OnePlus 2 - Announced



There's people on ebay offering to boost you to under 5,000 on the list for £12 ish as they're Oneplus employees. Based in Israel and Slovakia though, sounds legit?

Yeah it's bullshit, they're not employees, and it's a waste of money.

You can boost yourself by making new email addresses and using your own invite code to invite these new email addresses. That's how me and sn00p have jumped some positions.

That was my first thought when I saw the process. I've been with HTC since the Desire HD though and am really used to Sense, not sure if I want to jump ship. If the One M9+ was available through more mainstream means I'd have one.

Was at 1,500,000 odd, 10 mins later...

You are in position

33,988 / 4,026,484

Still waiting on a couple of verifications to come through.

I wrote a script which automated the process....

Useless now as they have introduced a captcha into the system so it can't be done quite as automated.

Oh, do you mean the shitty picture I took this morning of the box? Yeah, I hardly ever use the camera, I didn't focus the room was lit badly and the lens probably is full of crap because I never use or clean it.

But here's one I took late last year.

yeah, totes s**t and blurry.
You're getting grumpy in your old age boy!

I was jesting that these phones aren't about awesome cameras etc and massive sales. They're for more of a niche market.

Hence my comment. The N4 has the best display and camera almost on any smartphone. Sadly it still has a bit of TW attached. Hence my Nexus shout with awesome camera and display.

Winkie next time please. ;)

Nexus device is obviously always going to be a great shout, completely baffled why they're stuck the fingerprint sensor on the back though.

TouchWiz or not, Android is so far ahead of IOS these days.

How much closer are people getting each day? I've not been paying attention as I was still in the million plus club, 3,222 now, and giving up for the night.

I'm not, sat at 8k, that's plenty for me.

I'm in no particular rush, and the invites are one of the last ways they use to allocate invites.
That's been proved to be wrong though. I've got an invite before any of the early adopters or early forum users.

A highish position in the queue and being active on the forum (make sure it's the same email address in the queue and registered with one plus for their account and forum) will get you an invite sooner rather than later.

They use your rank, forum activity, purchase history etc to assign you a position in a real invite queue.

Get posting on their forum!!!!

Did you get an invite then? Bought it then?

Yes, got an invite and bought the phone, 2 days later it arrived.

Very impressed, new software niggles but feels even better than the OPO.

BTW, saw you posting over on the forum!

Got my OPO last October/November I think. Haven't taken any pics of it apart from the box!

Manually installed the Ota update earlier, I've found a few niggles/thing's that could do with tweaking with oxygen os, but I'm impressed with stability.

There's one on ebay but it has a 2 pin lead and it's mostly in chinese on the box. Is that the same for all of them? (the writing)

Remember reading that if you get the Chinese version you can't use the duel sim function in the UK, the rest works as should tho.

Something to do with imei number
So the one reason I want one lol.
Some fella is selling an invite on ebay so may just buy that lol.

Can't stand waiting for things.

Just had this email from the ebay fella selling the phone.
Hey There,

None of the OnePlus Two are coming with UK plug, as they are all made in China.

This model came directly from OnePlus HQ in China on the day it was released (first 5000 units batch).

You can see manufactured date (2015.07.31) - release day.

The USB cable (charging one) you can plug to any usb socket and charge your phone.

Seb

Do both of yours have uk plugs?

Not to worry, just seen this as stated already :(

This Chinese version does not support O2's and Vodafone's 4G network, it will connect to all networks' 3G but will not connect to O2 or Vodafone 4G/LTE. So if you plan to use this on O2 or Vodafone 4G/LTE please do not buy. This phone will work on EE, and Three's 4G network. This is due to slight connectivity difference between Chinese market and UK, hence Chinese version does not need to support the frequency O2's and Vodafone 4G are operating on.

Just change to EE, much better lte coverage anyway

Funnily enough we're off to reading on Thursday, so going to stick the sim back in my OPO for the festival.

OPO relegated to festival phone! Lol

It's irrelevant, google pay would never be supported on the phone anyway, I'm sure it'll only be available on select "secure" devices, much like the fact that many of the banking apps will only work on selected devices, and only then if they haven't been tampered with.

I've actually never seen anybody using apple pay, seen plenty of people using their nfc bank cards though.

In a couple of years time it might be a legit complaint, but for this generation it isn't.
