The original OnePlus 3 may soon be replaced with higher spec'd variant!!

http://www.phonearena.com/news/OneP...rapped-permanently-new-model-incoming_id86487
The rumor appears to be picking up steam and it really does seem plausible... What do you guys think? I wont feel cheated if it comes to fruition. I bought my OP3 the very day it came out back in June, and I've enjoyed every second of it since.
They'll definitely have to announce it, and they have to do so under a different name because the changes do appear to be significant, so hopefully no one will get screwed over buying the original OP3 one week and the next week the OP3+ comes out.
What do you guys think? A 2K LED screen and Snapdragon 821 would be pretty dope. Of course, it probably would need a 4000mah battery and 6 inch screen to accommodate the battery.

It would be a d!ck move by OnePlus for them to do this just a few months after the OnePlus 3 was launched.

And they will not!!!! For the price.... This is the best phone.... With best cutting corners!!!!

If they did do it it would still be a 1080p lcd screen, the thing which would bug everyone though would be if they did release it and it came with Android N out the box lol.

No big deal to me. The op3 is solid and I'd rather wait for the op4. Definitely need the price to remain 399 or less.

Thanks for sharing this news. I was shocked at first when I saw the headline, A premium OnePlus 3+ with SD821 is rumored!!! Hell no!
But rumored phone specs are not in my choice. 6" display is too large. LED > LCD So still the OnePlus 3 is still the best choice for me. handy and powerfull.

Just hope OnePlus doesn't go the same direction that Google went with the Pixel phones.

This will end the rumors

I just ordered a OP3 yesterday and then read this news today. It doesn't bother me though. The reason I bought the OP3 is because of the variety of ROMS, MultiROM support, and NetHunter support. All those things will have to start over for this "refresh" version. It will require a new XDA forum. It's a new phone model. They would be doing a huge disservice to try to sell it as OP3.
Also, like someone above said, the 6" screen will be too big. I've had a Nexus 6 for a year and a half and I'm ready for something that comfortably fits in my pocket.

I don't think this will happen. I hope it doesn't.
They just released the OnePlus 3 in o2 stores in the UK about a month ago, so immediately making it outdated with a newer model when they have so much exposure in a retail shop in front of the general population, seems like a very bad idea. It's already better than the competition so no need to change it just yet. Let the holiday period revel in the OnePlus 3 glory!

The OnePlus 3 is a phenomenal phone, much better than the OnePlus One and that phone was phenomenal too. Definitely the best phone to come out this year. No regrets!!

Well rumors about op3 model might be real

Exactly the same reason I just ordered a One+3. I really enjoy the Nexus 6, but I want a phone sligtly smaller with a "near stock" android experience.
Looking forward to this phone, hope it ships within a few weeks.

One thing I like about Oneplus is that Carl Pei seems to be pretty straight up. Not many directors of cell phone manufacturers can be seen actively engaging with users on forums either.

If someone came up to me tomorrow and asked if I would swap my SD820/OLED for a SD821/LCD, I would say no.
In 2 or 3 years time, the speed difference between the SD820 & 821 may become important. Until that point, I'd rather being looking at my OLED every day over an LCD. As far as I'm concerned, LCD = The past.

A OnePlus 3 with an LCD screen!?! I'm sorry, Snapdragon 821 or not, it's simply NOT a OnePlus 3 without an AMOLED screen!
Just call it the OnePlus 3.1

Carl pei said yesterday that oneplus will be sticking to optic amolled displays. So I don't see any other displays coming in future

I was thinking about getting the OnePlus 3 this weekend after the disappointment with the Google Pixel pricing, but with all this talk about what the new 'A3010' could be, it would be difficult to place down this amount of money knowing there's potentially an updated model of the OP3 coming out within the next few months. I have been searching for a new phone to replace my LG G4, and the OP3 seems like the perfect phone as it matches quite a specific criteria i had planned out. (SD820, 3GB RAM, AMOLED 1920x1080, 64GB Internal Storage, Fingerprint Reader)
The OP3 is now being sold in O2 stores here in the UK, which offers me much quicker alternative to ordering from the official OnePlus website and being presented with a month-long wait for delivery. But these stores are asking for £346 including a £10 top-up which i will never use, in comparison with the £329 on the website which is already a little beyond my available budget. Personally, i think £346 for a phone which is approaching 5 months old when it was only £309 on release in the UK (Increase of £20 due to Brexit) is difficult to get too enthusiastic about buying. Of course it is a miracle how OnePlus can sell such an astonishing phone at such a low price range, and the reason for the price increase was beyond their control due to how the Pound has fallen following the EU Referendum. However, it is a shame as the phone was already beyond my allocated budget and has increased in price by £20 for online purchases over the past 6 months!
I am hoping at least that if an updated model comes out with the Snapdragon 821 at a similar affordable price bracket (£300-350), then it would make more sense for me to purchase that as i would not be buying a device which is already five months down the line and gradually falling behind competitors such as the Google Pixel. Despite my restricted budget, i would much rather spend a small premium getting an up-to-date phone with the latest processor equipped, than buying the OnePlus 3 for £20 more than it was originally listed for and getting marginally outdated specifications.

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.

Any thoughts for a Nexus 6P or 5x

Eventhough I love my N6, my most important point is the battery live. I run the Beltz Rom and happy with it.
Are you experienced with the Nexus 6P or 5x and willing to share your cons and pro against the N6?
Perhaps when I find a good second hand offer, I like to switch, or use it as a second device.

I can speak for Nexus 5x. For me,it is better in every aspect but I prefer performance over screen or stereo speakers. Unfortunately ,both devices die suddenly. I would recommend 6p, better in every way and less 6p devices are dying.. at the end it's a gamble.
Only buy one with warranty, otherwise you should pass

Thanks for your reply. After reading more about the cpu bootloop errors of these devices, I think I skip my idea of changing my N6. Or it must be an offer I can’t resist.
Thanks for the advice.

To be honest, I would tell you to skip all of Google's phones, but the Pixel series may be something to consider. I have always loved the Nexus series, but they're more fun for tinkering, not as daily drivers. All Nexus devices I have owned have had known problems and/or bugs that others have reported.
With the Nexus 7 I was curse after I gave my first one away (which was perfect, rest in peace that tablet). The second one had the infamous creaking on the left hand side. Another one after that had the terrible wifi plague. A third had the speaker problem I cannot quite recall. The 2nd gen Nexus 7 was beautiful and worked perfectly, I cannot say I have complaints about it at all, other than the first one which had it's charge port fail in a matter of about 2 weeks of use. The Galaxy Nexus was my favorite phone, and I kept it as a relic until some time last year. The Nexus 4 was ruined with the throttling update, sadly, so I went with it's brother, the LG Optimus G. The Nexus 5 was the worst phone with a Snapdragon 800 SoC, and the battery life was very bad. It was however one of my favorite phones although again, I gave it up for it's brother the LG G2. The Nexus 6 is...very hot, and mine has the speaker volume issue that many users report. It is the only Nexus I never got rid of and am currently using all over again due to specific circumstances. The Nexus 6P was great, but the Snapdragon 810 had the overheat issues that also ruined it's performance in games and made the battery life unpredictable. I loved the screen, the body, the camera (which was a major component on the 6P) and the sound quality, but after reading about the CPU thing, I'm glad I didn't stick to it as with my luck, I would've been one to have it happen to me.
I haven't heard complaints about the 2nd gen Pixels, but my trust in them has simply faded away. I was a die hard Google fan, but Google simply let most of it's users down by not being responsible. Sure these devices had warranties, but you'd waste time to get another new one with the same problem. I moved on from their devices and fell in love with Xiaomi smartphones. Their updates do have bugs from time to time, but I've not had hardware problems. I've gambled a lot with their smartphones as a US buyer; there is no warranty here, nor much of a way to repair it should something go wrong, and it has not let me down.
If you're considering the 5X or 6P because you're in the market for a used phone, I'd honestly tell you to stick to the Nexus 6 a bit longer and instead go for something new with a balance of affordability, great battery life AND overall performance such as the OnePlus 6. If you can afford one, perhaps save up for a Pixel 2 or Pixel XL 2.

Or jump to OnePlus...

oneplus 3t or 5t is good choice for battery life my friend get 7h Sot with his oneplus 3t

Looking for sub $200 phone, Nexus 6 makes sense?

Hello folks,
Looking for a sub-$200 phone with great XDA community support.
Nexus 6 is enough hardware for my requirements (almost no gaming) and its XDA support is great. Hardly any device has 31 ROMs available for it. I would like the device to last for 2 years at least. Do you guys think that the device will have good community support for another year or so?
Worth buying a mint condition device for about $160?
Thanks in advance.

At this point, expect to have to change a battery soon (at least within your 2-year window). The phone was great for its day and the 6" display is really nice to have. It is still functional, but a bit long in the tooth. I have to run corporate security software on my phone and can not root, so I am replacing my 6 soon (I don't like having my last security update be from a year ago), but I could see the 6 work in a different use case for longer.

I wouldn't buy it as the batteries of all N6 are getting old.
You might get similar performance on new devices.
Additionaly having 31 ROMs doesn't mean you have 31 developers, as most of the ROMs rely on commits 2-3 people do.

For $160 I consider it a good buy, if you don't mind changing the battery. A new phone at that price may well have a much worse build quality.
If need be, the Nexus is moderately easy to repair, and you can get all the parts cheaply from China.
Though we only have a few expert developers, even less experienced devs can usually manage to keep existing roms up-to-date.
Oreo roms are running great, Pie is available but with some bugs. We may never get Android Q, but I'm certain that we'll keep getting updated O and P roms for years.

I searched for a month or two few months back. Got a mint N6 64GB for $100 (obo) off fleabay. I wouldn't pay $160 but again my N6 was a want not a need.

I have two, both purchased used. One is a daily driver, the other I test on to avoid issues on the DD. I see no need to upgrade hardware—yet. When the price of the Pixel XLs come down? IDK.

I recently upgraded from the N6 after 3+ years. It's a great phone but is starting to show it's age. I picked up the Essential phone for 200 on prime day and the snapdragon 835 is much faster than the 805 in this phone. The Essential phone is much quicker with loading web sites, apps, multitasking. When I pick up the N6 now it's annoying after using a faster device. If i had limited budget I would get a 6p or Pixel Xl. Even a One Plus 3t would be better.

Personally I bought a Nexus 6 for the first time back in May 2018. Its my daily driver and I love it. Everything works and I get great battery life compared to most phones I've used. I consistantly get a little over 5 hrs SOT and only charge my phone when I go to bed. I play some Angry Birds at times but mostly used it for Youtube, web browsing, texting and calling. I bought mine refurbished on amazon for 135.00 USD.

I missed that deal but again that time everybody was so beating Essential phone with bad camera that I wasn't too sure if I really wanted to get that. But if it comes to $250, I am getting it for sure. Currently, its for $309 on amazon.
I know, one should take benchmarks with a grain of salt. 6p's benchmarks are below Nexus 6 so I am not too sure whats best in terms of performance. I am not looking for gaming performance at all. As long as it works as a daily driver, I am happy.
I could not find One Plus 3T or Pixel XL below $250.
Another option, I am considering Galaxy S7 as well.

FWIW, you can get a new Nexus 6 64GB on amazon right now for $180: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00R1984I8/

It's or best offer.

I'm basically in the same boat. My N6 has been suffering from battery drain for the last month or two. Trying to decide between the Pixel XL or 2XL. This phone has been a game changer and thats why i've been holding off on replacing it after 3+years. Try looking on swappa for cheaper options for your phone. Its top right/ green button.

Sold my Nexus 5 and got an used N6 a month back for secondary use. My 7 inch tab was giving problems, so got this as a replacement to watch videos/Movies (Love the display) and browsing. Running on stock Nougat (Waiting for stable pie rom). I am happy with its performance and build.

So I started the reasons not to buy 7 pro thread

And now I took the plunge and ordered the 12gb nebula blue version lol
I'm bracing myself for rma hell, touch sensitive, ghost touch, camera, stuttering,battery, heating and overall quality control issues. Hope it's a worthy replacement to my 512gb midnight black note 9 which has been flawless. Looking forward to giving my final verdict.

I guess you got ?. BTW... There is already topic about this.

Yeh this phone is complete ****, that's why I love it!

Looking forward to not reading it.

Why would replace your flawless phone that's not even one 1 year old?

Only reason is for no notch and larger display. I upgrade when new notes or galaxy phones come out with larger displays then previous but since note 10 has a notch oneplus only other option. If the 7 pro is good I don't see a need to upgrade for a long time because the display cant get any bigger now. So I hope it doesn't disappoint since I've been happy with Samsung.

Thats fair. But I'm not a oneplus fanboy and I'm sure some other people might appreciate a more critical review.

you have to like the OnePlus 7 Pro for its bootloader unlock potential
Bootloader unlock and unobstructed screen are the best two points of the OnePlus 7 Pro, IMHO. If you live in the US, buying Samsung flagships is frustrating due to bootloader locked Snapdragon variants. If you focus on the positive benefits of the OnePlus 7 Pro, you'll be satisfied.

Me neither. Also will appreciate a more critical review, just not yours. You gave a long lists of reasons in your previous thread to not buy it without ever having held the device. So why should your review carry any weight?

Samsung S2,S6,S7e,S8+ user and this was the only device that swooned me away from Samsung. You're gonna love it. (With some minor withdrawals if you enjoyed some of the Samsung add-ons)
Also, don't approach the purchase with negativity, but with anticipation.

Most of the critical reviews were on the release and 9.5.3 FW's. Since the 9.57 the issues people compalined about are gone. No ghost touches (I never had them) and the camera is right there with the Pixel phones now and should actually get a little better still with future updates. The IP rating (most useless thing to cry about) and the Wireless charging (isn't needed, somethign to just cry about) are 2 "features" that aren't needed. I don't have womens hands so it's not that much bigger then some of the other phones out there and the weight is about the same as the Note's and the IPhone Max's weight.
IF those reviewers did a second review after the 9.5.7 update most are completely on board now and don't have anything to complain about.

Bracing for stuttering ?? And your coming from a note 9. That's priceless ??

Well that sounds encouraging. I did notice less complaints over at the oneplus support forums and I'm looking forward to getting it, now that it's getting more polished.

The thing is they almost doubled the price for this phone. I'm wondering how much loyal people will be if they keep increasing the price with each successor. I had the first oneplus phone on release. For the price it was ahead of their time. They should of fixed all the bugs before releasing this one because people's expectations are higher now especially since they loose their value fast.

I just bought my oneplus 6T a few months ago for 550. Last month I upgraded to my OnePlus 7 pro for 669 with 8 gigs of Ram and 256 Gb of UFS 3.0 memory. I paid about 150 more. So in what world is that double the price. And OnePlus 7 buyers are actually paying LESS. Coming from a Samsung user OnePlus is one hell of a bargain.

For Pete's sake - that is NONSENSE. A ridiculous statement, patently untrue and can be confirmed by anyone in seconds. How old are you anyway?
You have zero credibility. None. Are you trolling?

The prices of these phones will keep going up as long as the big mfrs (SEC/AAPL) keep raising theirs. I got a 1TB S10+ ceramic for $1279 and that was $$$ but the original price of $1599? And don't even get me started on folding phones. Had one preordered because, well you know, I'm a sucker for it I guess. But times are changing and it seems like innovation is slowing down. I mean, come on, how much more do they expect (a phone) to do?!

You do know that OnePlus One was released with an open source CyanogenMod (No software team expense) and with everything mediocre apart from the processor??
And OP1 is what OP7 is right now, not OP7Pro.
And I don't know if OP7 is launched in Canada, but where I live, it's currently almost half the price of S10 as on amazon (US$890 for S10 8G 128GB, US$475 for OP7 6G 128GB).
