Fuck off pajeet

>>60993373

What the fuck, I'm actually getting sold on the BlackBerry KEYOne

Any users here? Have any experience? Pros and cons? Annoyances? Surprises?

The phone just looks like a good old boy doing his best to me

>>60993390
Yes

>>60993364
Thinking about the same thing.
The mi6 is cheaper, and seems better in every way other than the screen size and headphone jack.
I think it'll get even cheaper this month, since the phone should start shipping globally soon.

I hear people praising the OP5 and people bashing it.

I don't know who to trust. I just want a good phone. One that's preferably better than OP3T

>>60993467
the OP5 is marginally better than the OP3T. see the price point

>>60993438
The screen falls off if you look at it

Android fags are BTFO once again. Another Android OEM taking the jewish path, flagship killer my ass.

>design is boring
>fuckhuge bezels
>screen has low resolution for today's standards
>rear cameras don't have OIS
>no IP certification

>no SD card slot
>smaller battery capacity than OP3T
>$479/€499 for the 6GB RAM 64GB memory
>$539/€559 for the 8GB RAM 128GB memory

I'm so deeply disappointed /g/. It's not bad, but it feels mediocre compared to other flagships: on my national Amazon I was able to find the 64GB Galaxy S8 at €579 and the 32GB LG G6 at €469 (which can both accept microSD cards).

>>60993504
>>60993467

>2017
>1080p 5.5" screen

The price of the OP5 is waaay to much for those specs and build quality. It looks like a phone from 2014 with those bezels minus the dual camera. Nothing special. OP are too mainstream now to go back either.

Samsung s8 for $430 dollars with a phone trade in or OnePlus 5 for the 64gb model?? I need an upgrade

>>60993544
£510 for the basic version on O2 in the UK. What a disappointment this turned out to be. Too expensive for what is now a shit iphone clone :l

S8 still has the Touchwiz lag and no headphone jack

>Never settle
unless you want to buy accessories

OP hasn't had the Dash car charger for months. Also the longest cable they sell is 150cm. If you get a third party USB cable, you don't get Dash charging.

>>60993563
Oneplus 5. S8 is great hardware ruined by shitty software.

>>60993563
The s8 of course, use your brain, it's better in all the important ways and cheaper

>>60993563

Pass on the OnePlus 5, really not worth it, S8, LG G6 (inb4 bootloop) or wait for next Pixel.

>>60993565
Blame Brexit for that

>>60993584
Why would you not just go for iPhone 6S over the SE?

>>60993594
LG G6 is also selling for around the same price as OP5 on Ebay.

>>60993584
>not pretending that Linux is useful
please do the needful and delet

US here. The whole house is transferring to T-Mobile and we're all getting new phones. Using an iPhone 6 now, there really isn't anything I wish it did that it doesn't. Just more storage space, and an even better camera would be nice too.

I'm not attached to iOS at all, however I'm concerned about Apple's shitty iMessage transferring fiasco, which they haven't fixed yet as far as I know. On the other hand, I really don't want to give up an audio jack

All in all I'm looking for
-T-Mobile
-fast
-not too big
-good camera
-headphone jack

The KEYOne caught my eye but T-Mobile doesn't offer it, unfortunately. If all else fails I'm just going to go with an iPhone 6S. What do, /g/?

How long will we have to wait before we can flash TWRP and Root the Oneplus 5?

>>60993585
>S8 still has the Touchwiz lag
Old meme, but yeah, I wouldn't get another Samsung too.
>no headphone jack
You're wrong, but it doesn't matter S8 is shit for other reasons.

OP5 price will surely decrease in time right? For 500 bucks xiaomeme 6 and even s7 are better

first time i'm on the hype train for a phone, this can only end in tears

S8 is almost twice as expensive as OP5. Redpill me on what would justify buying an S8 instead of OP5?

You must be retarded. Android is far better than iOS.

>chinese backdoors

>>60993671
wait for the op5 limited edition 1 month before they release the op6

>>60993671
The price won't decrease but I disagree that the S7 is better. My brother has it and it's very laggy after only 4 months. Even swiping from one app page to the next is clunky

>>60993693
Because the S8 isn't more expensive right now if you're in the U.S. $100off for ~$650 then $200 with a trade in for ~$450

burgerlord here

was hyped for OP5 but I see everybody bashing it. Are they bashing it whilst taking into account the price? It is still significantly cheaper than any other high end phone, isn't it?

If I'm looking for a GOOD phone without going anywhere near 1k, what are my options?

>>60993629
T-Mobile has a BOGO deal for LG G6, V20 and S8/S8+

>>60993283

What has OnePlus got if it hasnt got its low price?

Okay so what's the word on google fi and the Nexus 5x. Is this a good phone or should I just go straight to the 6p. I don't want to buy the pixel. Don't get me wrong it's an awesome phone but I just don't have the money.

Is google fi a great plan?

>>60993750
When you compared it to the 3T such a price hike is not warranted.

Alright guys, you've convinced me. Where do I get an early access code if I missed the stream?

>>60993774
I've had the OP3 since it came out and have never had ANY problems with it

a big reason why I got it is because it had comparable specs to the current flagship phones for roughly half the price, and it didn't come loaded with bloatware.

Assuming somebody will never have any damage or software issue with their phone and need to contact support, is OP still the best bang for my buck?

>>60993603
Whats it like writing for the guardian?

>>60993584

No srsly who thought that was a good idea?

>>60993719
I will definitely root and install lineageos instead of using the piece of shit touchjizz is

>>60993831
Are you new or something?
No Oneplus phone has ever had removable backs or expandable storage.
You can get it in 128gb if you're that worried about space.

the s8 would be perfect if it didn't have that disgusting curved screen

>>60993852
I ordered it and don't regret it so far, looking at the reviews. Then again, I've had a Oneplus One since launch. Your mileage may vary.

>>60993544
Yeah its dissapointing that it looks identical to an iphone.

I don't really get the bezel complaint, you need room at the bottom for buttons and a fingerprint reader (if you have it at the front) and you need some kind of bezel at the top for front camera and it looks more aesthetic if they are a similar size rather than completely different.

The IP certification is annoying but id rather have a headphone jack, and they could have put a removable battery but the dash charge does make up for it somewhat.

SD card is a bit redundant with 64gb/128gb options really.

And you can't complain about screen on time and battery and resolution, its a compromise between them and IMO leaning towards a worse screen to get a better battery life is pretty shit.

I feel like this is an incredibly good phone if i am honest and personally fits all the requirements of an android user.

>>60993805
Can't attest to 5x, but I currently have fi+6P. Works fine for me, pricing is good ($20 for unlimited text/voice and $10/GB used), and coverage is really good too (because it uses both Sprint and T-Mobile towers). The only reason for why it might not be a good deal to some people is if you constantly are away from Wi-Fi and need to use a fuckton of data.

>>60993798
i did have a bootloop but that was my fault for running a beta version of nougat

i'm pretty happy with it though, sorry that it failed you anon

Patiently waiting for the Essential Phone to launch so I can decide if I'm getting a new phone soon or just waiting until Pixel 2.

>>60993805
Both the Nexus 5X and 6P have bootloop issues

>>60993774
My brother doesn't care enough to learn how to flash a custom rom, and shouldn't need to for a phone that was $700ish not too long ago. Your second point kinda goes against what you said about Samsung. What does a lack of support matter when you can just flash a custom rom

OP5 = poor autiststic S8 clone

>>60993860
Be prepared for a downgrade in camera quality, Samsung's camera code is proprietary so custom ROMs cannot use it.

>>60993825
meh, i had the early shutdown issue (happened last february), google sent me a brand new nexus 6P, i confirmed that it worked, and then sent them my old one. No problems since. My friend encountered this issue twice (first time last september, second time a month ago), and google sent him a brand new phone twice.

>>60993869
No, but I expected it to at least put that in the list of improvements. It is ridiculous that phones don't have an extendable micro sd storage these days.

>>60993890
same boat, brother.

>>60993882
I had the OPO since launch, recently the back cover broke though, and the goldplate antenna is interrupted. Can't buy those swapcover things anymore, anywhere; so I really need a new phone..

I'm all for the most features possible, don't get me wrong, but there's no perfect phone. I don't put too much value on Micro SD, but if you do, that's fine, just don't get it. There's plenty of other phones.

Sony Xperia XZ Premium sounds good for you, or an S8.

>>60994096
>>60994097

are there any games that requires adreno 540?

>>60994090
S8+ and i7+
i get compliments on both, mostly the S8 tho

did I watch the same stream as everyone else.
For $500 you get:

>lightweight OS
>sensible screen resolution,
>fingerprint reader (on the best position)
>huge RAM
>huge storage
>kindle mode for reading
>superfast charging
>headphone jack
>dual sim
>worldwide use

I mean fuck, its not a budget phone, but it seems ideal for so so many people, including myself.
Its a shame the design is so lame and that it doesn't have waterproof, but those things aren't the end of the world.

Jesus christ, what do people want from the freaking phone for $480? I get the design thing but saying the specs do not match the price is absurd.

I asked a few days ago (since I know jackshit about smartphones) about a new phone to replace my Galaxy S3 and people told me to wait for the OP5 reveal. In the end, with a budget of 500-600€, what should I buy between a S8 and an OP5?

>>60994151

Add to that the larger bezels, the smaller battery, no OIS on rear cameras, lack of water resistance and still no expandable storage. The price bump to near flagship level is odd and merely taking advantage of the success and good press of the 3 and 3T

>>60994237

Read the xda page on how the demo units are modified to perform better than retails

So why are you guys memeing that the OP5 has a shit camera?
If anything that's like the one feature that's really good on the damn thing. It's been their main advertising point since day 1.

Stop pretending that the OP5 camera sucks because you paid $900 for an S8+ with a similar camera.

Since the OP5 is utter trash, what other good options (LTE B20 is a must) are there?
Should I just wait on another SGS7 sale for sub 350€ or just get a S8 when they are sold for less than 570€ (again)? OP5 would have been ok for me for like ~480€ (with 128GB since no µSD), but 570€? Hell nah.

I really wanted to retire my 4,5 year old SGS4, but with removable battery, 128GB µSD and Android 7 CFW it just doesn't want to die.

>>60994275
That's the fucking thing. The amount of promotion and hype and the end product is lacklustre in comparison. Go watch a bunch of reviews.

LG G6 or a OP3T

>>60994214
I'm with you man, people on this website just like to shit on anything that they don't own or don't plan to buy, god knows why, all the review are saying that the camera is comparable with other flagships, but no... people here know better somehow despite the phone being released a few hours ago...

>Full HD is now "low resolution"
>bezel size from a year ago "huge bezels"
>128gb internal memory is "shit storage, no SD"
>dual 16 and 20MP camera is "shit photos"

If the design is that much of a dealbreaker then don't buy it, likewise the waterproofing which are the only 2 fair criticisms. But in every other way it is a great phone for 2017.

>>60994297
They're not even fake review units dumbshit. Read the article.
The OP5 amps up the power for benchmarking and other apps.

Also, fun little tip, they did the EXACT same thing with the OP3/T, and it got reviewed as one of the best smartphones of the year anyways.

>>60994353
LG G6 doesn't seem to have come down in price that much in Europe compared to the US which is annoying.

>>60994315
The reviews mostly seem to just lament that it doesn't really do anything new and that the design is uninspired. It still has its perks though, the performance is smooth, clean Android. The price hike is pretty steep for basically just a better camera though

>>60994380
Still cheaper than the competition for a phone that won't be obsolete in three months.

>>60994377
It's available for sub-500€ in some Euro countries which is a good price IMO considering how much taxes we pay on everything

>>60993544
OP had one good phone, the OPO. OP2 was meh due to SD810 throttlefest, OP3/T is complete shit and OP5 continues the shit show. OP need to fucking die.

>>60994356
I dont get the fuss about the screen resolution, my lg g4 has a high res screen and all it does is drain battery I gain nothing from it (god I hate this fucking g4).

Objective tier list:

The OP5 is shaping up to fit right between the OPO and OP3T, maybe underneath the 3T if it's that bad.

>>60994292
Of all these concepts, they decided to copy Apple..

>>60994402
Yeah I mean it's still a pretty good value. An 80 euro price hike is just pretty heavy. They improved one of the two things I miss in my 3T, the camera. Water resistance is still missing, on the other hand I have never had issues with water over the nearly 20 years I've had a cell phone. Otherwise it performs great, I like the OS and the little notification slider, great build quality

>>60994501
and here I am on a note 4 with a 7500mah battery. I've dropped it atleast 100 times and the screen is still perfect

Butthurt op3t owners are beyond bitter that their shit phone they bought a month ago sucks in comparison to the newer oneplus iteration.

Are the OP5 bezels even actually thicker than 3T? I think it just looks like that because it's black whereas the 3T was silver so the edge doesn't stand out as much

This is the most fragile phone I've ever owned. My Nexus 6 before this held up for almost three years with no case. I wish the S8 had a metal back.

>>60994420
at least yours works,mine bootlooped so i refuse to give my money to LG for a while. Samsung software is abysmal, thx for bixby button, hate that company's philosophy.

What is a man to do for a good android experience?
I was tempted by the sony xz premium but it comes out to £150 minimum more than the OP5 and you have to draw the line somewhere.

>>60994552
Can't tell if bait or fanboy who can't handle the fact that the 5 is a disappointment

Is there an android app that shows the current my phone is charging at? Doesn't need to be accurate, just need to tell my 1A and 2.1A usb cables apart.

>>60994557
They've been compared side by side, the bezels are larger on the 5. The bezels make the phone looks as if it came out a couple of years ago.

>>60994603
genuinely curious but what was dissapointing? like what was the things you were expecting that it didn't deliver considering half of the specs and design were leaked ages ago.

>>60994609
So nothing that matters, then

No microSD and 1080p for £500 is fucking shocking, OnePlus is dead in the water.

So what's the best 1440p phone with expandable storage for a not retarded price? The G6?

>>60994620
>>60994557
OP5 is 73% screen-to-body ratio, OP3T is 73.1%. Not a huge difference.

If the OP5 is such shit, what's a better phone for $500?

I'm waiting

>>60994641
For most, the price hike is the biggest disappointment. Perhaps people could look past the issues with the 5 if OnePlus hadn't tried to capitalize on the success of the 3 and 3T.

The camera is an improvement but still has poor low light shots. The bezels are larger, lacks OIS on the rear cameras, smaller battery, still refuse to implement expandable storage to sell you a "premium option", no new features like water resistance of wireless charging, black option only available with the 128gb model, design is uninspired.

Basically for the price hike, people wanted more. In some benchmarks the 3T is also coming out on top.

I hate the new Play Store icon.

Damn, had to refresh some 200 times to get the 'Welcome Bundle' with rosewood cover

>>60994620
I genuinely don't see it. I slapped on those red lines stretching from the edge of the screen to the outline of the phone. The OP5 image is larger and the red line is still slimmer on that one. Out of all the things to criticize, this honestly seems like a really silly complaint. Samsung comes out with one phone and suddenly every other phone bezel is shit and archaic

>>60994656
>resolution, battery life, OIS and storage don't matter
Enjoy your shit phone then.

>>60994720
It has nothing to do with Samsungs designs. In 2017 phones should be gradually reducing bezels, even if its only a small amount each time

>>60994686
Probably, but I doubt you will notice a big difference in sharpness anyway. But it's a nice phone anyway

>>60994700
>So what's the best 1440p phone with expandable storage for a not retarded price? The G6?
just get the zte axon 7

midrange are just as good for the price now and SoC improvements are slowing down

when is oneplus going to release another budget phone? I'm tired of these $500 phones they're putting out now. I'm sure they're great but they're getting closer and closer to twice the price of the Oneplus One

Why is the fucking welcome bundle sold out?

>>60994750
Which OP seems to have done, since the OP3 bezels look to be thicker in my image. And I don't even mind them on mine. So it's like yeah it looks neat I guess, but that is hardly something I will even consider when getting a phone

>>60994798
For me, it appeared after refreshing a shitton of times. Then when it was in the shopping cart, it showed sold out again, and you have to refresh the shopping cart "a couple" times, and then be quick. Be sure to have your address typed in already... if you want to put up with this hassle, of course.

So now that op5 is disappointing, will the Essential come out on top?

Cracking phone with those spec and that price
I was literally entering in my paypal details when it just occured that they didn't say what resolution it'd be (if they did, they totally glossed over it).

>1080p
meh, maybe the 5T will be worthwhile. Should get a 3T in the meantime, oh wait, they killed that already...

>>60994882
Funny how it's not clear when I drew those lines. I can't really even tell where the screen ends in your picture, unless you're talking about the top and bottom

Just ordered the Redmi Note 4, thanks to the anon who recommended it.

What am I in for?

>>60994061
m8 I went from an S3 to a redmi note 3 pro and fuck mang there's no need for anything else
well except for the fact mine got damaged and I eventually just went for an equal-ish moto phone

Phones have plateaued, there's nothing else to really want out of a phone unless you're an idiot who for some reason wants to spend $1000 on a phone with an alright camera instead of spending ~$400 on a phone and ~$400 on a legit camera but w/e w/e

>>60994906
Sadly. I was on the fence about buying a 3T for quite a long time with them being a brand I'd never heard of and I decided to hold out for the 5 expecting it to be just as good.

I've had to put up with this shitty windows phone whilst I waited and now I don't know what the fuck to buy instead.

>>60994914
No, it's not just the launcher, it's the whole OS. Only way to get rid of it is by installing a Custom ROM.

>everything is already sold out

Do I have to wait one week until I can buy this shit phone now? Fuck how can you not have this shit in stock when they are just released? Do they not expect people to demand it?

Alright guys I'm on a really tight budget so help me out. I was waiting for the OP5, but honestly the value just doesn't seem to be there this time around, especially for the price. I've seen some G6s around for like $430, should I go for it?

>>60994954
But it is just as good

>>60994963
Sure.

>>60994932
Snapdragon version?

>>60994963
>really tight budget
just get a Moto G5+

>>60994954

The 3T is a brilliant phone dude, you cannot get better for the price and if you consider what Samsung or Apple are selling to be worth the 300 extra then you go with them.

S8. Or keep your phone and then get the next iphone.

>>60994341
Yeah that's a huawei rip off for sure.

In fact most of the prototypes look like slightly shitter versions of better designs

>>60993438
DAC is absolute garbage, use bluetooth headphones.

Only one speaker even though it has dual grills, it's quite powerful though.

No guarantee of software updates, Blackberry has a very low reputation of this coming from the Priv

No root or unlocked bootloader prevents the phone from living through after support is over.

Enter key is not IME Submit. So it won't work on many apps since it always tries to new line rather than submit a form or something in many cases.

Terrible one handed. Comfy when two handed.

Disable the Hub, it's bloated, heavy and desu fairly pointless in today's age of notification centers on iOS and Android

>>60995009
It's a way to force people to upgrade.

>>60994988
I was looking at it, but I'd need to upgrade a lot sooner and the display/build quality is no where near as good. I think the extra $130 is worth it.

>>60993629

Make sure it is snapdragon, if it is for gaming.
I am using the 3/32.
Wh40k freeblade and injustice 2 runs lag free where, some of the never phone had various problem with it. Why pay for more, if u can get it less. Oh and what i also like about it, that the case isn't plastic. It's some sort of metal maybe. So it weighs. But it's great because i could tell that is still in my pocket.
The finger scanner is in the best space ever.
If u don't like the UI, then use Nova launcher or any custom rom in case you get a bloated/webshop one and not a stock one.
And the 4100mAh is the greatest thing ever.

>>60995125
It's possible to get Best Buy to price match the Amazon Prime version of the Moto G5+, so $239.99 for the 4/64 version.

>playing gpu intensive games on a phone

if it's anything more demanding than angry birds you're an idiot.

>there will never be another cheapo phone that looks as sexy as the OPX ever again

How do the OP cum chuggers keep coming back for more again, and again? This is getting kinda ridiculous.

How many of you faggots destroyed your phone on camera for a chance to get a ticket to buy their 1st phone at full price?

What a shit company that needs to die already.

>>60995185
>what is Nokia 3, 5 and 6

>>60994954
I'd get a 3T, it has good battery life, performance and Lineage OS builds.
The OP5 price hike isn't justified compared to it.
As other anons have pointed, it doesn't have a sd slot and the screen is 1080p. I personally find 64GB enough and didn't really notice the loss in ppi coming from a S7.

>>60993883
>I don't really get the bezel complaint, you need room at the bottom for buttons and a fingerprint reader (if you have it at the front) and you need some kind of bezel at the top for front camera and it looks more aesthetic if they are a similar size rather than completely different.
I agree on that, but let's face it: smartphones are going to be all screen, and design wise bezels are surpassed

>The IP certification is annoying but id rather have a headphone jack, and they could have put a removable battery but the dash charge does make up for it somewhat.
Yeah, but the headphone jack isn't impossible to waterproof, it's just lazy engineering and corners cutting to keep it cheap to produce.

>SD card is a bit redundant with 64gb/128gb options really
I disagree, but this is my opinion. Still, removing a feature that still sees use nowadays is a bad design practice, just like the headphones jack.

>I feel like this is an incredibly good phone if i am honest and personally fits all the requirements of an android user.
It is, don't get me wrong, but "good" is not enough when your pricing places you among much better phones.

Honestly it seems like OnePlus started leveraging on his increasing fame, and capitalize on the initial philosophy that made the company famous: flagship-tier smartphones at half the price. Problem is, with the OP5 this isn't the case anymore: it's a step below a flagship, while retaining the current flagship pricing.

so since the OP5 sucks donkey dicks we're all gonna wait for the Nokia 9, right?

Currently have an OPO

Is it worth upgrading to the OP5?

>>60995183
But i love to destroy the enemies of the Imperium with a gigantic mech.
And IDOLM@STER Starlight Stage 3D dance is also running smoothly. The Injustice was tested out to piss of my classmates for calling my phone a "poor kid Iphone". It was fun they found out that my phone outdid their more expensive phones in performance. Yes, they love to even compare phones not just computer.

>>60995272
No, get a 3T.

Is the Nexus 5 still a good daily?

Sent from my Nexus 5 using the Clover App.

>>60995265
Apparently. That or the LG G6+

>>60995261

That was always their intention. There is barely any money to be made on rail thin margins. Huawei and Xiaomi have also done the exact same thing.

>>60995237
yeah but they killed 3T

>>60995265
Nah, iPhone for me. The android ratrace is too predictable now, so why not go for the actual king when the phones basically cost the same now.
*shrugs*

>>60995274
You should show your classmates the SoT you're getting with your "poor kid Iphone"

>>60995161
Yeah that's the one I've ordered. Not really into mobile gaming but that's good to know, the one thing I miss from my last Android is emulators.

Is there much to installing a custom rom? I'd like to get as close to stock Android as possible. I guess I could just use a launcher tho.

>>60995185
Xiaomi.
>>60995295
Yeah slowly, but surely their prices are also increasing.

>>60995261

lazy engineering is a bit much dude, and there is corner cutting and then theres adding a function that increases development costs when there is a newer technology to solve the problem.

The CDMA licensing was big enough to warrant Samsung developing their own SOC, but a headphone jack? fuck off.

Besides, OP5 has it because their user base wanted it. That warrented it's inclusion, but the whole point of the phone is to be the best mid-range android device possible, you don't get perfect, but you get good enough for the money.

>>60995261
As an OP3T user, I agree with your conclusion.
They passed the 400€ cap with the 3T(heck even the 3 iirc), and now the 5 passed the 500€ cap.
We're no longer in the "great price/performance ratio".

>>60995293

I'd get a 3T over G6, which is more expensive because it's LG, not because it's better (IIRC)

>>60995313
iTunes is an annoying piece of shit

>>60995335
If the alternative is a £700 Samsung/iphone, ofc it's still great price/performance.

>>60995348
I have a mac mini for dev purposes and it's nowhere near as bad as is on windows. So I'm good.
But they were supposed to announce a redesign this WWDC, never showed tf up.

>>60995295
>That was always their intention.
Everyone does that eventually. We just have to keep in mind that OP has jumped the shark.

>There is barely any money to be made on rail thin margins.
>tfw there will never be a smartphone producer that will keep making flagship-tier smartphones at half the price even when it gets famous

>>60995335
>We're no longer in the "great price/performance ratio".
EXACTLY THIS.

>>60995346
I said LG G6+
The plus version is expected to come with all the needed improvements, meaning the regular G6 will probably be even cheaper than the 3T, unless the 3T drops dramatically in price.

>>60995348
What do you need iTunes for anyways? In 2017 we use Apple Music, Spotify etc.

>>60995325
Well i am kind of adapting when it comes to this stuff. But if it's global rom, then a normal launcher is enough. But if it's some short of custom made rom with tons of extra app, the it is advisable to switch. The shop in my country sells global rom phones. So i hadn't this problem.
Nova launcher is the best i found. But well i got used to the MIUI interface. So i no longer use the Nova launcher (i normally used it on my other phones).

>>60995425
It is indeed the International version, so hopefully will be light on the bloat. Thanks for the info bud!

is zuk z2 the best manlet phone?

>>60995400

So it'll have a too big screen?

Nah, 5 inch's on a phone is all anyone needs. This giant screen business is bullshit. Give me 2k in 5.5 and I'll be happy.

>>60995467
Kind of tall anon with big hand so a phablet like the Xiaomi redmi Note 4 perfectly fits in my hand.

Reviewers seem to think OP5 is a good phone. Why are you guys so critical?

>>60994023
Go for X Compact.

>>60995450
iPhone SE

>>60995508
yeah, it's a good phone, just no longer a great deal

>>60995329
>you get good enough for the money
No, you don't. LG G6 and Galaxy S8, regardless you liking them or not, can be both found for a comparable price now. They're much better value for the money.
However if your basis for comparison is the iPhone, that is artificially kept at MSRP no matter what up until the release of the next model, then yes, the OP5 offers good value for the money.

>>60995508
They're actually mixed, with most agreeing that with the price hike you don't get enough new features or advancements to justify it

>>60995492

If you want a phablet then cool, but if you want a phone with bells and whistles you don't need a big thing.

If Sony were still capable of putting out a good device I'd have picked up one of their compacts ages ago.

>just paid for op5 + welcome bundle
>got receipt on mail
>the order displays as pending payment on the site

REEEEEEEE

What gives? Is the order placed or not? The money has been taken from my account.

>>60995261
>it's just lazy engineering and corners cutting to keep it cheap to produce

Yeah. If they crammed in more stuff, it would get more expensive. Which is what people are already complaining about

>>60995545

S8 is £690 ish still

If you're getting a dodgy as fuck one off amazon then good luck with that.

>>60995467
>So it'll have a too big screen?
No. As far as rumors go, dimensions will stay the same.

>>60995583
LG G6 is £550 at Argos. £40 difference. OnePlus have jumped the shark.

Oneplus 5 or Galaxy S8+?

>>60995559
I had similar experiences on kinguin. In an hour the money comes back to the account.

>>60995618

It's a £100 more expensive and for that 100 you get qhd and thats it, but if thats what you want and you think that 100 is worth it then buy it.

false equivalence is beneath you dude, step it up

>>60995631
huawei honor 9

How is the Mi5S vs Mi5?
Is the 5S made of metal or it's all plastic like the 5? I don't want the phone constantly overheating.

>>60994932
You're in for the pain of using MIUI and no stable LOS to replace it with. Chinked.

>>60995653
128gb is £510. LG G6 has qhd, expandable storage, narrow bezels, a much better camera with a wide angle lens and water resistance.

OnePlus is no longer value for money so close to flagships.

Are they retarded?
Why would you get this iphone 7 chink shit copy when you can get a g6 for much less or an iphone7/s8 for a bit more but you don't look like a chinkshit poorfag with one.
Literally no point in buying one.

>>60995653

You get bezel-less original design, you get optically stabilized cameras, you get IP certification, you get a screen that won't degrade over time, you get higher resolution, you get SD slot.

You're the one making false equivalences. Face it, One Plus isn't the best value for your money anymore.

Yeah, that makes a lot of fucking sense

Why are people here so obsessed with what other people will think about their phones? Are you 12?

>>60995738
Socialism, everyone.

>>60995774
The extra ram isn't necessary when both run almost identical. 6GB and 8GB of RAM isn't necessary or that beneficial for any phone currently.

At this point I'm convinced you're a fucking shill. You'd have to be a fucking idiot to pick the 5 over a G6 if you can get the G6 for the same price or cheaper

>>60995738
What the fuck when wrong? I still remember when Euro and bong dollars were 25~50% more valuable to the USD

Yo, I don't care at all for water resistance or QHD, I'm not a pro photographer so I just need a good camera to take pics of fun times. I don't need bezelless design, don't need to show off my phone to other people. I just want a nice phone to emulate vidya gaems, browse web and text friends. Is OP5 still a shit buy?

>>60995718
is the camera in the G6 actually that much better? just bought the OP5 but i have like 15 days to return it.

I figured that the newer processor and ram would ensure less lag over time, same with battery drainage due to screen over time, also cleaner OS, juicy double sim and network coverage for travel, plenty of storage, ok screen.

The camera is the biggest factor for me, i dunno man, i'm kind of torn atm...arghhhh

>>60995886
If all you want is to play vidya, browse and text you could buy a phone for half the price of the OP5.

>>60995855

I understand that USA is a shit hole but Eastern Europe(Lithuania) is double that shitter and 499.

>>60995910
The G6 has one of the best smartphone cameras at the minute and it gets most of its praise because of the wide angle lens which fits much more into its images. Your concerns over the longevity of your phone are valid but these days phones have such beefy specs that it's not something you have to worry about much.

I'm torn between the 3T and G6 myself.

>>60995886
Yes, with your requirements you can pick a way cheaper smartphone.

Here in kangaroo land I can get a g6 for about $550. Chinkshit 5 will cost $620/$710 for either variant.
Hmm really wonder which one I would get, a no name chinkshit carbon copy of the iphone7 or a cheaper phone with an original design and a decently recognizable name.

Regarding the OP5, I wonder what it means that it isn't waterproof? What can it tolerate, running it in the rain would be too much?

>>60996187
It means that OP5, just like 95% of produced phones, doesn't have an IP rating.

>>60995840

No idea. Americans often say you can find a G6 for cheaper state side. The difference between the 128gb model and the G6 in the UK is only £40.

Are you a selfie obsessed casual or a photographer.

Or a casual photographer?

I get that people want the best tech, but a camera is something I only see cunty self-absorbs using that much of.

One of the, nice to haves rather than essential, at least for me.

I suspect they don't include tax or something, thats often overlooked when doing price comparisons.

In the past it was common knowledge that some companies used the global market to subsidise lower costs in the US, iirc particularly with vidya

I don't care about the bezels or resolution. However, not having microSD means you are paying a lot more for that extra 64GB than you would if you were to buy a microSD card. Also makes transferring data more difficult and time-consuming. Also, the early reviews are saying that despite all the advanced camera tech, the picture quality is shit. That might be fixable with software updates, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

I'm trying to find a replacement for my aging OP1 myself. The 3T would be good, but it's out of stock. I would kinda like something water resistant, too.

I know I'm a retard but i just removed everything from my xiaomi redmi note 4x, including the ROM.

So basically my phone is a carrot right now

What should i do?

>>60996812
Forgot to add; All i have is TWRP

How did I do lads? Am I fucked?

>>60996812

read a proper guide

kernal + rom and you'll be grand

>>60996812
Put the ROM on a microSD and put it in the phone and flash it

>>60996855
I was seconds from clicking confirm order when I bailed out.

Not worth getting with just 1080 screen imo. Get a 3T instead if you can

>>60996835
Enter twrp.
Connect your phone to your PC.
Realize that twrp supports mtp.

OP5 vs. LG V20 vs. LG G6

Please, which one should I get? All about the same price in Canada from what I can find.

>>60995886
As a similar person, i recommend xiaomi redmi note 4.
It runs Wh40k freeblade and injustice 2 smoothly (snapdragon model)

>>60997026
OP5 ofc

Budget is 670 euros
Current phone is original Moto G 16 gb.
Here are my options

Samsung S8 64 GB (670€)
iPhone 7 32 GB (670€)
LG G6 32 GB (600€)
OP 5 64 GB (499€)

The things i value most in my phone

>no lag pls
>software lasts for a long time
>feels comfy in the hand
>battery lasts for a day
>durable

What do you guys think?

>>60997095
Fuck off chinkshit shill.
Go eat a dog somewhere else.

>>60997131
LG G6, especially because you can find the 32GB model at less than 500€.

>>60997131
I am kinda repeating myself. But do consider checking Xiaomi phone. Mine is Redmi note 4. And i didn't regret it.

>>60997131
>no lag
Welp, there goes Samsung and Apple. Not sure about G6, check reviews.

>>60997131
>>60997250
Oh and a 4100 mAh. With that much it can last for 1-3 day depending of usage.

>>60997250
I kind of wanna try muh flagship experience at least once in my life since I'll have the cash for it.

>>60997236
>>60997283
What about muh bootloops.

>>60995237
>The OP5 price hike isn't justified compared to it.

A used 3t is about the same as a new 5 though. Ever since they stopped production the swappa jews have been in force.

>>60997395
It's a flagship... For the poor or for those who doesn't go after flagships.
I will be honest. If i had that much money to burn, i too would have done the same. OP5 seems gut. But that batters is kind of weak...

>>60997174
Why does a phone trigger you so much?

>Only global versions available
Are these usable in the US on AT&T?

>>60997982
Not really, it's missing the important LTE bands for US which only the US version has

Need a cheap mid range phone lads. Budget is around 400 but can stretch to 500 depending on the phone. Mostly browse the web, listen to a lot of music and take a lot of pictures when I'm hiking and stuff. I would love it if the phone could last me at least 2 years

Current ones I'm considering are
P10 Lite £250
A5 2017 £325
Honor 8 £339
iPhone SE 64gb £369

What the fuck are you guys using more than 128gb of storage for?
