1+ have down clocked the chipset to TRY and stop the over heating issues.

My next phone will be the Xiaomi Mi5 with the 820 chipset. It's due out in the UK in Nov this year.

Officially out in the UK deuse? As in a proper release? Interesting...

Decent specs, hope they have better luck with the 810 than other companies.

They won't, rumoured clockspeeds on test devices are 1.5GHz. That appears to be their answer and it's not very encouraging.

Yep. I wouldn't touch a 1+ phone with a bargepole.

I see I got the month wrong "Xiaomi Mi 5 release in UK: December 2015"

That will be a beast of a phone. Tempted to wait if it will officially be released, with official sar ratings etc.

I don't think they'll fail with the screen again, unless they want to be ridiculed for it

Wasn't the last one under $350? That's way more than I'm prepared to pay

it was $299 I believe.. which translated to £299 obviously

£450 they can forget it.

If it converts to 1:1 in price (and usually does)
Only the hard core fans will bite

It's now flagship price with market stall support

Even if it was as before I wouldn't be getting one

So from the sounds of things it looks to be the OPO but refined. No SD slot was kinda expected seeing as the OPO didn't have one. No wireless charging but personally I don't find that an issue (I still prefer wired for speed). Also looks like there's a good chance it will support all LTE bands used in the UK.

As for the camera, they have some ex HTC guys helping them with the software... from my experience with the M7, and the reviews of the M8 and M9 camera, this doesn't give me much confidence

Struggling to see how that's going to make it worth £450.

neil_g · 10 Jul 2015 at 11:05

i was a late OPO adopter so in no rush to upgrade, will see what the reviews say.

ebilcake · 10 Jul 2015 at 12:08

It looks like a decent phone, I'm just unsure about SN810 and their software which wasn't great on the OnePlus One.

They've only just fixed the touchscreen issues, camera software never really worked properly and ota updates never worked.

Mr_Cool · 10 Jul 2015 at 12:09

MKBHD looks to be unveiling some details about the camera next week.

If the phone wasn't 5.5" I'd be interested unfortuntately it is lol.
I know they said it'll be smaller but I think they mean they slimmed down the bezels.
