Someone tell me why I shouldn't buy this over another <=5" phone? Seems too good to be true for $250.

Best phone on the market as for now, as long as you get invited. I just received mine after 2 weeks shipping, No regrets so far.

What do you use NFC for? Android Pay isn't supported on CM so what else would you need NFC for

Ugh, I signed up first day and still don't have one. I need a goddamn new phone too, lost mine and stuck on a old 3gs.

>>51266760
The invite system is one of the ways they can make the price so low. Keeping supply below demand means they don't get stuck with unsold inventory, which can get quite expensive.

Thank you for this.

shittier for price Xiaomi mi4c got snap 808 hexcore

Do you really need more storage?
Do you save your whole anime and porn collection on your phone?
16gb is a bit short but other phones in that price region have 32gb which is more than enough for anybody normal.
>near stock android
OxygenOS a shit

>not mentioing that even a OnePlusOne destroys this phone in benchmarks and real world applications.
>not mentioing that totaly retarded glass backplate which breaks faster than the speed of light like the one in the Iphone4(which is why even apple doesnt use this shit anymore)
>not mentioing the good LTE support which is really really rare for chink phones.

Appart from the good LTE support this phones is worse than its counterpart in the same priceregion (+/- 30€).
The Xiaomi mi4c destroys the OPX if you pit the specs against each other.

they only thing this phones got is that it looks like an "updated" Iphone4.

Befor you say shill, I actually just got my OPX invite and thinking about buying it, but the more I look into reviews and specs the more I dislike it and the Xiaomi mi4c gets more attractive, the only thing which blocks me from buying the Xiaomi is the horrible LTE support for EU(germany).
>>
>>51266630
Lol.

>>51266442
I use NFC for a few things like coming home and switching to WiFi/turning off Bluetooth etc, a 'sleep' profile and for using GPS in my car. I stuck a tag on my cradle and it turns on GPS, enables autorotate, cranks up the brightness and volume and launches gmaps.

Pretty neat feature, but not many people take advantage of it. Most of the time it saves maybe a minute or two, buts convenient and fun nonetheless. Also impresses the hell out of anyone that gets in my car. Some of the dimmer ones never even heard of NFC, goes to show how much its used.

The snapdragon 801 even though it's an old'ish cpu it's still great and will run smoothly without any issues.

I ordered mine.

>>51267316
I have the OPO and for the first time since I got it over a year ago, I considered switching phones. I didn't after really looking into it.

>5" 1080p AMOLED
This seriously attracted me, I know the OPO screen is impressive tech but amoled can save battery with those blacks, and using ambient display would be cool.

>expandable storage
The other massive bonus.
>save your whole anime and porn collection on your phone
Wait, I'm not supposed to do that?
Sure would be nice to have more space though, but I don't exactly suffer with 64gb.

Ended up opting out because
>no 5ghz band
Why not...really why then eff not
>bye bye NFC
Again why do this, fucking packs of tags cost spare change just include the damn thing
>2520mAh or something like that
Even with a 5" amoled it won't surpass the OPO in terms of battery life
>capacitive keys don't light up
Come oooooonnnnn
>801 AB
Deliberately picking the cpu exactly one sub tier below the One. Goddamnit.

>opo sells at £19 more last I checked
Not sure why they are priced so close, unless you are dead set on a <5.2" phone the OPO has the ability to cannibalise the x's sales.
Would have felt like a downgrade.
>>
shill here, whats the hate for iphones on /g/?

personally the 5s is the best mobile device of all time imo, its relatively fast and durable and fits perfectly into the palm of my hand with the ability to avoid the dreaded green bubbles

>muh closed source anti freedom spyware

do you really use your phone for anything other than communication, watching media and access to maps? all my real work is done on my linux machine

i can understand why it might not be someones thing but the hate for these things is irrational

> Which breaks as fast as any gorilla glass screen, so stop exaggerating.
I owned a Iphone4 and the backplate broke 3times for me after the third time I trowed it away and I never gonna buy apple garbage again.
Trust me you dont want a glassbackplate, you are forced to have it in a case which destroys the looks, because if you dont it gonna look like shit in no time from scratches.

The only things I could see burning in are individual icons on the notifications bar if you're using the OLED black theme included in the ROM.

And isn't available in the United States.

>16gb is a bit short but other phones in that price region have 32gb which is more than enough for anybody normal.
Out of the box, after overhead and Android's base install, you're looking at having 10-12 GB free space at best, and I have a lot of music that isn't available through streaming services.

>OxygenOS a shit
Good thing OnePlus devices have good community and ROM support.

That said, I'll probably get an M4 Aqua instead because it's cheaper, the back plate isn't glass, and the device itself is water resistant.
>>
>>51266442
bluetooth speakers, toggle sync and wifi for being in the office vs going out to travel, connecting phones/tablets to your WiFi router without having to give out the password, simple shit meng

>>51265933
I had one for just over a month mate.

fantastic, feels solid, doesn't get hot, nothing slows it down, great camera.

The Os seems great and the shelf feature they had was great I had it set up perfectly with my 4 most used apps and two websites

only two things i didnt like

>finger print reader is not perfect
>speakers are not great

I lost mine so im not messing around with invites again, just grabbed a random motorola at the same price. So far this phone feels cheap as fuck and has slower cpu

jesus the amount of idiots on this board is astounding, it comes with 2/3 LTE bands for both AT&T and T-Mobile, and these are relatively new bands so rollout might not even catch up in the next year, and having 2/3 LTE bands isn't terrible, you'll just be sharing with everybody else that has a phone that isn't from 2nd half 2015

For me, it's between this and the Nexus 5x. The 5x is a Nexus so all those advantages are obvious, but it's so expensive considering what you're getting. Especially when compared with the OPX. I'm on T-mobile too so those missing bands will be a pain. But the OPX has so much going for it. Tough choice imo

It lacks 12 for T-Mobile US and 17 for AT&T US. Both of which are fast growing bands in the US.

Yeah, except T-Mobile uses one of those non existent bands for penetration, meaning using the phone in a building might be shit.

You could, for example, put a nfc tag in your pocket so when you go out, the wifi turns off and the screen brightness increases.


There's no excuse for not having it on a flagship device, when my midranger from 2013 has it
