Well it's flagship in spec and performance, but look wise really pathetic. I mean really really pathetic. Purchasing this is like putting a V10 in an Ambassador and calling it a supercar(technically correct).
1. Although Bluetooth is very helpful but I have lived without it for the past 2 years so its not much of a bigger deal.
Peek view looks nice , seems very handy...will be clear more once people start using it.
Touch is not of good quality, its bulky, no PC software for making backups of the device. No shipped headsets, don't know how good the company's headsets are but using apple's on it. Miss ease of use of iOS
I think you missed the point of buying an OPO, flagship level performance at mid range prices. And much focus on developer support for enthusiasts.
If you didn't want to learn something new and technical, you shouldn't have bought OPO. There were phones from Samsung, Sony, HTC etc which might have had those bloatwares you required.
CWM and TWRP are recoveries similar to BIOS in PCs. Every phone has some sort of recovery to get things done.
Titanium Backup and Super Backup are android apps. Though the former is very capable of performing every backup/restore tasks, its generally not recommended for backing up/restoring sms or contacts. You don't need to install any shiny looking half baked bloatware on the PC except for the phone's drivers in order to copy those backups to and from the PC.
You didn't have to research about any headphones. You could've just posted a thread here.
CWM/TWRP work absolutely fine for taking complete backup. You don't know that?
Oneplus wanted it to be budget friendly and not consumer friendly. If they wanted to be consumer friendly, there would be no invite system, they'd have to setup physical shops everywhere and give meaningless advertisements which would defeat the ultimate purpose of keeping the price much less than other flagships at that time.
You're hand will hurt once you come to know how many use such PC suites in 2015...as long as people use desktops they may keep using such softwaresPeople use pc suite in 2015?
Like I said earlier, there is no need of a PC suite. Backup using CWM or TWRP and copy it to PC from the phone using any suitable method.
Will that backup copy be specific to that device or I could restore to a different smartphone? Like if I purchased a new one
Specific to the model of the phone. As for backing up apps or other things, follow the steps in previous posts.
A simple backup of iPhone 5S can be smoothly restored to an iPhone 6S
Stop arguing ffs. It's clear that Android is not for him. Android can only be appreciated by people who want customization, know the ins and outs of different softwares and know that Apple stock headphones AND Beats are crap. This gentleman here is looking for a trouble free noob experience which requires no in depth knowledge such as flashing ROMs, recovery, rooting and bricking. He also wants a no research music experience, ie, he will forever listen to crap stock headphones and believe that all headphones are same and Beats are best.
+1 to Iphone 6s.

Yes, life is much easier in Apple ecosystem than Android. Life in Apple Ecosystem is like a comfortable jail cell. You have the everything that Apple wants you to have. Android is a sandbox.

Never mind.
Beats Music and Apple zindabad
Google takes backup of app data I think, there's an option to sync app data to cloud.
Nothing, shouldn't concern yourself with flac if you're using apple earphones.
₹150 for what? They never charged me. Showoff factor is very much there but really I'm not into that. I'll buy my cables if my current one is damaged although it seems to be working fine since 2 years ..LOL
How is apple worst ecosystem?
I'm done with specs man....last year I waited for nexus they released a phone which couldn't fit into my pockets ..
I dont agree with you fully
While I feel Windows tabs and iPads offer a very well made tablet experience which android can never even dream of, I also must admit that Apple s*cks in terms of cable quality
I paid 500 bucks for a prolink cable from the Maple reseller showroom because they recommend it as they no longer get Apple cables for iPads anymore,only for iPhone and have a tie up with Prolink for it
barely lasted me a week and Maple simply blamed it on me saying it was my fault for charging it at night
Another time,I bought a capdase cable which refused to work because apparently Apple only wants you to buy their cables which are of pathetic quality and barely last 8 months
The same cable worked fine on my other iPad running ios 6 because apparently this "feature" came with the ios 7 update
As for android, I agree with you
Android feels very unfinished and poorly made at times even with some of its obvious advantages
the experience can be either excellent or pathetic

You are comparing a 50k device with a 20k one.....
Though I do agree with you to an extent
But you must keep in mind, ios has major headaches as well, try syncing your PC photos,music etc via itunes then youll see the pathetic restrictions that Apple has put in place
You apparently can no longer delete iTunes synced media on your idevices
Another one is bluetooth, its a basic need and not every one can use Airdrop because not everyone has an iPhone
Android too has its own niggles though,no denying that
CWM/TWRP work absolutely fine for taking complete backup. You don't know that?
People use pc suite in 2015?
Rose Gold in the futureLOL its gold now
everyones buying gold colour Apple devices now
These days its rare to find people who use a platform because they actually like it, most simply havent tried other platforms and simply hate or love platforms
I used to be that guy till 2012, then I ventured into other platforms from Symbian,BB etc
i love variety but prefer stability too
That's not even gold, its damn pink.Rose Gold in the future
We all know that & I'm never buying that or the gold variant.That's not even gold, its damn pink.
Now you see the reason why majority of Indians buy iPhones. To show off only. In fact when I bought LG G2 one shopkeeper told me to go for Samsung Galaxy S(not sure which S was running at that time, S3 perhaps), he said 'Since you are spending so much why don't you get Samsung? Samsung is more popular than LG. No one notices LG as much as Samsung' (translated from bengali). I promptly exited the store. Anyway after that my friends gave me the same reaction.
Now? What makes you think I don't know this already. Atleast, I don't buy for that reason which I mentioned twice already in this thread.
Not a big con considering the rest of the features.
Actually it's hard carrying iPhone everywhere here in small town coz I get unwanted attention, and when I go online then there are rants like 'Oh! Look, there's an iSheep'
Battery stats depend on usage, the battery is no way excellent, but it will last one day easily. MKBHD reviews look snappy but its pretty much a verbal narrative without much details and testing.
)
You seem to forget OnePlus OneS6 easily lasts over a day under moderate usage, might not last a day under heavy usage
Under heavy usage my Z3C just lasts a day with 5hr+ S.O.T ...... There are very few phones which can compete with Z3C in terms of battery life (don't bring feature phones here
You seem to forget OnePlus One
Yeah, GSMArena, PhoneArena and AndroidAuthority are best for reviews. XDA is best for everything else and a real life experience of the phone. MKBHD is more like a video commercial with lots of bling but very little substance.
