Hi Guys, finally got the much anticipated invite
Here's of my review of oneplus 2 and pelosi sandstone back case
What you'll like
Premiuim build quality at price which is nowhere to be compared
USB type C reversible cable which can be plugged in either ways
Finger print sensor
Vanilla android(oxygen os ) with sufficient customisation
Improved audio output and guess what apple headphones does a wonder when plugged in(even the mic works well which wasnt working on oneplus one)
change styleswap cover easily
Improved snapdragon chipset with minimal heating
notification toggle slider which indeed is a iphone killer
Camera with laser autofocus ( I'm loving it )
And last but not least 4GB RAM for better multitasking
What you''ll not like
No quick charging (really cant complain for the price tag )
No wireless charging ( No big deal for me )
No NFC (which i dont use anways )
No Microsd slot ( I was oneplus one user so this also was not a big deal for me)
Verdict
Should you buy this phone? Definitely YES.......you'll realize once you get your hands on it trust me.
And also bought a pelosi case which is definitely worth the price.

Hey guys, im thinking of getting a LG Optimus One(p500), is it worth the money? (170 euros over here), does it slow down, is the camera good, etc? or should i get something else?
It's generally decent for the price, there's plenty of roms in the development section for it, the camera is USELESS in the dark though. everything else works perfectly though.
However, there's a few issue you have to take note of.Even though it's froyo aka Android 2.2, because of the hardware, it does not support Adobe Flash Player.And there is a bug in this phone and that is when you touch the screen when playing games or doing anything else, the frames will drop and the phone will lag.It's a touch screen bug I believe.Just hope that Android 2.3 will take care of this problem.Take note of all those things.
Its a great device for the price I bought it in Germany for 242€ on Amazon.
It does have some software issues.
On the Hardware side the device is pretty good.
The Screen is a LCD screen compared to the OLED of the i5700 it doesnt have any pixel problems.
The camera is more then enough for making pictures except in the dark I think even an LED Light wouldn't make so much differences. And who is making pictures late at night? Outside even and LED light wouldnt make a difference.
On new year I will try to make some pictures with it. ^_^
The device does have enough RAM and besides the software-issues its a great device.
I'm sure LG will fix this for their most successful android smartphone.
And we will get Gingerbread...
My first post in here... well...
im using this phone since 2nd December ... i bought it at 205euros [device only, unbranded etc etc...] with car charger + windshield stand.
I previously had an iPhone 3G and sold it because i got bored with that... so actually that's my 1st android device.
For the ammount of money i've spent ... the accesories i got along + a bluetooth stereo that i use for music, i have to say that it's the best phone i've seen!
I've been searching the market after selling my iphone for a new one with android [2.2froyo from the box!] with a price around 200euros and that's the only one i found!
This phone is a bargain and for me the only disadvantage is the Screen lag when being touched [software problem, may be fixed on gingerbread] and the fact that it doesnt have v7 processor so it doesnt support flash [no big deal but... :/]
Thought I'd review one of the cheaper battery cases you might find on your local eBay or on DealExtreme or other similar Chinese/HK e-tailers for about £20-25. I got mine off eBay and it arrived well packed in its own plastic box;

Only a battery and manual in the box.
Provided manual (Chinese language on other side not photographed)
It has a velvet like backing to help avoid scratching up the back of your phone and uses the magnetic side ports to charge phone. Micro USB charging port is on the bottom.
Camera cutout is in the right place but the plastic is a little cheap, as the light leaking through the body of the case demonstrates. You can sort of see the internals at the right angle.
Doesn't block any buttons or the headphone jack and lower eyelet but covers up the sim/microSD slot which is fine as they are not frequently accessed.
On the downside, it makes it difficult to open the battery charging port on the phone because the little notch to open the door is underneath, and blocked by the case.
For me, the charging notch sits in the gap between my thumb and the phone when I hold the phone as I usually do, so I think it actually helps me grip better.
Despite the flimsy looking leg, it is actually quite stable and doesn't tip as easily as some similar cases I've had for other phones.
And finally, the battery tests, it seems to give me about an 80% charge on two different runs and takes about 2.5 hours to empty. Battery logs below.
Second run;
Conclusion,
It doesn't deliver as much charge is I'd hoped but can nearly double your battery life. The cost is a similar doubling of the overall thickness, but the curved back makes it more comfortable to hold. It also gives me peace of mind that I won't scratch the glass rear. On the downside, the plastic quality is poor and attracts smudges easily but I won't expect the thing to fall apart in your hands.
So if the price is right for you, it seems to work as it should and will easily extend your battery life.
The power case.. or any case for that matter isn't something I'm interested in...
But you've done a great job with this thread. Detailed look at the unit with imagges, and discussed every major point. Nice work!
Hi where did you buy this case?
Thank you for the kind words Hamdogg.
Impetus, I bought mine from here; http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/261298963835. There are many places which seem to sell a similar product so I may go with whoever can ship it to you quickest or cheapest.

My gf and I have 5 of these and they work well for any phone/tablet that we have tried with them. They are adjustable and allow for multiple configs. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00N1VDCGO/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=31FDGNP3BEYKX&coliid=I2ESZGJMUGAQTC&psc=1

I'll probably 3D print a stand/qi charger for my Nexus 6. If I do I'll be sure to share the 3D files with everyone.

**** IM A NEW MEMBER SO IM NOT ALLOWED TO POST LINKS***

I use a Flygrip. It works as a horizontal and vertical stand and keeps me from dropping the phone. I having been using one since my Note 2 and always the first accessory I buy.
I use a plastic business card holder on my nightstand. Cheap and simple. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001E6EWVW/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_iapCub1KJB7Y8
But seriously, just google DIY phone stand, you'll get a zillion of them you can do for nothing. Personally I think the second one is just funny as can be...

This would be a cool starting point ( no, I would not personally use the Pringle can ) for an amplifier type one, since we have a bottom firing speaker...

I like this one as it is natural small and portable
or if you like bigger one
you can search on AMAZON for MINIMAL PHONE STAND
I bought this Anker Stand from Amazon a couple of years ago and have used it for 3 different phones and 4 different tablets. Still works great, and the ability to change the angle is a really nice bonus.

Hey Guys I just you to start off by saying I Picked up a 32gb unlocked sg6e off of my local craigslist for a decent deal. I am running into a dilemma though. My current 6 plus is 128 gb, I used about 30gb so far on my 6 plus but that is with about 13gb worth of pics and 10gb of music.
I can trim down on the music and the pics but what I am curious about is will the sg6e lack in performance due to begin close to capacity.?
Also how can I take advantage of the octocore processor? What are some major advantages the sg 6 e has?
Ultimately I am bored with the iPhone imessage and the storage is what is keeping me there..... I wish I had a 64gb edge or ideally a 128 and i would just say eff it.....
Please share your opinions ! thanks !
First off, Welcome to Android You've made a wise decision.
As for your storage concerns, there's a few things you can do, but none of them are going to be as good as having the 128Gb of internal storage.
First I suggest that you install one drive and see if you get the free 100GB of storage that is coming with some of the Galaxy S6 + S6E. Then turn on the camera upload feature. This will upload all of the pictures you take to your cloud storage. I do this and about once a month I go through and delete all my videos and pictures from my phone (apart from the ones that I want to have quickly handy). The rest of your pictures and videos will still be available to you as long as you have an internet connection... Like I said, not ideal but it works well. I don't have to venture to my drive very often unless I'm looking for an old pic to print or send.
As for the performance issues, I don't think you will see that many issues here. The biggest problem you will run into is when you want to install an app or update and you are at your limit. Then you will have to do some memory shuffling to move forward which is always annoying.
The octacore processor is kind of like two quad core processors. So each quad core processor handles different tasks. (i.e. one will handle small stuff like messages and background and the other will run your videos, streaming, games etc..) Samsung did a good job at balancing the workload for the processors, it makes switching between your apps a breeze and really eliminates any kind of sluggishness. I have had mine for about 3 weeks and it is still as snappy and awesome as day 1!
Anyways, hope this helps!

You will have issues with the battery though, coming from the 6 plus
USB OTG
This would be a good solution to your problem.
It is a very small USB OTG adaptor (the front half from the photo) in which you can plug your USB stick (the second half).
You can get a flash drive OTG (On The Go), but I prefer the adaptor, because I can plug in it every flash drive I have in my pocket.
I suppose it sucks power but hey, you can charge now your SGS 6E in half an hour

I am a beta tester from China
I have used the new OnePlus 2 for a few week
Ugly design, but the crafting is good
Thicker body, but feel good in hands
Camera has OIS, but not Sony sensor
Home button with fingerprint sensor, not quite sensitive
Oxygen OS not finalize yet, lots of bugs
Prefer OnePlus One more ...
Enjoy the hands-on pics! (shortened the "http" )

Not sure if you're talking the truth,
but since this is the first time I see those leaked pictures **** must be kind of true.
Pls tell me it has SD card slot
Looks like a dog, but not as bad as the TENAA leaks, but way short of any wow factor the One had. OP are really going to have to market this to get any longevity out of this Samsung/LG mishmash
SD card?
And how is the temperature?

Is there a Lite model or just a OnePlus 2?
Does it have an IR Blaster?
How is the sound quality of the speakers?
Is that a mute switch on the side of the device?
Looks just fine to me. What about the screen size and resolution?
Now you got me curious
That IR blaster question even more
Could you please post some full resolution sample pictures taken with the camera?
Does it still have a option for on screen navigation buttons?
Guys those are real but idk why they are leaked.
More pictures in high resolution?
This is just short beta preview, actually it means nothing, guys, just wait for full video preview, i think someone will make in next 24h after VR launch
Anyway it looks nicer than before
It's definitely sleeker than the original leaked images led us to believe. Based on what he just posted on the front page, this is the A2001, which is the lite version of the phone. The A2003 is the higher end model and will look somewhat different (potentially).
I edited the OP to make the links active - and it looks like there is an imgur album

What is that weird switch on the left of the body?

Best guess I've seen is a mute switch.
thanks @jerdog for fixing.
@chinaleakking - thank you for sharing -- can you describe what you mean by "not quite sensitive" ?
Does it have a micro SD card slot??? If so, this is definitely a 2016 flagship killer.
