CPU Performance
As SoC performance is still crucial for a good experience, there continues to be a need for good benchmarks of overall system performance, along with targeted benchmarks to better understand each aspect of the SoC. For the most part the Snapdragon 801 is a known quantity at this point, but it's worth going over again just to make sure that performance is as expected. In order to test this, we use a suite of browser benchmarks and Basemark OS II to get overall performance.
As one can see, the OnePlus One scores quite similarly to everything else on the market. This isn't really a surprise, as pretty much everyone is using the same SoC at this point.
Cheating
While for the most part we've seen an end to cheating in benchmarks, there are still a few remaining OEMs that seem to insist on continuing this behavior. Unfortunately, it seems that OnePlus is one of these OEMs. However it seems that this is limited to Antutu, which sees the rather simplistic behavior of hotplugging all cores at maximum frequency when the application is launched.

That last part wouldn't make sense either, the M8 and 6 Plus have longer battery life during the test too.tipoo - Wednesday, November 19, 2014 - link
Oh yeah, and I'm pleasantly surprised this phone is getting a review at all, having much less mass consumer knowledge than some others despite a strong enthusiast following (yay, us!).JoshHo - Wednesday, November 19, 2014 - link
Compared to S801 devices the OnePlus One throttles relatively little.tipoo - Wednesday, November 19, 2014 - link
Ah, thanks for explaining. Any idea why this is? Just a big chassis, or the heat spreader on it, or software?jjj - Wednesday, November 19, 2014 - link
You need to at least specify what NAND the iphone you tested are using,All the iphone 6 and 6 plus numbers are compromised by Apple's usage of both MLC and TLC. You got major NAND perf and RAM usage differences and that should impact pretty much all the numbers.

thanks for the review :) that mentioned, would a comparison with the Oppo Find 7 yield a similar review conclusion? being a user of the Find 7, i would be interested to hear your 2 cents' worth on it as well.jjj - Wednesday, November 19, 2014 - link
"the first to kill the concept of a 650 USD"Hilariously how little you know and understand the market.

Go on? If you're thinking subsidized prices, you're still paying for that one way or another. The cost of the phone is included in the bill. Besides that, most carriers will take some percent off your bill if you bring your own phone. And besides *that*, some carriers just have plain crappy phones.tipoo - Wednesday, November 19, 2014 - link
Also for someone like me, I like having a smartphone, but since I'm in a wifi zone for so much of my life I don't bother paying for data. Bill is so much cheaper.Flunk - Wednesday, November 19, 2014 - link
That's funny, I thought I bought a Nexus 5 for $350 without carrier of any kind last year.
