OnePlus One

What sort of shortcomings ?

lol. just some stupid ones. double tap to wake missing. turbo charging missing (though everyone tells me that it charges quite fast using the official charger) and of course wireless charging (i foolishly spent 5k on the google nexus wireless charger lol). plus i only read bad things about camera software optimizations. i read that the sensor/camera is the same unit that motorola is using on nexus 6 but the software customizations mean that the end result is generally poor. (hearsay)

Yup that sounds like a fair reason.... IMO: Charging is pretty fast on their own charger. I don't use the camera much on this phone nor am I an expert in photography but the few images I took were quiet satisfactory in my opinion

hehe. have not seen enough samples. as long as it is better than nexus 5, i would be fairly happy. but still planning to wait for a few months. hopefully they would not wait till the end of the year for their next model. or maybe i would just buy mi4 assuming they bring in the 64GB model for a year. don't think i am interested in 4G support so that's not an issue for me. but then opo is probably still a better buy than mi4 64GB. what a mess. moto x is just too expensive for what it offers today.

[1] Actually Double Tap to wakeUp is coming in Oxygen OS, afaik..
[2] I repeat (using my secondary prepaid number in OPO), Charging is pretty fast in bundled charger (slow in others)..
[3] Even my Wireless charger is lying unused. But Qi is a standard n surely future phones will support. Those chargers never go waste I guess..
[4] Camera sensor of OPO is same as in Nexus 6 -- How? As Nexus 6 has OIS and OPO doesn't have..
[5] Oppo (see the double P) camera can be used in OPO and gives super result, I heard...
[6] If Nexus 5 is your benchmark, you can go for OPO closing eyes, imho...

I am sure there will be some custom kernels with DT2W. But I guess OPO will remain with cyanogen. What is the guarantee that OnePlus 2 will be launched in India at the same time as in the west??

I would personally prefer a 5 inch screen over 5.5 for one hand usability. In which case MI 4 seems better off..

It already has double tap to wake!

Amazon killed all affiliate revenue on OnePlus One this month. So well... Goodbye Amazon. You can now freely exchange invites

Amazon got contaminated once they teamed with Micromax...
