It makes the phone so fucking slippy if you don't have a case on it. Other than that it's class. And I think it's only glass and metal exterior so no plastic. Get a clear case for it then, obviously.Another potential issue for the fold - can't see a case working well on it and at that price I don't want to scratch it.

I had the One Plus One which was their first release. It turned out OK but in hindsight buying a phone off a startup is a daft idea. I'm sure that's no longer a concern though. My basic point though was that the Android software is available to abyone who wants to use it on a device. So you will get some unreliable manufacturers turning out shit hardware, and sometimes with the added negative of a poor, bastardised version of Android on them. From memory, OnePlus stick very close to stock Android, and their handsets have always been positively reviewed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not because I want somewhere to keep my bank cards, or one of those odd handles that selfy ghouls use, but simply because I am the clumsiest of cunts ever to walk the Earth.

Thing is as far as I can tell flagship Android phones and iPhones are converging in terms of functionality and price so who gives a shit? Personally, I like innovation. I would like to get a fold as my next phone but fuck paying £1800 for it like. Ah I thought you and PL had beef over phones or something. Little disappointed to be honest.
