64GB: http://cameraparadise.com/Buy-OnePlus-One-64GB-4G-LTE-Mobile…

Been looking at this phone for awhile and saw the previous deals on OzBargain from DWI.

Out of curiosity i wanted to see if i can find something better and stumbled upon this.

CyanogenMod 11S already pre-installed unlike other Oneplus ones' from China.

Has anyone had an experience with Camera Paradise before? Was wondering what your thoughts were.

Seems legit according to whirlpool community:

    Ordered my OPO 64 GB Sandstone on the 19th last month and received on the 23rd which was the fastest I've had something arrive at my door. So far so good, no problems at all. Came packed decently.

    3G/4G working perfectly on my Optus/LiveConnected SIM. CM11S came pre-installed as stated above (received about 3 OTA's since I've owned the phone. Everything working fine. My experience was fine, no problems at all. Confirmed legit.

        Officially, it only comes with USB cable, USB charger with Hong Kong plug, SIM pin. We will put a power adapter suitable for Australia use.

        • 2024 on 29/08/2014 - 01:21

          I like mine from t-dimension, it came with the 1+1 charger (which has it's own cool little box like the phones) AND a travel adaptor to switch it to local.

      Is it the official international version (has cyanogenmod written on the back) or a Chinese version that they've flashed?

      • smellfishy on 28/08/2014 - 07:25

        Was the logo more important?

        Chinese version hence the price and flashing. No difference otherwise.

          Asking so other people can see the answer, don't personally care as I've already got one.

          There is hardware differences such as different LTE bands, support process between the two models.

        • 2024 on 28/08/2014 - 18:37

          @zfa:

          The difference in bands is only repevant is the owner plans on traveling to the US.

        It's the Chinese version. The international version supports 1700 Mhz and the version from Camera Paradise does not:

        3G: WCDMA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100

        It's also cheaper from T-Dimension https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/158697

    • CyberMurning on 28/08/2014 - 07:31

      Which one is OPO 64 GB Sandstone and how much? Edit just realised opo means oneplusone I thought it's different brand i.e. OPPO

      Is this good replacement for galaxy note 2?

    • Djent on 31/08/2014 - 13:25

      EDIT:

      For further confirmation, I received a HK plug adaptor, the OPO charger, the USB cable and the SIM pin. It is also the Chinese version with CM 11S flashed (has Chinese characters on the back instead of the CM logo).

      Just be sure you put your SIM card with the contacts facing down (IIRC) as I thought my OPO was broken due to myself installing the SIM the other way around!

      • rakkihizoku on 31/08/2014 - 18:00

        Did you purchases from Camera Paradise as well? I'm assuming it'd be the same across all Chinese versions anyways. Chinese writing at the back thats a bummer ):

  • dead5pur on 28/08/2014 - 07:30

    Great phone, highly recommend. I thought it would be too big, but it's so light and thin that you forget about it. Runs very smoothly. Mine came with a US wall charger (I bought with an invite), but also a Micro USB cord (It's a nice red one also),plus like most people, I have about 60 lying around at home. Love the feel of the sandstone backing on the 64GB. I'm also on Optus and have had absolutely no issues at all.

    Easy to root also if you are wanting Xposed Mods.

    • 2024 on 28/08/2014 - 18:39

      The Chinese ones also come with the charger and flat USB cord.
      The accessories are identical, Chinese just missing headphones. The packaging is pretty cool too, as far as phone boxes go. :)

    Good first deal op! Wish all phones came with expandable storage, 16gb just doesn't cut it anymore but 64gb seems like the right size.

  • andyman1908 on 28/08/2014 - 08:19

    I'm currently in the market for a new phone. Its down to this and lg g3. I'm not into rooting or customising at all. Will 1+1 still suit? Just mainly after big screen, fast and responsive and future proof for 2 or so years.

    • ShamelessBargains on 28/08/2014 - 08:21
      +1

      Price wise the 1+1 is the way to go but the LG G3 is a pretty good all rounder phone. Both phones will suit you fine although I would be leaning towards to the G3 for future updates and warranty claims.

      • andyman1908 on 28/08/2014 - 08:31
        +1

        Both phones would be grey imports (I'd rather 3gb ram on g3). Is 1+1 still worth it if I Dont have the need to customise anything? Happy to spend $130 more for lg g3 if warranted (I do want a good camera)

        • scud70 on 28/08/2014 - 09:16
          +2

          from the spec's one the site one plus (oppo) also has 3gb ram, but i would personally go with g3 (wife has a g2 and its a great phone). Grey imports are fine just pick a seller that is half decent when you need help :)

        • 2024 on 28/08/2014 - 18:40

          As mentioned, the 1+1 is 3gb too, and updates from cyanogen are some of the fastest out of any of the aftermarket.

          FM radio is the only thing I am actually disappointed that is missing, means I still have to take a pocket fm radio to the footy.

      • Ronnnie on 28/08/2014 - 13:12

        Wouldn't the 1+1 be better for future updates, LG don't have a very good rep in regards to updates. And the biggest thing about the 1+1 it uses cm (which is better than lg skin of android) and is guaranteed to be supported for the next 2 years, which is even better than what google offers on their nexus devices. Warranty claims will be much of a muchness if they are grey importing the G3.

    • Kuro on 28/08/2014 - 08:30
      +1

      In the same boat. Leaning towards LG G3 for its radio. I don't have enough data to be using radio apps. Prices should tank when iPhone 6 is released.

    • MadMaxBargainRoad on 28/08/2014 - 09:19

      One big down side of the G3 or S5 for this matter is that they seem very sluggish comparing to opo. Opo is so far the fastest phone ever. It is like an iPhone 5S with a real OS (as opposed to a portal for being ripped off).

      • Ronnnie on 28/08/2014 - 13:15

        What about the s805 version? Or doesn't that support local frequencies? I'd look at that. I think its kind of silly (unless you really desperately need one now) to buy a new phone at this point, with the nexus 6 and iphone 6 around the corner.

      • Jooniar on 28/08/2014 - 14:06
        +1

        Just got my G3 after pondering over that or a OPO. It's not sluggish at all and a gorgeous phone, I was concerned that it would look terrible but build is great and the screen is gorgeous.

        • MadMaxBargainRoad on 29/08/2014 - 10:53

          Go get a Oneplus One, compare both and you will notice the huge difference in speed. Seriously, it's not even close.

      • [Deactivated] on 28/08/2014 - 15:23

        opo is also a company that… more or less didn't exist last year. Who knows if they'll still be around in the coming years…

        • Ronnnie on 28/08/2014 - 18:48

          Owned by Oppo Electronics, I doubt they are going anywhere. Especially when they can't keep up with demand.

        +1

        Camera is definitely important to me. Does this make it worth the extra $130?? I'm so torn! Is the opo at least as good as the sg4 camera? Is the bugs experienced with cm early on now been ironed out?

        • daver on 30/08/2014 - 11:08

          The two it lacks are Optical stabilisation and laser focus.
          Is that 130 better? Although nice to have, possibly not.

    • linkii on 28/08/2014 - 14:04

      1+1 would be better with future updates, since it runs cyanogenmod and should be updated to the latest android versions pretty quickly, whereas LG has a really bad rep of updating their phones. Since both are grey imports, warranty should be no different since you'll be contacting the retailer for the warranty anyways.

      I'll be getting the 1+1 for faster updates and a smoother os with no bloat, and LG G3 if you want a slimmer and smaller sized phone.

    • RedHab on 28/08/2014 - 21:13

      A big advantage of CM11 on the 1+1 is that you can control individual app preferences, eg deny Facebook access to your Address book or Camera etc…

          @rakkihizoku: Yeah was a bit of a wait but I think they are starting to roll out the invites a bit faster now, From what I have read it's better to wait for the international version as the Chinese one uses different hardware for the 4G which might cause some drama if you plan to travel overseas.

      • ordinaryboy on 28/08/2014 - 14:14

        I think it's more supply vs. demand… ie. they can only produce as many handsets as they send out invites for.

        • rakkihizoku on 30/08/2014 - 02:30

          I believe its also a good marketing stunt as well. Has everyone looking for invites and talking about it. People that have spare invites could pass it on to people they know that are looking for a phone.

          However, I've had the opportunity to muck around with all 4 built in cameras that I mentioned and if the 1+1 camera was to be rated AWESOME on TurkishDelight's scale, then the others would have to be rated up around SUPER AWESOME.

      Battery tech hasn't improved all that much. It's not keeping pace with advancement in processor speed. Battery life has typically been extended by producing more efficient chips and optimizing software, also designing the case to allow more room for a bigger battery.

          Same but coming from Hong Kong Im losing hope haha

        • lordz89 on 03/09/2014 - 08:17

          @lordz89:

          Still pending to ship 3 working days after placing the order.

          @lordz89: Huzzah! Mine's 'in transit' now from Hong Kong. Off chance it might arrive tomorrow but I'm expecting Monday will be more likely.

        Thursday night 28.8> and one hour ago sent onto forwarder based Portland, Oregon. I'm more nervous around yellow screen band blemish than any late arriving. Would mean another $60 sending back, and myself not buying that brand again[while this depends on how irksome].

          is delivery cheaper for you that way?

        • rakkihizoku on 03/09/2014 - 15:24

          Apparently you can just pop it in the sun for awhile or expose it to UV light and it should go away.

      • rakkihizoku on 03/09/2014 - 15:22

        Mine still says processing. Looks like you're one step ahead of me and i ordered Friday as well

    • rakkihizoku on 03/09/2014 - 17:36

      Update: Mine changed to pending to ship from processing

      • ordinaryboy on 04/09/2014 - 09:24

        I'm up to shipped and 'in transit' from Hong Kong and I bought late Thursday night, so I'd expect yours will ship v. soon.

        • vvti85 on 05/09/2014 - 12:36

          took delivery today!

        • rakkihizoku on 05/09/2014 - 12:48

          @vvti85: Nice! What day did you purchase it?

        • vvti85 on 05/09/2014 - 14:34

          @rakkihizoku:

          Last Thursday.

          It was only 'in transit' yesterday morning at 1040 from HK so I'm surprised I received today.

        • rakkihizoku on 05/09/2014 - 15:35

          @vvti85: Good to know it doesn't take long to arrive then once its shipped. Thanks for the input :)

    Commissioned the architects to do CM11 on mine… long journey ahead now by routing by Portland Ore. However they've the relationship with development.

    Should imagine by 1+2 oneplus may have Sydney in their target.

    Just found this on their ebay store:

    http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/OnePlus-One-4G-LTE-QUAD-CORE-3GB-…

    Selling it for $420 + free shipping ($44.5 difference)

    Messaged them about this. Will update when i can

    Even if they don't honor my request it would be cheaper to cancel the whole transaction and buy from their Ebay store and save $10. As they only refund unit price.
