much more than that.. also much taller.. dissapointed that actual phone size isn't as advertised. In fact it's even larger than the Find 7. If they didn't come out with that teaser it would have been more honest.

honestly, i dun feel they were misleading.

they have always been cheeky and teasing with their ads... have you seen their comparisons with M8, S5, etc?

and when they showed the photo with Z1... they did say under. they never said hidden. if looked closely, you can see a bit of the OnePlus One egdes... so, it is slightly thicker.

there's also a reason why that Z1 photo was only showing half the Z1... because naturally, it will be longer. this was actually speculated and mentioned many times in their official forum by other members. but you know la... same like in LYN forum... ppl come in... see one thing... but never read the rest... then start posting and whacking.


that Z1 photo was also showing their teasing nature... i am very certain they never said anything about being smaller than Z1. ppl assumed. well, if ppl assume wrong, how can you blame the company in the end?

i was already prepared for it to be longer... since there's rumours of capacitive buttons back then. needed space as well for them...

When we first started our journey, we thought users wanted a 5” screen, as it tends to be most people’s reported comfort limit when holding a device. At the same time, other users have been demanding larger screens, so we also understood a bigger screen offers users a better experience when it comes to reading, watching videos and gaming. So, why not fit a 5.5” screen into a 5.0” handset? After a lot of trial and error, our engineers figured it out. Need proof? Believe it or not, there’s a OnePlus One under that Sony Xperia Z1, a 5” screen phone that many people have said great things about.

some sales date info from their official forum:

Selling in china will come in three part:

1. 300 units at 1 yuan : 05/05 (probably equal to our smash the phone contest)
2. First sale for forum users : 05/21 (probably invitation)
3. Global selling in china : 05/28 (because they sell on shop in china)

That let us have a lot of hope about international availability.

Secondly: Oneplus One have a good audio system (translation is poor but the value seems to be very great)

Thirdly: International version is -as we know- coming with CM11S, Chinese version run ColorOS (from oppo) BUT they can run CM too AND SmartisanOS / MIUI V5!!!
I'm a big big fan of MIUI as on the find5 there will be an official MIUI version.

hope i don't make too much mistake (especially with the availability) cuz the translation is very hard.

Agreed with you.

Size... Its hard to please everyone, one finds 4.5" is good, another preferred 5", some felt 5.5" the best. As far as I concern, they didn't promise anything with the size. But some can't accept it(because the leaked image of Z1) thus called it as lies. laugh.gif

Sometimes, I just can't brain what do those so called fans want really. A small startup company comes out with fantastic(or may I call it fancy/gimmick?) features that need years and load of golds to research? sweat.gif

I'm more concern towards the stability of the ROM, and the continuous support for the device. whistling.gif

To add on, FIRST of ALL, I wanted to say that I'm not Apple hater or what. But the 4" screen of the 5s is junk to me. It is too small(maybe my eyes are junk), 5" is best for me, but the size of note 3, hmmm... Me too need some time to adapt I guess... hmm.gif

What they did is exactly what Apple did, just make it longer to fit larger screen. biggrin.gif

well, believe or not... that's another thing. but based on that quote (official post by OnePlus), it would seem they did mislead the people... no wonder got many upset ppl in the forum.

and actually, i recall in the forum... many started doing renders... taking the Z1 size and then doing renders based on whatever information was available at that time. it is actually possible, you'd get very small bezels on all sized. but i recall... it is possible (or maybe just slightly longer than Z1 -- too lazy to look back at the forum... so messy now)

If you're participate a lot in their forum, there's so many fans demanding this and that, keep quoting #NeverSettle
Features like SD card slot, wireless charging, rapid charge tech etc had been raised and keep quoting #NeverSettle, but different person with different requirement, surely cant satisfy everyone.

well, i agree they try to mislead people into think this phone is smaller than z1. they are not actually lying cos they did not actually said anything about smaller size than z1, but merely mislead la.

as the photos, obviously they did some optical trick, placing both phone at the right angle and so on and thus we can't see the one underneath z1. they did not say much about the pic, just say their one is under z1 and show us the photo and ask us to see for ourselves. but if we look at the physical size measurement, confirm it's larger than z1 la.

thus, i agree they mislead consumer, but still not to the extend they lied.
