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.

Wow, I am surprised that you guys reviewed this. Thank you.leexgx - Saturday, November 22, 2014 - link
not read the review yet but one note for EU buyers who want 4G it lacks band 20 4G800 support so it may not work on some networks in the EU (like UK O2, part support for EE and 3 due to some masts using 4G800), they need to make a revision EU model that supports the band 20MantasPakenas - Monday, November 24, 2014 - link
I'm surprised they didn't review some other great phones that are actually for sale. E.g. Sony Xperia Z3 (including the compact version)...paulstraker6 - Tuesday, November 25, 2014 - link

The OnePlus One will never rank among the top phones (see rankings such as http://www.topreport.org/phones/).paulstraker6 - Tuesday, November 25, 2014 - link

Great battery, but too big. 5.25" should do it.Ortanon - Wednesday, November 19, 2014 - link
Size problems aren't just a screen thing: http://tabtec.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/LG-G3...tipoo - Wednesday, November 19, 2014 - link
Yeah, but it couldn't have accommodated such a large battery with a smaller one. It's bezels are also a bit larger than some phones with the same or larger screen size, but same thing there, it's for the battery, no space is wasted.dragosmp - Wednesday, November 19, 2014 - link
They could make it thicker :)
