ONEPLUS ONE : REVIEW

ONEPLUS ONE : Never Settle!!








                        First look at your phone and then look at this masterpiece.This company has just started and look what it produces.The OnePlus is a Chinese company setup  some years ago and this flagship device is catching up all the buzz around the town.The OnePlus One is just a flawless device which has put up the design sector to all new bar.Just look at anybody will just be in love.But that is not all it packs all the power and features of all the flagship phones out there.Oh and it sells for only $299 unlocked and free of contract,which is even less than the Nexus 5.Seems a little over-ambitious for small startup with no official track record?. So let's look at what it has got.
              

HARDWARE:

                    First of all it does not look like a $299 phone.It's arched back , polycarbonate build ,elegant chassis and top-of-line specs. could easily say that it some high-end phone of some famous company and can be easily fool someone into thinking it is a $600 phone. OnePlus has an easy way of operating as Google did with it's Nexus line to have minimum profits but keep the price tag low.

                The One  sports a 5.5 inch display and is 1.7mm taller and 0.6mm thicker. OnePlus One was as pleasant an experience as you're going to get with any phone larger than 5.3 inches. It features an arched back, which makes it rest more naturally in the  hands, and its blunt edges give the fingers plenty of room to rest comfortably. One's 5.5-inch 1080p IPS LCD panel has a pixel density of 401 ppi.But given the fact that the display is not such crisp or sharper than it's competitors, but at this high level of ppi you cannot make out the difference.the colors are natural, making them more satisfying to stare.If it bothers you so much the firmware allows you to change the settings as per the user-requirement.
             
                       It features a slab of Gorilla Glass 3 for scratch resistance, which should help for those chance encounters with keys, pens and other similar objects. There's a 5-megapixel front-facing camera near the top next to the earpiece and sensors, and you'll also find a set of three capacitive buttons at the bottom, which can be turned off in favor of virtual soft keys.A volume rocker and micro-SIM slot line the left side of the One, while a power button adorns the right. There's a 3.5mm headphone jack on top, and you'll find twin speaker grilles flanking a micro-USB port on the bottom.But does not come with a microSD slot that's a great disappointment so as the content dat is growing the only option is to go for the 64 GB version.
      
                         The gently curved back is minimal, featuring a 13MP camera with dual-LED flash, noise-canceling mic and logos for OnePlus .The back cover is interchangeable, which gives you the ability to customize .OnePlus couldn't realistically pack every possible feature that now exists into its perfect phone -- especially at such a low price -- so if you want something with wireless charging, a microSD slot, waterproof design, aluminum build or a removable battery, this may not be the perfect phone for you.   


SOFTWARE :

                         It's quite unique that we dont speak of software as all the majority have the android versions on them ,So why is this different it is a android phone but a custom rom in it .Yes as the company has tied with the Cynagenmod ; a custom rom .This phone comes officially with their latest build 11S, based on Android 4.4.2 directly baked in.  

                      So to give you a quick brief on Cyangenmod let's start.Hold up. What exactly is CyanogenMod? It's custom firmware based on the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) and gives the user more freedom to fiddle around with settings, icons, themes and... well, nearly every aspect of the Android experience. Cyanogen's one of the most popular pieces of third-party firmware in the Android universe and can be installed a wide variety of devices, but the experience is even better on the One because it was built into the phone 

           
                                 The One lets you use gestures to activate different parts of the phone. Oddly, this is one of the few parts of the OS that isn't customizable. A double-tap wakes the device; a V motion activates the LED flashlight; two fingers up/down will turn on your music; and a circular gesture gets you straight into the camera.Lastly,the One's best features: always-listening voice recognition, thanks to Qualcomm. CM throws in a few modifications of its own to add more customization. After the phone learns your voice, you can say "OK Google Now" "OK OnePlus" to activate Google Now or any app of your choice.

CAMERA :

                   The OnePlus One  uses a 13-megapixel rear camera with a Sony sensor, six-element lens setup and f/2.0 aperture for lower-light shots. Additionally, the front-facing camera tops out at 5MP -- a sizable improvement over the 1.3https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=2407731165013580392#editor/target=post;postID=2421729901450458771-megapixel sensor on the N5.The camera app is a special flavor made by the CyanogenMod team. It consists of three circular buttons on the side for taking stills, video and panoramic shots. Along the top sits some settings, scenes and a toggle for the front-facing camera. In addition to HDR, night mode, landscape and a few other standard options, the One has less-traditional scenes like snow, sunset, party and theatre. These may offer some fun ways to experiment with your camera
                     When it comes to performance, the camera  is decent, but hardly stellar. Colors appear more natural but they're still slightly less saturated than they should be.But said that it lacks in camera performance as it's been compared to the flagship phones of the HTC and  Nokia series.But is somewhat better than the Nexus.
                       
                           Video recording here is solid, with up to 4K resolution and a bit rate of 20 Mbps. You can also film in 60 fps slow motion at 1080p and 120 fps at 720p The front mics seemed to be more powerful and is quite troublesome as the subject you want to capture cannot be heared  as good as the one with the phone.The sound is really a let down in this department otherwise the quality is good and has a good framerate.

PERFORMANCE AND BATTERY LIFE :

                              The phone sports a 2.45GHz quad-core Snapdragon 801 (MSM8974-AC), a 578MHz Adreno 330 GPU and 3GB of RAM.So all seems butterly smooth but is it?? The gaming experience is still slightly sluggish with the occasional frame skip, but it's not very noticeable unless you're paying close attention.CyanogenMod's firmware gives you the option to change your performance profile to one of three modes, ranging from power conservation to battery sucker.
 
                      
                             The Call quality of the device is not good , the mics become soft and the sound is more troublesome to the ears . But One has made up to with by telling it will release an  update for it.
Battery life, at least, is a bright spot. The One has a 3,100mAh non-removable cell that's just a tad smaller than the battery inside the Note 3. What's more, it's actually larger than what you'll find in the GS5 and One M8. On most days, It made it to the end of the evening with around 5-10 percent life remaining.

THE WORD :

                 It doesn't make sense that the OnePlus One should be this inexpensive. It looks elegant, feels solid and performs smoothly, and it doesn't show any signs that it's a first-generation product from an unknown company.
                    Told that we would really like water-proof (or even water-resistant) feature and a wireless charging , NFC.But expect said all this it's a $299 phone what do you expect??.Saying that the One is already increased the benchmark of  a low end device can have such great specs.All the Specs are given below.
              The OnePlus One is not as perfect as it should be? but which phone is??.A few missing features? Sure, no problem. What matters is that it's perfect for you, and it fits all of your needs.


THE Q? :

                    Will the OnePlus One be a starting of Low Price High Specs beginning??.
