Should i get a oneplus 3t? - OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers

I love everything about this phone, but i heard the screen looks fuzzy due to the pentile technology. Do you people think this screen looks fuzzy and horrible and do you guys recommend i get this phone or the Pixel XL?

Hi i suggest you to go for oneplus 5 as it has snapdragon 835 in almost hakf price of the Samsung s8.
Yes there are issues with display (jelly effect ) but they will solve in software update and not every device has this issue you can return and ask for replacement if issue occurs in your phone.
Overall its upto you.

I'd advise you to wait for the Pixel 2 to released, and then to take the Pixel XL.. It has a better camera, and imo it looks way better. However you won't have customization options of the 3T. The screen is fine on the 3T though so don't worry about that if you choose it.
Really it's up to you, both of them are better than 95% of other smartphones.

I bought a 3t just yesterday, new for 350 EU and it's a fantastic peace of hardware, coming from a OnePlus2...
It's still worth a buy, community support is incredible hardware itself is pretty much future-proof - I'm really happy!

The screen on the 3T is excellent.
Very deep blacks.

You should go for the OP5...you can find it on some warehouses in a better price that oneplus offers.....

Text doesn't look fuzzy to me at all. Honestly, folks that complain about pentile (or this display in particular) must have much better eyes than I do. Everything looks sharp and vibrant to me.
The OP5 looks to be an incremental improvement, at best. And that jelly effect just looks annoying. If you can get the 3T for a significantly lower price (and I would think so) it's a much better deal.

A software update won't fix your UPSIDE down display ....MATE screen on 3T is perfect... Colors are absolutely spot on...rich deep Black's. After using QHD since the note 4 I can tell you the difference was almost not there !

Yeah i never had an issues with the screen at all. You can get 3t for less than $400 right now (used) or if you have bigger budget, go with the pixel 2. LG G6 has an awesome deal on ebay right now, $400 brand new.

Want to switch from Sony Xperia Z2
Is it worth buying OP3T now(in my country it costs about 400EUROS and Oneplus5 like 500)?
Other people recommend Huawei Honor 9.
Idk what should I do, my budget is about 350-400 (MAX 450euros) .
Opinions?

Don't go for the Honor 9 (unless it's priced significantly lower). If you are going for the Honor 9, just go for the 3T, it packs a greater punch (the storage is significantly faster inside the 3T)
The 3T is still worth it even at this times. It's blistering fast and the battery life is superb (for me). Honestly the performance difference between the 5 and 3T is not by a huge margin anyway.

Btw, what`s your setup: Kernel / ROM
Are there any problems you face on daily basis?

He just said it's still worth it (those exact words) in the post you quoted. Why are you asking again?
Plus, the Honor 9 is not going to have anywhere near the development and community here as the 3T does. The 3T section is the most active forum on XDA, last I heard.

OnePlus 3T Informations

Hey I got a link which shows the new OP3 T with a new color : Gunmetal
https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:QcIugThvkS4J:https://oneplus.net/3T/specs
Will you upgrade ?
Just to get a Snapdragon 821 instead of a 820 ?
I am staying so as the developers
Boefflo tweeted he aint buying another or switching to it.
Nops but the 128gb and the gunmetal is the only thing that attracts me but not worth the hassle lets wait for opo4 now and update lol
For me Gunmetal should be the official color since the OP3 release !
Looks so nice !
Seriously.......OP should not release this if its real......Just give OP3 community breathing room. It would suck to see Fragmented development/support. As much as I want the 128 GB, I'll wait and hope OP4 has 128 GB.
Hopefully the devs stay with the OP3 so I don't have to switch as it seems pointless to me.
If the rear camera is the same as the OnePlus 3 (as the link suggests - Sony IMX 298) then I'm not in a rush to upgrade.
New promo videos are up on YouTube for the new oneplus 3T and the oxygen os.

According to one of user in reddit who got reply from oneplus "Thank you for reaching OnePlus, Dan. No, we are not going to dicontinued the product however we are still waiting for the update from our Main Headquarters as to when it will be back in stock. What we can suggest is, please continue to stay tuned to our forums or website from time to time."
Btw op3 is still available in India and some European countries
http://www.xda-developers.com/exclu...at-it-means-for-the-future-of-your-oneplus-3/
"However, the OnePlus 3Tâ??s battery is?*not physically bigger, rather it went through a safe voltage change from 4.35 volts to 4.4 volts?*(which explains the 13% increase in mAh, clever huh?)."
The whole thing appears to be mostly a non-issue to me........unless 16MP selfies is what gets you excited!! In that case you better pre-order that OP3T right away........and maybe get your hair done.
Here is the link https://oneplus.net/3t?utm_source=O...il&utm_term=0_7a427be021-1b80dee875-183566697
Can't seem to understand why oneplus would do this
I just don't get it. Is the original OP3 getting phased out? I see little reason why would they want to keep the original..
I just got the OP3 on Saturday. I am still with the return window.. Prolly gonna keep it. The $40 bucks ok, but you're looking to have this phone in December..
I'm relieved. It's a non issue the specs aren't worth the extra money and the devs already have our OP3 anyway can't see many of them changing. I'll bet the source will be easily modified to provide roms for both phones too.
Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using Tapatalk
@ShadowRii That's the only thing making sense and one reason we won't see a price drop of the OP3.
I can't see how they could satisfy the demand for both phones.
With the new pricing of the OP3T they nearly "killed" the demand for the OP3.
So they switch a "currently out of stock cause of missing parts" to "currently out of stock due to high demand".
Who ever had this idea at OnePlus should get a bonus.
Good work
@ephumuris
Not worth? Nearly 10 % faster CPU, 13% bigger battery, better front camera for 10% higher price?
If somebody already owns an OP3, I'm with you but if you should decide between those two now... Would be a no brained for me.
Imho this pricing sounds fair
Well I'm officially out. Some amazing hardware specs, completely and UTTERLY let down by its extremely limited use outside of a few northern hemisphere countries.
Australian's who want fast 4G data will not buy this one. I'm one of them.
Bravo, Oneplus.

returned my 3t...

Ok so after I got my op3t I had horrible battery drain issues, after that my vibration got very loud buzzy and wierd... And I couldn't handle with the phone like that... So I returned it and got my money back...
Now I need a new phone... And I consider if to wait till mid + 2017 until I decide what phone to get or just buy an HTC 10 (or v20 but everyone say that it has stuttering problems)
now... what do you suggest? Should I get the HTC 10? wait? Or get a new 3t...?
(I'm not considering the S7 because no USB-C)
I need a very very good battery and camera
A very good performance
A nice vibrant screen and good build quality...
What phone do you suggest?
Or.. what do you suggest I'll do?
(Meanwhile I have a broken HTC M8)
Thank you!!!
3t if you want newer tech, Dev and better quality.

HTC 10, V20 and S7 are the same price as him in Israel... You sure?
Unlocked pixel, or another 3T or wait for the S8
If I were you, I will try my luck to get another brand new 3T since you already said that the S7 were not an option anymore.
The lousy vibration might be the hardware or manufacturing defect, however as for the battery drain, for sure, I'm not experienced it. Currently, my 3T running on the latest OOS 4.1.0 with latest ElementalX kernel and the battery life is just fine for me.

man I suggest you to go for another 3T or HTC 10. I own both phones And I love them so much. HTC 10 will not give you the best of everything but the overall experience is perfect. and balance. the build, the screen, the feel in hand, the speakers, the camera and the nougat is so stable I can say its stable than most smartphones these day (oh wait pixel is the number 1 in term of software). you can head up to htc 10 forum and there is no complain thread. I can afford any phone but I still cant find the perfect 10/10 phone this year. I would say no even someone offered me S7 or v20 or ultra U for free.
Both phones I rate 8/10. good luck

I dont know based on your rate its samsung s7 edge. I dont think you should wait. you buy a phone when you feel to. you wait for another 3months to buy a new phone then you will have to wait for another 3-5 months waiting for the price drop and in the next few months there will always new phones come again. you will keep waiting forever.

I still have my M8. Going from M8 to HTC 10 is not a day and night different but its an upgrade tho because M8 still runs good in any day.
What I dont like on 3T is the amoled yellowiest screen and the camera. the rest im very satisfied if oneplus fix those in op5, sure 2017 is the year.

The plus 3 screen is beautiful and white. The whites are the whitest whites I have ever seen on a smartphone. What are you talking about? Maybe the one you saw had night mode on... The camera is actually pretty good and the 60fps video is amazing!
But sure... The 10 really does seem better and the camera rated only one point less than the pixel
G6?
If budget isn't a challenge, you can consider adding Huawei Mate 9 and Mate 9 Pro to the list of options.

Help me decide: Used 3T or new 5?

Hi folks,
I can get a good/mint condition 64 GB 3T for ~$360-375. Or I can buy a new 5 for $479 presumably plus tax so around $512 actually.
I'm on the fence as to which way to go. Coming from an LG G3 so either OnePlus would feel modern and snappy. I'm a bit concerned by reports of the jelly effect on the 5, but I like the idea of a new phone complete with warranty I can send back if I don't like it. OTOH, I like the idea of saving $150 on my phone upgrade. Resale value on the 3T might go down over the next year more than the 5, though, somewhat offsetting this. And I've heard there are some issues with Light Flow (LED notifications) on the 3T... this worries me, as I use Light Flow extensively.
FWIW I use AT&T as my carrier.
I'd be grateful for any thoughts here to help me decide one way or the other.
Thanks!
That's a easy choice, Get the oneplus 5 but if you have the jelly effect just get your refund and get a mint conditon oneplus 3t.
It's a good idea. Was just wondering if there was any other reason to go with 3T instead, to add to the cost savings idea.
Sent from my LG-D851 using Tapatalk
I'd snag the 3T if I were you; I've had the 3 since it came out and after reading the issues with the 5 (which seem to come aplenty), I went with the 3T.
Which issues, specifically, other than jelly scrolling (which might not bug me even if I see it)?

- Chipped / damaged camera lenses
- Dual camera lenses not properly functioning or not at all
- Missing paint from the side of the lenses / phone
Those are some that come off from the top of my head.
Also, the 911 bug. Just a software issue, and a fix has been pushed OTA. But now some folks are complaining the fix is causing overheating.

Yeah, I heard about this. Shocking that it could occur, but glad it was fixed quickly. I hadn't heard about overheating issues. Will investigate. Apparently other phone models from various makers have elements of the 911 bug too. Scary.
Sent from my LG-D851 using Tapatalk
here is my 2 cents, if you have the opportunity to buy a mint 3t 128gb for 360 do it.
You won't want to deal with paying for shipping or even deal with OPO customer care when and if u have to return ur opo5
well, I was having OP3 64GB, ordered OP5 128GB with 8GB of RAM recently. The OP5 is definitely faster while switching apps, home button reaction etc. Battery was also great, I was surprised. Simply, there is not faster phone on market.
But I sent it back anyway because of poor (to my taste) video recording. EIS doesnt do such a great job as OIS and it did not work in 1080p60 if I remember right (maybe it does work now after SW update). For this very reason I sent it back and got brand new OP3T 64GB for $375 instead ) And am very happy now I would not change back to OP5 now.
Good luck with your choice
It is a tough choice. Was also considering HTC U11 and LG V20 but specific issues made me look at OnePlus more strongly.

Get the 3T and save the money for a future 5T, where all the bugs will be solved with the experience they got
Edit... I was also looking for the V20 when I decided for the 3T. LG is terrible with updates and the 2 screens only worked with the original LG framework so, if someday you think about going AOSP, I don't believe it will be working... Just my 2 cents though
If the choice is simply between the 3T and 5, I would suggest going with 3T.
Currently, I'm thinking to change my 3T to G6 or V20 due to both of LG's flagship had a quad DAC. Mind you, the audio output from the 3T is just worse, I cannot stand to listen to a song from Spotify Premium (extreme quality settings, headphone Audio Technica M50x or IEM ATK-CKS550iS) for more than 20 minutes.

Right, the V20 doesn't have a multicolor LED, and the second screen has limited support for customizing the way I would want to use it, so I sort of bailed. The U11 does look like a nice phone, but not sure it is worth a $200 premium over the OP5 for example or a $300 premium over the 3T. Further the U11 doesn't exactly have band 17, though presumably it's OK on band 12 which has band 17 parity in a weird way for ATT. What I'd like is to drive all three phones for a while and then make my decision...
Mint 3T -64GB from reputable sellers on Swappa is over $400. Not sure if I want to go with a first time seller (though, I was a first time seller, once). Good condition goes in the $350-375 range, at the moment. Hmmm...

The U11 looks like such a nice phone. I've been a loyal HTC fan for so long, the 3T is actually my first non-HTC smartphone, going back to Windows Mobile days!
But in addition to the price, the absence of the headphone jack just was a deal breaker for me. Folks keep saying that it's due to the waterproofing, but that's nonsense. Samsung, LG (and I believe Sony as well) achieve waterproof IP ratings with headphone jacks, plus MicroSD slots. And the charge slot doesn't seem much different, in terms of waterproofing. It more seems to me that manufacturers just want to utilize the space (by removing the headphone jack), or save a dollar or 2 on having to waterproof the headphone jack. And in the process force "progress" that customers don't actually want; but make them "think" they want it.
Okay, sorry for the rant. Maybe not even one of the issues you were referring to. But just my own thoughts on the topic.
Thanks all.
I had lots of hesitation points on the 5 so I decided to buy a 3T for now. Got a mint one (64Gb) for $370 on swappa a few minutes ago. I will play with it for a month or two while keeping my eye on the developments on the 5 and other phones of interest. Can always trade up later if I feel like it.
Thanks for all your help.

Jelly effect is a deal breaker (at least, for me). I ordered a OnePlus 5 at launch, go it for 2 days, send it back to refund, and purchased a OnePlus 3T yesterday.
Yes, I could have wait for the 5T (tho, we are not even sure about it); if we always wait, we never buy.
Plus, OnePlus 3T still has an awesome community (with Boeffla and Dorimanx for example, I know my device will have kernel update for a looooong time) and some awesome specs, even for 2017.
So yeah @Frankenscript, I think you made a great choice

Why I sent back my OnePlus 6T.

First of all the notch was no big deal, turned on the settings to hide it and forgot about it. I did not like the screen quality. Now I am coming from a Nexus 6P which a QHD display and knew it came with a lower resolution screen but all the reviewers were saying how they can't tell the difference. They must need glasses. I am middle aged with not great eyesight and I could easily spot the difference.
The speed of the device is fast and the battery life was good. Wifi reception is excellent.
The dongle for headphones was no big deal either as all of mine worked. However the OnePlus 6T dongle in the box looks like it will break easily overtime and I am mad in the US they don't sell extra's. As for the sound quality knowing that USB-Type C headphones use digital I think the sound quality is not great and even when using a USB-Type C headphones dongle on the Nexus 6P I noticed much better sound. Now the reason I sent it back is constant audio stuttering with Apple Music. I read this has been going on for years and no I am not dropping AM as I hate Spotify UI and I don't really like Play Music which will turn into the much worse YTMusic soon.
So that is a deal breaker I sent it back, went back to my Nexus 6P.
Bout sent back Mine cause it won't work properly on Verizon...
I have T-Mobile so I did not have a chance to try it outside. As soon as AM kept stuttering I wanted to return it.
No issues with Apple music here. I have prepaid so I don't use Verizon myself. I dumped them like 4 years ago now and never looked back

Are you running stock Oxygen or a mod? As with stock Oxygen AM stutters.
Zero issues with AM here either. Stock.
Stock Oxygen OS. I am unsure about rooting my device right now. I use a lot of apps that may not work after root but AM works great for me

I came from a pixel 3xl and the 6T is pretty sweet. I've had mush faster and smoother performance and no issues connecting to any of the services listed.
Sorry ur having issues.
Apple music works fine here
Not really buying that. I'm a pixel peeper and had doubts but you can't tell the screen is 1080p. You would have to have the phone very close to your face to see the difference. Also the Nexus 6p is pretty ancient now and the screen quality won't be anywhere near as good as the newest ones...amoled tech gets better every year.... unless it's from LG ?

I had a 6p and have no issues with the 6t screen. It looks great.

I've had the 6P, Note 5, S7e+, S8+ and I'm perfectly fine with the 6T's 1080 screen.

A little off topic but how do you compare the camera differences between the 3xl and the 6t. I bought the 6t coming from the og XL (got it free due to 6p battery jank, totally regret it.) Im totally conflicted between wanting the 3xl and sticking with the 6t. My main concern is the camera. In your opinion is the camera on the 3xl worth the price difference?

I own a Pixel 3 XL, both versions of the OnePlus 6T (T-Mobile and unlocked straight from OnePlus) and an iPhone XS Max.
I don't know if it's worth the price difference but I do know whenever I know I'm going to be taking a lot of photos my Pixel 3 XL goes with me and the rest stay home.

The Pixel 3 has an unrivaled camera. Maybe Huawei's mate 20 pro/x can compare to the experience due to more options with a wide angle lens, AI that doesn't suck (that black/white background while keeping the subject in colour is amazing), and a night sight mode that performs well.. but the Pixel is king. I returned my Pixel 3 XL because the notch was too hideous and the speakers were garbage, but I'm glad we have GCam for the 6T. Stock camera isn't as good as GCam.
And to the op: sorry but I'm calling bs. There's no genuine way you can tell the difference between 1080p and 1440p on a smartphone. Maybe you're confusing the screen quality, which is still very questionable given how old the 6P is, but still - there's no way you can tell the difference between a FHD and QHD panel with the naked eye. You'd have to have the phone about an inch from your eye to possibly see anything.

The pixel 3 xl isn't worth the price at all.
I guess ive used bluetooth headphones the last few years.. Cant be bothered with archaic wired headphones.
Coming off a pixel 1, can cant tell any differences in the ppi except in vr.. And is not much.
Only major loss is the camera., but everyting else makes up for it.

I'd agree with this too. The pixel 3 shoots 10/10 pics great while the 6T is maybe 7 or 8 out of 10. Then portrait mode is not even close! Overall its more than fine for what I use it for

I guess it depends on how important the camera is to you. The Pixel is obviously better, but then again it's probably better than any phone, not just the 6T. I always think I need the best camera, but then in practice, unless I'm on holiday somewhere, I don't even use it that much. Although sure, it would be nice to have.
Part of the problem as well is the tenancy to view photos side-by-side in camera comparison videos and the like. When you directly compare the 6T to something like the Pixel 3 in most cases it's not going to be as good, but in real usage when you're not comparing it to the best in class, it's a fairly capable shooter in its own right.

I went super geeky and did side by side shots between both phones then looked at them on my laptop. 6T def held its own!!! Only a few shots were way better

Upgrading from 6T to 7 Pro.

I'm enough with the 6T gonna upgrade to 7 Pro. The main thing are the no notch, pop up camera feature And especially curved display and even the display has been rated as A+. And the processor is 855 AC standard or AX standard not sure about that. Is there anyone else like me upgrading from 6T to 7 Pro??
Well considering, but the price might be a joke, lets see in a week, 700 quid or more just aint cheap or affordable anymore, honor 20 pro probably be around 500 ish mark ( yes hate the software) but if they can manage to stick all latest hardware inc basically same or even better cams, ... Why OP tryin to climb up to flagship prices
Have you guys looked at the axon 10 pro?

I will not say nice upgrade but if are done with the 6T then go for it.
I am going to keep my OnePlus 6T. It's probably expected that the OnePlus 7T will be the better flagship to get. They blew our minds away with the 6T and all the gesture features that it could do. They'll blow us away even further with the OnePlus 7T.

Can't wait for another 6 months just to see an minor upgrade.
the hidden pop up camera can't make me feel safe when it is in my pocket!
I'm probably going to get a 7 pro at some point because I lack self control. But my biggest complaint is that they're improving things that were already good about the 6T rather than trying to fix the weak parts. Camera looks to still be soso, battery life seems to have gotten worse, 7 pro still doesn't have proper sides to grip and looks to be incredibly hard to hold. Hopefully I'm wrong, either way I'll probably have one in my pocket soon

Haha, yeah well.. u got a better self control than me, i did click the button this morning, comin from 6t too, abt the cam.. nobody has beaten pixie, google post processing heaven, but from what I've seen, cam is close to it and s10, well as long as the shutter is faster than 6t am happy, biggest concern for me was ( and still is) the motion on the 6t, try taking pics of kids or movin objects... Battery well, some reporting 7h sot some 4, cant see the phone gettin less than 5 so that's basically a full day of use
Worse battery, slower face unlock, bigger than 6t and super expenve phone.
Not worth

That is pretty impressive specs...work on Verizon? My 6T does and my account is setup to LTE with them...but does it support the proper LTE bands VZW uses? Otherwise..not so much an option.
What about the new Asus Zenfone 6? That is a pretty impressive phone, except it is and IPS screen and not AMOLED...otherwise, it has beast specs for a $550 phone as well.

I'm going to have to switch to another carrier once my credited BOGO phone monthly credit is gone in 10 months/paid off on VZW. Otherwise to leave, going to cost me $300...so yeah...then will switch to GSM carrier so I won't have these issues anymore, Verizon sucks...

Just picked up the T-Mobile 7 Pro in store. In the process of setting up. It's going to take getting used to. For anyone wanting to know, it does have the T-Mobile splash screen, does not have a screen protector. Also there was an update oot of the box.
