Our OnePlus One has just received a software update which should address some of the issues experienced in the review. we're currently going through the new software and will update this review with our findings soon.


Build and Design


OnePlus One has come with 5.5 inch display which is surrounded sides and metallic corner. there a slight dip on the top and the bottom on the display which shows the end of the glass front and beginning of the metallic edges. the display has a corning gorilla glass 3 protection.

the rear cover sandstone black in  our case covers the majority of the rear side as well as the sides f the phone. in fact the front glass is separated from the rear cover only with the silver metallic lining.the sandstone cover has a lovely texture which feels somewhat like a softer version of a regular sandpaper. it gives a great grip on the phone.

on the top of the phone you have the headphone jack whereas on the bottom you have the dual grilles for speakers with the microUSB charging port in the center. the plastic build sporting volume rocker button is on the left hand side and the power/ standby button is one the right hand side.


Specifications And Software

Most of the OnePlus one's appeal lies its hardware, and it isn't hard to see why. you'll have a  time finding anything that delivers the same amount of power at this price level. it all begins with a top-tier Qualcomm snapdragon 801 soc, which has four CPU cores running at 2.5 GHz and Adreno 330 GPU. that's matched with 3 gb ram and 64 gb of in-built storage space. 16 GB of version is available but now launch in india Rs 21999.

there's Wi-Fi b/g/n/ac and Bluetooth 4.0 along with nfc and GPS. there are also three microphones for noise reduction. sadly, there's no microSD slot. the 3,100 mAH battery is also sealed in.


Camera


Good to know that OnePlus One is using a Sony sensor, and the photography industry has recognised Sony as the leader in sensor technology, manufacturing to the big players, such as Nikon, Pentax and even Olympus. 13MP is not class leading in mobile phone category  but seriously, any photographers would tell you that it is not the number of pixels that count, but the quality of each pixel that determines how good the image quality is. 13MP is more than sufficient for mobile phone usage.

it has  F2 lens, 27mm and 6 elements lens construction
That tiny lens is actually F2, which is considered very fast for a mobile phone (fastest currently is F1.8, which is quite rare, and not too different from F2 anyway). The lens is of course fixed at 27mm, and not Zoomable CAMERA. but that is the price to pay to keep the lens as small as possible.
