The One Plus One and the iPhone 6 Plus, two very different phones even beyond their operating systems. We’ve already reviewed both the One Plus One and the iPhone 6 Plus here on Techaeris so this isn’t a full on review of the devices. Rather I wanted to do a One Plus One versus iPhone 6 Plus bullet list showdown instead. Right now I am using both these devices everyday and I am enjoying them very much, so to make this quick and easy my likes and dislikes of both devices will be listed below in simple bullet list form. So let’s take a look. UPDATE: One Plus has made it a little easier to buy the One Plus One making Tuesday’s open purchase day no invite required.

Bottom Line
If you’re looking for the perfect smartphone you’re likely going to be looking for a very long time. The fact of the matter is, there is no perfect phone but there are criteria you might be looking for in a phone that one or both of these would fit in to. Apple continues to remain strong and sold many more iPhones this year than before. The One Plus One is new to the game but its price point, half the cost of the iPhone 6 Plus, is very attractive. One thing that could be hurting One Plus is its current invitation only system, you cannot purchase this phone without being invited to do so. Perhaps this is in place because they don’t have the capacity to mass produce and maybe we’ll see this change in the near future as they grow.
Both phones are really amazing for what they are. If you’re looking for a phone that has great specs, great design and is $349 off contract with 64GB of storage, then the One Plus One is a solid choice. If you’re looking for a little more polish in software and especially integration with Apple products, then the iPhone 6 Plus is a solid choice. Even for those Android users looking to find a replacement for their Samsung and HTC might consider the One Plus One, although One Plus doesn’t make it easy to do that. Right now I am very pleased with both these phones and I use them both equally for various tasks.
