Pros: - Back cover still feels just the way it was when I unboxed it, just my hands are used to it. - Phone barely gets hot. I've never had it "hot" unless I'm benchmarking like crazy for a long period of time. It does get warm when I'm spending quite some time in CoC - NAND memory in this thing is pretty damn fast - Panel is 63hz which partially explains why it feels smoother than my Nexus 4. I think less motion blur also explains it. Laptop monitor is OCed to 80hz and it's just so much better than 60hz (when looking for how smooth it is, same for games) - Camera w/ clear image on can take some seriously nice shots with the less noise than even an iPhone 6. - Speakers are pretty damn loud and good (I'm not an audiophile) - Battery life still amazing - Charges in 90 maybe less minutes from 0 to 100. Takes a bit longer if using the phone (Obviously) - Front facing camera is pretty good. So, SO much better (I cannot express how much better it is than the Nexus 4). - Phone itself is pretty smooth without a custom kernel. Using a custom kernel hotplugged this phone as a dual core (1 core @ idle). Min freq: 1497mhz makes this phone fly, scrolling frame drops are nearly gone, all gone (With the exception of during the time the play store loads) would need the min freq @ 1728mhz. Max freq. is 2265mhz (I really don't need much CPU power here). - Screen can get pretty dim. Cons: - Rear camera's dynamic range isn't good (or isn't on par w/ the iPhones). - Slow motion video @ 720p is NOT 720p. Or there's something iffy going on here with it, zooming pixelates the video where as when not zoomed in, just looks like 720p, albeit darker. My theory is that it's capturing 1280x720 res photos 120 times at a 1/120 shutter speed and has the bitrate down to where the NAND can write as fast as it, or something, not entirely sure how it all works. In summary, zooming into the 720p slow mo visually degrades the video further, but in regular speed, even QCIF, it doesn't degrade. Like, at 1x regular zoom, it'll look like QCIF, zoomed in, it still looks like QCIF, not any worse, not any better) - Front facing camera set the shutter speed ridiculously low once, cannot replicate it again but it went as long as 1/5 making any hand movement such a significant blur. - Stock CM torch doesn't use the LED flash at it's brightest potential (Friend complained about it, we compared each other's OnePlus One's, mine was brighter as I was on Lollipop using the built in flashlight. He later downloaded a third party flash light app and it was brighter.) - CM11S had bugs to which I considered unstable. (Not letting my phone wake, requiring hard reboot. All stock, so switched to custom roms/kernels. 38R was last time I used it, not going back) - I have no idea how to change thermal throttling configurations. Kernels have this option to change the temp, used synapse, set it at my desired temp and the phone would still throttle @ 70 degrees C on the SoC temp). - No video autofocus, wtf man. (Caused because of too much focus hunting according to CM/Oneplus). - Focusing in macro has slightly more potential to get closer, but it just doesn't wanna do it. (Found out when I accidentally pressed video than picture, it refocused and suddenly the objects closer to the camera were in focus, was testing with brick. Not a big deal though) - No IPXX rating.

Phone batch was Aug. 19 2014. received sometime in august lol. Most of those cons can be fixed with software. Some cons are just being picky as hell. But what you get on this phone for $349, is just awesome.
