Some closeup comparison shots vs the Z5.

(click to enlarge).













Can you tell which is which?

 

[MoBo]

left Z5

 

[MLAM]

Right is Z5 as its such a wider shot in general and set in 16:9 format

 

[Orcvader]

Left = 4160x3120 ~= 13 MP
Right = 5984x3366 ~= 20.1 MP

Should be easier to guess which is which .

Spoiler

If right really is the Z5 then that looks shockingly noisy. Left colours looks more natural as well.

My thoughts exactly.

Do I not get to be a winner too?

I set it to 4:3 but I think it reset back to 16:9.
Well you guessed correctly anyway, so you win too

Did you notice how the OPX takes better macro's than the Z5?
I tried getting closer than 10cm on the Z5 but just kept getting a blurred mess:

Now these are invite free on a Tuesday I might pick one up after sending my original one back. Anyone else had the crappy screen problem I had first week of ordering?

My S4 is dying Dropped unfortunately and god squashed by the car door ...screen top and bottom black ....now
- is the Oneplus X a descent upgr for it? or I will have to spend a lot of time tweaking the rom to get it stable etc...
...or should I go and buy Lg G4 or something else in £200 mark ish

 

[Skeeter]

No tweaking required.

LG G4 FOR £225 new would be better than this - unless you really want the premium build and OLED on the OPX.

weirdly I moved from an S4, bought a g4 when they were on at £300 and then sent it back and got the opx.

Theres no denying that in a lot of ways the G4 was a better phone, much more powerful for gaming etc, but also much bigger and felt much more plasticy.

For day to day stuff i'm not seeing any lag on the OPX, the screen is smaller but still good quality and the camera is good enough for snaps.

I notice this is available invite free today, is it worth buying? Any of you have any regrets now you've had it a while?

Terrible battery life, buggy software, laggy and slow performance, makes this a terrible buy IMO.

OK thanks for the honest review!

Yes to poor battery.

Buggy software, laggy and slow performance - depends on your pov.

 

[CorrectHorseBattery]

Also OnePlus's terrible support. If you have an issue, just raise a PayPal dispute. Much less of a headache.

Weirdly I've not had any of these issues with mine
