I see even onePlus discourage the buying of the Chinese version for use outside of China.

After reading some user reviews of this phone I'm not as convinced about its offering as I once was.
It does seem that heat is an issue and when it's not warm its slugish due to the software management of the chip. Think I'll pass any invite I get on or at least wait for more reviews. |

I suspect many are the same then as thats what im seriously thinking now; Moto Style x or Nexus.
I am just hoping that Nexus leak isnt correct as it doesn't look that appealing. |

I've decided against using my invite. Not sure if I can transfer it now I've activated it on my account?
The lacklustre camera, no NFC, no fast or wireless charging are all reasons - plus SD810. Oh, and many other exciting devices coming at similar prices from Motorola, Honor and hopefully Google (having realised charging silly money doesn't work). I still don't consider wireless charging a big thing as it simply can't deliver the same power that wired charging can, and the number of phones that can actual use it is relatively small, especially when some phones need a new back cover. Snapdragon 810 has been a surprise for me in this phone, they do seem to have got the hardware and software right to fix all the issues previous 810 devices had. But the phones soon to be on offer from the companies you mention are looking more than promising and will likely capitalise on all the OnePlus 2s failings. |

What do you find unappealing about the two upcoming Nexus phones? I don't really see what else they could offer?
Also fingerprint scanner on the back? What's that all about? You want it to unlock as you press the home button, if it has one. |

It is in the best interest of OnePlus to discourage grey imports as it is for any manufacturer.

I do wonder how many people are buying the phone who wouldn't if they weren't effectively pressured into buying?
I mean you feel you must try and get an invite and then once you do, you need to act fast or miss out. I've certainly felt I ought to get one even if I'll sell it on - but then I stopped to think properly. Impressive as it is in many ways, it's really not that special and has no redeeming features. In a matter of months it will be even more 'meh' and hardly a 2016 flagship killer. It is a good price though. |

Well that image of the LG one that was leaked, didn't look good. It just appeared cheap and very plastic. I know my N4 is cheap plastic mainly, but it was at least made to look nice.

I am going to get one (probably and despite the "home button" on the front). If only because no one else will have one. It will be very easy to sell on if I want something else.

I think I'd prefer a fingerprint scanner on the back as that is where my index finger naturally rests, with it on the home button I have to change my grip slightly and it is also a pain on phones which only have on screen buttons. On my Moto X, G4, OnePlus 2 they all have somewhere my index finger naturally rests, and I don't think I'm unique in that experience. |

I can see what people are saying and yes it could work, but if you want to go down the fingerprint idea to unlock, surly a natural way to unlock would be with the thumb on a button?

It can be quite difficult to gauge the build quality and looks from early photos. I wouldn't say it looks any worse than the original nexus 5 did. I'd also prefer a slight less premium build for a much lower price, you can't have it all.

Though if the scanner is on the back it makes it next to impossible to unlock if it's in a cradle. Pretty much precludes the use of the phone hands free in a car if it needs a finger on the back to unlock.
Not that I drive or keepy phone in a cradle but how often do you need to unlock your device in one? Wouldn't it be a case of setting up navigation and leaving it, or swiping to answer a call both of which wouldn't need it unlocking? |

Why? OnePlus only has a single retail channel, it isn't like Samsung (for example) who have regional or national distribution channels.
In addition the invite system creates hype and free advertising for OnePlus, the more that are bought through scalpers the less word of mouth advertising OnePlus receive. OnePlus also cannot reward customers who purchase phones from elsewhere like giving early invites to early purchasers. As well as those reasons, if the third party seller is not clear about the differences between the Chinese version, international version and American version the end user may end up having a bad experience and associating that with OnePlus instead of the third party. |

The Honor 7 in the UK is being officially launched this Thursday. The inevitable Plus model will follow later.

Just had a look online at this phone and looks decent if those pics and specs are correct. For the price I think that is the bargain and the real killer.
Does the Honor line usually run stock Android and get updated though? |
