Terrible experience on a phone that held its value like a cut banana.
I loved the phone at first, but as time went on the phone became more laggy and more prone to crashing (apps, or the entire phone). RAM usage was above 2.5GB just idling with no apps running, which I suspect is from Samsung's signature bloated firmware. Battery life was good, I loved the S-Pen, but the camera never worked right (even after two warranty replacements)! Not to mention I ended up paying $20 each warranty replacement through T-Mo, instead of doing it through Samsung, because with Samsung, I'd have had to send my phone in and be without one for up to a month while they worked on it. In general, I had a poor experience with this dumb thing and ended up selling it for less than half what I paid for it - less than a year later, and before the announcement of its successor.

Great Value, Cheap Modern Phone for the Non-Picky
I purchased this phone after my iPhone 3Gs bit the dust. Understanding that the phone was two years old, and outdated (only running Android 2.1), I took it with a grain of salt. I have not been disappointed with anything other than the battery life. The processor is slower than I'd like but it gets the job done with ease and breezes through almost anything. I really like the optional car dock, which I purchased. I use it in my vehicle and as a holder on the table by my bed. I like to use the phone as an alarm clock, and the suction cup holder stands nicely on a CD case or a smooth table, making the phone a perfect alarm clock with the proper free app from the Android Market. The GPS is very nicely integrated into the rest of the phone and works like a charm. My only complaint about the GPS is that the "off-road" route preference option does not actually guide you to fun places to drive off-road - it simply directs you as-the-crow-flies to your destination. Bummer. The camera leaves a lot to be desired. It's difficult to take a picture that is in focus, even when giving the phone ample time and aim to focus on the subject. The video quality is barely worth having at all. Lack of an audio out jack means you have to buy the Garminfone 3.5mm adapter - which produces muddy-sounding audio on earbuds or headphones that sound pristine on a normal jack with a different device. Support for my 32GB micro SD card is a HUGE plus.

Truly a Flagship Killer.
I bought the OnePlus One after becoming fed up with my Samsung Galaxy Note 4. I was in search of a specific set of qualities, most of which the 1+1 fulfills nicely. At a price less than half of the phone it replaced, it was hard to go wrong in buying the 1+1, even toward the end of its product life cycle. The first thing I noticed was the feeling of the back cover. Almost like a rough short fur, it was interesting to say the least, but soon wore down to a less intrusive, lightly rough finish that's pleasing to hold. The IPS display is fantastic, though mine arrived with two dead pixels and a yellow tinge at the bottom of the screen. OnePlus support was not very helpful in the matter, but I've gotten used to those things, so I'll still give the screen a pass. The 1080p resolution, while nothing like QHD, is more than enough and I cannot see individual pixels in graphics or text on the screen. Battery life usually achieves around five hours screen on time. Acceptable, but only because I have a portable battery pack. A removal back cover and battery would be greatly appreciated, so I could use two batteries and swap on the go like I could with my Note 4. RAM and processor are more than enough, outperforming the Note 4 since the 1+1's software is far from bloated or overloaded. The camera is adequate. In good lighting, photos are crisp and easy to take. Low light easily sends the camera into a blurry, grainy, slow to respond struggle, however. All in all I like this phone better than my old one. I daresay I regret dropping the $800 on my Note 4 in the past.
