  • The OnePlus One seemed like a good phone. Then I bought the 2015 Moto X and realized how bad the OnePlus One was. I can’t recommend any OnePlus products.

  • After getting hosed by OnePlus and their ridiculous invite system more than once, OnePlus can kiss my ass. I will never buy or use another product from them…ever.

  • 32gb moto x pure on amazon warehouse deals for for 266 is a way better price than this deal. If I needed a new phone the mxpe @266 I’d be all over this deal

    • I had the 1st gen Moto X and now on the 2nd Gen Moto X. I’m VERY disappointed in the quality of the 2nd gen. I haven’t seen a screen this fragile in a LONG time, I have constant problems with wifi and data connecting, and it’s the first phone I’ve consistently dropped calls with in awhile. I can be 5 feet from my router and wont be able to connect. I know it’s no the router because nobody else in my house has problems. I’m on my third 2nd gen and have had this problem with all of them.

      Trying to get Motorola to fix anything is a chore now that they go through Lenovo. It’s just sad to see a company I’ve supported for SO long start to turn now that they’re owned by a Chinese company. (I know all about Lenovo computers too, I’m typing this on one as we speak). /end rant

      • Bro the second gen moto X was easily my least favorite phone of the past 5 years. I can’t say enough on how much I dislike that phone and how many things were wrong with it. I actually gave it to my mother when I was done with it and she hated it so much she wanted to go back to her Nexus 4.

      • Moto X 2nd Gen here… Sorry you’ve had issues, mine has functioned perfectly since day 1. And I love the fast updates.

        • If you even get updates. The bulk of Moto X 2nd gen’s have received their last update before the phone even turns 2 years old.

          It’s 2016 Motorola, no excuse for this.

          • I guess I should have added that I’m Pure Edition with an AT&T Sim card. My update came straight from Motorola. It really is AT&Ts fault if a Moto X didn’t get an update.

      • My wife’s Moto X Pure Edition (2015) suddenly stopped connecting to the mobile network. Wifi and bluetooth were fine. I went through all the troubleshooting steps on their website, which ended with a factory reset. Still had no luck. Called support and they setup the RMA in no time, emailing me a shipping label. They sent an email saying I would have a working phone, in my hands, in 5-7 business days. After they receive the broken one of course. I wasn’t paying $25 to cross ship.

        10 business days later I call to inquire. I was informed the shipping department had no phones to ship and would be at least another week. I even offered to take a standard black phone rather than the one designed in Moto Maker. It made no difference. I wrote an email to all of the board members, guessing at many of their email addresses. Jim Wicks received my email and a code to build a brand new Moto X Pure Edition was sent to my email the next day. I am still disappointed I had to go through such measures to get an RMA.

      • Tried to order a Turbo 2 for my pop and Moto CANCELLED the order!? Wasn’t that nice of them! Needlessly to say, they lost a customer. Ordered the 5x and got it in 2 days, he loves it.

  • Soooo…they dropped the price, did away with invites, and dropped their lower-tier model. Any guesses as to how this phone’s performing sales-wise?

  • So whats better the One plus 2 or the Nexus 5x? I am trying to recommend a phone under $400 for my sister. She has to have a fingerprint scanner and a decent camera. She doesn’t care about NFC. So on paper this phones seems like the obvious choice.

    • Alot of good deals now on the g4/gflex2 that would be a superior choice over the one plus 2.

      • She doesn’t want another LG phone, which is the exact reason why she is probably going to get the One plus 2. Her G3 and G4 craped out on her just like her LG chocolate. So she is trying not to get an LG phone.

          • The 5x is a sweet device and even if she isn’t worried about software updates, it won’t be an issue with the 5x. The pics my dad sends me are excellent!

          • I’m really worried about recommending another LG phone even though I know it was made with Google. But the 2GB ram really worries me about getting a phone that will be horrible in a year. Does it slow down often?

          • I’d just get the Nexus Protect and call it good. I haven’t noticed any slow downs… Being up to date on the latest software, I don’t see it being irrelevant in a year.

          • There’s no reason to buy this phone then, lacking LTE bands and NFC. She will be ridiculed immediately by her bookface friends.

          • Again, see my prior post, hahahahaha. Fail phone is fail and your sis is moving from LGC, so she probably wants a phone that actually works and runs android.

          • Okay not saying you’re wrong or anything, just would like to see an article or reports on it. Cause I cant find anything

          • Thanks for the recommendation, I’m trying to get her a phone closer to stock android. But I will ask her what she thinks

    • Honestly there’s a deal going right now for the Nexus 6p at $450 and it comes with I think $40 in gift cards. That’s basically $400 for the 6p, and I would recommend that all day long over the 5x and the one plus 2

  • Someone you love? If you love someone you wouldn’t give them an NFC less phone.

  • What is the over/under on how long One Plus will last as a Company? 1 year? 6 months?
