I'm not sure how do you define "sharp". Your images are HUGE, but still fuzzy and low quality. It's really hard to tell. The only thing definitive is that the Iphone has smaller (and nicer) font, but font type and size doesn't equate to "sharpness".

I'm not sure how bright you need the screen to be... When I max out my OPO's screen, it's like bright like a fluorescent light bulb. I usually keep my screen at around 10% brightness indoors. At this point, I'm not sure if you're comparing practical brightness or just peak brightness for benchmark purposes.



Reading your list, you definitely got a faulty OnePlus One.

Spoiler!

You can change the capacitive button brightness in the settings. Although at 100%, they are still dim. Maybe a bit of trouble in the sun, but indoors, it's perfectly bright enough. But I believe capacitive buttons are meant to be used by memorization, not by touch. It's not an iPhone or Galaxy where you can rely on the feel of the center physical button.

- yellow/brown tint at the bottom of screen

Faulty phone. I understand, and error is still an error by OnePlus, but it's not permanent with a lot of solutions posted online.

- screen is unresponsive sometimes have to repeat same motion twice or three times

Although I admit at times, I have to do the same motion multiple times, I realize it's because certain actions aren't very forgiving. Such as double tapping the taskbar to sleep is not that forgiving. You have to be quite accurate where you tap. When you double tap to sleep, there's a slight "cooldown" period before you can double tap again to wake up the screen. Might not apply to you, but I use this feature and that's what I have noticed.

- the color of the display is not true. not as White and sharp as the 6+'

The display on the iPhone is definitely more "white" as shown in the image, and the OPO does look a bit darker. But you have to remember that RS's background is not actually white. That iPhone image is displaying a more white than RS's actual background colour. Perhaps you have to factor in that maybe iPhone is extremely white, make it not that true either. But this is also assuming the screen brightness are at the correct settings, as it's shades of colours will vary depending on screen brightness.

- sleep/wake button is unresponsive at times, 75% of times it works on one click, other times have to press two times with force

The actual buttons are perfectly fine for me. Never had an issue that required multiple presses.

- Camera is not as good as advertised. noise and color is worse than 6+. the focus is so slow and always blurry for some reason.

Camera is decent... Most reviews I read said you need to play around with settings so it's not as auto-pilot, out of the box as an iPhone. But I will admit iOS has one of the best and fastest (shutter) cameras out there.

- battery is okay; can easily standby 30+ hours with 6-8 hrs screen on time

You said the battery is about as good as the iPhone6 Plus. Is there a phone out there with even better battery life that is the same size? I'm not exactly sure what you would consider impressive. And once again, practical wise, no one in this day and age wouldn't be able to get their phone to a charger within 24 hrs.

At the time of release, Flagship Killer was true compared to the M8, G3, and obviously the flagships of 2013. etc. Newer phones like the Note4 and iPhone6 Plus will have an edge in the specs. TBH, It's kind of common sense that "flagship killer" was a bold statement coming from a new brand trying to seek attention, not a literal fact that was expected to be applicable forever.
