OnePlus "welcomes" Samsung's Galaxy Note 4 by giving away a 64 GB OnePlus One
Probably feeling left out following all the new announcements from IFA 2014, OnePlus decided to give away a 64 GB OnePlus One smartphone in order to “welcome the launch" of Samsung’s Galaxy Note 4. That's literally what the Chinese company posted earlier today on Facebook: it's welcoming the new Note. OnePlus is also giving away 100 invites to buy the One - because its recently-announced pre-order system won't be available before October.
To enter OnePlus' contest you must share a Facebook post which compares the OnePlus One to the Galaxy Note 4. Honestly, we think OnePlus may be aiming too high with this comparison. Don’t get us wrong: the One is a great smartphone for its price (as our review of it is concluding), but the Note 4 simply packs more advanced features - including a 5.7-inch Super AMOLED display with 1440 x 2560 pixels (Quad HD). Even so, if you do want to win a 64 GB OnePlus One, all the details you need are available at the source link found at the the end of this article.
This isn’t the first time when OnePlus pits its One against a Samsung flagship. Back in April, the company compared its handset to the Galaxy S5, despite the fact that the One hadn’t been officially announced at the time.
Here's a more detailed comparison between the specs of the One Plus One and Galaxy Note 4 (with the mention that the Note 4 also has a quad-core Snapdragon 805 version, in addition to the octa-core Exynos one listed below):
