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.

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They just released the OnePlus 3 in o2 stores in the UK about a month ago, so immediately making it outdated with a newer model when they have so much exposure in a retail shop in front of the general population, seems like a very bad idea.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!

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.

new phones with at least a 6" screen?

so hard to find info on this. i may be in the market for a new phone but still haven't upgraded because i don't want a smaller screen. anyone have a recommendation for a phone for at least a 6" screen or should i just stay with my nexus?

You should take a look at the Mi mix from Xiaomi .
I think the look and specs are great .
Only thing what sucks is the price .

1+3T ? hopefully ?

Huawei Mate 8, it has a 6 inch screen, dope device I might say which I recently got.

The Mi Note 2 is just a tad smaller at 5.7" but with killer specs. I ordered two new devices last week to check out as a future replacement for my Nexus 6. I got both the Le Eco Le Pro3 which comes in at 5.5" and the Le Max 2 is 5.7" respectively and on their way. I love the size of my Nexus 6. It fits my catchers mit hands perfectly. On a side note about the size difference between the Mi Mix and the Nexus 6, the Mi Mix is almost identical in overal size.

It should, It works with T-Mobile 4g LTE..

I think they are both 5.7", but I'm considering the Axon 7 and the LG V20.
I'm not a huge fan of LG, but the newer devices look decent. They also have removable battery, and SD support. Sadly, single down-firing speaker. On the up side, the TMobile version has an unlockable bootloader, which is absolutely required in any device I would buy. ZeroLemon has announced an extended battery, which I loved on my Note 3. It sounds like there are some decent tempered glass screen protectors as well. TMobile sells the device, so things like wifi calling are built in, which is nice for a lot of people, even though I don't use it much. It's also already on Android 7, which is nice. I do think it's overpriced, but they are selling out with the Note 7 fiasco, so perhaps not so much.
Axon 7 has dual forward facing speakers, which is really nice on the Nexus 6. It doesn't have a removable battery though does have SD. Screen protectors are harder to come by as well. Bootloader can be unlocked, and ZTE is even providing development support for a CM build. Once that works, the ROM development really accelerates. No wifi calling, they keep saying "soon". So if you need that, be aware. The US version seems to be getting somewhat frequent ROM updates for security etc, but oddly they don't seem to be updating the EU model as much. Android 7 is also "soon", so something to be aware of. I haven't upgraded my Nexus 6 yet, so it's not a huge issue for me.
As I would want it for development reasons, kernel source is required which leaves out Mediatek CPUs etc.. I also like that the stock ROMs are reported to be reasonably decent. I'm not a big fan of the changes made for the sake of changes that you get with the Chinese-market devices. They just have different preferences in software than I do, apparently. The LG and ZTE stock ROMs aren't too annoying.

I know some people in China I am going to try to get them to send me a Mi Mix. They are selling the 6gb version for around $500 US in China and I very highly doubt you'll be able to pick one up in the US for that price

Should i get a oneplus 3t?

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.

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.

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.

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

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
