what's going on guys the marks and sang from technobuffalo in it's been about six months since we review this guy the one plus one and I wanted to share with you guys my impression of the device after using it for several months so let's go ahead and get started two things I love about the 1+1 are the specs and the price you still won't find a phone as affordable as good-looking and as equip as this one it may not have the latest processor or tech inside but it's held up very well and she continued to hold up in the coming months performance wise this device is top-notch it barely lags and it definitely is a device that can compete with flagships like the HTC One m8 the Samsung Galaxy s5 but how does it stack up to newer smartphones like the Nexus 6 the note 4 or even the droid turbo now surprisingly it holds up really well it's still very responsive and I can run the latest apps and games without a hitch which is great and to be quite honest I don't see too much of a difference in terms of performance between the Snapdragon 801 processor and the Snapdragon 805 processor is found in two current devices everything is still buttery smooth now in terms of durability the oneplus one still looks relatively new we have experienced somewhere around the back of the sandstone surface and the chrome room on the front is starting to show little where with bits and pieces of the finish coming off though that's expected from day to day use I personally don't use a case on my one plus one though durability and how your phone holds up will always vary on how you use your device the screen is a 5.5 inch 1080p LCD display and after seeing hugh HD displays from samsung LG and motorola it pulls the oneplus one's display out the water I'm not bad-mouthing the oneplus one screen whatsoever it's still a very good-looking screen but just know that they're a brighter higher resolution displays available on newer devices now moving on to battery life I was very impressed with what this little guy can do now on my device I have pushed under patient is enabled I make several calls a day send messages not once have I need to charge my phone midday lots of busy work day without an issue and to me that's a true test of battery life however there are some newer smartphones with bigger batteries and newer tech that can easily beat the oneplus one's battery and newer devices like the samsung galaxy note for the motorola droid turbo or the sony xperia z3 have fast charging capabilities which will get you up to six hours of battery life in about 15 to 25 minutes is the one plus ones battery so as impressive as we thought it was yes and no for a device has been out for months it's still pretty impressive to get battery life they can get through a busy workday and fast charging whoa most users won't even need that option considering it should last a full day anyway on the software side of things the oneplus one run cyanogenmod 11 s in in my opinion it's still a terrific OS cyanogenmod lets users customize pretty much everything from the lock screen to the boot screen you have added features like gestures and options to enable software keys or hardware keys and you get the beautiful stock Android look features that sets it apart from Samsung HTC or LG software updates have been pushed out several times since our review and urban major improvements throughout the OS like stability and performance improvements where's with other devices we may be waiting on updates from manufacturers and carriers and that doesn't really happen with 1 plus once 1 plus approves is a software update it gets pushed out to all the oneplus one users similar to what Google does with its Nexus devices like a Moto X Nexus or even an iPhone the hardware and software works together seamlessly six months later the OS doesn't feel slow or tired so before I wrap up this video as I mentioned in our review there's still that silly invite system that one plus wants you to go through and several months later it's still here at one point 1 plus did offer pre-orders for the one but it was just limited and was only available for a certain amount of time servers crash people were upset and some people weren't able to pre-order their device will it get better from here on out well we hope so but it doesn't appear the device will be easier to get maybe we'll just have to wait for the next iteration of this device so six months later the oneplus one while not showing off the best specs anymore still stands up against it are pricier flagship devices if you're looking to jump into cyanogen the device is probably your best bet factor in the price which starts are just two hundred ninety nine dollars for the 16 gigabyte model and the one plus one is still a solid device six months later anyways that's it for this video guys make sure to check us out at technobuffalo calm for the latest and greatest tech news and as always a markless hanging from
