truthfully speaking, after using asus, htc, oppo and now opo, i can't tell any difference.. OPO responsitivity is normal (on XHPH44S), i think before the update, several users reported problem with multi-touch..

i used my wife's FInd 7.. screen is responsive enough. same with my OPO. mine with the Orzly TG screen protector (any good protector would give same result as without SP i supposed).

The best way i think is to test the screen responsitivity at the shop

Hi there, welcome to Android

my suggestion, as this is your first foray into Android, buy a phone that comes with original warranty.. as much as i ADORE the OnePlus, it doesn't come with original warranty (i mean the one where you can exchange/repair without additional costs).. at least in Malaysia.

Go for G3.. search for reviews from AndroidAuthority website.. i find The Verge site reviews tend to be biased towards Apple stuff..

I can recommend the OPPO Find7 or Find7a if camera speed is your priority; the ColorOS camera speed in both OPPO phones are fast. ColorOS itself is not that laggy, but I personally prefer stock or near stock UI (Trebuchet, Google Launcher, Nova).

I can't say much about Samsung phones; i generally stay away from Samsung because their design aesthetics are not my cup of tea.

As for the OnePlus One, it's an excellent phone provided that you:
1. check the phone physically at the shop to make sure the phone is working correctly.. some possible issues include signal strength, random reboots.
2. don't mind the camera lag issue. i find the LenovoCamera app a very good substitute to the stock camera when it comes to fast pic snapping.
3. take really good care of it (the warranty issue i mentioned earlier)

nope, i dont think its in the PlayStore, have to install via apk download.. can search the XDA forum for the link to download

addendum: the Lenovo camera app is fast, but i personally feel the pic quality to be average.. maybe it's just me being a person who can't really take pictures well

if it hangs, try pressing the power button for about 10 seconds until it vibrates.. should restart normally

reading the comments over the thread at OnePlus forum, I wonder if they really deserve the phones with questions like "how come my phone didnt get it?" , "is it available for indians OPO?" , "hot to get the OTA?" .. questions that have been asked over and over again everytime a new OTA emerges.. if it's genuine installation/update problem, i'd understand.. but the questions come across as whiny and petulant, you'd think they'd be better off with an iPhone ..

sorry, rant

must be really close to stock android.. personally i won't mind, but CM has lots of awesome tweaks.. hopefully there're some degree of customization on OxygenOS..

my double tap to wake is working fine.. it's slightly slower. not stucky, but sticky.. i can live with that.. other than maxxaudio, i can't really see much improvement over 44S (already had swiftkey before)

correct me if im wrong, but that High Accuracy GPS is probably the culprit.. you dont need it unless you're using Waze of Google Maps for actual navigation.. that thing drains battery..
