OnePlus One release date, price, specs UK: Buy OnePlus One without an invite today

 

The OnePlus One smartphone was hailed as a 2014 flagship killer, with features to rival the , , , and other flagship Android devices, yet it costs less than half the price at a super-budget $299/€269/£229 (16GB model). It's still difficult to get hold of (see ), despite OnePlus recently confirming its successor, the . But the OnePlus One will be available to buy without an invite for a short period later today (20 January). 

OnePlus One: Troubled beginnings

We waited for what felt like forever to get our hands on the OnePlus One, and since OnePlus doesn't supply review samples we were in the same boat as all the other hopefuls. When we finally got an invite to buy it, our OnePlus One got delayed by customs, and then we were made to pay import duty (see: ). But we got there in the end, and it is worth the wait. Read more about the possibility of a , a , and a  phone.

At first OnePlus was allowing people to purchase the OnePlus One through invitation only, but confusion over how to get a OnePlus One invite has led OnePlus to re-assess the situation. Still wanting to keep a tight control on supply and demand, it is now developing a system through which you can pre-order the OnePlus One. The pre-order system was trialled for a very short period on 27 October, and again in late 2014. It will once again go on sale without you needing an invite for a two-hour window today (20 January) between 7pm and 9pm (UK time). Also see: .

OnePlus One: Getting an invite

OnePlus One is using competitions and promotional events to hand out invites to buy its OnePlus One. Previous competitions have included Smash the Past. In this competition, which ended on 2 May 2014, OnePlus asked OnePlus One smartphone hopefuls to apply to be one of the first 100 owners of the handset. The chosen ones had to smash their existing smartphone, film it, then stick it on . The winners were rewarded with an invite to purchase the OnePlus One for just $1, plus three invites for their friends.

"By paying attention to the smallest details, taking a holistic approach to product design, and working with the best partners such as Cyanogen and Qualcomm, we have been able to create the greatest day-to-day user experience in a smartphone without compromise," said Pete Lau, CEO of OnePlus.

OnePlus One: Pre-order system

OnePlus is working on a pre-order system for buying the OnePlus One, without needing an invite. It says you'll be able to cancel your order at any time up until the order is processed. This pre-order system was trialled back in October and again in late 2014. It will once again go on sale without you needing an invite for a two-hour window today (20 January) between 7pm and 9pm (UK time).

During a limited time window, you will be able to place an order for the OnePlus One. If we have the items in stock, we’ll ship immediately. If we don’t, it will automatically become a pre-order. No matter what, we’ll always tell you our best approximation for when it will ship before you submit the payment authorization (we’ll reserve the payment and charge you when we ship). - See more at: http://oneplus.net/blog/2014/09/the-oneplus-pre-order-system/#sthash.3Oiw9p46.dpuf

OnePlus One: Release date

Although the OnePlus One has now been officially released, it's still tricky to get hold of. It will once again go on sale without you needing an invite for a two-hour window today (20 January) between 7pm and 9pm (UK time). See 

OnePlus One: Can I buy the OnePlus One from Oppomart?

Oppomart is indeed listing the 16GB Silk White OnePlus One as available for sale on its site. However, Oppomart is not affiliated with OnePlus, and the version it is offering customers runs Color OS, not CyanogenMod 11S. It claims all other features and specifications are the same.  

OnePlus One: Price

The OnePlus One comes in 16GB Silk White and 64GB Sandstone Black varieties. The 16GB model costs $299/£229, while the 64GB OnePlus One is only slightly more expensive at $349/£269. 

OnePlus One: Specs

The OnePlus One phone originally ran a modified version of Android KitKat known as CyanogenMod 11S, but has now been updated to Android Lollipop 5.0.2 via the CyanogenMod 12 Nightly ROM. You can install this on your OnePlus One using a custom recovery tool such as ClockworkMod (CWM) or TWRP.

CyanogenMod will instantly appeal to enthusiasts and tinkerers with its unlimited scope for customisation. It also features advanced Camera and Gallery apps, letting you make the most of the OnePlus One's 4k video-recording capability, plus improved privacy-protection features that include SMS encryption and PrivacyGuard.  

And then there's the hardware: OnePlus' motto is 'Never settle', and it's easy to see why. The OnePlus One phone bests the Samsung Galaxy S4, Sony Xperia Z2 and HTC One, running a 2.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor with Adreno 330 graphics and 3GB of RAM. It also features a higher-capacity - if non-removable - 3100mAh battery (beaten only by the Sony Xperia Z2's 3200mAh), a larger 5.5in full-HD touchscreen, and a 13Mp Sony Exmor IMX214 13Mp camera with f/2.0 aperture and dual-LED flash. The front camera is primed for selfies at 5Mp, while video recording stretches to 4k with 120fps slow-motion available at 720p. 

The OnePlus One phone, which weighs 162g and measures 152.9x75.9x8.9mm, supports dual-band Wi-Fi, including the very latest 802.11ac standard, Bluetooth 4, NFC, GPS and 4G LTE. There are built-in stereo speakers and a tri-microphone with noise cancellation.  

We can look past the OnePlus One phone's lack of a memory card slot for storage expansion, given that the 64GB model was at the time of release around half the price of Apple's 64GB . 

OnePlus claims its One smartphone boasts industry-leading design and superior build quality, with "subtle curves, sleek lines and a slightly raised jet-black display".

OnePlus Power Bank

The OnePlus Power Bank is yet to go on sale, but at $14.99 for a 10000mAh lithium-polymer cell that has a 2A (10W) input and twin 2A (10W) outputs, and weighs just 220g, it looks to be a fantastic deal that should charge your OnePlus three times on the move.

Xiaomi Mi Note Pro vs Samsung Galaxy Note 4 comparison: What's the most powerful phone in the world?

Last week Xiaomi unveiled its Mi Note Pro, a much cheaper rival to the Note 4 that it says is the most powerful  in the world. We take a look at the specs in our Xiaomi Mi Note Pro vs Samsung Galaxy Note 4 comparison. Also see:  and our full . 

Note that we have not yet tested the Xiaomi Mi Note Pro and are merely comparing only the specs; your eventual purchasing decision should also take into account how the phones cope with everyday life. Also see:  and . 

Xiaomi Mi Note Pro vs Samsung Galaxy Note 4 comparison: UK price and availability 

Samsung's Galaxy Note 4 is already available in the UK on a contract or SIM-free. At the time of writing the Note 4 cost £519 SIM-free at Amazon. 

Xiaomi's Mi Note Pro is not yet on sale in the UK, but it's expected at the end of March with a retail value of 3,299 yuan. A straight conversion is £353, making it some £160 cheaper than the Note 4, although it'll probably cost a little more over here.  is already listing the Mi Note Pro for $599, which equates to £399 (still £120 cheaper than the Note 4). 

Xiaomi Mi Note Pro vs Samsung Galaxy Note 4 comparison: Display, design and build 

Both the Xiaomi Mi Note Pro and Samsung Galaxy Note 4 are what we might consider  (also see ) with 5.7in screens. Each adorns a Quad HD (2560x1440) resolution, resulting in a pixel density of 515ppi. The choice of panel tech differs, however, with Samsung using a Super AMOLED screen and Xiaomi opting for Sharp/JDI's IPS LCD tech. We reckon this gives Samsung the slight edge, but both are brilliant screens. 

The phones are built around sturdy metal frames. Xiaomi fits its Mi Note Pro with a 2.5D glass front and 3D glass rear giving it a premium feel. Samsung matches its front but uses a faux leather rear that may add some grip. The Samsung's back cover is also removable, letting you access the battery compartment and swap in a spare. 

The Xiaomi Mi Note Pro is significantly thinner than the Samsung Galaxy Note 4, and a little lighter too. It measures 77.6x6.95x155.1mm and weighs 161g against the Note 4's 153.5x8.5x78.6mm and 176g. 

Xiaomi Mi Note Pro vs Samsung Galaxy Note 4 comparison: Processor, memory and storage

Xiaomi takes the lead in the hardware department, and although we've yet to run our benchmarks on the Mi Note Pro we can be pretty sure its Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 chip will beat the Note 4's 805 hands-down. Clocked at 2GHz, this 64-bit octa-core processor is paired with Adreno 430 graphics and 4GB of RAM. By comparison the Note 4 packs a 2.7GHz quad-core 32-bit chip with Adreno 420 graphics and 3GB of RAM.  

You might not notice the extra complement of RAM in general use, but Adreno 430 graphics are said to be 30 percent faster than the 420, and the 64-bit support of the Xiaomi's 810 will allow it to support future 64-bit apps. 

We have had the opportunity to test the Samsung Galaxy Note 4, and found it one of the fastest phones we've ever reviewed (also see: ). In Geekbench 3 it managed 3272 points, in SunSpider it recorded 1367ms, and in GFXBench we saw 27fps in T-Rex and 11fps in Manhattan. Expect even more from the Xiaomi Mi Note Pro. 

In terms of storage the Xiaomi Mi Note Pro has 64GB as standard (the Note 4 has 32GB), but it lacks the Samsung's microSD support, which lets you add up to 128GB. 

Xiaomi Mi Note Pro vs Samsung Galaxy Note 4 comparison: Connectivity and extras 

The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 stands out for its S Pen (stylus) support and features such as a fingerprint scanner, UV sensor and heart rate monitor, Xiaomi has an ace up its sleeve with dual-SIM support, which is becoming increasingly popular (also see: ). The Mi Note Pro accepts a nano- and a Micro-SIM, and both support 4G connectivity.  

The Note 4 also supports 4G, but has only a single SIM option. It's also of the Cat 6 (300Mb/s) variety, compared to the Mi Note Pro's Cat 9 (450Mb/s). The Note 4 can, however, pair its 4G connection with Wi-Fi to provide super-fast download speeds. 

According to  you'll find Bluetooth 4.0 and dual-band ac Wi-Fi in the Mi Note Pro, but other connectivity specs are to be confirmed. Meanwhile, with the Note 4 you will find an IR blaster, Bluetooth 4.1, NFC, the latest 802.11ac Wi-Fi with 2x2 MIMO, plus MHL 3.0.  

Xiaomi Mi Note Pro vs Samsung Galaxy Note 4 comparison: Cameras 

It's impossible to say which is the better camera without testing them, although on paper the Samsung appears to have the better rear camera, while the Xiaomi beats it for selfies at the front. Also see: and . 

Samsung fits a 16Mp camera at the back, while Xiaomi specifies 13Mp. Both feature OIS, but only the Samsung can shoot 4K video (the Mi Note Pro maxes out at 1080p full-HD). 

At the front the Note 4 has a 3.7Mp camera with a wide selfie mode, while the Mi Note Pro has a 4Mp camera with large 2-micron pixels. 

Xiaomi Mi Note Pro vs Samsung Galaxy Note 4 comparison: Software 

Out of the box the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 runs Android 4.4 KitKat with TouchWiz, but it will be updated to the latest version, . The Xiaomi Mi Note Pro runs Xiaomi's MIU 6 software, which is based on Android 4.4.4 KitKat. 

Samsung offers more in terms of extra software features, but this isn't necessarily a good thing for all users. We do like the ability to simultaneously view two apps onscreen and the S Note app when used with the improved, however. 

Xiaomi Mi Note Pro vs Samsung Galaxy Note 4: Audio 

Samsung boasts multi-directional voice recording for its Galaxy Note 4 with three mics, but for playback it's the Xiaomi that takes the lead. It supports 24-bit/192KHz lossless playback of files including APE, FLAC, DSD and WAV. The Note 4 can handle MP3, AAC/AAC?/eAAC?, WMA, AMR-NB/WB, Vorbis and FLAC audio. 

Xiaomi Mi Note Pro vs Samsung Galaxy Note 4 comparison: Battery life 

Battery life is impossible to guess from the specs alone, but we reckon this one will swing Samsung's way. Not only does it have less powerful hardware and more energy-efficient screen tech, its battery is higher-capacity (3220mAh against the Xiaomi's 3000mAh) and removable. Also see: . 

Xiaomi Mi Note Pro vs Samsung Galaxy Note 4 comparison: Verdict 

With a price some £120 lower than the Galaxy Note 4, dual-SIM capability and the faster hardware of the pair, Xiaomi's Mi Note Pro is a seriously impressive proposition. But Samsung has plenty to fight back with, including what we think will be the better screen, longer battery life and special features such as an S Pen, a fingerprint scanner, heart-rate monitor and UV sensor. We can't wait to get the Xiaomi Mi Note Pro into our lab and take a proper look.

How to install WhatsApp on iPad or Android tablet: use WhatsApp on a Wi-Fi-only tablet

According to WhatsApp, you can't install and use its instant-messaging service on a Wi-Fi-only tablet. Yes, you can. Here we show you how to use WhatsApp on an iPad or an Android tablet with no 3G or 4G connectivity.

How to install WhatsApp on an iPad

The process of installing WhatsApp on an iPad and an Android tablet is very different. With an iPad you need to download the app to your Mac or PC, then use iFunBox to install it on your iPad. For detailed instructions on how to install WhatsApp on an iPad, head over to our sister site Macworld: 'How to install WhatsApp on iPad'. 

How to install WhatsApp on an Android tablet

Below we'll concentrate on how to install WhatsApp on an Android tablet with no cellular connectivity, and then how to bypass WhatsApp's phone verification system.

How to install WhatsApp on a tablet: Download the WhatsApp APK file 

If you're browsing Google Play on a Wi-Fi-only tablet WhatsApp won't be presented in the search results because it's not officially supported on your device. To get around this you simply need to download and install the WhatsApp APK file - just Google 'WhatsApp APK' and you'll find loads of download sites.  

How to install WhatsApp on a tablet: Tweak your security settings 

Before your Android tablet will allow you to install the WhatsApp APK file you've just downloaded you'll need to enter your tablet's Settings menu, scroll down to and select Security, then enable Unknown sources under Device Administration.You can go back and disable this option once you've installed WhatsApp.

 

You should now be able to simply click on the WhatsApp APK file-download notification in your tablet's notification bar, then click Install. Once the app is installed press Open.

How to install WhatsApp on a tablet: Bypass WhatsApp phone verification 

The next challenge is to bypass WhatsApp's phone verification system. Enter your usual phone number, then click OK. You will receive a text message on your phone, but of course it won't be detected on your tablet.  

After five minutes WhatsApp will report that SMS verification has failed and you should try voice verification. Tap Call me, then answer the phone call on your smartphone to get the verification code you need.

You can now enter this code on your tablet and get started using WhatsApp. 

Note that WhatsApp will ask whether you want to restore your message history from its backup, but this didn't work for us - presumably because none of that data is stored on the tablet.

How to install WhatsApp on a tablet: Using WhatsApp on a phone and a tablet at the same time 

The only real down side to this method of installing WhatsApp on a Wi-Fi-only tablet is that as soon as you verify your account on the tablet WhatsApp will stop working on your smartphone. That's because a phone number can only ever be associated with one WhatsApp account. This might not bother you - after all, you don't really need to view your messages on both your phone and your tablet, and you could simply verify the service on whichever device you'll have to hand that day. 

However, you can get around this and use WhatsApp on a phone and a tablet at the same time by using a different mobile number. If you have a second mobile number used for business then you're laughing (). You could also take advantage of the free PAYG SIMs routinely offered by UK mobile operators, although these will expire after a few months if you don't use them, and as soon as someone else registers that same number with WhatsApp you'll have to start over.  

It doesn't matter which number you use for verification, as long as it is a mobile (rather than landline) number and that you have it to hand in order to answer the call and get the code. 

If you live in the US it has been suggested that you can use a Google Voice number. I'm unable to verify this, since only members with full accounts can receive calls using Google Voice, and that service isn't available in the UK. If this works for you, please let other readers know in the comments section below. 

Another one for US readers is TextPlus, a free Android app that lets you send and receive texts and make phone calls on a tablet. Just send your phone a text from the tablet to find out what phone number you need to enter into WhatsApp. Again, however, as I'm in the UK I can't verify this one. 

You could also try a service that creates a disposable alias to your mobile number. There are a few free versions out there, but the two Android apps we tried created US numbers that weren't recognised by WhatsApp.
