Not sure why anyone would get a oneplus. If the phone has a problem you're fucked.

Yeah, why would anyone get a premium phone for one fourth of the price of other 'premium' phones.

Instead you'll have a greater chance then any other phone to get a yellow screen, touchscreen issues, and a whole list of other issues. You'll then be fucked because your replacement/warranty options suck.

The cost is cheap due to little to no support options, among other things. It's a cheaply built and poorly supported product.
Even within Android phones specs shouldn't mean everything. Having a fast phone means nothing when you receive one that's fucked up due to the poor QC and then have fun waiting at least a month for a replacement. |

Can you back that up or are you just making stuff up because it doesn't have an apple logo on it?
Because this is what you're doing otherwise;

Both my iPhone and m8 are easily replaced by either company under warranty.
Good luck with your oneplus.

Mchart is right about the yellow band and multitouch problems, although I'm not sure how widespread they are, and they don't seem to be present in later batches. Obviously people who are having problems are going to flood the forums with complaints (as they should) while the rest are enjoying their phones.
Still, the issues are definitely not made up and you have to decide for yourself if the risk is worth it. I ended up getting a OnePlus instead of a Nexus 5 and it's flawless so far, but if anything goes wrong later on, RMAing it is going to be a bit tricky. But 330$ with free shipping for the 64Gb version was just too hard to resist.

@Mchart
But there is warranty, you're making it sound as if there is none.
But yeah, if the ghosting persists than it's definitely flawed and should be fixed.
It's still however a phone that costs around 1/3 of what most premium phones cost.

Yes, there is a warranty.
But warranties differ.
Look at the PC market for instance. EVGA has a far better warranty then let us say MSI. If you have a MSI card that breaks - Good fucking luck. No advance RMA, standard 1 year warranty where you have to send your part back first. It fucking sucks.
With smartphone's it's the same. Different companies offer better warranties. Apple obviously has the strength here assuming you have Apple stores nearby. You take the phone in, and the same visit leave with a full replacement. It couldn't be simpler. HTC also has a strong warranty, as they have advanced RMA and the 6-month free replacement regardless of what you do to the phone.
The one plus however; Shit blows if you need a replacement, and the RMA service is so horrible that most people just opt to deal with whatever problems they get with the phone.
So sure, you're saving money up front. But if you ever have any issues that savings quickly becomes irrelevant because now you're without your phone for over a month waiting for a replacement.

With apple it depends on what plan you have and even at times when you've got their top notch one you're still screwed.
Also, a 1 year warranty for smartphones is usually more than sufficient.
My sister has an iPhone 5s and she's dropped it a bunch of times, not once did apple offer her to change the glass for free (instead it was around 1000SEK so 1/6th of the cost of the phone).
People with their bent phones and best warranty plans, didn't get new phones.
Again, if this thing had an apple logo on it you'd eat it up like shitcakes and ask for more but since it's not I guess it's just another shit phone for you.

No, if it had an Apple logo on it I'd say it was just as stupid as the 6 or 6 derp because it's too big.
If you break the screen on your Oneplus you aren't getting a free replacement either. So I'm not really sure what your argument is here. The only company currently offering a free replacement regardless of the damage type under the first 6 months of warranty is HTC.
Of course, I'm not talking about USER INFLICTED DAMAGE. I'm talking about flaws present from the factory, such as a yellowing screen, stuck buttons, etc.
You really are clueless.

Let me put it like this then.
How many people do you know are getting help from apple because they updated their phone to the latest OS and it basically broke the phone for them?
How helpful are apple then?
Let me guess, it's USER INFLICTED DAMAGE (but caused by an official update from the company).

Then your very lucky I guess.
On the 4 the menu button for some reason gets stuck and was causing issues, no replacement, had to buy the 4s (this was within the time of warranty).
My GF's 4s is acting up where the mute on/off button keeps going on and off while just lying still, no replacement (while still under warranty).
My point is that you're acting as if the warranty is more important than the phone and that apple are the best ever with super quality phones and support. When in fact it's quality in both support and product are on par with other (note, not oneplus here) manufacturers.

+1 Mchart , never had any issue with Apple to replace me the whole iphone for a buggy power button, home button, hell i even told them this sometimes soi could get a new iphone and they would still replace it.
These days I think they aren't replacing it so easily, they are trying to fix it first in the Apple store.
But not fixing it while still under warranty ? Not sure if serious Prefetian...
Wanna know how good is Apple customer service ?
I had bought a Thunderbolt to DVI adapter, but ended up noticing that the DVI2VGA adapter I had from some PC GPU didn't fit with it. So I asked them, 4 months later (so no warranty, cuz there is only a 15 days warranty on accessories) if it was possible to change it.
They told me the warranty had expired, but they would send me a Thunderbolt to VGA adapter for free and could keep my DVI one. Sure it's only 30€, but it's still proof of an awesome customer service...
Plus, the "Geniuses" are always really nice and well educated, you can see they are forcing themselves sure, but at least it's a nice way to handle customers.

So you argued all this time to admit what I was saying about the oneplus?
The fuck.
And for the record I said HTC and Apple have better support. You're a broken record in assuming everything is about Apple.

Ok, let's recap.
Does the phone cost 1/3 of other manufacturers? Yes!
Does it have a warranty? Yes!
What's the problem? Don't answer, it's a rhetorical question.

This. I don't want to write a whole story about it, but this phone is excellent. Galaxy S5 and One M8 can suck on it.

A colleague has now his 4th iPhone5. It's nice from apple to replace it that often without any hassle though, but 4 devices in 2 years is a bit much :/
(power button broke, he got a new one. camera suddenly took shitty pictures due to hardware failure, he got a new one and while he was restoring his backup in the genius bar they immediately saw that the display had errors and gave him a 4th one)
