OnePlus One use Cyanogen firmware that offer more customisation features to fit you better
1. It is different and unique with CyanogenMod
Instead of the usual Android OS, OnePlus One is pre-installed with CyanogenMod. CyanogenMod is an enhanced open source firmware distribution for smartphones and tablet computers and it offers features and options not found in the official firmware. You can customize your smartphone to suit yourself better and even improve the performance!

You will be surprised by the way to unbox your OnePlus One for the first time. Especially when you saw the colorful USB cable and SIM-Card Pin beneath the phone.

2. Strong device with powerful chipsets
OnePlus One has Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 Processor with 2.5 GHz CPU, which highly enhance the performance of this gadget. Together with built-in 3GB RAM, you can have stable and speedy operating using the phone. This is what I've experience so far. It is fast!!
Smooth Gaming Experience on OnePlus One - LINE Rangers
With the high capability of OnePlus One's chipsets, I can enjoy all of my games and it run smoothly although I have multiple application running together. I can edit Instagram photos using VSCOCAM and post it live on social media channel efficiently too.

3. Simple And Sleek Design
By just looking at the shape of OnePlus One, you will be attracted by the simple design on both the screen and the curvy edge. I like the Sandstone black cover which offer you better grip on this phone with large screen.

4. For a budget smartphone, the camera perform really well
As a photographer, I find that OnePlus One with the 13 megapixel Sony Exmor IMX214 has a good camera that can capture nice close up photos and looking sharp even under low light. The f/2.0 aperture camera lens will helps you take nice photos at night and with less distortion thanks to the six physical lens system.

For a budget smartphone, OnePlus One camera perform quite well even at night. It might be blur in some of your shots (at night) but you can quickly take a few more photos to ensure you get the desire shot.

OnePlus One has the timelapse function too so you can capture nice timelapse video as long you keep your smartphone stable. I was recording the LRT Timelapse by using handheld only. Looks pretty cool as you can adjust the time duration between each frame.

5. To use On Screen or Capacitive Keys, it's your choice
Have you ever struggle before on why there is too much/little buttons on your smartphone?? Now OnePlus One let you decide to enable/disable the capacitive keys so that you can make your smartphone even more personal. You can change the function of each keys to different function beside the usual feature.
There are even some smart shortcuts to unlock your phone by just double tap on the screen or draw a circle on the screen to unlock the camera. You can always disable these functions anytime too.
You can change your battery icon to different shape and to show the percentage or not on OnePlus One
6. Last all day long with 3100mAh Battery Capacity
Since everything is embedded, the phone looks sleek although it contains 3100mAh battery that can last you all day long. If you are a heavy smartphone gamer like me, Powerbank is so convenient that you don't need to worry about lacking of battery juice.
7. It is very affordable
Considering the high-end chipsets, functions and phone design, OnePlus One is the smartphone that you want to buy especially when it is selling at affordable price. OnePlus One Sandstone Black 64GB is retailed at USD 348 (RM1240++ ) on their official website excluding oversea delivery charges. You can even get it at cheaper price (RM599*) exclusively under Maxis Telco One Club Plan or you can just get the phone at RM1199 contract free from Maxis, exclusively telco partner for OnePlus.
The thing that people might complain about is the lacking of microSD slot on OnePlus One. In my opinion, 64GB is kinda huge and enough for user like me. So looking at the brightside you will make yourself backup your phone from time to time. Oh wait, actually it doesn't matter if you have cloud storage like Dropbox to backup your files from time to time =)
