reasonable) or users are to pay a repair fee for diagnoses and fixing of their phones. Apple does this, and they charge more than twice (thrice?) the price for the standalone phone and a diagnosis fee on top of that. So I honestly have no idea why people think OP are worse at support than other companies.

I own a OP2 and it's served me brilliantly thus far. I've not encountered any issues and I just rooted and flashed my phone with a custom ROM - something normal users wouldn't do as it can decrease stability/increase or introduce new issues. Despite this, I've still not had any problems with my phone.

The phone is not that expensive and all the "research" you've done is from siding with some nutter on a UK deals website. The quality is definitely not questionable and the support is normal within the industry. As a product, it's far superior to other phones on the market at this price bracket. Miles better.

That's a very condescending post.

"All the "research" you've done is from siding with some nutter on a UK deals website"

You know nothing about the "research" I have done :laughing:

both phones very similar I like them both

The fangirl is upset #truecolours..

The majority of posts on their forum are people complaining they dropped/damaged their phone and it broke - well, yes, that's obvious. You wouldn't drive over your laptop then rant at Dell for a new laptop.

Isn't there a well documented issue of the finger print scanner just straight up refusing to work? I've also seen issues of ghost touches and weird artefacts appearing on the screen. Just head over to r/oneplus, where anything negative about their phones gets negged into oblivion but still the majority of their frontpage is full of people asking how to fix their phones/get through to Oneplus' RMA people etc.

Now, you may argue that all phones have issues. True, but most manufacturers have decent RMA procedures to help rectify the problem. Not completely shun you out because you do no have access to a Windows PC

Fine, whatever. I won't discuss it with you any longer if neither of you can put forth any valid arguments.

For everyone else who's interested: it's a great phone at an exceptional price.

Not heard of any issues with the fingerprint sensor, but obviously some users will invariably have issues with it. In fairness to the reddit thread linked, if the phone is a year old and potentially out of warranty, and the user hasn't insured the phone, then there's not much the guy can do. It seems their support team was more than willing to help, but simply technically unable to.
If the OP can't load a VM/use a friend's PC/go to a library then I have no idea what else they're capable (or not) of doing

If u search customer service on Oneplus forum u will find page after page after page of complaints..

Because that's all people will use their forum for - support.
Jesus christ, it's not a hard concept. Do you even live in the real world? Of course no one comments positives about the company. I love their phone but I sure as **** aren't wasting my time making an account on their forum to tell them. It's only people who want to whine who will make the effort.

Go buy a £700 S6+ and blog about how amazing Apple support is zzzzz

Also be aware if u have a problem with your phone u will have 2 give a complete stranger in another country access 2 your computer,yeah right.lol

FAB deal, I must admit though I had a One Plus One and the screen scratched so so easily after like a week soon bad... customer service wasn't great so ended up selling it for a loss and bought another phone. I loved the phone too!

Geez, I've been really tempted to buy the Nexus 6P as a huge Nexus fan, but I was stuck between that and the OnePlus Two as well because of the price difference. Now a discount? I'd be a fool not to just go for this to be honest and save myself £250!!

ZZZZzzzzzzzzz.......

stop trolling i have had them all apple samsung etc oneplus has been better than them all and alot cheaper !

How is passing on info which is true trolling???flagship killer pmsl..

fitting name for such a terrible post, congratulations

Literally EVERYONE with first-hand experience in this thread have said OnePlus make excellent phones. You're just repeating some disgruntled users from a forum like gospel. I remember now why everyone avoids comments section...

Some.lol there are literally thousands :smiley:

Sgtpepper1969.]Have u ever been on the Oneplus forum??

Have u ever been on the rooftop ?

Your welcome. Zzzxxzzzzz.....burb

For the price it's excellent.
How long take the standard delivery?

I wish they had this sale at the start of the month (when January sales are supposed to be on) I would have bought this phone in a heartbeat. I bought an LG G4 from ebuyer instead. No complaints about the LG though as it has turned out to be a cracking phone for similar money but the One+ would have been my first choice.

To be honest with you the LG was just not on my radar and for what is a great phone no one actually seems to be that interested in it. Having now bought it I think it is a terrific little phone.

Lol... the LG wasn't on my radar until this post came up and people started comparing the OnePlus with the LG.

​I sent back a G4 and got a OP2 because the battery didn't last me a day and the screen though it was nice doesn't need to be 1440p all it does is waste battery, you really can not tell the difference

I don't get this battery life thing... on some reviews you hear it's excellent and on others it's rubbish. Goes for both phones. Arghh... decisions decisions!

I wouldn't trust reviews the only was to find out is to try them but a 2k screen will use more juice than a 1080 screen

I wouldn't trust reviews the only was to find out is to try them but a 2k screen will use more juice than a 1080 screen

If it helps any, I just got through a full day of use and the battery was still above 60%, and that's with resource intensive apps like Snapchat being used. I've tweaked it a bit using BetterBatteryStats and the like though, so I wouldn't expect great battery use OOTB. The physically battery being 3,300mAh definitely helps though - for comparison, the iPhone 6+ only has a 3k mAh battery I think

Cold from me for having one of the most annoyingly crap ordering web sites I have come across. Leaves me with no confidence in or respect for the company.

Yes really. I only wanted to check if there was any delivery charge and make sure the discount code worked.

Can't get anywhere near that without creating an account - first major fail.

Create a throw away account having to click on pictures of eggs then ice cream or something before it will tell me the name of the account was already in use - second major fail.

Try again with more clicking on pictures of pickup trucks the flowers to discover I need to read the email they sent to the fake email address I gave them - next major fail.

Try again with a throw away but valid email address and more clicking on pictures of flowers and road signs and click on the validation link in the sent email.

Try to log in again with a now validated account and password and I still have to click on pictures of cookies (they are called biscuits, but somewhere during this farce the site decided I was american and started showing $ prices), then pictures of something else probably because I couldn't tell which little brown splodges were supposed to be biscuits.

And it tells me the account and password combination are not valid. Try again with more clicking on pictures of something and still not valid and I give up in disgust.

Accusing a new customer apparently trying to buy your product of being a robot over and over is a monumental fail on top of a large fail requiring them to create an account before getting near their basket. It inspires zero confidence in me that they can do anything else right.

​So your gonna think about it!!

New account set up and phone ordered in less than 1 minute, thanks op :smiley:

Website worked well for me. Being given able to pay with PayPal is also a positive for me. Good experience so far. Looking forward to receiving the phone. Thanks OP.

Worst customer service and useless phone stuck with opening tickets again and again wouldn't mind paying extra and buy from UK company ...cold from me.

Says it cant ship to UK?

Coming up as £289? nvm didn't use the code

It''s not the One Plus ONE!

Finally decided to go for it. A bit nervous about after sales but seems like it's down to luck - fingers crossed I get one that doesn't break!

Wifey tempted too - will this still be valid tmrw until 11.59pm? The only reason I ask is that her current phone has a Nano sim card and she wants to suss out if 3 will give her a Micro one without any problems. Ta

Thanks. Didn't need it, but ordered none the less.

Anyone with experience on this with 3? I hear the phone doesn't use all the frequency 3 used for their 4G, which may be a problem for me

Bit the bullet. I'd have preferred a G4 for £225 but couldn't wait for it to come back in stock.

Any recommendations on a case and screen protector?

Does this expire at the start of 2nd feb or end? (00:01 or 23:59 on 2nd February.)

Ordered this morning using promo code TUBE40 - seems to have worked for me even though one day past 2nd Feb.
