I've had the phone for 2 days now and love it. I've not put a case on it as the phone just looks so lovely without.

Putting a case on it feels like putting vinyl seat covers on a gorgeous leather sofa.

I've got a £50 excess on my house contents accidental damage so I'm going to rely on that to protect the phone.

I would like the back to be less slippy - almost wish dbrand did a clear textured skin.

As it happens these guys do them.
I've used them before for my OP6.

Another shout for xtremeskins here. I have one on my phone. They're very good.

Now that I settled on S10e (finally

), happy to share my 5% discount code for the handset.

Did it make the phone less of a bar of soap?

Are these just on the back?

More grip than just the glass but i went for a red carbon version.

Looks like it's just the back and wraps around the edges.

I was at Royal Ascot yesterday, took a few photo's and thought they were pretty good.

Ultra Wide Angle for example -

Then a horsie trotting by -

Then into pro mode for a fast shutter speed of them flying by during a race -

Then I noticed something as I zoomed in -

Is it me, or are the four at the back all looking at me and the nearest one has a big grin on his face?! What do they know that I don't?!

Is that freaky, or not?

If you go full back then it also covers the sides of the phone.

Good pictures @AndyCr15 - This is what I mean about phones, decent pictures, easy to use, quick to take - Not world class leading snaps that a DSLR would take but absolutely good enough for everyday use.

People get so hung up on the quality of the pictures on a phone, it's ridiculous.

As a side issue - had the phone since launch day, don't think I've used the selfie camera once!!

I've ordered a couple of extreme skins (clear matt and clear gloss) and will let you know how they turn out.

Definitely this.

Pop-up camera almost put me off this phone, but in the end I decided I wouldn't use it anyway and it's better than having a notch

Deluxe1 · 20 Jun 2019 at 16:32

I've not taken a selfie with it yet i have to keep reminding myself the pop up cam still works by opening it every now and then.

Is the cheapest pay monthly contract deal for the OP 7 Pro 4G with Three? (£43 pm for 4gb data)

that's mental - £1061 over 24 months

OR

Buy it outright - £699 and 10gb data on Three for £8 a month. - cost over 24 months - £891 - nearly £200 cheaper.

My OnePlus 7 pro 5G is off to a good start.

Test on S10e - 4G Speed inside home with EE Network via Virgin Mobile MVNO (Mast 20-30m away from home in full view)

Test on OnePlus 7 Pro 5G - 5G Speed inside home with EE Network (Mast 20-30m away from home in full view)

The latency is pants, I thought that was one of the improvements of 5g?

Edit. It is, "We are between 1 to 2 milliseconds," so why is yours so high.

Still early days with 5G, the initial implementation from EE is made to prioritise range. Going forward the 'real' implementation of 5G should have shorter range but much faster speeds and much improved latency.

Tbh I'm loving the huge increase in download. It suits me very well with unlimited YouTube, Netflix and BT Sport data on EE's 5G benefits, which is included in the deal. The phone flies in my usage, luckily I don't game online at all or I would be disappointed.

IvanDobskey · 21 Jun 2019 at 07:38

4g is plenty fast enough for a phone. 5g really not needed.

I'd be happier if they just concentrated on improving 4g coverage.

That's why I buy my phones outright, Contract prices are crazy.
