OnePlus 3T

A lot of people swipe on the keyboard to type nowadays. Swiftkey and the built in Google keyboard both support it. Works very well, it's surprising how well it knows what word you're typing just from gliding your finger around.

Touch latency means that the 'line' that follows your finger around might lag behind ever so slightly.

I've not found that it's affected the responsive feel of the device at all. When you tap things they immediately open. When you do pretty much any normal operation like pulling notifications, swiping between screens etc it's great. It only seems to apply to how fast things follow your finger when you're quickly dragging something around, and most people only noticed now that someone mentioned it and said how to check.
This demonstrates the effect well:
See how even at 50ms, which is considered normal on smartphones, it still lags behind a little. So I wouldn't worry too much. It just gives 'quickly dragging something around' a bit of an elastic feel.

I was just a little worried at how some of the articles are reporting a latency of 93ms :eek:. I game a lot and there is a noticeable difference between a 1ms and a 8ms monitor (input latency), so hence why I was worried 50 to 93.
 
My order was due for despatch on the 5th but updated as despatched today. It's still showing a delivery date of the 9th but we'll see what happens.

Can anyone recommend a protective case for the 3T? The standard ones look nice but they are just clip ons, I want one that protects the sides properly but isnt too bulky.

Ideas / Photos?

Is that screenshot from a oneplus? I tried that method and the UI broke... like, the pulldown menu was offcenter, the shelf had a sort of border around it, the power/reboot button overlay was derped etc.

Yes OP3 - odd, that method works for all other phones I've tried it on. Oh well. N isn't far off now.

Just tried it again, works for the most part, it's just the pulldown thing and those overlay buttons that are broken.... all the apps seem to handle it fine. Maybe I will put up with those things looking a bit odd, for now.

Edit: Ah, it also breaks the controls in manual mode in the camera. Oneplus really designed everything for 480!
Will just look forward to N, I think.

This is poor advice.
Please test a Oneplus 3/3T before purchasing.

it is a known issue, acknowledged by Oneplus themselves.

It wasn't advice, I was simply stating that in my opinion, it's not a big issue. Certainly not as big an issue as some places (reddit/xda forum etc.) would have you believe.

A friend at work has a OP3 (after buying one on my recommendation) and has never once mentioned any issues with the phone. let alone anything regarding touch latency. And yet nothing has changed regarding touch from the OP3 to the OP3T.

So, like I said - In My Opinion, it's a complete non-issue and has been blown out of proportion.

Anyway, delivery of my 128GB 3T looks set for tomorrow, it's in Gatwick at the moment :D
 
I can't swipe the keyboard fast enough to outpace the lag, for what it's worth, the 'typing streak' follows my finger fine. And it's definitely not affected flinging pokeballs :p

Speaking of which I was still at 75% at 13:30, this was after getting up at 7:40 and playing about 50 minutes worth of Pokemon Go at lunchtime. My 6P is normally at about 60% by then. This thing finally got down to 60% (with sorta moderate use) by the time I got home at 17:10. Pretty decent battery.
Biggest drain in the stats is actually Google services, interestingly, above PoGo, the screen, etc.
 
So finally got mine setup and saw the VoLTE symbol come up (EE SIM only contract). Thought from previous experience that it would not let me make a call and I'd have to disable.. NOPE! Lo and behold, it stayed in VoLTE when making calls and still gave me 4G data!! Previous experience was that it just wouldn't call.

Colour me seriously impressed :D
 
Ordered one of these last Monday and it arrived yesterday, opted for the 128GB one, coming from a Note 4 this thing seems much quicker and seems a great bit of kit for the price!
 
Mine came today, all set up - coming from a moto G 2nd gen it's a bit of an upgrade!! :D

And you'd have to be seriously picky to notice any touch issues.

The vibration is a little weak but that's about my only criticism. And I'd like to have Google now on the left swipe but keep the OnePlus launcher options like the icons etc.

Yes Mate it got delivered to my family home this morning but I won't be able to get hold of it until Monday at the earliest as I'm working this weekend.

Also got the Spigen case that you recommended. I can't wait to use the device as it's the phone that I've been waiting for seeing as the Pixel costs an arm, a leg...scrap that...hell a whole damn body! :eek:
