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!

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 ??

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.

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).

Well it's a preety bad buy for the money you are throwing into and its not even close to the flagship phones out there. For the same price samsung note is a better option by a looooooooooong shot.
and funny part is few phones are having a lick of lollipop before you even get a nexus 6 in hand. there will be even more phones on lollipop before u get it in your pocket late November. so why shall someone buy a nexus 6?

i am not opposed to touchwiz. but i am not looking to do another samsung product. i usually just run the google launcher on my s3 anyway. i thought this phone with those specs would come out and destroy the competition performance wise.

I've never seen a carriage where the horse didn't belong in front. Based on the reviews of those who handle every device, I'm not sure the average consumer could add anything constructive to the collective information that's already out there. Almost all of the reviews that are out now are pretty down on the phone on several fronts (battery life, overall performance, camera, screen light output and the screen in general). All of this has definitely made me question my decision to get it. I am also in the "no more Samsung for me" camp so I will probably skip upgrading at all this year and hope that may/june brings something more interesting, or even this time next year. Being on Sprint doesn't help since they don't get half of the good phones that come out. As a Note 3 owner/user I don't use most of the phablet features and hate TW/Knox. Although I tempered my expectations about the Nexus 6, I am still disappointed with what the reviews are saying.

So I have only seen three reviews, they do not state anything that you are saying. Battery life is Average according to all reviews. Performance is amazing, except some studders but that is likely fixed with todays OTA. Camera has been nothing but positive, screen has been very positive for natural color. Can you link the review you are talking about?

We both know the phone won't get 24hours of battery life. The few reviews I watched said they managed to get at least 4-5 hours of screen on time. That's fine for me. Can't really see anyone having a problem with that. Define overall performance? I have seen nothing but reviewers praise the device for outstanding performance and great fluidity. Isn't scree light output and the screen subjective anyway? What you may find to be a bad screen, I may not.
Even if this device isn't that great, there really aren't that many other options right now. The Note 4 would be great, except it runs TW which is horrible. What's next for flagship phones? The iPhone 6 plus? Yeah, I think not lol.
On the contrary, I am hoping that Samsung strips its pathetic software for the Galaxy S6 and rewrites it. I want it on par with with a stock android experience, or at least fluid like such.
It should be noted that Eric Limer of Gizmodo did get well over 24 hours of battery. He said he woke up on day 2 with 20%, and with 10 minutes on the charger was able to make it to 6 pm on day 2.
I'll be canceling my order as I decided on the Xperia Z3 instead. I'm pretty disappointed in the reviews of the N6, I was hoping on better battery life.

Your comparing apples to oranges on that one. The Note 4 may have "beast" like specs, yes, however, it DOES NOT perform like it does. Its extremely laggy and hiccups.

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.

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.
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.

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.

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.
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
I can't believe Samsung again made this phone with the same old 2.0 QC Wtf? No finger print scaner in the display. Same old design as last years model and only 2.0 QC and only Android 8.0 what a shame. The only pro is a bigger battery that's it. I don't care about the camera or the BT S Pen.
Then don't buy it, it's a simple as that. There's really no need to create a topic under Questions and Answers rambling about how much the phone is a disappointment to you.
if it wasnt for Samsung pay, I would not buy Samsung. where's the F is LG pay ?

I am not buying it I will stick with the Note 8. Next I will create a topic any time I want don't read it if you don't like me making a topic about the failures of the Note 9. Don't get mad because you got suckered into a clone of last years phone.

Great points, spoken like a true juvenile. Mad? Not at all. I was merely stating the fact that you posted in the Question & Answer section and what you submitted was neither a question nor an answer. Maybe next time try posting in the Guides, News and Discussions sub forum. Regardless, I don't care nor will bother reading any other useless rants you decided to post going forward. Save those for your social media followers as I'm sure you have a legion of people who are so eager to read your opinion on the Note 9.
this phone charges in ~1h40min from 0% to 100%, and after 30mins charging i have ~50%, good enough for me
Lol @ charging speeds. ?
Phone charges plenty fast. Lasts 2 days sometimes.

The 9 smashes the note 8 off the planet for many reasons. 512gb storage, faster, smoother, more battery life, more ram, better screen, much much better audio and speakers, better camera. I am sure there are more reasons. Note 8 sucks so bad.

512gb? I don't even use my 64gb or my 256gb card in my note 8. Better screen? Barely better speakers yes not a big deal. Camera I could care less about I take about 1 pic a year. Better battery Ok. That's it for 1,000 dollars? Wow and it looks exactly like my phone. I would take a design change in a fingerprint scanner in display over all that other stuff that you just mentioned
You don't have to try to convince me that it's an upgrade worth $1,200 from the Note 8 cause it's not. Also multiple phones are about to drop with Android 9.0. The Note 9 will get 9.0 in about another year good luck
Samsung threw a couple of low end features in the Note9 because they didn't want a repeat of the S9 flop. You know the reason why it flopped was because it looked exactly like the S8 like the Note 9 does.
The Note 9 is a money grab phone for Samsung. They just put that out fast to focus on the 10 which will have all the features the Note9 should have.
it's ridiculous to charge 1000$ for a phone with outdated technology quick charge 2.0
that's like buying a 70000$ sport car that goes 0-60 in 8 seconds. WTF

I see it as a sports car that goes plenty fast and 40 mpg. QC 2.0 is fine. I don't want my sealed battery getting hot and bothered for 2 years. Some of us aren't renting phones for a year to get the next big thing.
I'm plenty happy with mine. Yes, this is what the Note 8 should have been last year. But since I got the Note 8 more than half off due to the previous Note 7 fiasco, it was a no brainer to trade the 8 in to take advantage of the latest promo for the 9. It's looks are not improved, but boy its performance sure is!

no single iteration is worth the full price to upgrade to. no need to have anyone convince anyone else of this fact.
now since you won't be upgrading, goodbye.
Dude. Why did OP start a post whining about QC 2.0 then half the replies to his post are him grasping at straws dissing the note9. Weird. Many facts were known about note9 and people are still buying it. Yes it is pricey. But Samsung finally pulled off an iterative update with minor details to perfect the minor flaws. Many of us have not been paying full price with trades or leases. I for one paid full price and don't regret it because of how close to perfect this phone is. Probably last time I pay this much for a flagship though. Hardware and software have been getting so good it would be ludicrous going forward to not wait a few months for price to come down and OEMs egos and greed to be put in check.
(As an aside, it might be possible we could see Made in Africa soon. There are already items like clothes and minor things being made there. China has developed enough that they're looking for cheaper labor and have been investing in Africa. I have mixed feelings on this but the West neglected their relationship and China has been putting schools there. I mention this because you should keep an eye on it for so many reasons. I don't know if China will move smartphone factories there but they are putting cell and smartphones in the hands of Africans which will have an effect that is hard to predict. Waiting to see Africans speaking Mandarin become common.)

I'm getting about 50 percent better battery life. It's faster, massive memory, more ram and has more features which I will use. It isn't a clone it's an upgrade. If you dont want to upgrade then dont if you cant afford to then too bad, get a better job. Dont come on forums crying and calling people suckers who want to and can afford to upgrade if they want to. I had the 4 the 7 the 8 and now the 9. I will be due a network upgrade when the 10 is out and I'll be getting that too.
Can't afford it please I can buy you and 10 Note 9s if I so please. I don't buy phones that are thrown out there. You me and every one else was expecting much more from the Note 9 so don't act like it's just me. I will wait for the real upgrade 10. Price doesn't concern me when it's worth it. You know another company that puts out phones that look exactly alike and hold back features Apple why? Because they can get away with it and so will Samsung as long as suckers like you buy these phones.

They have been doing the same thing for years. Innovate, refine, innovate, refine. If you thought that the note 9 was going to be some radical concept then you're a silly boy.
Ps. I doubt you could buy me a sandwich judging by your massive tantrums. If you ask Santa nicely I'm sure he will bring you a note 12.
