OnePlus One VS Samsung Galaxy S5: Specs comparison

The Chinese new-player OnePlus is a starting smartphone company that already got the attention of many consumers with its One. It is touted to be the flagship killer because of its affordable price tag and impressive specs that claim to battle the likes of Samsung’s Galaxy S5. Just how close is the battle on paper? We pitted both devices side-by-side for a specs comparison.

As you can see, the two devices share the same Snapdragon 801 processor while the rest of their specs are somewhat in the same range of each other. The biggest difference between the two is the price — with the Galaxy S5 almost three times the price of the One.

We’ve seen the similarities and differences of both devices in terms of specs and we’ve also taken note of their respective price points. The question now is this: Would you take a risk and buy a OnePlus One (if ever it gets here) over a Samsung Galaxy S5 considering the former is just a budding company? Or does it even matter? More importantly, is this the time where Chinese products should no longer be considered only as lower classes?

    nasa paggamit yan eh kahit anong ganda ng unit mo at bopols ka naman maghandle sa madaling salita careless ka wala din kwenta ako S2 ko 3 years na but still working naka mod CM11 at parang bago pa din at yon CM Flare almost 1 year na pero ok na ok pa din wala problema.

    Sana magkaroon nito dito sa pinas bibili ako nito para ka na din naka note 3 sa spec pa lang aanhin mo ang brandname kung ang spec panget naman para lang yan desktop eh bakit ako bibili ng DELL or HP kung pwede naman assemble na lang ako kasi mas makakamura ako mas magandang spec pa.

    Will still go for a Samsung phone which I can get from a data plan from either smart or globe. What I like about branded phones:

    Support/upgrade
    Sure sa quality
    May warranty

    My Note 2 will be turning 2 years now and so far, I still see using this phone near term lalu na magkakaKitKat na kami. :)

    For now mahirap pang makabili ng oneplus1. I to any sulit phone. If you have a chance na makabili into, wag na kayong magpatumpik-tumpik pa.

    • Avatar for archie archie says:

      Lahat ng smartphone ngayon ay gawa sa China. Kahit ang local brands na nagmamalaking proud to be pinoy ay galing Tsina. Kung yun ngang Cherry Mobile na sirain e napagtiyagaan ng pinoy, yan pa kaya na may integrity sa bansa nila?

    • Avatar for bro bro says:

      Pre, wag isip-hangal, product research naman pag may time. High-end build quality ng OnePlus (na subsidiary ng Oppo). HTC level gawa niyan brad. Ewan ka nga talaga lol

    Just like the Nexus line – taxes will make the SRP go higher. I think the price in HK is actually already higher than the US price which is 13k vs 17k.

  13. Avatar for bliss bliss says:

    if the price stays below 15k then yes…if not there are other options to consider…the note 3 is just 24k (grey market) lg g2 at 20k
