coming from HTC One M8

I was very much looking forward to this phone and received it couple of days ago.
I've been.using HTC One M8 for the last month or so and was intrigued by oppo design and that brilliant notification light so I thought I'd take the plunge.

Here is my initial impression.


Pros
Camera quality better
Bigger screen and less real estate wasted
Better notification light
Speakers impressive and very loud possibly louder then M8!
Theme customisation

Cons
UI half baked
Sluggish
Capacitive buttons invisible barely noticeable
Not bright enough
Camera software minimal not enough features
No development support


Overall interesting phone but software lets it down. Potential is there and awaiting custom roms, CM, Miui etc which can unlock the potential of this phone. However I have my fears it might not happen.
I prefer HTC One M8 it's more complete, polished phone hardware and software wise and that's reflected in the price. Is it worth the extra 180 hmm no.

You do realize that most - if not all - of your cons comes from the OS itself.
There is almost a final and stable OmniRom around the corner, and then all other devs can use that device and kernel tree. Also please note that the Find7a has been delivered to devs just three weeks ago (much later than the M8's availability)... I suggest you wait just two weeks and see how much better the custom ROM situation is than with the M8.
