Can't compare the base model of a phone to the max storage model of another.

16 GB for $349 versus 16 GB for $299 is a pretty fair comparison, IMO.

Nexus 5 camera leaves a lot to be desired. On paper the OnePlus is better in the camera department.

Sorry the updates have fixed the N5 camera that is dead even with the new Samsung G5 that is dead even with the i5s in other articles.

Sounds like very good pricing, but we'll have to see if the phone is actually good enough. Don't think this will be a better value than the Nexus 5 or Moto G, but it can still be a great deal.
That's a fair point. What does the OnePlus One need to do in order for it to become a better value than the Nexus 5 or the Moto G?
Be a better all-around phone than the Nexus 5. Camera and speakers shouldn't be too hard to beat, and neither is the battery.
Well, if the OnePlus One doesn't have a better camera, speaker, and battery than the Nexus 5, then the company really needs to go back to the drawing board. No one wants to buy a brand new phone that doesn't keep up with an existing phone that's been on the market for almost 6 months.
And the Nexus is also a great feeling phone, that has tons of support from both official and dev community. The last few I mentioned are going to be hard to beat at this price point considering they don't have the money to subsidize like Google does.
Isn't the feel of the Nexus 5 versus the OnePlus One a purely subjective matter? Once you hold either one in your hand, you either like it or you don't, right? I suppose you could always change the back of the OnePlus One to wood, carbon fiber, or denim to make it feel better. The Nexus 5 doesn't have that option.
As for support, the OnePlus One is an official CyanogenMod phone, so it has that.
I don't think OnePlus really needs a subsidy as long as they sell every phone they make. That's the impression I get from their crazy invite system. However, if they make too many phones that don't sell, then they'll be in trouble.
That is true, but I think most people will still prefer the smaller size of the phone.
I keep hearing that people prefer smaller phones, yet companies keep cranking out bigger and bigger devices. It's not just OnePlus, either. LG, Samsung, Sony, and HTC do the same thing. Perhaps they know something that we don't.
I was never a fan of CyanogenMod, but I haven't seen or used their official phones. Might be better than the ROMs they make for other devices, but doubt they'll have as much support/fast updates as the Nexus
The Nexus 5 is about the same size as the S4/G2/M7 and only slightly smaller than the S5/M8. The OnePlus is significantly larger.
Well, we know that OnePlus really depends on sales to just survive. I don't think they'd release their only product at a size that's unpopular.
It is unpopular in comparison to smaller phones. The S line sells far more than the Note line, and that's just Samsung. Other phablets aren't nearly as successful.

If only it wasn't so large.
Seriously...I'm all for choice, but when companies launch phones in these sizes it makes me wonder what their intentions are.
Not if the S line was also $300. Since the Nexus 5 is at a comparable price, I imagine a lot of people will gladly pay a little more to get a device that they can use well with one hand. I know I would.But the aggressive price point will overcome any size issue. If the Note line was $300 less than the S line a lot more Notes would sell.
