I honestly think the onePlusThree is a pretty good improvement over the OnePlusOne. Owning a OPO myself the build quality of the OPT is a lot better to bad it has pentile.

What I really dislike is the price hike 300/OP1 > 350/OP2 > 400/OP3. That's a 25% price increase! For a bit more you can have a lot better options. 300 is the sweet point for me personally.

Does anybody have screencaps of the nexus 5 shittings 3 years ago?
e.g. hurrdurr no removeable battery, no sd, microsim, bad antenna, no amoled, bad battery life

>>57096119
i have a OPO and am on the fence about the OPT or the Pixel

>>57096351
there's another OnePlus phone coming out soon.


it's confirmed, but how soon idk. it's rumored to have sd821, meme QHD amoled screen and 6 ir 8gb of ram...

dunno it'll have microsd this time. all I'm seeing it might be called OnePlus 3 plus. which sounds really stupid.

>>57094039
3 is good though. Oneplus is the new Nexus.

>>57097276
No SD card slot and the Pentile screen kinda break the deal though. I'd say Honor is more reliable as a brand because of better quality control due to being a daughter company of Huawei.

>>57097537
Valid complaints, but nothing I can't deal with. Phones are all about the software today, and that's where OP3 shines.

OP3 owner here. I've had mine for 2 months and I've been very pleased.

wtf is pentile?

>>57094174
if you've followed the sentences from oneplus then you'd know that they first wanted to build up reputation and then climb in prices

they never said they want the most affordable flagship

pattern of subpixel-arrangement.

LCD have and early AMOLED-screens had RGB-subpixels for each pixel.

Pentile AMOLEDs have RGBG-subpixels for every _two_ pixels.

Only due to high pixel-densitiy Pentile doesn't look like complete shit.

I've been using my original OPO for about two years now and I honestly don't have any reason to get a new phone.

One Plus needs to step up their game if they want another real flagship killer.

Owner since release. My 2 gripes are

>camera bump
>"3D" screen, so the palm of my thumb is registering touches when im trying to use it with one hand

Both issues are fixed with a case, but it's silly relying on that if you're designing aesthetics.

>>57098517
>Is now a good time to buy OP3
No. The only good time to buy One Plus phones is right after the release.

>How much do their new releases lower in price over time?
Hardly at all.
They usually get a small pricecut after a new phone gets released but it's really not a lot.

Like, the OPO was still over 200 bucks last time I checked.

honestly the only /real/ problem is pentile

As for the Samsung S7, lol.

Doesn't Samsung also use Pentile for their shit? It is a samsung thing, right?

>>57097209
They name their phones the stupidest things. How the hell do you expect to attract new customers if all of your products sound exactly the same?

>>57098735
Axon 7 seems a bit nicer than the OP3, for the same price point.

Has the added benefit of working on more networks in the US.

OP3 owner and I also love it. Just cannot find a fault with it.

>>57097854
I am aware of this anon, but tell me. Why the F*CK would I spend a fortune on some shitty chinese phone? They are just a puppet of OPPO. If they go all DURRR apple prices bst! Watch how fast they loose all their customers... Perhaps the price IS what attracted people in the first place to the phone.

>>57098763
They do so now and then, i remember the Galaxy S3 having it but the Note 2 ( which i had ) ,didn't. Doesn't mean jack though, it's just a design choice made by the company.

Does it change the Pentile-subpixel-arrangement? No? Then fuck off.

>>57094099
It honestly feels like they went with the shape just because it wasn't a circle like Apple's. On one hand I'd say it's stupid to make design decisions on the basis of just being different.

On the other hand for all I know Apple has copyrighted circle home button design.

>>57100652
What's with this whining about pentile meme?

>>57100652
Okay, you convinced me, the people who have run actual scientific tests doesn't know what they're talking about, I should listen to a shitposter on /g/ to tell me what the display on the phone I'm holding in my hand looks like

>>57100652
How does this even work with a rectangular grid of pixels? Does this arrangement essentially mean that some pixels can't be blue, and some can't be red?

>>57100652
...you do know that the Galaxy S7, the phone that's widely regarded to have the best screen is Pentile, right?

>>57100733

True, but there isn't much to change.
Pic related is the last phone with an original design. I'm curious to see what else they've got up their sleeves and I hope there will be a continuation to this phone (even if the first model didn't sell to well).

>>57100324
With ''it doesn't mean jack though'' i was talking about the companies.

The pentile display was the reason, i chose the Honor 8 instead. That and not having a MicroSD slot.

Can someone with pentile display have a look at this picture at full resolution without scaling and describe what he sees?

>>57100733
Amoled is actually more of a strain to the eyes and suppossedly loses colour accuracy over time.

I prefer high end IPS displays, they have great blacks ( almost Amoled like ) and generally have more realistic colours as well as more reliability.

>>57100324
Top looks better, holy shit that white in the bottom picture is awful.

I think I might be buying it though

>wait for the LCD version
kek

>>57101712
Because it does not work with pixel grid. With pentile some pixels can't be red, some can't be blue. It looks like shit and no amount of scientific tests measuring some useless metrics will change that.

>64gb Nexus 6p 409€
>64gb OP3 399€

Current phone is nexus 4 which should I get and why?

>>57101886
If you prefer the camera go for Nexus 6P, otherwise go for Oneplus 3.

>>57101953
What about customer service and warranty?

>>57101963
I've had the OnePlus 2 and had zero problems with warranty and customer service. Although, if you want to compare both of them, you should go for the Nexus if you edge more on the *feel safe* - side.

What other criteria's do you have?

>>57101832
So what you're saying is though all the metrics about screen resolution and color gamut and shit all say it's good, the actual look is trash?

>>57098518
I still think this was the best design overall too. Size was perfect.

Here's what would need to be fixed however.

>Increase battery capacity (make it thicker I don't care, it was thin anyway)
>More efficient chipset
>AMOLED with system wide dark mode for muh battery
>MicroSD
>Base storage 32gb

AMOLED isn't a big deal in all honesty, the LCD on that phone was good for what I do anyway. I loved the feel of that phone, kinda wish I still had one.

>>57101992
I want a fast reliable phone that I can use for years that won't degrade over time. Possibly with a decent screen (2k not mandatory), good UI (they are very similar in that regard) , good audio quality through headphones would be a plus, good battery life

>>57100949
Don't forget, AMOLEDs have PWM brightness control which fuck with your eyes, especially if used for VR.

>>57102030
Budget?

>>57102065
I prefer to stay in the 400 450€ range but if you have another suggestion feel free to suggest. I am basically torn between the 6p, OP3 and the s7
I have had really good experience with my nexus 4 (which still works and performs good except shitty battery and camera) so I am leaning more towards 6p or OP3

>>57100508
Fine for me living in the burbs. I commute up to school where it is also fine.

>>57094039
OP2 is the only phone OP has really dropped the ball on. Pretty much every reviewer has found OPO, OPX, and OP3 very good for the price.

>>57101712
>>57101832
>>57101998
Pentile is fine as long as the resolution is high enough.
A 1440p pentile display has the same amount of subpixels per inch as a 1080p RGB display.

Oneplus fucked up because they went with a 1080p pentile display, which is equal in subpixel count to a regular 720p display.
Which, at 5.5 inches, looks pretty bad.

>>57101998
>all the metrics
Not all.

>>57102221
>A 1440p pentile display has the same amount of subpixels per inch as a 1080p RGB display.
Do you honestly not see that as a negative? No only it fucks up pixel grid it distorts perception of screen resolution.

if the 6p had a 820 or an 805 I'd say 100% get the 6p. But with that 810 I don't know if I can recommend it.
