Their "edge" is amusing. And its edge feature is breath taking. But I only go for the 1 yr old flagship. So I just have to wait

That is what it takes to make waves in any industry. I will disagree that the one+ is not like a nexus product. The phone costs about the same as a 32 gig nexus 5. It is every bit as good if not better. The community support for custom roms is just as strong. Pretty much all the well known roms support bacon.

One plus is a big piece of turd because there's zero quality control or after sales service to address their horrid quality control
The one plus is not that great of a deal..it's really just one of the gazillion cheapo Chinese phones on alibaba or whatever site...great if you luck out and get a working one...SOL otherwise.
The one plus is like 500 cdn dollars at your door..for a cheapo Chinese phone that may or may not work...might as well gamble on the 200 Chinese knockoffs
One plus is not a nexus simply because it's not pure android..its no different than the skin all the other manufacture put on android...and updates are still not as fast and most importantly doesnt have the excellent customer service of a nexus product. My n5 was having reboot problems...a phone call to human being answered in less than 5 mins and an email replied in less than 6 hrs and a replacemt was shipped to me and return shipping label provided for when my phone arrived and I ship old one back and credit card hold released once shipping label scanned
No amount of broken roms for broken hardware for one plus can do that

The amount of different cell phones they make that is no surprise. Even Samsung themselves realized that they are making way too many different cell phones per year.

Even as someone who doesn't love Samsung, it's undeniable they are by far the most successful Android phone maker. Not only in sales but even their profits from smartphone sales, which in 2014 was considered a bad yr for them, far eclipses all the other Android phone makers COMBINEDSpectralMeat wrote: ↑The amount of different cell phones they make that is no surprise.

Did you own one or are you merely echoing some of the bad news stories that you read on the net? I have one and I could not be happier with the purchase. It cost me $418 CD. Got it before the Canadian dollar went limp, can't blame currency translation impacts on one+. My purchase is cheaper than what it would cost for a 32 gig nexus 5 from google. I have a friend who traded up from a nexus 5 to a one+ and he could not be happier with the upgrade. Maybe there were some people who had bad luck with their one+. You will read a lot about it on the net as those who are happy with their purchase do not have the same level of passion to discuss their good news stories. It is unreasonable to expect the same response from a company that google can buy with an hour's worth of income. This is after all their first product. On balance, I have to say they have done okay. Obviously they can improve a ton, likely they will with their next release. I look forward to upgrading to a one+ two later in the year.LandKing wrote: ↑Steve is just a moron that is full of himself without realizing he's not even an insect

Did you happen to get one that was manufactured early on? Mine was manufactured in Mid November. I have no screen issues. There was a bug in the 44S firmware that affected the proximity sensor. Disabling functions involving the proximity sensor as a workaround was effective. The CM12 firmware fixed everything. Because I wanted to run lollipop, I went with slimsaber right away. The software has been totally stable, even though it is only an alpha build. You might want to give it a look.victorinoxs wrote: ↑+1
I used to love CyanogenMod.....I first flashed CyanogenMod on my HTC Magic back in 2009, even donated to them a few times....fast forwarded to 2014, all flagship devices released in 2014 were very disappointing including the Nexus 6...so I ended up getting the OPO. I do like my OPO but the low quality touch screen and buggy software are really getting on my nerves. The latest 05Q system update is so buggy that I completely lost my faith in CM...... on the contrary, the Samsung Galaxy S6 seems amazing....I won't call OPO a piece of turd, but when compared to the new S6....it kind of feels like one......
p.s. I absolutely hate TouchWiz, but seriously, I will take a stable TouchWiz ROM over a buggy CM ROM any day....

Wow; a £45 million ($85 million CAD) marketing budget in Great Britain alone! I wonder what their worldwide marketing budget is for the S6? Of course; Samsung is no stranger to unleashing the cash to stir up business; in recent years their marketing budget has been bigger than than Apple, HP, Dell, Microsoft and Coca Cola’s combined (!). But all power to them; marketing is part of the game and it usually does pay.will888 wrote: ↑I wonder if this has anything to do with why everyone is raving about the S6. Hype works.

I have had my eye on one of their LNG Carrier ships but the darn thing hasn't been on sale at Costco in a dog's age!

But yes, far and away the most profitable and highest sales of Android vendors. They went from being a discount, bargain basement phone brand to being the largest in the world almost overnight, in truly spectacular fashion. Whether they flame out as quickly remains to be seen.

Of course. But you can't deny that it does help having phones from budget to high end and everything in between to become the top dog.HP_John wrote: ↑The post i was replying to made it seem like the only reason Samsung sells a lot of phones is due to releasing a lot of phone models. You dont become #1 android vendor due to simply releasing a lot of phones. S3 was a big hit for them at the right time, marketing, etc, there are lots of factors. Not just because they released many models of phones.
Mar 8th, 2015 10:24 pm
Breadth of selection helped to a degree. Their lowend filler phones helped in vaulting them to the high numbers of overall sales. Their high end devices helped pad their profits.HP_John wrote: ↑The post i was replying to made it seem like the only reason Samsung sells a lot of phones is due to releasing a lot of phone models.

Heck, Samsung is still the #2 most profitable cell phone maker in the world, behind only Apple.
