and the oneplus 3 is just around the corner. The oneplus x comes with a free silicon cover and screen protector as standard-dont know if the 1 & 2 is the same?

Would have to agree, basically what the phone should have been for the last six months I have owned my plus2. Up until last week the phone was massively frustrating with constant lag appearing every 24 hours after a full reboot. I was going to just get rid and get something else but the marshmallow beta has saved it from being put on eBay...

Not had these issues and I think there aren't many established phones around that cost this price for these features. There are a lot of good £100-200 phones around but 90% of them run an awful skinned version of android and have crap cameras. As a Nexus man also, the Oxygen OS is one of the few that actually improves on lots of stock android features.

I got this phone. The marshmallow beta makes the phone almost perfect. Even though it's beta solved many of the software issues existing in OOS 2.2.x.

By picking up this phone, take into account that technical support from OnePlus isn't that famous. Before you send the phone back, you need to do some techy/geeky stuff on the phone (flash stuff, recoveries, fastboot modes, etc) to allow them to remotely make a diagnostic and make a decision on what to do.

Does not have quick charge, but has usb type-c (it's just a gimmick for them to say that its high tech, lol....)

To the guy thinking between OP2 and 6P... If you can afford the 6P, take the 6P, by far the best android phone out there at the moment. If you want to take a good phone and also take the missus to a week off in Crete (check hukd earlier this week), take the OP2, spend the remaining 250£ on the trip. :P

However, as someone already said back there.... OnePlus3 is coming out soon...

Cheers

word of warning- their CS is terrible. bought this phone but refused delivery (as instructed) as I saw the huawei p9 offer. DHL returned the phone to their London warehouse a week ago and they've not spoken to me since. opened a PayPal dispute and voila, a reply from them saying they'll not resolve the issue internally anymore as I've opened the claim. don't expect any proper CS if anything goes wrong

It's true the dirty flash process results in NO data loss.

Then explain how you don't lose data. The dirty flashing is really dirty.

waiting for the mi5 at a similar price. much higher specs at roughly the same price. supports UK 4G bands except O2. I use EE so will be fine

You don't loose all your data.

you can't get it via ota, you have to do it manually... instructions are on the oneplus website...

This ^^^^^ is a fantastic spot. The "normal" EU India model supports 800mhz - this one doesn't. That's a bit sneaky of OP.

​No UK 800 band on either of them. Just people like you love to buy glorified tablets with no UK bands but Chinese TDD Lte bands which don't work in UK.

​was considering a mate 8. thanks for the advice. the phone has gone under the radar

​Where is the normal marshmallow update for one plus 2 phone?

It is a China use only models they are selling. These models does not have UK 800 4g band, so won't get 4g on most UK networks which use 800 band. TDD Lte on these phones in useless in UK.

Another plus point for the Marshmallow update that I spotted on the way home tonight - the bluetooth audio streaming now supports the track names/album/artist to my head unit which was completely absent before the update.

Use code Lovemom for free priority shipping.

The OnePlus two comes with a free £20 styleswap cover and screen protector pre-applied. No case though.

If your going to get a device from the region Xiaomi MI5 or LE Eco MAX 2( 820 soc 6gb ram, qhd ) its a fully loaded device. The 128gd version over there is about £300.

Brilliant Phone, looking forwards to the 3rd generation.

Imo the nexus 6p is the worst nexus device I've owned. Having said that I wouldn't go for this either (I own a oneplus one). check out the meizu pro 5 at this price range it beats both of them. Firstly because of the exynos and not hot sd810, plus it has microsd, and 4gb ram.

It's a great phone and it's definitely worth a buy :sunglasses:

think it because you also get a free case now

16gb 5x over this? (If storage wasn't an issue)

I've just had the Marshmallow on air update for One Plus one

Yeah I am also scratching my head on why this has any heat at all as its been this price for ages. ( and was also posted )

not sure what the deal is here, its been down at this price for a few months???????

​6p best smartphone on the market

I have the one plus 1 and 2. The 1 was transformed by the Lollipop update and the 2 running the Marshmallow beta is like different phone than before. Ultra quick, very stable and a bargain at £250.

​Type C connector is electrically not Type C (not USB 3.1)on the One plus 2 just only USB 2.0. Also no qualcomm quick charge even through phone has SD 810 inside.

​The Lte or 4g technology in China and UK are totally different. UK, /Europe has FDD Lte while China and India have TD Lte. Also the frequency bands are different as well. But almost all phones including the iPhone are made in China, if you can get the UK model without paying the 20% VAT and delivery cost, you can get a bargain.

The One Plus 2 is a regression from the OnePlus One; to quote Anandtech:


Why? The screen is significantly worse, there are Snapdragon 810 performance issues (throttling/not utilising all cores), no NFC, no quick charge support, fingerprint scanner problems and terrible technical/customer support etc. Perfect example of being great on paper, but providing a lacklustre experience.

Could anyone offer some advice? My contract runs out in a few weeks... it just so happens my sister is returning from China about the same time.
Would there be any merit in her buying a phone in Beijing or Hong Kong and bringing back? I have no knowledge on phones... she says that the local brands are cheaper but have no Google stuff installed.
So I'm not sure whether to grab a bargain for an unusable phone, or play it safe and stick to some standard CPW deal.
Thanks

This device has a hardware flaw with the FIngerprint scanner, there are new reports daily on the forum. With the FP scanner going from being non responsive to total faiiure
There is also a problem with the laser focus whilst taking video's, this will effect every device as it can not be disabled. Video shots are constantly refocusing.
I would advise anyone to search under these 2 points on YouTube before buying.
Oxygen OS is buggy bit a new update has been released with reports being 50/50.
I would advised anyone interested to search YouTube under the 2 points I made.

not as good as the latest flagships but very good. I would say even better then my iPhone 6.

Are both the same price ? 499 against 249? I had the samsung note 2 and changed to the oneplus have niggles now and again, which phone dont? guess I could change it every year at this price difference :smiley:

Not lazy at all, I viewed it on my phone and will swear the retailer wasn't there but it appears it was.

I have the One Plus X. A very smooth phone, a fantastic phone for the price.

camera any good?

1+2 i would say equal 3:p

got a 1+1 and a 1+2 both brilliant phones, no issues.

I'm thinking of getting an upgrade from an s4 and was wondering if I should get this or a Nexus 6p. Any thoughts anyone?

Marshmallow is not available for on air update, you unless you prepared to download beta version of the software through 'dirty' update. This phone does have snapdragon 810 and 4gb ram but otherwise I found it very slow due to software issues /snapdragon 810 throttling due to overheating issue. Also does not have sd card slot or water proofing or nfc/touch payment option so makes a poor choice considered the options for new phone available now.

Its been this price for ages,expect another price drop soon when the Oneplus 3 is released in the coming months.

yes type C, fingerprint scanner as well. Seems well equipped in all departments.

My daughter has a OnePlus 1 and the whole operation, packaging delivery & support is very slick.

Deciding between this and a Nexus 5x.

Does this phone have quick charge now? How's the battrey life like

and the oneplus 3 is just around the corner. The oneplus x comes with a free silicon cover and screen protector as standard-dont know if the 1 & 2 is the same?

What's the retailer ?
