OnePlus ONE- Never Settle

Hello friends welcome to my blog http://techsonwheel.blogspot.in/. In this quarter of year we have seen fantastic flagship Android smartphones being released. Whenever we hear about flagship device of a company us thing about high end specs, also meant high price point. One Chinese company that is looking to completely shake up the status quo the OnePlus, bringing their 2014 Flagship Killer here.

        The OnePlus One stands out with their “NEVER SETTLE” tag, but the biggest question remains will it be able to stand true to it or not? The One boosts a 5.5inch 1080p full HD JDI screen with LTPS technology for a higher pixel density and sharper pixel density and sharper picture. It has Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protects the screen against scratches, and with 178 degree vision.

            The performance is blazing fast in the device as it features the most powerful processing package currently available. Under the hood it has a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor, clocked at 2.5 Ghz and backed by Adreno 330 GPU. It also has a 3 GB of RAM which is a bit of rarity in other certain flagship devices. The device runs on Cyanogenmod 11S which is the latest OS by Cyanogen. The software behind CM 11S knows how to the take full advantages of its processing capabilities. The CM 11S has a lot of customisation underneath and thus making it feel like stock android. It can be customised with widgets or shortcuts and icon through the settings or with their own theme engine. There are many more other features like double tap wake up, on screen gestures or draw gestures for a various tasks.

            On the hardware side the One has 16 GB and 64 GB variants at different price points, but it does not offers expandable storage like other flagship devices which shouldn’t be surprising considering the low price point. The device features Touch and Go, 3 MIC for noise cancellation, Bluetooth 4.0, Miracast, USB OTG, gyroscope, onscreen or capacitive buttons and all the other basic features. And atlast it packs a 3100 mAh non-removable battery.

            The One has a 13 MP Sony Exmor IMX214 sensor with f/2.0 aperture along with 6 physical lenses in it making it an amazing shooter for low light conditions and also producing sharper image in bright daylight. The cyanogens has its own camera application which also help you change the settings for ISO, exposure compensation as well as change the codec for video capture. The colour looks saturated and is not washed out and is beautifully balanced in all proportions. It has a front facing 80º wide angle camera of 5 MP, making it a great shooter for selfies. 4K video capture is available in it but surely you would run out of space in 16 GB model. Slow motion video is also available at 720p for 60 or 120fps capture that yield half or quarter speed videos. Finally while capturing photos you have do all the fun with all the live filters that are available.

            Finally we get on to the price the 16 GB Silk White comes with a price tag of $299 while the 64 GB Sandstone Black for $349 only. At this price range there is Moto X available for $299 but is not powerful as well. Next we have 16 GB Nexus 5 at $349 the closest competition of OnePlus One. The main rival would be the Chinese brand Oppo Find 7a at $499.

            The OnePlus One is a fully loaded device which packs an impressive specs sheet affordable price.
