OP5 buying on release day - OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers

Hey folks,
I am waiting for the OP5 and if the rumors/leaks are true, it's going to ship with 6 and 8 gigs of RAM. Which versions would you (recommend to) buy?
And is it worth buying it on the first day?
I am using a half broken Galaxy Note 4 right now since months just waiting for this device. I will either have to buy it on the first day or another month later as I'll be on holiday but I don't want to bother with this broken phone anymore.
Thanks in advance.

If rumors are also true it is going to be a full priced phone. So unless you need something specific that only the 5 will have I might just recommend the 3t!

Between $450 and $500 is still my guess based on previous pricing and it's modest spec upgrade.

How can I change to the Nexus 6?

How can I change to the N6? I'm on T-Mobile and just bought the Note 4 1 week ago. I still have 1 more week to return it. And after that 1 week, there's still 10 more days until the Nexus 6 comes out on T-Mobile.
I could just return the Note 4 next Friday, get another phone, and return it the day the Nexus 6 comes out, but there's a $50 restock fee. So, what ideas do you guys have?
I already sold the phone I had before the Note 4.
I really like it, but TouchWiz ruins the phone for me. It slows the phone down so much it doesn't feel like a Snapdragon 805 and 3GB of RAM. With TouchWiz, less than 1GB of RAM is available WITHOUT any apps open. And I really don't want to trip Knox for when I return the phone.
Ask your store if you can have another few weeks with Note4 until you can order the Nexus6....
Pay the damn restock fee, like a man.
You knew what you were doing buying a Note4 before the N6 announcement, accept the consequences of your choices.

This is probably what I would do. It's always good to have a backup phone anyways. At least IMO.
I got the answer. I'll return the phone on Friday and get the iPhone 5s test drive for a week until the N6 comes out.

Is Nexus 6 (Brand New) worth buying in today's time ?

Hello there,
I am thinking of purchasing a new Nexus 6. I just want a phone with a bigger screen and great development support that can last for around the next 4 - 5 years..
Can anyone help me in knowing the battery life and the overall experience of using a Nexus 6..
Price is 278 USD.
Would be of great help..!
Thanks,
A fellow Android user.
PS - My main reason of considering a N6 is a great community support

I just bought a refurbished one used, for 200€ . As a play store refurbished unit it comes with 2 years warranty and it s like new. Here in Europe Google refurbish devices when you RMA it for some problem, and gives 2 years of warranty so now I have a brand new nexus 6. It a great it a like to have an unlimited warranty. I bought a nexus 6 from a nexus 5 only for the warranty and to have a battery that last all day. That said this phone is great in everything and I start to get addicted to the enormous screen. In hand it feels better than many other phones, it a fast , good battery, good camera, and awesome display. My only problem is the bug with 7.1.1 with loudspeaker calls,and auto volume reduction when is too high. So if you can live with an enormous screen , I can tell you buy it ,you will not regret

If it's a 64GB device and new, that's a better deal than relying on the very unreliable ebay.
Not worth, phone os is going to 64bit but this phone does not support 64bit os, also the price is high.

If you can find one for 250$ at most then go ahead, buy one. I bought the 32Gb version in 2015, black Friday on Amazon for just 200$ and I couldn't be more happier. You have lots of ROM's to choose from and the development community is awesome.
Could be a problem for the future though, since its internals may not cope well with the future versions of Android, being a 32-bit device and all.
Anyways, hope this helped.

I got mine in November for $250.00 Canadian with 2 Spigen cases. It is a great phone for the price.
Sent from my Nexus 6 using XDA-Developers Legacy app
I got mine for 156$ USD last summer. It was used 32gb in mint condition. Guess I got lucky with the prize. I'll have to say that I'm impressed with the community and this phone will definitely be supported by the community for a long time. Look at Nexus 4. It still has great support. Either way Nexus 6 is truly a legendary beast. The media experience is what got me. For the prize is hard to find a phone with as good community support and good for Nexus consumption. I'm sad that Google ditched dual front facing speakers on the Pixel. If I ever upgrade next year or at the end of this it would be to the 6P if the prize is right. If not I'll keep the 6 until it dies. They don't make phones like these, these days.

I can't deny it's a great phone and probably will get you through 4-5 years, but if I were making the purchase now I would just get a 6p. It is quite a bit more expensive, though. I would think it's worth it. But I can't say for certain because I don't have the device
I got mine a year ago at 250 brand new on amazon, so I would say hell no for 275. I got tired of the Nexus 6, great phone and all, but I started to feel like I bought a phone that never worked at 100% and had to tinker it all the time to be happy with it, and still there I wasn't totally happy with it.
Hell, I bought a huawei p9 last week and it's working better than my nexus 6 ever did (worse screen and speakers of course, but dont care), but it's a way better phone that just works, and it's fast, and shoots great pictures, and battery lasts.
If you NEED a developer phone, get a 6p... If you just want a good phone, check huawei and honor phones, great options for good prices!
Thank you everyone for your time..
If N6 is not an good choice now, Can anyone tell me a phone running PURE ANDROID and in the same budget i.e 278 USD ( INR - 20000) and having a great community support..

When it comes to smartphones, ebay is the worst choice. For all you know, the new device you supposedly bought was actually a repack with Factory Reset Protection triggered. On ebay there is no control and no protection from the unscrupulous. Swappa is much better, as each phone put up for sale must be approved by a member of Swappa, plus unless the phone is in the Swappa boneyard, the phone is guaranteed to work without hassle. Otherwise you send the phone back and get your money refunded.
Having used Swappa once to purchase my S4, I'll never use ebay to get a phone. If Amazon didn't have new 64GB devices at this time last year, I would have used Swappa again. Ebay never entered the discussion.

Moto G4 was my initial choice.
But, seeing the cases Motorola is doing with their phones.. I feel that Moto has lost their sheen..
My dad recent wanted a phone, I choose Moto G3 Turbo, thinking that It would certainly get the Nougat update and regular security update. But, sadly, Motorola dropped the entire G3 series from the Nougat update program, even not fulfilling the 2yr update promise.
My choice for N6 was that even though both phones has will get nougat, N6 would have a nice development scene in the coming year.
Also, Moto G4 is plagued with heating issues.
Can you give me another recommendation..
It's a great phone but I'm sure you can get it for less, 278 is a ripoff even for 64gb.

Is this phone still worth buying in Feb/March?

my old galaxy S3 stopped working, so I am thinking about getting this phone this month or early next month. Should I buy the 3t, or wait for the 4(5)? Thanks in advance.

Based on your requirement...3T is definitely a good phone and you can even sell and buy a 4/5 once it releases
Of course it is. Is the best smartphone right now.
had an lg g3 that stopped recognising the sim card. replacing the sim/sd card reader may not fix it. I dont want to waste money. wainting for enough people to vote in order to make a decision. dont mind me
i just bought my op3t coming from a nexus 6p
If you desperately needs a new phone...get the 3/T either one is a great option.
If you can wait, wait. All the new phones are coming out, including OnePlus.
Mine just got delivered today. On a whim, I decided to sell my Nexus 6P last Friday and ordered a 128gb 3T on Saturday. The 6P was a good phone, but 1.5 years old and due to be orphaned by Google in Sept. I needed to sell soon while the 6P still had some resale value, and the 3T beats the Pixel specs in all the ways that matter to me, so that's what brought me over. The 3T is one of the most powerful phones currently on the market (if not THE most powerful phone). They shaved a few corners (speakers and screen resolution come to mind, but screen is still very good), but the processor+ram are an awesome combo. The 3T isn't certified for Google Daydream so if that's important to you take it into consideration. Since your S3 is busted I assume you have a spare that will tide you over? If so, then maybe wait it out a couple of months. If not (or if the spare is garbage) then the 3T is a great phone with superior specs.
I believe that it completely makes sense to buy this phone.
Firstly, it has only been 4 months since this phone was released. And 4 months is the perfect time to evaluate how good the phone is, while it's still considered a newly released phone.
Besides, I don't think there'll be any great change in tech between the 3t and 4/5. It'll just be a slightly better version of the 3t, with slightly faster processor, slightly higher RAM (maybe).
Because of the very low prices, OnePlus isn't very great with their R/D. All their previous phones reflect that. They have always picked a safe design and put good hardware in it.
I think that once phones like iPhone 8 are released, the innovations they come up with become a thing. Like wireless charging?, Fingerprint scanner embedded in three screen?.
Till then, I think the 3t will be a great phone without anything lacking in it.
Given you'll have to wait for the 4/5, and also, you don't know how it'll turn out to be, my suggestion would be to go for the 3t.

The reason is that it's a proven phone. Good spec, good battery life, god design and awesome charge capacity. You can always wait because there will always be better phones coming but not all phones will be value for money like 3t. Just got it 3 days back.
For y pay for a OnePlus 3 or 3T and the spec you get... I really don't understand why anyone would not buy one. TBH I don't understand why anyone would pay the premium for a 3T when you can pick-up a 3 for less and the spec difference is so minimal. But that's just my opinion

Ordered mine on Monday. Received on Thursday. Upgraded from Nexus 6 which was my favorite device. Now this is my favorite. It just flies. And I just used my phone for 2 days on a single charge, where my N6 would have died overnight.

why do Samsung devices devalue so fast?

It's one of the things that bugs me. I bought s8 plus when it came out and now you can buy it for $675, which means second hand value has plummeted. Contrast this with my iPhone 7+ which i recently sold for about $100 less than i bought it for when that came out. I think k Samsung does it on purpose as a way to make their older devices compete with newer LG, iPhone etc but it should be a consideration when purchasing.
Simple answer... because it is not an Apple. Any device that is not an Apple devalues quite fast. I noticed that Google phones hold their value quite well though. But they also only release one phone a year like apple does. Unlike other OEM's that release 2-3 phones a year. Just my opinion btw.
Because Samsung heavily discounts the devices very quickly. There are really only 3 phones should be able to hold value, Pixel, iPhone and Samsung's. If Samsung didn't make huge discounts so quick they would hold their value.
For instance look at the Pixel, Google didn't discount it and it has held well

Not unique to Samsung. The LG V20 for example was £550 when released and now is £300 on ebay for a new device. This price drop will kill v20 prices. If you want to keep value of a commodity Android device, then buy a Vertu!
EDIT - how is this thread relevant to the Note8? Perhaps a troll thread.
Samsung devices devalue so quickly because Samsung pumps out so many phones in one year. And, they have 2 premium phones that release every year. This makes Samsung discount their newer phones after a few months, which causes the phones to devalue.
^this, supposedly they shipped 20 million S8's already... saturation!
Again, why this thread in a Note8 forum? If you can't justify cost of the Note8 then don't buy one.

I always used to jump into the latest and pre-orde... For my s8+ Spent close to 600 $ and tied to a 2 year horrible plan...two month later they were selling it for 99 for the same plan.. Was so pissed off...
So I am going to wait it out for a few months and then get note 8...
So let it get devalued fast

Maybe the devices lose value so quickly because they never were worth that much to begin with. Not saying they are cheap but they are taking in the dough at your expense. I mean do you think the cost price that mobile companies pay is almost a g? Only devices that sell close to cost are iphones. But iPhones bring subscribers so companies accept the cost of business.
If people didn't rush out to buy them and held on to devices longer we wouldn't see these high prices at release but we keep jumping on the hype train so we don't to ourselves.
Then the flip around is oh man it's time to upgrade, well I'm not gonna pay that much for the note but this s8 plus is close enough and cheaper. So now you get this wave of people seeing the note hype but not wanting to pay as much so you go buy the last s series.
On top of everything you guys said, the other problem about keeping value up is updates. They do not keep updating like Apple so if you buy last year's model chances are you will not get this year's Android version. I hope Note 8 continues to get updates but I won't hold my breath. For this reason I stopped buying Samsung devices, but I really want a note back.
The value of such devices is also highly linked to the country one lives. The USA always seems to get great deals.
In this country the consumer is identified as an inconvenience to the stores and not seen as their source of income.
Prices here hold very VERY well on all goods.
I only make certain purchases here that I need a fast response to if a problem arises otherwise I buy from another country.
Samsung, for instance, have given zero 'offers' to those who suffered the situation with both past iterations of the Note 7 despite great inconvenience to the customer. They simply have this attitude of 'who gives a crap about the customer'.
If I didn't need the S-pen I would be certainly buying the new LG V30. As it is Samsung have the monopoly on smart phones with a pen.

If Verizon hadn't already shipped my Note 8, Samsung would have lost a customer over their poor handling of the Note 7 fiasco. After comparing the Note 8 to the V30 I had decided to cancel my pre-order but I was too late, it had already shipped. The V30 is a huge improvement over the V20 and costs so much less than the Note 8. I was also irritated at the lack of incentives for Note 7 customers other than trading in another device. I can't say without the V30 in hand but it seems to be almost identical build quality and specs for a much lower price. Better watch your back Samsung.

No chance of updates after 18 months after initial release. Google only require their vendors to support the Android OS updates for a short period. I agree, in that respect, Apple is better until they issue an update that takes-up too much of your memory!

I agree the V30 looks great. But, the V20 was selling well below MRP after 6 months. I got my dua SIM 64GB version of the V20 for only £300!! Half the price of the V30. Poor value after 6 months is what happens to most Android phones now given that ZTE and OnePlus make great value devices now.

I entirely agree with your first sentence.
You mention your Note 8 has "Shipped"!? I was under the impression we would not receive the Note 8 until at least the 15th of this month. In this country I will be very fortunate to see it until October!
You can always refuse delivery and get your money back.
To me the V30 is strong opposition and competition for the SGS8 not the Note 8, they are two different animals.
If we think about the comparisons being downloaded on Youtube so many compare the note 8 with the fruity iPhone 7? they is zero comparison as they are two two different devices. The iPhone 7 (if one MUST make a comparison) could be debated along side the SGS8 but even then the differences in cost, OS and so many other factors make such comparisons rather false.
So many are waiting to compare the iPhone 8 with the Note 8? Why? If one wants to pay 1200€ for a mobile running IOS then buy the fruity brand, its going to be a superb mobile but unless it comes with a pen and Android ........I am off topic, sorry.

If you want the LG V30 can't you simply refuse delivery of the Note 8 at the door and get a full refund?
With the exception of the fruity brand we have up to 20 days to accept or reject a purchase with or without reason. I assume you have similar protection in the USA? Don't ask how the fruity brand avoid this, once one opens that plastic wrap consider the iPhone yours! There is even a notice in the stores by the fruity brand stand stating this. Grrrr.
I hope things work out for you there is nothing worse than buyers remorse especially at these prices. Let us know what you do in the end.

I actually didn't really loose any money upgrading surprisingly. O2 wanted £399 to pay off the device to upgrade. Sold the phone on ebay for £399. Paid off the device plan and upgraded to OP5T for free. (Apart from ebay fees) Got a black friday deal so got 50GB data for the price of 10GB so got way more data than I had on the OP5, got 12 month xbox live and I also have a discount from work so I pay £42 a month. So in this scenario I was actually better off upgrading than staying with my OP5 and waiting til the OP6.

(Apart from ebay fees) Got a black friday deal so got 50GB data for the price of 10GB so got way more data than I had on the OP5, got 12 month xbox live and I also have a discount from work so I pay £42 a month. So in this scenario I was actually better off upgrading than staying with my OP5 and waiting til the OP6.

LoL so you actually paid $50 or $60 to upgrade, not free. But that's still pretty good.

Nope, I technically didn't pay anything at all as the free 12 month xbox membership covers the ebay fees The fee was £20 anyway and I got extra 35GB of data.
I usually keep phones for at least a year or two. The only differences in between the OP5 and the OP5T are better camera and higher res screen. I don't take a lot of pictures, and 1080p suits me just fine. I may shoot for the OP6 when it arrives, though.
