[INDIA] OnePlus 5 Indian Thread - OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion

Hi all!
OnePlus definitely seems to be considering India to be one of its prime markets and is releasing it on 22nd June 2017 - just 2 days after the global launch.
The invites were on sale on 12th June 2017 for INR 999 and included a whole bunch of goodies.
https://oneplusstore.in/launch
I managed to purchased the invite and will be attending the event. Hoping OnePlus has some more surprises for us in store!
Lets discuss what we are looking forward to most in the phone and who is sure of picking it up! Let us see if the people attending the event can get in touch beforehand so that we can meet in person there!

Hopefully I shall get it if I am able to order in time from Amazon on the 22nd, I prefer Amazon or buy from an experience store rather than buying from the Popups or launch events

Even I was planning on buying from Amazon/OnePLus store. The invite code and voucher for INR 999 will be valid for 3 days it seems so it is not mandatory to purchase at the event. Of course if it is unbelievably awesome I might just end up buying it immediately!

Buying it on the launch day may give you some free accessories like back cover just like they did for the 3T so now that you have the invite code and the pass you should go for it. I am from New Delhi so the popup would come here by 28th and Amazon would deliver before then being prime with them.

had you bought oneplus 3 before they launched 3t? i hope they don't do something similar with OP5 and launch OP5T within few months!

No they won't. 3t was a special case or something. Just one phone a year would however not keep them in the limelight for a full year so they would most likely pull off a OnePlus x5 later in October. Not sure though, just a hunch. And yeah, I bought the OnePlus3 on the launch day as well

advantages:
bragging rights, able to get your hands on the phone before anyone else, possible freebies like cases
disadvantages:
usually first batch of phones *might* have any teething troubles which usually get fixed in subsequent batches.. most companies wont be able to stress test it for normal usage.. software issues can be ironed out by updates but not hardware issues like what happened with Note 7

thank you! my primary phone gave up on me recently. making do with a redmi2 temporarily, but hate the lag. used to use nexus4 till a year back.. what a wonderful device that was!
really need a value for money device - onepplus3t and oneplus5 are in consideration set. not really concerned about bragging rights just need a great fast phone for work if oneplus was still selling 128gb version of oneplus3t, i'd buy it right now!

Really disappointed that there is no popup event in Pune...

Will you buy the OnePlus Three T?

Or wait for the OnePlus 4?
Btw first
Already have op3, will skip this and buy the 4
I already have the Oneplus 3 but i think that if Oneplus 3T has a larger battery, i make the change
I've waited 4 weeks for my +3 to finnaly arrive yesterday, only to find out after 6 months a newer version is alreadycomming. I'll probably use my option to refund this version and for just 80$ more buy the newer version.
I've had the OP3 for 3+ months so I won't be getting the 3T. I'll just get the OP4 or probably the next Google phone.
If you already have a OP3 then do not rush into buying this one immediately even though it has good specs. Wait until OP 4 comes out. Compare specs/price. And then make a choice.
No, because my OP3 arrived on October 29th, making November 13th the last day I could return it for a refund...which is two days before the OP3T announcement. ಠ_ಠ
I was thinking of buying OP3 this thanksgiving so I guess i will take a look at the specs and if all looks good, i will go ahead and buy it.
I have OnePlus 3 since mid-October, so nope, I'm not going to buy 3T.
P.S. I'm very disappointing about company decision make and sell new flagship in several month after announcing OP3. I hope they will support OP3.
P.P.S Has anyone seen information about OnePlus Pixel?

My Nexus 5 just died so I know I will be buying it.

It's a OnePlus 3 with the build.prop changed for Google Assistant work on that phone.
I've got a OP3 on order, due to be despatched on the 15th. I'm naïvely hoping they upgrade us for free, or at least give the option to upgrade without having to wait another 3 weeks
after hearing this news i hate those whole one plus team, and i will never bought oneplus product again...
No SD card slot, no way. LG V20 with microsd and removable battery.
I actually prefer autumn/winter release after new Android is out and everything. Hope they continue this trend.

OnePlus 3T North America

Who here is looking to grab one of these in NA?
Me
I'll be buying one tomorrow! Assuming they go on sale tomorrow!
I'm ready !
I am waiting for it to go on sale, I am going to grab one myself
Launching the 22nd still wondering whats going on with the oneplus 3; I don't care for the 3t as it has no major improvements
Was really hoping to order this today! Didn't they do that with the OP3 when it launched? Announced it, then immediately after the announcement, you could order.
Really considering getting this waiting to see when it goes on sale.
I will very likely get one myself.

it will take a few weeks after the launch but oneplus developer has said that after that updates will be identical for 3 and 3t and there will be full support for your device. There is an article on the front of xda about it

Im actually looking to buy a OP3 but might as well fork over $40 more for the 3t. I wonder how long the 3t will last before going out of stock in NA.
I plan on buying on one to replace my moto x pure, my wife is still using my oneplus one and its still running better than most of these newer cells ...
Wish they would makes these world phones, well I should say, compatible with CDMA networks. I've anyways wanted one, but am on Verizon

You won't be able to. OnePlus shut down sales of OP3 permanently. Which is sad because a lot of devs in the forum are saying they won't be upgrading, and won't be supporting.
I myself am going to buy 3T. I wanted to buy 3, but held off when the rumors started about 3T. I need a replacement for my Nexus 5.

https://www.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3t-xda-review-what-has-changed-and-by-how-much/
Multiple articles on oneplus 3 on xda. One with the owner of oneplus or the head development and they state that after a few weeks oneplus3 and oneplus 3t will be getting the same upgrades at the same time and support is not ending. Will be a few weeks lag but then it'll all be gravy

Midnight Black OnePlus 5 with 8GB RAM is now ready for immediate dispatch

The Midnight Black OnePlus 5 will be shipped out immediately after you've ordered it.
OnePlus announced at the start of the year that one of its resolutions for 2017 was to tackle shipping delays by making its products available for immediate dispatch, which sees the company shipping a phone mere hours after you've placed the order.
Just got one today
I don't mean to be rude, but this isnt really a forum contribution since every oneplus owner got this email.

This is good information for non Oneplus owners though. First time OnePlus prospective purchasers may not have signed up for an account yet.
Sounds like they are having a hard time moving units after jello effect so they are sending emails to people trying to get them to buy. If anyone wants to buy one they can see on the site themselves that they are available if they had interest to buy one.

Well if you come to xda and have interest in buying one I'm sure you would put in an order already or be checking the website to see when it becomes available immediately. If you wanted one it makes 0 sense to wait for one to be available immediately on the site to buy though.

oneplus 5 is selling alot of phones

And it was necessary to open a tread for this? It's XDA not Facebook.

Me and my OnePlus 5 had so much fun at the strip this weekend because I live in Las Vegas I had my ebony wood case on and OK Google and VoLTE, so much fun, I got literally 10 compliments on my Evony wood case and my phone was able to help me do so much and I can customize almost everything about it and it was oos so everything worked which was fantastic plus it's the OnePlus 5 so my phone never gets hot no matter what iI throw at it. When I was getting a quick dash charge everyone was looking at my red OnePlus wire. My OnePlus was getting iT at the casino, a lot of people just found out about OnePlus in America, it's more popular abroad, but we like it. After someone spends 20 minutes talking with me they're going to want to buy OnePlus 5
When your GRiNdiN & you it's getting real, oos was there for me, it works like for example like RR, BUT OOS Works, I was able to dash charge real quick, I use some mods and hacks for convenience and I was able to accomplish what I was trying to accomplish. Oos is more stable to me when I really need my phone compared to a custom ROM, but I do feel lucky that I have I have oos that is not bloated and compatible. OnePlus is like the only business that listens to what we have to say and tries their best to implement a feat or add a feat the best they can at the lowest price they can. so.. I feel lucky because I really can't afford $800 a pop plus accessories from another company & I love the Karbon, red, & ebony wood cases set have i love the chat support that offer, everyone is knowledgeable about the product to so for me OnePlus in the Win win
P. S. I've sold every OnePlus phone I've ever had in 2 hours or less by posting it on Craigslist they sell fast I sold my midnight black OnePlus 3t for $420 after I bought my OnePlus 5. I sold my OnePlus 2 a couple months ago EASY FOR 150 EZ_peasy
So don't forget you can always sell your OnePlus 5 after you buy your OnePlus 5T and if you save 20 bucks a month till November, you got this
This is a thread of a fanboy being so butthurt that I created a thread asking if OnePlus 5 is selling poorly that he had to create a thread saying it selling alot to make himself feel better :laugh:
Someone just close this thread.

Man, let's not. I'm sure we're all having fun looking at this guy going on a fanboy rampage that Apple fanboys will be proud of.
Oh yeah I'm a fan boy out I had my bright red OnePlus 5 case on OK Google volte a VPN service OOS and, all I did was buy a few apps now my phone is pretty close to Resurrection Remix and some parts are better actually a lot of parts are better Resurrection Remix( Everything works) OnePlus 5 Dash charge is the business Emily rogenski is famous in USA for real so how OnePlus pulled her as a small business shows they got heart she's like the hottest girl in America my phone got mods my phone got battery my phone got cases my phone got a bright red charger that's hella nice if I have any problems I can contact OnePlus via chat instantly on my products ship as soon as possible and if they don't OnePlus and say sorry about it and to tell you the truth all my products to come on time oh guess what on my OnePlus phones they sell hella easy so I'm always upgrading to the newest OnePlus model and guess what OnePlus got the coolest cases out there oh yeah and Carl's a DJ also oh and guess what I can tether great on oos. The OnePlus 5 is also very affordable and I couldn't afford to upgrade like this if I didn't have a phone I was so affordable with such a huge community it makes it easy for me to sell the phone I really believe OnePlus tries to help us the best that I can you got to understand there are small business competing with Samsung

Unlikely. I checked with a few reputed stores in Mumbai, no 1 has it or plans on having it. I asked croma on launch day, they too said no.
Both of them show sold out on FK right now. Any idea if these are going to come back for sale anytime soon?

No specific time. I guess those restocking units are the ones cancelled by buyers who bought on first sale and changed mind later(128 gigs isn't enough for all).

Last time I owned a pixel, it was a pixel 2 and the service was pretty good. The service center would provide a pickup and drop service within Mumbai. So let's hope it remains the same.
