Oneplus 3T over G5

Hello guys
I'v got the Lg g5 for 3 months and been good so far
But so disappointed with the locked bootloader and no root for the device and the battery is not that good . hardly last for 8 hours .
I'v been considering replacing it with Htc 10 Oneplus 3 or 3T since i'v only heard good things about this phone .
Would be happy if you guys tell what u think about your phone and does it better than G5 ? Any one had compared this 2 phones ?
Anything would help
Thanks for share your opinion ☺

Go with the 3T, but you'll miss the camera on your G5.

I actually have a very close friend who has a G5. He was happy with it at first, but then the screen started getting TERRIBLE burn-in. That phone has gone down-hill from there. He said that whenever he gets the money for it, he's going to get a phone "like mine." The 3T. Ha!

Little bit of both.
Go with 3T, unless you are a heavy photographer. G5 is a trash.

I'd go with the OP3T too. My gf has the G5, I just don't find it as good. Wish she'd got a 3T as well, much easier for me to keep everything in check.

I find it a little funny that someone said S7 is better. I guess when it comes down to it, as others have already mentioned; the S7 DOES have a better camera, higher res display, and a little smaller in size so it's easier to hold.
Outside of that, when it comes to performance, the OP3T will run laps around the S7 and S7E.
I have an S7, and had to send it for service twice already. I just purchased the OP3T last night and can't wait to get it!
Oh 1 more thing... OOS > Touchwiz

OP3T is "flying" ..Go for it......

Go with the 3T! The G5 is a "good" phone overall with a killer camera. But the 3T with its good camera is the better phone.

HTC 10 vs OnePlus 3t

My phone's battery is running out from 100 to 0 in 10 minutes or so and I need to be next to a charger 100% of the time...
I really need a new phone and thought about the OnePlus 3t and HTC 10... (Both are about the same price in Israel)
I need a phone with an awesome battery life and camera, good display, performance and build quality... Do you have any suggestions? And if not any of these phones, which phone do you recommend?

Any one?

Well, my opinion is very biased, since I chose the OP3T. But I was a loyal HTC fan, and this is my first smartphone that isn't an HTC (after owning 5 different HTC phones).
The main discriminators for me were price (OP3T is $439 US versus $599 for the HTC10) and the fact that the 10 felt like "last generation" to me. It's true that the OP3T is really only a half a year/generation newer. But the 10 really did feel like last years model to me, with the U and U Ultra coming soon.
My last phone is the HTC M9, going on 3 years old now. So for me, the OP3T is a big upgrade. It's blazing fast, takes really nice photos, and the AMOLED screen is beautiful. Now the downsides are the screen resolution (probably only an issue if you want to do VR), lowlight photos (although I've been doing fine, and I take a lot of pics of my kids) and no SD card slot (for now, the 64 GB version is fine - or you can go for the 128 GB version).
The battery life on the OP3T has also been impressive. Plus, with the included Dash charger, it charges really fast.
The 10 is a nice phone as well. I think all you really gain (versus the OP3T) is more audio/music centric features, and an SD slot. Although the OP3T speakers still sound pretty good, even with a single bottom firing speaker.

And if both of them were the same price (the 32 GB costs like the 3t 64...).. which one would you buy? (Knowing that HTC in your country is way more known and repairable) I'm in a real big dilema

Honestly, get the HTC 10. It recently became available here in Germany for the same price as the 3T and if I'd haven't bought the 3T a month ago, I'd have chosen the HTC.

Better camera, more accessories, better support, easier to get repaired, just a reliable daily driver.
Also, just get one of them. Not much sense making a dilemma out of these first world problems.

I never understood why people keep asking what phone should they buy. Most people just buy their phones only to be seen by other people what a great phone they have. Personally, I buy the phone that I like the looks of it and which fits my needs. And that`s how I got my OP 3T. Before buying it, I`ve seen some reviews which 90% were pretty good for me. The things I wanted most were amazing performance, battery that gets me through 1 day, fast charging, a stock android with a lot customize options. OP 3T has all of them. Have to mention that I had the chance to buy S7 Edge and HTC 10 at around 400 euros. But again, 3T had all the things I need, so I went for it.
Its sad to buy things just to have the best one from the market. Its not like you buy a Buggati Veiron, just to have the fastest car in your city. Same goes for the phones. Just buy whatever you like most and whatever fits your daily needs. If you want performance, go for OP3T, S7,S7 edge, htc 10, Moto Z and so on. If you want photography, go for Moto Z and buy yourself the camera mods, and so on. its very simple

I really not looking for best in market...
I just think that the 10 is better for me and I don't know if I'm right
I need a very (very) good camera
A very good battery
A good performance
A decent screen (at least 400 PPI)
And decent build quality
What phone do you think will be the best for me?
(It will be nice to have OLED display, usb-c, 4+- ram, and SD slot if less than 64 GB)

depends what you want I've gone from a Mi5 128GB to a OP3T and not sure if I regret it or not, the size is a pain for me, yes it's great for media, but daily use on the move the smaller size of the Mi5 was awesome.
Both great phones, but for different reasons.

Well, they aren't the same price for me. And I'm not a big fan of making that judgment, based on a hypothetical situation that doesn't exist for me.
They are both very solid phones, and there is no reason to feel "stupid" in any case. Everyone has different preferences and opinions on what constitutes the "best" for them. So at the end of the day, the only "right" or "wrong" decision lies with you, not what others think.

I had some reservations about moving to a larger screen/phone myself. But honestly, now that I have the OP3T, I'm really liking having a bit larger screen. Not just for video, but for web browsing, and other things. As long as it fits in my pocket, who cares if its a bit bigger? I seriously think I've have trouble going back to a smaller screen at this point.

should i buy a one plus 3t? or wait for 5?

are you guys enjoying the 3t? worth every penny? will u upgrade to the next one plus this year? is it worth waiting?

As long as they continue to update the 3t the way they are, I'll be keeping mine for a while. Phone works great, looks great and I'm experiencing great battery life on the stock rom

I'm simply in love with mine. It has AMOLED display, hardware that secures future, good camera.
This can be told about many phones, but... Do they have so frequent software updates? Beta twice a month! Actually, developers are listening to people's opinions (obviously can't listen to everyone).
From what I've seen, many people who changed their phones from s7e/nexus to OP3T are really content with it.
Battery life is another great thing, it easily goes through a day and charges so quickly!

If you don't need a new phone urgently, you might as well wait for the next OnePlus phone. As much as we don't want to face it, OnePlus is likely going to put development for the 3/3T on the back-burner once the next generation of phones are released (looking at you, OP2). That said, the OP3/T is certainly an excellent device and worth its current price.

yeah its a killer phone. id get one. just did in fact.
Brian

I upgraded from the S7 edge to the 3t (like 2weeks ago) and I love this phone. Way ahead of the game, not a single particle of lag. That said, I will probably upgrade once the 5 comes out; as I love having the latest tech, but yeah. Getting this phone right now was worth it for me.

Upgraded from 6p and really like it!,
Just 2 features i really miss front stereo speakers and camera everything else is perfect for me

Best supported phone ive ever owned. Even with the nexus one, support from google still doesnt compare to oneplus.

Is that whats happened to oneplus 1 and 2?

Uhm, no idea.
I justified spending 400+ EUR on the 3T, because I thought at the time that I'm going to keep it for at least two years. And now I'm tempted to upgrade to the 5, because fsck yeah, this phone is awesome, can't wait for the next model. I'll just give this to someone in the family.

I looked to upgrade to something else but seriously - there's nothing else out there. It's at the top of it's game. Get it now, or if not in hurry for a few months. Wait.

Rumor
There is a rumor on OP 5 that it has a ceramic/glass back. Well if you don't wanna break it then...
Nothing official so.....
I still love the block type metal of the OP 3T so it is my ideal choice

When does one plus release its device?. Is it in August?..

It's all just rumor at this point. No announcement yet. And manufacturers usually don't tip their hand too early. Doing so would not only potentially damage the sales of the current device, but also may give their competition an edge.
I've seen some stories around that state that Samsung is buying up all the Snapdragon 835 supply. And being the Android market juggernaut, most (all?) other manufacturers are going to have to wait to get the 835. This alone may cause OnePlus to delay a launch.

The OP3T is amazing and I think OP5 will be even more. If you aren't in a hurry, would be nice to wait.

OP3t is a great device. Even if OP stops updates at nougat, the dev support will continue.
Look at the OPO, it has perfect nougat ROMs that are current. The OP3t will continue on with devs, cause it's a solid built device (as was the OPO). The OP2 had no nfc and the crap 810 cpu, and still solid on dev support.

I currently have a Note 5 and am looking to pick up another device for some additional R00T fun. My ONLY concern is the 1080p screen. I know this sounds absurd but we've been spoiled with 1440p. Can you really actually see a noticeable difference?

I understand you haha. I was a little worried myself, as a lot of people hyped it "down" .
Honestly, Samsung has the best screens any phone manufacturer can have. Comparing both, I noticed that the colors looked better on the S7 edge, and that the S7's screen gets brighter. Are those deal breakers? Absolutely not. The screen is great and 1440 p is not different compared to 1080p .
It'll definitely take the screen downgrade for a absolutely lagfree device. It's been almost 2 weeks and not a single app, or animation has lagged. Also battery life is great. Damn I still feel like I'm not using this device to its full capabilities lol

With how things are going, they seem to have found the hardware they really love, so they're developing their software now. I think they want to love their software as much as their hardware, so they may be sticking with the 3t. Look how many special editions are coming out, they got an otterbox deal and they acrually ship on time now.

If you want to use some vr hardware, then yes, 4k is better. Otherwise 1080p is faster to drive, and uses less power. So it's a trade-off.

I would get it definitely. Well i already did actually. Great phone I love it definitely worth the money and had a great supporting dev community. And if your worried about oneplus stopping updates it's no big deal cause there a lots of custom roms for this phone and there is a great community surrounding it.

3T or S8?

Hey guys, i'm currently looking into getting a 3t or s8 because i'm tired of having an iphone 6 for 2 years. Before the Iphone 6 I had the HTC One X, and then the HTC One m7. They were good phones but both spazzed out on me so I got rid of them. I'm looking into going back to android but I don't know if I should go with the s8 or 3t.. any suggestions? I know for the price the 3t is hard to beat, but i'm also a little worried about going ahead and getting one because the Oneplus 5 may be right around the corner...
thanks guys!

I went for the oneplus 3t and I'm keeping this handset at least for the next year or two. Plenty of development and just a quick snappy phone with massive ram.

Yeah I went ahead and got the 3t. I dont want to spend $300 more for the S8. Hopefully we get lots of updates in the future.

I went for the 3T no bloatware, rooting capabilities (flashing mods and kernels) best bang for your buck

I love my 3T. My only concern is Oneplus commitment to updates on phones that aren't current. Sure, the Oneplus 3 and 3T continue to get regular updates. The Oneplus 2 and X get nothing however.
So will this happen when the Oneplus 4/5 comes out? I don't care as I update to the new phone whenever Oneplus does. But for those who want to keep their handsets longer? Who knows.

Yep, i'm a bit worried about this too. It seems like we have a really good dev community though so I'm sure this phone will be popular for a while.

For the main question, I'm kind of debating this myself too - I actually have both on order and am going to compare them before I make my decision. However, I will say the only thing that's drawing me to the S8 is the wow factor of it - and newness of the display and whatnot. In terms of tried and true performance, I really don't think a Samsung phone will be able to beat the 3T. Samsung just has never optimized their OS that well.
As for the 3T getting regular updates, this is just a guess of mine, so take it with a grain of salt, but I feel like OnePlus will support the 3T longer than they did the OP2 and OPX partially because it came out later in their release cycle, and that they're continuing to release new variants of it. It'd be really surprising for them to pitch the matte black version of the phone in April, and then fail to provide any updates for it after the OP5 comes out in July or August or whenever. It could certainly happen, but it seems like bad business to me.
Even still, with the independent development community OnePlus phones have, even if there's no official updates, you should still have unofficial releases coming for quite some time. I know someone who didn't replace their OnePlus One until very recently purely because it was still a perfectly satisfactory experience for them.

S8 benchmarks about the same as the Oneplus 3T. Of course they also force touchwiz, a locked bootloader, and other bloatware on you. If you root or care about custom roms don't get a s8.

OP3T. If you're a member here , I guess you wouldn't like to deal with all that locked bootloaders and other stuff to customize your phone

Well, you live in the US, so 3T. Otherwise I'd go with the S8 INTL Exynos.
It is indeed much pricier, but you get a big screen, IP67, much better camera and some additional features. Software side, their GraceUX (7.0) update on the S7 was already great - but the OOS on the OP3Tis just faster and more AOSP feeling

I have the 3t, decided to order the s8. The GraceUX look amazing. So much better than TouchWiz. Hated that. Also hated the bloatware on Samsung phones, so thats why I did not go for the s7. They have really pared back the bloat on the S8 and that screen, just draw dropping! The 3t is ok, but I hate the fingerprint scanner. Why did OP have to introduce their own method instead of using qualacoms. It takes several attempts some times to unlock the phone. Just dont like it at all!

If you like to change from one cage to another, take the S8 and pay a lot money for it... But if you like not to be a cagebird anymore, you have to choose the OP3T!!!
Don't make a mistake!

Well there's really no contest here tbh. The S8 is obviously the superior phone. However, it also has the superior price... So it's really up to you how much you wanna spend. You won't be disappointed either way.

As long as you're in the us go with the the 3t. I love this phone, I'm going to stick with it til the 5/6 comes out then upgrade. Even if after his year they slow down with the updates to oos, I do believe with the 3 they will keep up with the security patches. I have flashed most if the roms in the forums and all of them are great as well. Allot of flexibility and the hardware/software combination is phenomenal in both performance and battery. I've had several htc's, lg's, and galaxy's and tbh I don't believe I will ever go back any of them as long as oneplus is in business. Even then I may try out a huawei or another chinese company as well. Bang for buck they seem to have it down very well in comparison to the bigger companies.

3T without a doubt
If I had those two devices in front of me so that I could go home with one of them, that would be 3T regardless of anything
Actually the only better feature of S8 is the display, but nothing more. OP beats the new Samsung in every aspect (not to mention software factor)

Better screen, better CPU, better GPU, wireless charging, better data/wifi speeds, way better camera, IP 6/8 (dust proof and water resistant), IRIS scanner, heart rate sensor.
Come on guys.. I love my 3T too but let's try to stay within the realms of reality here... The S8 crushes the 3T in everything except in charging speeds, software (with this one being subjective) and price. Where I'm from, an S8 plus will cost around the same as 2 Oneplus 3T's.

never go with samsung.
they fck up android so hard, everytime.
worst company when it comes to software. by far.

But it's Samsung
Their flagship will be obsolete in a year or so while we will still be getting independent developers' support. The device is only as good as its software.
My experience with Samsung is just horrible and their devices are just hyped up (like Apple products). If you want a really decent Android experience then definitely don't go that way.
I confess, I quite exaggerated speaking about the technical side of this all but as I said my story with Samsung is terrible and I really do think that their products are just bad.

Having used both the oneplus 3t and S7 edge , considering the fact that you went from HTC to iPhone i figure you would not want to fool around your phone with root and all . i therefore suggest going with s8 if you can afford . Like others have said and my personal experience touchwiz is not really that blotted (at least on the international variant ) and camera on the s7/s8 will stomp op3t any day not to mention the water and dust resistance and biggest of all if available Samsung pay !

eh I don't really care about samsung pay. I'll probably root it but I don't think i'll mess with flashing ROMs anymore like I did on my HTC's, if i do it won't be any time soon. I went ahead and got the 3t because I'm not really trying to spend $700.

Are you planning to upgrade ?

So the OP5 is coming soon, we have few leaks about it but are you thinking about an upgrade ? Or you will keep this beast for one/two more years ?

I just got mine yesturday so i plan on keeping it till at least the 6 comes out.

I'll upgrade if the specs are good. 2k screen with a good camera and easily unlockable with good dev support. If not I'll get a new different phone either the international Note 8 version with unlocked bootloader or the new Pixel.

Just saw the news said they drop support for the op2. Hope OnePlus won't drop the software update support on op3t. Otherwise I will use 3t until op6 comes out.

Nah, I´m really happy with the change from a Nexus 6P to the 3T. The only downside is the camera at night and to be honest with myself I don´t use the camera enough to justify an upgrade. I love the 1080 screen, 6gb ram (especially at the beta, app management is the best on any android phone I´ve experienced). And regarding android upgrades, as long as i get security patches I´m happy. Google seems to f#ck things up more and more along the road..

I didn't buy 3T to upgrade it just after the next gen comes. Like seriously, the purpose of all those specs like 6GB of RAM is to last long and endure technological evolution process as well.
BTW I had an opportunity to get my hands onto S8 recently and even for free I wouldn't swap these devices even though 3T is from the previous generation of flagships (which apparently means nothing in this case).

I have the 3T since January. No reasons to upgrade. I'll keep it for 2 years, I hope.

not yet, unless the OP5 is groundbreaking

Maybe

Oh I'm upgrading but def not to the OP5. Probably gonna grab an S8+ pretty soon and then the Note 8 when it comes out. I only buy OPs if I need a new phone and there's nothing out that interests me. They are great interim phones, for sure.

If it'll be under 500€ i'll buy it

Im going to go with a solid maybe. Normally i dont buy phones for cameras. Never have never will. but im very interested in this things camera, those picture samples leaked are SOOOOOOO damn good looking. Normally id reach for my nikon but holy moly the detail. You know youve got a good camera if you can see the scales on a strawberry. The 835 sounds amazing 6gb ram is super useful and if that new leak is true with the 30 minute full charge on dash, thats a buy right there just for the charging feature. My lord-y thats just smartphone bliss right there. Forget battery banks imagine what you can get in a 5 minute charge. Theyll change the tag line to a whole days power in a 10th of an hour.

But if the camera is the only *major* upgrade, while you still consider buying it or you will just keep the 3T ?

Its a low chance that is the only major upgrade. They will definitely be using the 835 or hopefully even thr 850 if its delayed enough.

They've already confirmed it will use snapdragon 835. That's about a 10% performance increase over snapdragon 821.

I do belive that the 5 is a good idea. Im sure they way they use the 835 it will be more than 10%

I've owned alot of phones in my time, but the OP3t is hands down my favorite. The OP5 is gonna have to bring a lot more then just a camera upgrade for me to drop 500 bucks on it.

If the price is between $400 & $450, I'll buy immediately. If it's qHd I'll buy immediately, below $600. If the materials are new (ceramic) I'll buy immediately.
If not, I'm going to wait and see what the Note looks like. Or the Mate.
I love this phone and only got it in March or something.

If you just got it in March no need to upgrade in my opinion,your phone is still new
