Review and Features of Oneplus One Smartphone: Phone of Dreams

The phone which has created a revolution of sorts is none other than OnePlus One. It has come with a bang and has posed a stiff competition to the renowned names such as Nexus 5 and Galaxy S5 in just a short interval of time. Priced at $299 or £229, the phone has indeed gathered quite a lot of eye balls.

Basic Features Which Are Worth Mentioning

Design of OnePlus One Smartphone

You might term this phone as a substitute to HTC One M8 and Galaxy S5, but it is comparably bigger with 5.5-inch screen. However, when it comes to the resolution, it is the same at 1920 x 1080. Noteworthy thing is that, it is priced almost half. Having said that, it is quite handy and you can have a firmer grip with just one hand of yours as well. It indeed feels awesome while you take hold of it. The phone is primarily made of plastic shell which extends around back as well as sides of the device. Having said that, it doesn't have unibody construction and one can easily remove the rear panel for customizing it. The thing which separates its rear cover from the glass front is its metal-effect plastic rim. The phone has tiny pair of stereo speakers which is situated at its bottom edge. The position of the buttons is quite commendable and it compliments to the size of the phone as well. Unlike Samsung Galaxy S5, its rear finish is somewhat rough which not only make it stand out from the rest, but also adds substance to the phone.

You can get in white as well, but with a lesser storage of 16 GB. You should refrain yourself from removing the back of the phone often, in order to ensure its longer life.

Dimensions – OnePlus One

OnePlus One is 153 mm tall, 8.9 mm thick and 76 mm wide and it weighs around 162 kg.

Display

The manufacturers of OnePlus do all they could to make it the best. Hence, the phone as IPS display which primarily reflects on the fact that it ensures sharpness as well as accuracy. Although, the default brightness can be termed to be a bit week, but as you set according to your desired level, then you won’t get anything short than impressive deep blacks.

Network

Its top notch hardware has indeed added feathers on its cap. However, it doesn't have 4G. Considering the lack of this important feature, the phone is undoubtedly devoid of a thing, which shouldn't have been missed at any cost.

Final Thoughts

Although being a phone from China which is famous of imitating the designs of other companies, yet this phone has carved a niche for itself with its own overall looks. Its simple design gives another reason for the popularity of the phone. Although, it can’t be matched at par with that of renowned brands, yet it offers a value of its own. Needless to say, that thanks to the overall presentation and looks, one can’t deny that the phone gives a feel of the mixture of Nexus 5 and Nokia Lumia 1520. You surely want to get hold of this phone once for sure.
