OnePlus 5 Specifications
Snapdragon 835 (2.45 GHz)
5.5-inch 1080p DCI-P3 screen
3.300 mAh battery
6GB/8GB RAM LPDDR4X
64 GB/128 GB UFS 2.1 storage
0.2-second fast fingerprint reader
dual camera (20 MP f/2.6 and 16 MP f/1.7)
Bluetooth 5.0, LTE Cat 12
Price: US$ 479
The dimensions should be fairly similar to 3T and Oppo R11.
1080p OLED screen + Extremely efficient 10nm SD835 + 3300 mAh => thats a great combination (on paper) for a device with great SoT/Battery-life.
If we are to take cues from the Oppo R11 reviews the camera setup looks exactly the same as R11 where the second camera is a telephoto lens for 2x zoom and portrait bokeh purposes. If they score 89-90 on DxO mark this is going to be one of the best cameras on a smartphone for 2017.
With the exception of a faster processor, more storage and dual cameras, doesn't really appear too different from the 3T.
This video explains the design of the Oneplus 5 and why oneplus probably went in the direction where they took best design elements out of 3T and marry that to the iPhone 7s design. The reasoning behind the placement of dual cameras and the odd antenna lines on the top seems to make sense.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qcfmTt7vwMU
My take on the design... It's most likely going into a case or getting a skin slapped onto it, which will help differentiate the phones. Then there is also the fact that the iPhone 7 is a good looking phone...and it feels good in the hand.
I'm excited for the phone. No doubts about getting it. I already know the first thing I'm going to do with it... Take pictures of my Nexus 6P and post it on Swappa.

With that speccs and design I think I am out, gonna wait for the new Pixels.
Perhaps I buy it and try it if it dont fits my needs I will sell it to my best friend since he needs a new phone and he other needs than I in an phone.

Still a a rumor, needs to be confirmed by an official Google Statement.
On the one hand it totally looks like a Oppo R11 twin with more powerful specs http://winfuture.mobi/bild/1497443227
But maybe there are some differences. Oneplus 3t is smaller than Oppo R11 and Oneplus published this picture which indicates IMO that Oneplus 5 is smaller than 3T.
https://mobile.twitter.com/oneplus/...45308.ampproject.net/1496877433269/frame.html
If OP5 would be even marginally narrower than 3T it would be a big selling point in my opinion.

If only I can ditch my 6P & use the OP5 on Verizon. This would probably be the only reason I don't get one, is the fact it wouldn't be Verizon compatible.
Other than that, I've always wanted to try one. There is a slight chance of going to Tmobile, then I'm sure there's no issues there.

Uh yes, with the exception of the faster and more efficient processor, larger and faster storage, and superior cameras, it's essentially the same phone.
Any guesses as to the price of the 128 version? Is it like a flat 100 extra? The no SD card will be a first for me since I've had Android (2008) so I'm a little annoyed with having to use an OTG drive or whatever else. I would be much more comfortable with the 128gb version unless it's close to 600.

A guy I work with is thinking about the U11, because Verizon/AT&T doesn't work at his house. I personally use StraightTalk with a Verizon sim. If I need to, I'll just get a new SIM card and stick it in. I just hope it will still be available on the 23rd, as thats when I get paid.
such a waste on specs
1080p no led? > so 2010
dual camera ? > use a charl zeis 41mp best mobile camera ever, if nokia ever with those huawei and even iphone cameras get trashed
i had high hopes because i saw they atleast gotten a 5.5" led screen but you say its a lcd
and seriously these features are worth nothing, dual camera for what ? its not like it is more professional it shows how idiotic people can be to have dual cameras in a phone to take a picture or selfies
sorry il wait for nokia and its charl zeis camera, no one beats those as far as i know
Get a look at the pre-order
http://www.oppomart.com/oneplus-5.html
So costly at $599! I hope they make some adjustments!
And also, the 128GB variant should be with 8GB RAM, right?
How come this thread says $479 and the post says $449?

Long story short, my current phone is 3 years old.. and It's becoming unreliable..
I was gonna get the 5X.. but seeing the specs of the 6 made the decision tough...
The Nexus 6 is a lot more bang for buck.... You're getting a huge screen, a metal frame, OIS, NO USB C crab, 3 GB RAM, Water resistance, better speaker.
A fingerprint scanner would have been great, but for the price of the 6, I can't justify even spending extra 50$ to get the 5X.
I'm not sure though about the performance difference between the two. SD805 and SD808 don't look that different spec wise.
I'm just worried about the size though. I'm coming from a tiny 4.3 inch screen (i9100).. and I know this phone is huge that some people actually complained about its big size..
Currently it's sold for about 350$ (32gb version) in a local retailer here... Is there any cheaper deals out there for a new one ?

Mostly because too many people that are making them are using subpar parts. The tech will take a few years to take hold. I am in the same boat. I am in no rush to change. Right now I have one cable for all my devices. I dont want to have to carry another cable around.

Well, currently for me... An Old USB port is much better... I won't have to buy and carry adapters with me wherever I go... Maybe in 2 or 3 years when USB C become more mainstream, I'd sure buy a phone with a USB C. But now, NO !
And the fact that some of the adapters being sold on Amazon can be considered deadly for your device and can cause problems is another downside...

Your brain and hands are used to the Nexus 6 size quite fast and after that there is no going back to a 5-5,5 inch screen imo. Besides the camera and fingerprint scanner the N6 is superior to the 5X , especialy the speakers are much better and i think the screen is very good.

Not going to sugar coat it here, the Nexus 6 takes horrendous photos in low light in my experience. Other than that it's a great phone and I highly recommend it. The 5x on the other hand should take the same quality photos as the 6P since they have the same hardware. The 6P takes great photos and therefore so does the 5x, unless my logic is flawed somewhere.

yeah, it's acceptable. The issue that I have is the camera simply not letting enough light in in those dark situations. It's workable though, and in adequate lighting with HDR and OIS it makes it a good shooter.

lol, but i disagree here very much. sure, the nexus 6 camera isnt as good as the n6p/5x camera, but so isnt the last iphones camera. the n6 actually has a very good camera, sure its not the best, but its far from anything id ever call horrendous. well, i guess i could if i never knew how to properly use a camera. but i do, know how to use a camera, and im calling it a fairly decent camera. just take a look at me google+ account if you want to see proof https://plus.google.com/+semeonkorsunsky

Your photos do look great....
I've seen enough already... The Nexus 6 Camera with a Manual Camera app does take amazing photos...
coming from nexus 5, the N6 went for as little as 250 USD on amazon during the week after black Friday. I got it for 289$. Camera is good for a smartphone camera. the new camera app is much faster on everything. timely updates from Google or XDA. I would choose 5x because its a plastic LG anyway. if night pics and fingerprint are a must, you have other choices better then 5x at that base price.
the only con of N6 is dimensions, and that only your hands will complain. but your eyes will thank you. Also, as mentioned, there is no going back from 6 inch screen.
I haven't had my hands on the 5x or the 6p. I did come from the HTC One Max (after being my dd, the LCD died suddenly and so did the charge port). Bought a HTC One M7 as a replacement. Took time readjusting to a more common screen size. Then upgraded to the N6. I couldn't be happier. Plus, I've always been a Motorola fanboy. I came from an iPhone 4 and switched to a Droid 4. I like the feel of N6 and the ease of unlocking the BL and rooting. I actually have mine underclocked to 2.2ghz with custom hotplugging that uses only 2 cores most of time unless under heavy load. Camera is nice. It's not the best out there, but you can't argue with 13mp shooter. I installed the M9 camera apk and it works nicely as well. Only thing that will draw me away from the N6 in future years will be something of higher caliber that INCLUDES Expandable SD.
Did I mention the incredible battery life I get?

Well, the majority of my photography takes place on Snapchat which has no manual mode and fairly poor Android support so, my experience has been different then yours. You have proved to me though if you use manual settings and put a little effort in, the nexus 6 can take pretty nice outdoor shots that are not horrendous. I'm sorry.
I am wondering why anyone, who has a OP5 or OP5T would upgrade?
My OP5 with the 835 CPU and 128Gb ram works great. OK, a couple of foibles, but there is no guarentee that they are fixed in the new one.
A new one has a slightly faster processor, OIS on the camera and a larger screen. Is that sufficient to change?
I'm curious - it's not a financial issue (I'm not broke), but I would need persuading.
Alan
It doesn't make sense.
1. With the speed upgrade what can you do or achieve in those split seconds.
2. Are those extra inch of display worth the price.
3. No comments on camera. Definitely those too are going to suck.
Wait for 7, I'm going to.

Why ask us? It's your money, buy it or don't buy it.
Well a few reasons. I'm coming from a 5 not a 5T, so this makes a difference.
1. I sell my current phone after a year to get maximum
value back. That keeps my or of pocket for a new phone
usually at $100-$150.
2. With free money through new car test drive rewards, I
have $220 in rewards added to my paypal account
making the $579 OnePlus 6 just $360. With the sale of my
OnePlus 5, I shouldn't have any money out of pocket and
may make$20 or $40
3. The processor and new band 71 support for TMobile is a
nice feature.
4. The camera is certainly better in comparison tests to the
pixel 2 and s9+. The 19% size increase of the camera pixel
and OIS make for much better low light photos and
video capture.
5. The screen is larger. Not a notch fan but it's smaller then
most and you can hide it. So if I don't like who cares it's
gone.
There may be a few other reason I'm missing but to me those are what stick out right now. Oh and with glass, better reception and 4x4 MIMO (Gigabit LTE)
Edit: I wasn't sure but just read that the 128gb and 256gb storage options will both have UFS 2.1. I previously thought it was just the 256gb storage option. That will be huge speed increase in storage.
If I were you, I wouldn't "upgrade" to the OnePlus 6, nothing new besides OIS, larger screen and new CPU. Just a waste of money

Definitely disagree. 4x4 MIMO for Gigabit LTE, UFS 2.1 storage (OP5 eMMc is 400mbps and UFS 2.1 is 1.5gbps), OIS plus 19% larger pixels for better low light pics, band 71 for TMobile users, bigger screen and more power efficient SoC.
It may not be enough for you to upgrade but certainly not a waste.

Ahh I stand corrected, thought it had eMMc. All good. The rest is correct and still more then enough to upgrade from the 5, maybe not the 5T though.
Buy OP6 if you want that notched and back-shattering experience.
Considering that there is a 99.9% chance the 6T will be released in November, I'll hold onto my €600 and see if anything actually worth while comes on it that justifies spending the money compared to the 6.
I wouldn't bother. True the processor (I hear) is 30% faster but you have to balance that with the highly not-durable all glass body (front and back) and the minimal improvements. Too much risk to justify buying a new one.
Now that I think about it, there actually is one big improvement - project Treble.

Not a huge improvement, actually.
OnePlus dev community is one of the best and the 5 and 5t should receive many Android upgrades after OnePlus discontinues their support.
Also, with the latest OpenBetas, they've made changes to the partitions and the Camera Hal. Everything points to future Treble support for the 5 and 5t: https://forum.xda-developers.com/pr...opment/discussion-guide-oneplus-5-5t-t3776358
Cuz why not?
imo you should wait for 6T to release. People always buy non-T phones and get nervous after few months when OnePlus releases an upgraded version for the same price.
The reason why I would not move to OP6 from OP5 (no T)
- fingerprint on back (as also OP5T) is to me the biggest problem, considering I'm keeping the most of the time the phone on a desk
- camera: it's from OP3 they are saying it way better than before... but nothing (of few) has changed. If you buy OP, Camera it's not your nr 1 need
- is way bigger than a OP5 (of course, also OP5T)
- price !!
Here some reason why I would move:
- bigger screen (even if that notch...)
- 256GB possibility (but what a price !)
- Support to LTE Cat 13 and the 2x2 MIMO WiFi
Honestly I will stay on 5 until 6T and then let's see (if the will use fingerprint below screen)
I have been a pretty progressive one+ buyer. Daughter has one+3, wife has 1+3plus and I have the 5. Of course we've sold couple of oneplusone's and x. Since the 3 came out, everyone has been super satisfied with our devices. No root/custom ROM was required. Why do I upgrade? Because that's what our family do. It has definitely helped with keeping the cost down and everyone happy. I'm pretty sure other than cosmetics, not too much difference will be noticeable with 6. All of our one+ devices are in great working condition and still fast! Can't really tell the phones apart from the other. I try to upgrade every year. So does everyone in the family.
Basically , only because i have 64GB and to upgrade to 128 or 256
Just wait for T version, buying this mobile if you have oneplus 5 is pointless, even with T could be still pointless, it is just smartphone and almost exactly as previous one. Bigger screen is not 'life changer'

As of the locked bootloader, issues with obtaining root and maintaining updates from OTA at the same time and lack of custom roms I would rather choose Pocophone F1 nowdays. The battery is also smaller on this one and ONLY advantage of N8 over F1 is the camera from Carl Zeiss.

I'm guessing you can get the Pocophone F1 or Honor Play for similar or less money in India? I'd seriously consider those (I own a Nokia 8 but if I was buying today I'd probably look elsewhere)
I haven't got any issue on OTA updates so I would always recommend Nokia 8. It hasn't give me any problem issue either, not even with Bluetooth as some people had wrote. I'm pleased with the camera quality, stock Nokia camera is decent enough, but if you want better post processing image to obtain better picture quality and really good HDR+ option you can install Google camera posted here in some thread. Another good option is installing open camera app from playstore, with it I can set up 4k at 60fps and it does record video without any crush. I haven't check on PC about if it's really recording at those parameters though.
Another plus that I believe is build quality. Nokia has been always outstanding in that department. I don't know about pocophone's build quality, nor endurance durability. So I can't say if it is good or bad. But I can surely say Nokia is better, no doubt. Lol
But of course, if you want better performance in paper I would recommend you pocophone, as it has the latest snapdragon processor and RAM I think (?).
I picked mine up at the beginning of August and don't regret the purchase at all. The camera issues are exaggerated - isn't great in low light, but it's pretty decent in normal light. To be honest if you want a really good camera you still need to buy a proper camera, but as phones go it's not terrible. The processor is more than up to most jobs. It's really nicely built - solid and with a decent metal back. At current prices you're getting a near top-end phone at mid-level prices.
don't go
, i bought Nokia 8 on very first day launch in india. it has image retention and heating issues.
only advantage is camera 2 api enabled by default.
so it can able to run gcam mode.
rather i would suggest go with mi a2 for overall all same stock experience with great camera and large aperture 1.75 with sony sensor. it would be joy to use gcam mode with this setup.
don't go with poco f1, display issues and camera is just worst and not even comparable to 2 year old mi5.
I have dual sim Nokia 8 and screen, looks like, shape of metal, plastics and screen is better than any Xiami phone ever. Nokia 8 is a top model of fashion for almost all mobile phones made it until now. It is really worth to buy in October too!
For me no heating problems, or any other. Camera with google or other aps are ok.

Just bought one so I hope so...
For the price nothing seems to compare now spec wise, I've got a 950xl that has some kind of weird power draw issue which has forced my hand to finally ditch windows phone.
Sadly instore the Nakia 7.1 instantly took a better picture but I found I hard to spend more money on a 'lesser' phone, hoping the updates and different camera make it better!
I personally really like the style on the Nokia, I was considering the oneplus but then for the difference in price for what you get, is it really worth spending over double? I was set on buying a P20 Pro, but photos didn't seem to compare to the 950xl (tried them side by side instore) and I learnt very quickly that I really hate the 'notch' at the top, figured if I'm settling might as well get a pretty phone, considering what else you can get with the same specs seems to be double the price at least in the UK so far i'm happy. and I've saved a fortune by not buying the P20 Pro
Don't buy any Nokia device if you want install custom ROM and or flash custom recovery.
HMD isn't Nokia!

I've just bought the missus one, £250 with a 2 year warranty is a no brainer, you could pay more for a Moto G6 Plus and get Pie and the odd security update in about 18 months if you are lucky.
The camera isn't as bad as people seem to get rather heated about, it is a bit crap in low light but for most situations it is fine.
I have had mine 11 months and it has been nothing other than great.
I agree. Camera is not bad. Also, it is not awesome but successful enough. I see the reality of colours is definitely good. I don't like to see fake and stupid colors in my pictures. It still worths to buy at the moment.

Now with unlocked bootloader you have a masterpiece in nokia 8. Good camera imo, very good radios - bluetooth connects to anything... Go for it
IMO the best Device in Years. Even w/o Root/BLU Android One is damn cool, I won't buy any Phone without One anymore. And having a 1/8" Jack which doens't suck (Compared to Sony's is Great), the SD Card Slot I can't live without having Hundreds of Gigabtes of Lossless Music, 16:9 but with Hardware Button seems more sensefull than 18:9 bc Videos still are 16:9 anyway, I still prefer IPS over OLED due to Burn-Ins... I haven't been Disappointed yet!
DO NOT BUY POCO F1. Im actually poco user and want to switch to this. Tons of bugs and problem that they still not fix after 1 months of release. there also screen bleeding issue, multitouch issue, weird audio issue while using headset while playing game and ugly notch. Stay away from poco
Edit : also MIUI is very bad OS. Tons of bloatware and they even put ads on anything like file manager or the weather widget. Its just soo annoying.
One more thing worth noted custom rom isnt really friendly now on xiaomi devices because they are putting anti rollback which will hard brick your device.
Just buy nokia because android one is far better.

I've just bought one of these too, £259 John Lewis and I think it's a bargain. I bought it as my Moto G LTE needed to be retired and I was going to go for a Moto G6 but when I saw this it was too good a bargain to refuse. I agree with you about Moto's not so good update policy. So far so good with the Nokia 8 and it ticks all my boxes, never use a phone cam for anything other than the odd snap or car bump, I've a DSLR for proper photography so a phone cam never really enters the equation.
This is the first time that Oneplus is launching something like this, a (almost?) complete flagship level device with QHD+ display and a price to match it.
The company started with the "Flagship Killer" devices, but now as the prices slowly reach S10E/XR range, and most probably in a couple of years at this rate, actual S series range, will you actually still prefer OnePlus over the more premium and complete brands?
I am thinking of buying the Pro, but the headphone jack in the S10E at a similar pricepoint is making my decision a little more difficult.
Looks like it will NOT have OIS on the 3X zoom camera. If that's turns out to be true, it will be an instant no-buy for me. Video from that sensor will be either shaky because of the lack of OIS, or jittery because of EIS.
They could get away with this type of cost cutting on the older models because of all the "flagship but cheaper" mantra. But this will NOT be THAT cheaper, so fully expect a full flagship experience for that full price. Lacking OIS where it is most needed won't cut it this time.
How much cheaper do you guys really want it to be? The Pro is already like 250 euro/dollars cheaper then say Samsung and Apples cheapest "flagships" (and 50 % cheaper then the most expensive ones), and with a killer screen and bigger battery. Being a bit dramatic imo.

I don't know. The S10 right now is $720 on amazon https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-SM-G973F-Unlocked-Smartphone-International/dp/B07NXVM3DG/
This is tipped to be launched @$700 base price. And we all know, Samsung phones tend to get cheaper as the time goes by, OnePlus devices in the past haven't experienced much price drop as they age over the year.
If the pro doesn't shine in Camera quality such as in low light, has no OIS , not water resistant, no IR blaster etc, I'll likely go for the P30 pro for only a small amount more money. If the P30 pro had OxygenOS , my mind would already be made up.

Well that's majority of oneplus users are thinking.
But as long Huawei and Sammy are not offering near stock software experience they're are not even choice to many of us even in couple of months could grab it cheapest that 7 Pro.
Every time using Sammy or Huawei after few days get full frustrated with their software.
I've tested both P30 Pro and S10 plus for a week each one and sold them both.
I can't handle their software neither handle those rediculous punch hols on Sammy even smaller teardrop on P30 I don't like it.
Also not interesting several features having like waterproof or wireless charging is completely useless to me.
Even stereo speakers I'm not a person who listen through speakers but always using Bluetooth stereo headset or wired headphone.
Over 20 years I'm using dozens and dozens of mobile device and never thought I need those feature.
So I'm not interesting paying a device with features useless to me,but only what I cared off.
My only alternative would had been Pixel device but I'm not going to waiting several months after release of the device to drop to 700 to pick one for example February March on new year.
I refuse to pay a smartphone with SOC already exists almost 10 months in the market and premium price,not to mantion Pixel device most of the case getting mediacore battery capacity and that rediculous notch or maybe this year will get punch hols like Sammy offer with S10 line.
And here in Europe is much more difficult to find it as does not officially sold majority of continent

curved display.....really.
Rumors are saying that OnePlus 7 pro will have Quad HD curved screen, But as per the rumors of OP6 we expected Quad HD on Oneplus 6. Still OP6T sticks with 1080P. Is there any Assurance that we can expect Quad HD On OnePlus 7 pro.

OnePlus. Tell me why damn curved display. It's really pain in the butt.
feels like OnePlus is appealing to the mainstream audience, that's why they're releasing this "Pro" series, I just wish that they won't release any "T" models anymore
Development for the 7 and 7 pro in custom will be off the hook this year we will definitely see to that.
With a pinch of salt, fresh OP7/7 Pro full specs leak looks like a real deal now:
https://www.gsmarena.com/oneplus_7_and_oneplus_7_pro_full_specs_sheet_is_out-news-36857.php
With a more power hungry display resolution, refresh rate and bigger screen size, the Pro has a bit smaller battery than the standard one it seems.
Why a curved display OnePlus. Terrible idea. The one thing I hate about Samsung is the curved display

If this is the case, I'd most probably buy the regular OP7, turns out S10 in my country is only available in Exynos variant :crying:, and with this smaller battery and finnicky curved display, OP7pro seems to be a failure, unless they somehow have put headphone jack as well to compensate the smaller battery

Greetings,
I've been browsing the sub for a bit and watched a few reviews about the phone because I have a pretty great deal for one and might consider buying it. I tried it out for a few minutes in a store the other day and it feels and looks great.
There seems to be a lot of negative talk, mostly against the fact that 1+ is now just a flagship, which I don't care too much about. Nor do I for the camera or selfie-notch or whatever.
Are the software issues and such really that annoying to deal with? Are there other phones you'd recommend instead? Am I better off just hoping the 11 is a greater phone and keeping my 7Pro for now?
Pre-thanks for the answers!
It is a great phone however if your fussy, like to modify and customize ect (live for the root) then you will find it frustrating
I find it's great, once i overcame the things i hated and removed, or rewrote some bits to get the outcome i wanted. Ease of use is great, camera is 9/10 IMO. It is a good phone regardless

good phone but don't buy ne2215 single sim i was f****d
Just a tough question.
If you want a great phone with superb performance and amazing hardware, plus an battery that just doesn't quit then yes.
But if you're expecting a flashers paradise which is what most OnePlus buyers want then I'm afraid the answer is a solid no, at least for now.
Any phone I've ever had before if it's going to prove to be a developers haven, we would already have ROMs popping up all over the place, alas with the 10 pro it's just not the case, then again neither is it with the pixel 6 or pro.
I hope it's not a sign of things to come, but for now it's a far cry from everybody's previous device.
Even the threads on XDA are convoluted and confusing, especially on the app.
I'd say look elsewhere but at least on paper, the two aforementioned devices are the best that is currently on offer.
Difficult time to buy unless you don't mind last gens phone. In which case I'd say go 8 pro or the 9 if flashing ROMs is your thing.
I hope it turns around but time is ticking away and the longer it goes on the slimmer the chances.
Pixel 6 Pro NOT worth buying !
After many bugs, new offer from google : "no network" (not from SIM , not from wifi). In the USA.

XDA has been terrible over the years. The search feature is so flawed now it almost seems like a waste of time to tell people to search for anything. The app is garbage now and basically was a slap in the face to users who had to pay for the premium app back in the day to get good usability.

Not that they're selling it in the US to begin with but I couldn't do a 778G+ chip. Gotta have a flagship. There is a massive gap between 778G+ and 8 gen 1.
Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 vs Snapdragon 778G Plus: tests and benchmarks
We put Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 against 778G Plus to find out which SoC is better. See performance comparison in benchmarks and games.
nanoreview.net
I had to go to a custom ROM thanks to OnePlus throttling the SoC on my 9 because the browsing performance was garbage without the X1 core and the 778G+ Geekbench single core score is similar to the throttled 9 performance. Thanks but no thanks.
Yes, the Nothing phone 778G+ chip is a big step backwards!
If money is a problem, Nothing phone is good. Nothing is around 470 euro, 10 Pro - 919 euro (8/128)
And SD 778 is the best performance processor for midrangers phones.
I like Very Much the design of OnePlus 10R (global Ace)
