Oneplus One alternatives?

gsf600y · 19 Apr 2016 at 19:46

Hi,
Looking for something that's at least equivalent to the Oneplus One in terms of the following:
CPU/GFX performance
Battery life
Camera quality

Looking at the £180 to £200 range.
5" or 5.5" size is fine. 16gb is ok.
Would like NFC in it, as I want ability to pay by mobile.

I already have a OPO, and think it's spot on. This one will be for the other half. I'd order the Oneplus One itself for £179.99 if they weren't out of stock

I've looked at Wileyfox storm, but appears to have worse battery life.
Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro a little over budget from what I can see.
Xiaomi Mi 5 over budget
Oneplus 2 looks good, but again over budget.
Oneplus X - I think might be about a match on specs, but no NFC, and smaller battery capacity....

Not sure what to get!! Any advice welcome.

I just ordered a redmi note 3 pro http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Orig...xa-Core-5-5-3GB-RAM-32GB-ROM/32597684693.html In your budget but it does not have NFC.

Have a look here for the specs you need, makes it easy to pick and choose what you want and gives you the best price. http://www.kimovil.com/en/

Oh, the Redmi Note 3 Pro is cheaper than I thought.
How do you think the Snapdragon 650 vs the 801 would compare, in things like browsing, facebook, Sat Nav, etc?
The battery on it does look absolutely stonking.....but then you look here, and it scores less thanthe "Redmi 3" ?

It hits 70+k in antutu so faster than the OPO.

Have a read of this mate. http://www.miui.co.in/mi/5-points-r...-variant-is-better-than-its-mediatek-variant/

Also the redmi 3 is only 5" so that will help with the battery life on it.

Interesting. I wonder if the "snapdragon variant" has better battery life....or worse....
But, yes, it does look decent specs.....hmmm....what to do....
Shipping time is quite long....other half is desperate for new phone to replace her completely broken one. Spare Huawei G300 is driving her insane

I ordered mine on the 14th and it has been shipped, they have told me it will be delivered in 6-9 days via DHL. This guy puts the latest genuine international rom from Xiaomi so hopefully no crappy bloat etc. He also says it will get the latest ota's The battery is supposed to be brilliant.

Have a look at this review. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=plxznHKlNuI

One Plus X?

If I didn't have my OPO I would buy one. Waiting for the One Plus 3 personally.
