Note: From Wikipedia above, Malaysia uses Band 3 and Band 7.


########## AVAILABILITY & PRICING ##########

Unfortunately, stocks is going to be an issue. So, no official availability for Malaysia yet.


QUOTE
Sales will start in May 2014.

However, for the first few months, sales will be by invitation only and limited to 16 launch countries and regions. Currently, the launch countries are:
Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Taiwan, United Kingdom, and the United States.

China too.

As for the invite system, no details yet like how many units per invite, etc... But not that sales in China is NOT using invite system. It should be the normal/ regular way of selling phones. Only thing -- China version does not come with CynogenMod 11s.


The OnePlus One will cost:

Note: Hong Kong seems to be the cheapest so far.

For USA... 16GB will cost...

The 64GB... See spoiler. The price may make one go crazy... Yes, it pwns even Nexus 5.

How can it be so cheap? One possible explanation can be found here:
http://www.androidheadlines.com/2014/04/he...nsumer-low.html

Anyway, OnePlus did say later, they will reveal the cost breakdown. It's also interesting to note that OnePlus did mention before that their financial backer (BBK) is allowing them to have no profit for the first two years of operations. So, OnePlus says the phone is being sold without profit. They will make some money from accesosries like the Swap Style cases.


QUOTE
How do I get an invite?
The main method of getting invites will be through others. In the beginning, when not a lot of other people have the device, you'll be able to get invites through contest and raffles. We have planned ways so our early fans, as well as people who weren't here from the beginning will be able to obtain invites.

When do the next batch of invites roll out?
The first real batch of invites roll out late May, and will be of the 64GB Sandstone Black version. Any invites that you might have been promised before this, will be sent during this time.

How long are invites valid for?
For invites that you receive, they are typically valid for 24 hours. If they expire, they get returned to sender so someone else can get a chance to buy it. Alternatively, you can ask for the sender to resend it to you. For invites that you can give away, they are usually valid for longer, usually 1-2 weeks.

How many invites can I give away?
This varies. In the beginning, the quantities will be smaller, but increased as time goes by. You will frequently receive new invites to give away as production ramps up.

When do I receive invites to give away?
You do not automatically receive invites when you purchase a phone. We will need to manually roll them out according to our operations situation.​



########## STYLE SWAP COVERS ##########

QUOTE
It would be a shame to hide the One’s beautiful design under a bulky case just to avoid wear and tear. We've introduced our unique range of StyleSwap exchangeable back covers, so you can not only add a bit of a personality to your OnePlus One, but also easily swap out a dinged case without needing to replace the whole device. StyleSwap covers come in a range of materials and textures, including kevlar, bamboo and denim on top of standard silk and sandstone. Now you can customize your phone for the look and feel you prefer, and change it up whenever you'd like.

########## FROM WEBSITES ##########

from: http://bgr.com/2014/03/05/oneplus-one-spec...ocessor-memory/

The phone will come with CyanogenMod support for two years, a Cyanogen Inc. team member said on the OnePlus forums, and will pack Google Apps. Furthermore, buyers will have the option of doing anything to the phone when it comes to rooting, unrooting, installing stock Android or other custom ROMs without voiding the warranty. However, disassembling and/or “frying your CPU due to over-clocking will void your warranty” David said on Reddit.


QUOTE
from: http://bgr.com/2014/03/19/oneplus-one-desi...yleswap-covers/

“Engineers and designers spend a lot of time creating the specific look for a phone, but then people tend to cover it up with a case. Don’t you think that it’s a pity to cover up a beautiful device?” OnePlus CEO Pete Lau wrote. “We believe that the appeal and beauty of a device should speak for itself. Adding size and bulk to a phone for protection is a thing of the past.”

He further added that the designs “are durable and attractive, but still durable and strong.” Furthermore, some the StyleSwap covers will be made of their own respective materials, aside from the Silk and Sandstone versions. The company has also kicked off a contest on its Facebook page, with one lucky winner to be flown to Hong Kong to try out the back of the handset.

In the recent weeks, OnePlus revealed the phone will not have a user-replaceable battery, while a design sketch of the phone exclusively obtained by BGR revealed the One will have a unibody design.

It’s not clear how the whole StyleSwap customization process is done, and whether the phone will come in some default color versions, which could then be customized by special case purchases. Also, even though the StyleSwap Covers are replaceable, it’s not clear whether the phone will offer users access to a microSD slot for expandable memory.


QUOTE
from: http://phandroid.com/2014/03/25/oneplus-one-release-date-2/

That’s just a bit over a month from now, but we’ve waited this long for all the official details, and I’m sure we can hold out just a bit longer. What we already know about the OnePlus One has us excited. Here are the early specs we’re told to look forward to:
* Qualcomm Snapdragon 801
* 3,100mAh battery with QuickCharge (charges to 75% in 30 minutes)
* 5.5-inch 1080p HD display
* 13 megapixel f/2.0 Sony EXMOR camera with 4K video recording
* Custom version of CyanogenMod with touchless controls

All of this is supposed to be coming to us for under $400, though an exact price point has yet to be formally determined. The OnePlus One is looking to arrive in Q2 2014, so prepare those wallets if this is shaping up to be a device you can see yourself walking around with.


QUOTE
from: http://www.gsmarena.com/oneplus_one_detail...4-news-7974.php

What's interesting is that there won't be a 32GB version, as the One will be offered in 16GB and 64GB flavors. The larger storage option will come at a price close to what other companies ask for 32GB models, OnePlus notes. Rumored to be made out of metal, the One will also sport a notification LED.

The battery specs haven't been revealed just yet, but it did become clear the phone will last more than a day on a single charge. There's also a new and interesting technology, which it'll be utilizing, too.

The OnePlus One will be the only phone the company makes this year. It's also planning to double its size from the 150-employee company it is now. Those are very bold plans and we'll see how things pan out for the optimistic phonemaker.

The upcoming OnePlus One droid has made yet another appearance before its official announcement, paying the Antutu benchmark a visit. The most prominent member of the Cyanogen Mod team, the guys behind the handset’s ROM, shared a screenshots with its performance in the popular benchmark.

Even though the name of the device wasn’t explicitly confirmed, that fact the post was reshared by the official OnePlus account tells you everything there is to know here.

So now that we know what the device is, let’s focus on the score. 36,715 points is an excellent achievement, topping the Galaxy Note 3’s result even though the two handset share the same chipset – Snapdragon 800.

Obviously the CM ROM is somewhat lighter than TouchWiz and leaves some extra processing power at the user’s disposal.

As previously confirmed, the OnePlus One will go on sale in its first 10 markets in Q2 (which starts in less than a month). The pricing is confirmed to be below $400, but that’s probably before local taxes are applied.

note: its official that processor will now be Snapdragon 801 instead of Snapdragon 800.

QUOTE
from: http://liliputing.com/2014/03/oneplus-one-...in-q2-2014.html

The OnePlus One will be available in 10 countries at launch, including the United States. It’s expected to be sold directly to consumers for under $500. There are currently no plans to partner with wireless carriers, but the phone will be a GSM device that supports 4G LTE on AT&T and T-Mobile’s networks. It won’t support Verizon or Sprint, and there are currently no plans for a dual-SIM model.

We would like to thank all our suppliers. Without their support over the past few months, the OnePlus One wouldn't be possible.

they are still teasing everyone... releasing details very slowly. but from what they have been teasing so far, including one that said something along the lines of OnePlus One being inside Xperia Z1 -- implying they can get 5.5 on that physical size... there's not going to be a lot of room for a physical/ capacitive button.

i guess they are still very low key. sites reporting this phone is mainly from Android sites...

their leaks... so far, they have been teasing with little updates every now and then on their forum. i've added their 'leaks' in the 2nd post.

@evleaks twitter has only got 1-2 mention of this phone so far... so, really not much info at this time. especially how it looks...

Phone in a Box
http://forums.oneplus.net/threads/contest-...e-in-a-box.477/

The time has come for our craziest contest so far! Phone in a Box is kicking off.

We are so extremely confident about the build quality and materials of our phone that we just couldn’t wait to give one of our most eager fans a sneak peek.

In just a few short days, someone will be getting ready to fly out to Hong Kong to be the very first to experience the feel of the back of the OnePlus One!

To enter, each user will need to submit a short video to Instagram (now also on YouTube!) with the hashtag #phoneinabox. All that you have to do is tell us how you feel towards OnePlus. OnePlus has garnered quite some attention in the tech community as of late, and we want to hear your most honest thoughts. Bring it on!

How to Participate (and basic info):
* Post one short video to Instagram or YouTube (max. 15 seconds) telling us your feelings about OnePlus Tech
-- For Instagram: The video must include the @oneplustech tag and #phoneinabox hashtag
-- For YouTube: title should include OnePlus' Phone In A Box Contest: in the title and the hashtag #phoneinabox in the description of the video (we will make a playlist with all of them!)
* The contest will run from 9AM EST (2PM GMT+1) time on March 19th until 9AM EST (2PM GMT+1) on March 28th

The winner will be chosen by the OnePlus staff based on originality (so, please, try to be creative).

Grand Prize:
* Be the first in the world to touch the hottest phone of 2014 and tell everyone about it
* Free trip to Hong Kong including flight and accommodation
* Meet the amazing team of awesome people that will disrupt the tech industry
* Be the star of our next YouTube video
* The winner of the big prize MUST have a valid passport and over 18

Depending on where you are, you may be required to have a visa to visit Hong Kong. Please make sure to check in advance to ensure that you are able to accept if you win.

We'll fly the winner out to Hong Kong and provide two nights accommodation, all to be the first person to touch the back of the OnePlus One! We know that's quite a long way for some of you, so we're happy to book flights for the dates of your choice, allowing you to stay a little longer or do some traveling around Asia. We just ask that you be able to arrive between the 4th and 11th of April.

Participation Prize (everyone will get this!):
What happens if you don't have a valid passport or you can't travel on those dates?

You can still participate! Just make sure to add on your video description (both, for YouTube or Instagram) #ImInForTheGoodies hashtag and you'll receive one of our awesome swag-bundle, with one fantastic NeverSettle Fruit of the Loom cotton t-shirt, one travel mug and a pack of stickers!

We will announce the grand winner on Monday, March 31st at 9AM EST.

New kid on the block, trying to sit at the adult table. Better wait for others to test it first. Definitely not with KitKat as the software workload is heavy. Software update and service center will take time to mature. The price will be lower for taking risks with a new player.

figured maybe we should try to get benny888's opinion on this. no doubt there's not much info yet on this -- like how it looks, amount of RAM, etc...

but at least outright stated warranty not void when we flash (unless we overclock and kill the chip)... then there's the price (below usd400).

QUOTE
By now you may have seen or heard of +OnePlus, a young company looking to make an impact with the upcoming release of their first device.

From the beginning +CyanogenMod was their OS of choice to power the device; well before hardware was even planned or engineering units were produced.

I met Pete, their CEO, while he was still at Oppo and as Cyanogen Inc. was playing catch up with the N1 device. We were chatting about the incumbents in the device market and how CM's community and growth is driven by the users. We do not have a marketing campaign, no fulltime PR team and no ads on the Superbowl. But still we manage to grow at a steady rate. The growth we see is all about the users genuinely enjoying our work, the customization & expression of self it offers and advocating for it.

Most hardware vendors have lost sight of the user piece. Money is spent piling in new specs, features, and silly ads but it seems like no one takes that step back to say "is this useful for the people buying it?

Pete and I discussed what a new model for hardware vendors would look like. Not quite a modular phone (that market is a few years out), but something less rigid than the status quo. Much like CM lets the user's voice shine through the software, there should be a way for the users voice to resonate through the hardware. Listen to the community at the design phase for starters. Yes, you'll get wildly differing opinions, but this information is invaluable - they are practically telling you what it would take for them to buy your product, it would be downright stupid to ignore that. Maybe you can't get everything off of everyone's wish list, just showing that you are listening will keep those people interested in your future products.

The team at OnePlus understands this. They are asking the right questions on their forums, running community polls about hardware and software components. By focusing their efforts to online marketing only, they can pass on savings to the users. The build quality and design of the devices we have been working with are what you would expect from a premium phone. A top of the line phone with 90% of what most people want in a phone for a reasonable price, this should be the model OEMs follow.

I'm glad to say that we are involved in that revolution.

OnePlus One's CyanogenMod 11S OS revealed in leaked images
QUOTE
We already knew that the upcoming OnePlus One smartphone would be launched running a custom version of CyanogenMod OS. It turns out that this is called CyanogenMod 11S, and it looks quite different from the CyanogenMod 11 that’s been available since November last year.

Engadget today received two screenshots of the OnePlus One’s OS (see above), thus confirming that this is based on Android 4.4.2 KitKat. The image on the left shows the lock screen, which displays weather information, messages, and battery status, among other things. The screen looks fresh and quite elegant. Unfortunately, that’s all that we can see from CyanogenMod 11S at the moment.

As we told you last week, OnePlus believes that its One may be better than HTC’s newly-launched One M8 - not just because of its features, but also because it will cost no more than $400 unlocked (while an unlocked HTC One M8 costs $600, or even more).

The OnePlus One will be officially revealed on April 23. It will come with a 5.5-inch 1080p display, a 13MP rear camera from Sony, a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor, and a 3,100 mAh battery (with some special technology to make it last longer).

Japan Display shows off 5.5-inch, Quad HD display: could this be the display in the iPhone 6?
QUOTE
Japan Display (JDI) has announced that it’s developed a Quad HD (2560 x 1440-pixel) display, and it's ready to start mass production in April. The panel measures 5.5 inches, and it will be manufactured using JDI’s improved low-temperature poly-silicon (LTPS) technology that enables low power consumption of the module.

The big question lurking around this announcement is whether this could be the screen Apple uses in its next iPhone. Coincidentally, the alleged iPhone 6 is - so far - rumored to come in a 4.7-inch and a 5.5-inch version (sized just like that JDI panel). However, size is not the only reason that makes JDI's 5.5” Quad HD panel seem like a good fit for Apple's next big thing. Such a panel also matches recent reports from the Tokyo-based Nikkei publication, saying that Apple will rely on Japan Display (among others) for the displays of the alleged iPhone 6.

Nikkei also says that volume production of LCD displays for the upcoming iPhone is expected to start in the second quarter of the year (beginning in April) at Sharp’s Kameyama factory, Japan Display's Mobara manufacturing plant, and at an unknown LG Electronics factory. This timeline, again, matches JDI's current announcement.

At the same time, though, practice shows that Apple prefers to get parts that don’t have such wide publicity, and it would be very atypical if a component, that’s unveiled months ahead of the expected September launch of the iPhone 6, actually ends up in that final Apple device (or devices). Summarizing it all up, we’d say that - while it seems possible for Apple to use this 5.5” JDI display - it’s still only a speculation that should be taken with a grain of salt.

On top of that, we also ought to mention that Japan Display had already earlier unveiled Quad HD displays sized at 5.4 and 6.2 inches, but this 5.5-inch panel seems to be the first going into mass production. While big brands the rank of Samsung and Apple have not officially announced devices with Quad HD screens, Chinese phone makers started unveiling products with such high-res panels back in December (with the Vivo Xplay 3s). Putting the pieces together, we could well see those Chinese brands get the first shipments of the new high-res displays.


iPhone 6? Maybe not? Could it be Oneplus One? drool.gif But Oneplus one said is 1080p not this 2k display? hmm.gif

there's a lengthy discussion on the OnePlus forum about this. but unlikely to be on OnePlus One.

they have stated that 2k screen is not feasible at the moment. suck up processor power and battery. so, it;ll still be just FHD screen for OnePlus One.

hahaha... not a joke.

but everyone involved in the phone, including CynogenMod team is very tight lipped about this phone. they don't want any leak before 23rd April.

there's already a few CM team guys on the OnePlus forum, including Steve Kondik. but they are being careful not to say too much about the phone.

so... looks like we're still gonna have to wait.

btw, they have another contest. they are so confident with the camera on this phone that they will be sending three engineering units (specifically for the camera and will be in special case) to three lucky people.
see: http://forums.oneplus.net/threads/contest-...hoto-mania.815/

the three will get to try out the camera but will need to update and share on Google+ all the photos taken. then after all that, once phone is released, the three will also get one phone each.

calling photography guru... aspire2oo6

wanna try? you can test out the camera (if selected) and share what you think. if dun like the phone, can always give to me... wink.gif

just need to submit one photo onto their forum and they will choose three winners.

good luck to anyone joining...

updated with latest info...

Processor now confirmed to be Snapdragon 801 (AC variant) clocked at 2.5GHz. It'll come with 3GB RAM.

see: http://forums.oneplus.net/threads/the-onep...864/#post-35609

While we had initially planned to use the Qualcomm Snapdragon 800, we have been working very closely with Qualcomm and I am happy to announce that we will be offering the Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 SoC. This is not just any Snapdragon 801, but rather the 8974AC clocked at 2.5GHz to offer the best experience possible.


QUOTE
So far, we have also been quiet about the amount of RAM that the OnePlus One will have. I have been working very closely with our engineers here to determine the best way to absolutely maximize performance. After carefully considering each option, today I can tell you that the OnePlus One will come with 3GB of RAM. This way no matter how memory hungry your games and apps may be, you will never have to worry about delay due to a lack of available RAM.


did i mention it'll ship with CyanaogenMod and will have at least 2 years support from CM team?

all these... and more... for below usd400 (US pricing). smile.gif

good chance i might get one myself. just hope officially coming to MY.

well, i dun like to be someone to say 100% unless its already in my hands. even queuing up to buy anything... never know... comes to your turn, they put up a sign that says SOLD OUT.

for me... i still have my love for Note 2. but yes, this OnePlus is really giving me reasons to love it more with each tease/ announcement.

i just need some more 'proof' on the camera + some other usability...

I decide so early due to their consistence to #NeverSettle, been satisfied with spec so far, should not be disappoint on software/OS given CM was quiet for some times. Most important aspect is, below $400 price tag is a no-brainer for me, like how I unable to resist Nexus for many generation.

Everything is still on paper so nothing to discuss about. Most important is actual performance, actual price in Malaysia and availability. For all you know it will take 6 months for it to reach us, by then the specs already outdated and new generation phones will be out again.

some in the forum are saying OnePlus will actually give out the phone as well. let's see how accurate is the person who said that...

but I won't be surprised seeing how they actually rewarded a forumer with invite the launch.

they only have plans for one phone this year and it's going to be 5.5".

but seriously, if you have the chance, give a large phone a try. i can safely say those who have tried won't go back to smaller phones. there's no concern about not being able to fit into pockets, etc... millions of note users can tell you that. smile.gif

back to this OnePlus One. well, OnePlus said they'll be able to fit a 5.5" screen into the width of a Sony Xperia Z1. so, let's see how they do this on the 23rd April, when this phone is officially launched.

as for warranty... i guess until they officially sell in Malaysia, otherwise, its going to be like AP sets -- at own risk.

when made available to Malaysia, i think any claims -- ship back to them. if its their fault, they will cover all costs, etc... that's what they said in their latest update.

I dont like large phone as well, but initial speculation that OPO should be slightly longer than Nexus 5, so I had no issue with it.

Regarding availability, they recently reveal there will be online store.

Updates from One+ staff. Presumable Malaysia have no issue to purchase it online, had to hope for the best #NeverSettle

QUOTE
Let’s talk about how shopping at OnePlus will be like. Our goal is to make the OnePlus online shopping experience as friendly for the user as possible. To accomplish this, we chose to focus on three areas: localization, logistics and customer service.

Will the shopping experience be perfect from the beginning? I don’t think so. As a young startup, we’re bound to make a lot of mistakes on the way. However, with your help, patience and guidance, I’m confident that we can make the OnePlus shopping experience great together. We look forward to start shipping.

If there’s something that needs clarification after reading this post, don’t hesitate to ask.


Localization

When you visit OnePlus, it will feel like visiting any local e-commerce website from your country. It will be in your native language, the currency you pay in will be your local currency, and all aspects of the experience will be catered to your region. For instance on the product page where we talk about network connectivity, we will also show you what carriers the OnePlus One is compatible with in your country.


Logistics

Shopping online internationally can be painful, with long delivery times, poor communication, and customs issues. To improve this experience, we will have multiple warehouses in every continent we serve, and your package will always be shipped from the warehouse closest to you. This will help ensure safe and speedy delivery.

European customers are often worried about customs and VAT when purchasing goods from outside of Europe. By the time you purchase the OnePlus One, we would already have imported them into the European Union, and paid all associated fees and taxes. The device will be shipped from one of our EU warehouses. The EU is still trying to unify the laws and taxes across the different countries, so some countries might still act a bit differently. However, this means that in 99.9% of the cases, EU customers will not be faced with any customs issues when buying their OnePlus.


Customer Service

When you have questions or face problems with your product, there will be three ways to obtain help: knowledge base, forums, and by contacting our customer service team.

We will keep updating a knowledge base with the most common questions, so that you can find your answer immediately, without the need to wait for a response.

The OnePlus Forums is growing into a great community where people discuss the latest technology, help each other out, and make new friends. This is also a great way to receive help for simpler questions.

In addition, we’ll also have a dedicated customer service team ready to assist. As we start out, the customer service will operate from the OnePlus HQ. All agents will possess great English skills, and with the help of modern translation tools, will even be able to help you in your local language if you don’t feel like requesting help in English. Depending on how well our products are received, we may expand our customer service team to other regions in the near future.

If in the rare chance that your product has quality issues, you will be taken care of by the warehouse closest to you. Our warehouses also double as service locations, and depending on region and circumstance, will pick up your device or have you send it. Of course, if we are to blame for the issues, we’ll also take care of the costs.

i think the update is just very general. they had earlier said their initial launch country will be about 12 or so...

and if its anything like what OPPO has got, Malaysia is not on OPPO list. <-- i 'placed' a pre-order for Find 7a, and when i pulled down the country menu to select Malaysia, Malaysia is not in the list.

but the design... can't be that bad to the point where it ends up like the LG Vu. biggrin.gif

other things still waiting for confirmation are: microSD slot, official launch country <-- i think these are the two major things ppl still waiting to know

anyway, everything will be made known on 23rd April.

* Samsung Galaxy Note series are good, Wacom Pen is great but I'm not a fans of TouchWiz Nature UI/feature.
* LG G3 worth awaiting as the feature offer by LG are way better and useful than TouchWiz, but still I'm not a fans of LG UI and LG Mobile Malaysia sux big time.
* Motorola Moto X2/X+1 worth waiting too, and again, not a fans of AMOLED, but the Active Display require it for best combo and Always Listening looks cool and Almost Vanilla Android, no leak at the moment. Will wait and see...
* OnePlus One is like the perfect hardware of all kinds we always wanted for, but one question left is, is it unbrickable just like the Nexus where we always can flash Factory Image? And is it have enough of stock to supply worldwide fans?
* Nexus 6, well is a Nexus nothing more to say at least have to wait till October/November 2014.

After Belgium, could it be Brazil or Canada?

After Finland, maybe will be France.

After HongKong, I think must be alphabet (I or M), so I guess is either India or Mexico, but the possibilites of Mexico is low because all phone selling in US must pass through FCC.

After Netherlands, I think must be alphabet (N or P or S), so I guess possible of New Zealand, Poland, Spain, Singapore, but the possiblities of New Zealand are low since they don't even put Australia on the list. Europe countries are still high on the list.

Either United Kingdom or Vietnam for the last 2.

Countries alphabetically references: http://www.nationsonline.org/oneworld/coun...f_the_world.htm

After Belgium, could it be Brazil or Canada?

After Finland, maybe will be France.

After HongKong, I think must be alphabet (I or M), so I guess is either India or Mexico, but the possibilites of Mexico is low because all phone selling in US must pass through FCC.

After Netherlands, I think must be alphabet (N or P or S), so I guess possible of New Zealand, Poland, Spain, Singapore, but the possiblities of New Zealand are low since they don't even put Australia on the list. Europe countries are still high on the list.

Either United Kingdom or Vietnam for the last 2.

If you are the CEO of OnePlus, you got 2 option but only can pick one, either is Singapore or Malaysia, in terms of country economy, which one will you pick? I sure you know which is your priority. Just look at Xiaomi rather pick SG instead of MY as their SEA HQ. But it would very surprise if Malaysia is on the list.

they also have retail outlet (via reseller or sth like that) in India.

Italy... the guy they invited to the launch is from Italy. makes no sense to invite him and fly him all the way from Italy for launch and then tell him Italy is not in the initial list.

C -- Could be China. Could be Canada.

Yeah, could be China and India. These 2 countries are the world largest population. Even iOS are getting into China market, while WP makes his way to get gain market share in India too.

i heard OPPO got office here in Malaysia.

some 'news' is that OnePlus is using OPPO for distribution as well.

so... Malaysia is also a possibility. but maybe not the initial country.

not true haha. Maybe its the other way around. They dont want to compete with Oppo and shift towards European markets where penetration of Chinese brands are slower.

So you guys were right, doesn't look like there will be a Malaysian release. Since the spots are taken up by Spain, Portugal and Italy. Looks like its coming to Singapore.

ya, i think they are targeting European market. HK and Taiwan is just probably out of courtesy -- maybe Taiwan is to whack HTC. wink.gif

but see how... come 23rd. if i really, really like this phone, i might just get someone to grab it for me from HK. got a few frenz going there -- just hope timing is right.

High chance it's coming to Malaysia, as Pete had mentioned they targeting market like Thailand, Malaysia etc.
The list they release is for initial launch countries, eventually they will expand availability to more countries, including Malaysia. Just hope it's not too distant future. If like Moto X's case, late for 8 months, fans passion already dropped.

yup, i think translated version was:

i'm curious to know what was originally said. it could also be that they may launch in the countries only if they see some interest. judging by this thread -- kinda disappointing. only a few... heh heh...

invites are needed to purchase the phone?!? seriously?!?

i wonder how many units they have under production? 10? 100? 1000? they have less than 7k members in the forum. and not everyone is from the 16 launch countries. do they really need such a system to ensure to "out of stocks" issue?!?

I believe invite system are for them to estimate stocks needed. It's quite unique but I still think pre-order system is enough. Just open up on 23rd April since it wont available straight away. I would even goes into pre-order that open right now, where we pay upfront for ensure getting unit ASAP.

Seems like OnePlus had initial success in building hype, seeing how big company at China all launch new products at 23rd or nearby date to try steal away attention.

if anyone really, really must have this phone when it is finally available, good idea to login and change your country in the profile. put a launch country like USA or Hong Kong. dunno if they will issue invites based on country, but never hurts to try.

'Initial', they will push production line into more units and countries available. No issue for me to wait OPO until Nexus 6 available which will be end of the year.

as Someonesim said... they are using OPPO manufacturing line. the thing is... i think even the OnePlus One guys aren't confident in their product and didn't place the 'right' amount to the manufacturer. i mean... if they wanted to make forumers happy, they could easily just say that anyone who joined forum until this morning can buy one unit. there are only 6000+ members. how hard can it be? and since those not in the forum would not have heard of the phone... makes good sense to give to forumers. then there won't be any upset members.

but they didn't do it.

which makes me wonder... maybe they only like like 5000 units to sell or something?!?

i'd have thought they would have at least got 10000 units or maybe even 50000. no need to go million.

They have a perfectly good marketing channel on their forum with active participation & eager buyer waiting for their products. Instead of tapping on this market & getting phones to these early adopters ASAP, they ignore this part of market.

Since it can be turned on or off, similar to Xiaomi mi3, it allows for bigger usable screen. I don't see what's the advantage for having on screen buttons when so much screen is lost.

IMO advantages is orientation and usability. It could swap vertical/horizontal orientation, swap placement, hide when necessary. Those are only basic Google implementation. Other manufacturers or developers able to make it customizable with different icon/color/style, extra icon, swap icon position etc.
I wouldnt mind capacitive button if it had some degree of customization/orientation. For example, one thing I hate the most on Samsung is the right button was for 'back', it's really bad place to assign 'back' function key which you use the most, had to cramp your thumb to reach it. Samsung still stick to it even if Google uses 'back' on left, I guess for the sake of differentiate Samsung with other manufacturers, and it's stupid ( IMO ).
Using on screen button isnt the final form. There's gesture control, there's PIE. I've been using PIE for sometimes and love it. While it arguably will not be as fast as visible button, PIE is just super cool and without using screen estate. Once you get used to it, it's so fast that my friend ask me how I navigate me phone coz he didnt saw PIE.

i think the left back or right back boils down to just personal preference, as it differs for left and right hand users, and samsung's insistence on right back is probably to keep its consistency so not to upset its existing users who upgrades, since they started out with right back.

and u mentioned PIE as in Piecontrol?

Yup, and that's why I hate them, physical home button in 2014 ? But yeah they are too afraid to make change, too afraid for people not able to recognize Samsung Galaxy brand. It's just sad.

OFFTOPIC : PIE as in PIE control.

i think the latest leak is true, as per Pete's confirmation.

it also means, as some noted in their official forum, that the phone is actually longer than Note 3.

ouch...

anyway, still 2 days away from official launch.

i'm still very much attached to capacitive buttons... dunno why. biggrin.gif

Speculation on phone size is killing me. If in fact it was longer than Note3, and most likely will be same size or so with Z1, chances of my buying will be down to 50%. Hype is double-edged sword sweat.gif
After the Invite system, contest madness, forum mess, I just want to sit tight for 23rd April and see what they offer.

what i cannot understand from the so called leaked is the width.. What we all know is the OPO is suppose to be slimmer at the waist than a Z1 which is 74mm, but the leak indicate that the OPO is going to be 75.9mm wide?
So, if the leak is real, then how the hell did they took the photo of OPO hidden below Z1?

Maybe the so called leak is not real afterall?

most of these can be done if you root the phone. I already used pie before when I had Nexus 4 few years back. Nowadays lazy to root phone so i prefer the convenience of not losing my warranty and bigger screen. I too like the stealth look so my compromise is to look for phones with hidden capacitive buttons which can be turned on or off.

But the leak is supposedly coming out from the Chinese side of OnePlus
Plus it was more than a month ago that Pete said the phone would fit under a Z1
imo, anything could happen in this period of time.

i think most of us misunderstood that photo of the OnePlus One under the Z1.

it's under... don't necessary mean its smaller. if you take a closer took, you can see the end of OnePlus One under the Z1. so, it could mean that the OnePlus One is slightly wider... maybe 1mm on each side.

disappointed or not with the whole thing... personally for me... most important is how it feels. but since we can't really hold it (no physical shops planned), i guess taking the closest phone... the note 3. are you comfortable with it? i know i'm fine with note-sized phones. so... i should be ok.

but again... just 1.5 days away from official announcement and launch. dun get too worked out -- be it excited or sad. we'll soon see it. then we can decide whether they are good or not. but really at the moment... the price is their main selling point. essentially Find 7 specs (2.5GHz processor, 3GB RAM).

true actually... if wanna get, should try those gimmicky phones like whatever comes out from Project Ara and the leaked/ rumored Amazon phone -- 3D and 'almost touchless' interface (for menu, etc). the rest... its just an 'upgrade' -- more RAM, faster processor...

they also had a contest earlier on which let the winner fly to Hong Kong to feel the phone case (style swap covers). see:

with the invite system ,not likely. Also, with the invite system, looks like they have a small batch for the first production run. So unless you have friends in the initial release countries, dont expect to get one anytime soon which is a good thing if you ask me.. laugh.gif

if the device supports otg, that shouldnt really be a problem i guess. but if the price is reasonable like they said, dont think much and just opt for the 64gb then lol

64GB at $399, price of 32GB Nexus 5, I had absolutely no complaint and hesitate over this option.

for me... still prefer microSD coz OTG... sometimes have to carry extra cable and adaptor/ pendrive.

so... i'll see how it goes first. worst case, i wait for OnePlus Two. smile.gif

Had no idea, this is old one or new one, as I never watch the old one.

EDIT : Looks like it's new, as Cyanogen logo was new.

true... but actually, some of the members in their forum noticed their time is not correct for those overseas... so dunno how they got it wrong. should have also indicated Beijing time so we can all do our own conversion.

OnePlus is inviting people to apply for a chance to smash their OnePlus One, only 100 of which will be available. This is off-putting for sure, but OnePlus intends to sweeten the publicity stunt by making the device just $1 for those lucky 100 souls.

There will not be any issue with apps compatibility. It's running on latest CM Rom based on 4.4.2. And they support and love custom Rom.

i think it will link. then just populate details gua... not so sure.

anyway, not sure we're able to get invites... coz we're not in launch country. so, if you need to fill up your details... might wanna be smart and consider using launch country. but... that could complicate things later. so, your choice, ya?

in any case... get ready a phone to smash.

Everything you listed is still all based on personal preference. By no means i am saying what you say is wrong. Nowadays phones are always coming it out stuffs with almost similar features. I like the design philosophy on both of it but i guess i am leaning towards the one plus due to pricing mostly.

As for the being a start up company, it is being started by an ex Oppo VP and i read somewhere that both of them have the same financial backer.

Though I cant represent them, but some phone dont use SD card for good reason.
1. Google limitation over external storage on KitKat OS. Security concern.
2. Developer headache over external storage. Apps developer doesnt like external storage as apps may goes haywire when user remove SD card.
3. Slow SD card product. Install a cheap SD card ( most people bought normal cheap SD card ) into phone slow downs user experience, and users will blame phone for lagness and slow.

I seriously doesnt care if SD card reader missing from OPO as there's 64GB options and it's only $50 extra from 16GB. Also, this is not Samsung phone that took over large portion of storage for it's bloatware.

Yes, I don't even bother to open up my THL W11 to put in sdcard even though my current firmware supports it. 32GB is quite a lot if you don't store video.

I store lots of photos and video. also got a few big games. then can record 4k video... heh heh... but no player...

anyway, not water resistant. they explained it won't look as nice if they had to cover up a lot more. but who knows.. maybe OnePlus Two?

still... they said only 1 phone this year.

invite system... no one knows yet. but they said we can win invites from FB, forum, Twitter and Google+. only thing... I suspect they limit and give to only launch country. so pandai2 when create your account on their site.

There are actually certain royalty fees the manufacturer has to pay when they include a SD card slot.

But let's be honest, the 64GB variant is more than enough and it only costs $50 more, can't complain.

If its not water resistant, the teaser video is rather misleading since it shows water was dripping down on it.

they put a Z1 on top of the phone, but if looked closely, you can see about 1mm of the OnePlus One on the dude, so two sides, 2mm. I think that's about right - 2 mm wider than Z1.

they put a Z1 on top of the phone, but if looked closely, you can see about 1mm of the OnePlus One on the dude, so two sides, 2mm. I think that's about right - 2 mm wider than Z1.

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.

Yes because honesty is very important in business, if the company lies to you on the 1st day of launch, it's not a good sign.

Yeah that is definitely true especially as a brand new company that is just starting up but nonetheless there will be still be sales going in as much as you can see to some response in this thread which speaks of its own. It is a tad big for my taste but the price itself is something that is hard to put it aside especially with the specs it's boasting. I would still wait for slightly longer to hear more feedbacks from early adopters to see if theres any major issues. Plus wouldn't go as far as smashing my phone to just get one and even that does not guarantee in getting an invite lol

Yup. I've read that. In my opinion One Plus can be said being a little overconfident at their end by doing the marketing hype, misleading teaser, the smashing phone stunt as well as the nonchalant comparison with other manufacturers but they can be forgiven because they are new - despite the person behind the company was a VP at OPPO. Nonetheless they did deliver in certain aspects and the price, as i would emphasize it like a broken record, is an immediate killer especially for today's market for phones - or phablet. Now all we can wait is a proper review of the phone itself to see if it really justifies for a purchase.

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.

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

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.

u ask them what is their standard 5" phone la tongue.gif

the fact is, who says a 5" screen phone can't be big? any rules and regulations saying a 5" phone must not be bigger than 145mmx75mmx9mm? u can make a 5" screen phone with a dimension of 160mmx80mmx10mm...
at the end, just a matter of whether anyone wants to buy that "brick" phone or not

haha... y ask me to explain? ask oneplus la  tongue.gif

but my opinion, again, that line said a 5" phone. not z1. maybe their their standard of a 5" phone is just different?

ya... that's why i mentioned in the official forum... maybe they use a 5" phone with 10cm bezel as benchmark... :S

anyway, from engadget... seems like china version comes with Color OS instead. so if want CM 11s, need to flash.

Basically I don't care if they fit a 5.5in phone on a 4" bezel...

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 any 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)
*
I would say OPO has made it if say, comparing to the Z1. About the same width, only 9mm longer than Z1 to fit in that 0.5". What if they use LG G2, then I would say the OPO simply much wider/longer for the additional 0.3". So I find nothing wrong with their marketing strategy, just that we misinterpret it when we saw something better out there.

Let's be fair, compare to what they've shown. Yes, they could squeeze a bit more provided the buttons are not there. The size of LG G2 anyone? I LIKE THAT TOO! laugh.gif

But like we said, its hard to please everyone, some like the capacitive buttons, but I don't like it as well as I'm use to Nexus 4 already. tongue.gif

QUOTE(Someonesim @ Apr 24 2014, 10:02 AM)
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.
*
I guess the SD card lays some problems somewhere, some instability and performance degrade when certain apps goes into it. For some, they just store videos/photos/music, then its fine. When 64Gb is still not enough for most, complains will still there when 500Gb phones surface. Believe it, human will #NeverSettle, they just demand for more. notworthy.gif

Wireless charging is still immature, I do have a LG wireless charger as dust keeper. Nothing beats cable.
The only mistake is, #NeverSettle, the double-edge sword. cool2.gif

OIS- Quite important I guess. OIS is for both photo and video right?

MicroSD- Can't be bothered. I'm using a 16GB Nexus 5 and still there's like 6-7GB of extra space

USB 3.0- Apart from a possible faster charging rate, I don't really see a need for myself because I seldom transfer media tongue.gif

OIS... depend on sensor.... but by looking at Oppo Find7 which also no OIS... I don't think I will be bothered

MicroSD... just get the 64GB ones... I will not miss MicroSD....

WirelessCharging... a gimmick... not a requirement

For the Price... I can compromise all this....

It has IS but i guess you get some you lose some. Afterall a phone's camera is not to be treated like an actual camera but rather something you whip out and snap a photo at your convenience. Nowadays people are demanding tad too much out of their smartphones, expecting to be as good as an actual DSLR whilst hoping it will not be an overkill in price. Myself for one is fine without the OIS. The camera on the phone is something for me to quickly take out snap a simple but good enough photo without having the hassle of bringing along an actual camera - unless i am planning to take actual good photos then i'll bring along the camera nod.gif

for me... my point is... the did mislead coz they indicated 5.5" fit into 5". but yes, they never said which 5" phone. for all, it could be some weird 5" screen in a tablet body.

anyway, its not that i'm super upset or anything, just that... that is why many are calling them liars in the forum. and i can see why.

People call what they want... and I bet a lot from competitor phone company hahaha...

to me what I see is a great design phone... and the spec is on par with all the flagship phone in the market with a great price... now we know how much profit Samseng and HTC take!!!

A good OIS should be hardware based, therefore everything you capture through your camera lens (both stills and video) will be complimented with OIS for additional stabilisation.

There are also OIS which is software based, like LG G Pro 2, skip the video to 5.38

I guess this can be looked at in many ways. Yes they did mislead people and they did not come clean from it but i believe they probably have their reason for doing so. As i posted back earlier, they are biting more than can chew but most new companies will make some mistakes and they will definitely learn from it. I won't say they will go down just for a misinformed or misleading on just the size of the phone.

In another way, they did deliver a phone to market where people want a good top spec phone with an attractive to boot. Right now all we can do is just wait for a full review of the phone. I would like to get the phone, i'll get used to the size anyways. Right now just wait and see if anyone wants to bring in the phone tongue.gif

faster availability, not invites

service center in malaysia for warranty/repair purposes

not putting down any phones... but my opinion...

removable battery --> not really necessary since even my personal use, i've never had to remove my phone battery, other than to insert microSD and SIM card. i used to say i need this, but seriously?!? the only reason is 2-3 years down the road when battery deteriorates and i still wanna keep the phone. well, hopefully this one dun use a lot of glue... smile.gif

microsd slot --> ya... this one... i also wish i can have this.

superzoom --> err... if you mean that 50MP thingy, i believe OnePlus One also have that. some of the shots using the test camera unit shows a size that means 50mp

superfast charging --> i originally thought it was nice too. till i saw MKBHD's review. it is just a 4A charger. i think some would have read about how the faster the charger (higher A rating), the warmer the battery becomes during charger. and warm/ heat = battery's enemy. it deteriorates the battery. i can now see why Find 7A package comes with extra batteries.
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


pulsed notification light --> this is so cool. ya... wish this is there. but even Find 7A... only 1 colour. not very useful.

faster availability, not invites --> true.

trusted company vs startup company --> no comments.

service center in malaysia for warranty/repair purposes --> repairs will be via shipping back to OnePlus warehouse... according to their website, they will bear shipping. but that also means longer downtime?!?

my comments above refer to 7A since we don't really have a 7 out yet.

agreed.

but i wish they come clean and apologise on this to the upset fans.

they have apologised before, as recent as this week/ last week... during that post mania thing contest. they apologised and gave out 10 phones for that contest instead of 3. and i think it just made them the better company.

but still... to me... this phone looks good... again... just personal preference... i wish they had a microSD. then to me... its a 'perfect' phone. smile.gif

Myself hate capacitive button, takes up bezel space, prefer software button like Nexus.

For those said 64GB not enough, actually would like to ask if they did purchase SD card of size 64GB/128GB or not ? Same thing to those demand removable battery, actually would ask them whether they did purchase extra battery for their sammy or not ? Original battery are much expensive than power bank, I highly doubt they would buy spare battery.

Why camera lover this might not be an option ? Smartphone with great photo capability does not all have OIS, iPhone 5/5S, Sony Z2, Samsung S5 all dont have OIS. OnePlus One using one of the best camera sensor available now, and there's sample shots from users received camera test unit and photos taken are capable of challenging basic DSLR.

OIS doesnt work alone, it cooperate with camera software and driver. These smartphone manufacturers are getting better at software image stabilization, example at Z2's video recording review below.

any updates on the invites? did anyone on here get one? is it country restricted?

no updates yet, as far as i know. and seeing how its not going to be on sale so soon... the news might come next week.

country restricted or not? no idea yet but i'd think it is... coz if they give out invites to ppl who can't buy it, kinda silly. for the initial launch, only 16 countries. in asia, only China (including Hong Kong and Taiwan).

It's not paying for future, the tech is here. What I meant wireless charging had big possibility become standard requirement every phone will need, just like camera etc that used to be gimmick on phone.
I'm almost buying myself a wireless charger, but was on hold because of OnePlus, need confirmation that it support, but now it turns out doesnt support cry.gif

I think the reason they did not include wireless charging is because they wanted to reduce weight and also implement the styleswap covers. IMO, wireless charging is incredibly useful but the tech is kinda fragmented right now. There are I think two main technologies and going one way over the other is somewhat like compromising and is maybe going against their motto of never settling.

As for the microsd, cant think of a reason why. Maybe because they think the 64gb will be good to please those who need extra storage.

You know when they first mentioned wireless charging I thought it was going to be me being able to walk around the house holding the phone while the phone is charging. Imagine my disappointment once I found out I have to set the phone on something to charge it. I mean I need to reply to messages how am I supposed to when I can't move it?

Yea I think when we talked about it among each other at the time wireless charging was not in existence yet. I think it was 5 years ago or so.

Now got money also can't buy. According to forummers here and there, one needs invitation to purchase the phone. So yeah, this is one of the premium and arrogant company. Even prada, gucci, LV, you just walk in buy and pay. laugh.gif

nolar, i won't say they are arrogant. they did explain their initial stocks... not enough. that's why they are not rolling out to all the countries at one go and that's also why they use invite system. if the stocks are no longer an issue, they did indicate its possible to remove the invite system.

but shouldn't they prepare enough stock? produce more at 1 go will lower down their cost anyway.

they shared some info about the cost to produce phones in their AMA @ Reddit. i am guessing they don't have that much capital to do a lot of phones.

anyway, they had said earlier on:
* they are not making any money from this phone (their financial backer give them 2 years to be non-profit)
* they will share the cost breakdown later on
