^^ Sounds excellent. Very tempted, although concerned that it's a bit big for me.

That's a shame I was expecting no more than £290, I've been weighing up this or the 6p at £380, I think I'll play it safe and go with the 6p

They only just stopped selling the One for 289..

I just watched the mkb review and it looks like oneplus crushed it this time round!

Edit - I'm glad they managed to include UFS2.0 storage.

?

The 64GB op2 have been £250 for a while now.

 

[neil_g]

Watching those reviews I might be replacing my One this time around..

You're probably right, it may have been 209

 

[Soul.Survivor]

Right just done a bit of reading up and watched the reviews. Seems like a no brainer at £309

Only thing putting me off trying to order at 8pm is whether my Gear S2 will work or not.

Had to sideload it previously on my old OP2 and OPX and was really hit and miss whether it worked. Has worked perfectly on my old M8 which still using.

But noticed my camera lens is bit scratched or blurry/smokey now with recent pictures so really want to order something.

This has got to be the best phones out right now at the £300 price point. they have baked some really nice features into the os and overall it looks like a really polished phone.

Never again. I had an opo & opt but they were plagued with OS bugs. Relying on bedroom programmers to release fixed OS's.
The opo could not even make a click sound on every key stroke.

 

[neil_g]

They were?

Anyone know what the deal with the dual sims is? Sounds like it depends on the network?

 

[nade]

Looks promising, already seen this:

This, even the Oxygen OS 3.0.2 Marshmallow update for the OP2 was filled with various bugs, even though it's been in public beta for a couple of months, and forced OP to pull back the update. I love OP's hardware but the stock software is just not reliable.

Dual SIMs = 2 SIM cards = 2 networks. So for example you can use an EE and O2 SIM together. When texting/calling it will ask you which SIM you would like to send it from. You can also choose which SIM to be your default SIM.

Defo in! Now I just want to find a nice, clear case.

 

[djimty]

Ordered!

 

[elrasho]

lol at £309 price. Should have been £280ish to make it viable. Why pay so much for CM13 based phone when if you add just £50 you can get an LG G5

 

[adey]

Shame about the camera or I would have been all over this

What do you think makes the G5 better than this?

And this is not CM13 based.

 

[elrasho]

Its not running buggy CM13

 

[kona786]

Read above. Plus OLED over LCD any day of the week. And let's not get to LGs skin and plastic coating.
