The editors didn't like
Non-removable battery
No expandable storage
Limited availability
Charging cable is too short
Bad placement of camera sensor
Mediocre camera
Voice Wakeup feature doesn't work
Touch screen is over sensitive
Customizations could be overwhelming for new Android users
The phone is almost unavailable at the moment due
Unappealing backplate
Muted colors from the camera
Not compatible with CDMA networks
Not available except with invite
A little too huge for comfortable one-hand use
Even after shrinking the screen by enabling on-screen buttons
The camera's blurry
Washed-out performance is surprising for a 13MP device
The 5.5-inch display is too wide to use with one hand
And the Android-based CyanogenMod operating system isn't very stable at the moment. The camera is mediocre
And audio volume during calls is too soft. Its 4G radio won't work on every network
Buttons beneath display not bright enough
Inviteonly availability
Somewhat heavy
Big and bulky
Limited 4G support in UK
Subpar audio performance
Hard to get one! CyanogenMod will likely transition to OnePlus' Android ROM
Some software bugs. Disappointing call quality
Low-light photo taking abilities are a bit disappointing
Performance occasionally suffers during intense multitasking sessions. Camera is only average—shots are decent
But hardly stunning. Extremely limited availability
Even if you score a preorder
Be prepared to wait
Very limited availability
Fairly bulky
Materials used in the Sandstone Black (rear shell) version might fail the test of time
Camera UI has some weaknesses that we hope are addressed

Good screen, excellent value, loads of power on tap, ample battery life
No microSD, 4G doesn't work on all UK networks, pain to buy one, size won't suit all
All in all the OnePlus One is an amazing device for the price. There are a few little issues, but nothing that should stop 99 per cent of people from buying one. It's just a pity actually obtaining one is such a pain - but that almost makes it a mor...

High spec at budget price, excellent screen, very fast processor, fine camera, 4G
Software can be a bit buggy, no expandable memory
With a single bound, the OnePlus One is catapulted into the big leagues, holding its own against the high-end likes of the Samsung Galaxy S5, HTC One (M8) and Sony Xperia Z2 . But it's only a little over half the price of any of those. This is a serious...

Dirt cheap for the specs, Excellent build, Powerful but frugal, Big Full HD screen
4G only on some networks, Weak low-light photography, No microSD expansion, Getting into phablet territory
Open Gallery Hype confirmed. Disruption commencing. To get one of the best smartphones on the planet, you don't need £500 or £40 a month anymore. You just need a OnePlus One invite. OnePlus tells us that as production ramps up, more invites wi...
Superb value, Plenty of power, Large, high-quality screen
Patchy 4G support in UK, Too-quiet call speaker
The OnePlus One is not a perfect phone, but it competes with phones twice the price without serious caveats beyond limited 4G support. And for that reason, it's one of 2014's best phones.Next, see how the OnePlus compares to the best Android phones...

Abstract: LG's G3 launched last week as the world's first Quad HD smartphone, but in all other respects it has little up on the OnePlus One, which costs half the price. So where should you put your money? We weigh up your options by comparing these two Android phon...
Abstract: HTC, Samsung, Sony and LG have each now unveiled their flagship handsets for 2014, plus we've seen some outside competition from startup OnePlus. But which is the best Android phone 2014? We compare the S5, Z2, G3, One M8 and OnePlus One spec for spec. Se...
The OnePlus One has a sleek design that comfortably fits in your pocket, and the phone's powerful specs deliver a smooth, lag-free performance for a relatively low price
The 5.5-inch display is too wide to use with one hand, and the Android-based CyanogenMod operating system isn't very stable at the moment. The camera is mediocre, and audio volume during calls is too soft. Its 4G radio won't work on every network

Excellent value, Very powerful, Great screen
Plastic construction, No microSD card slot
The OnePlus One sounded too good to be true but so far it seems to be living up to its billing. We can’t quite get our heads round how it’s so cheap because, aside from the plastic build, it’s a top flight phone in every sense, with amazing specs, a great...
