**** The Official OnePlus 3 Thread ****

Well I've bought it and it's waiting for me at the same o2 store

Did you get an email order confirmation? Because I didn't. I assumed I did when I got emails from o2 but it was for other crap like setting up an account etc.

 

[Sp00n]

Yup, confirmation email for the order actually came 30 minutes after the ready for collection email

I can confirm they aren't locked from o2 too. No branding whatsoever. I did click and collect. The guy in shop queried that I chose the data sim option rather than minutes and when I said it's because I'm sticking my three sim in he just said they had assumed it was something like that

Both sims in at moment. Working fine

How is that 'notification' slider button on the left? On my wifes phone it is a tiny bit wobbly, other than that the device is spot on for build quality.

Actually yea the slider isn't totally solid. Reminds me of the power button on my nexus5 now you've made me notice it

That's really splitting hairs to be honest, it's a pretty solid slider with very clear 'clicks' into position, mine has very little give in it.

Bought one today after been disappointed with the Pixel pricing. Cracking phone for the price, really happy with it. Coming from a Nexus 6.

Same here, my slider is tight like it should be.

 

[Sp00n]

I checked the slider on both the o2 shops handsets they had out, one was definitely tighter than the other.

How does this compare with a Nexus 6P?

Debating keeping hold of my 6P or getting one of these

after the debacle of the Pixel, and rumours pixel launcher isn't being released to other handsets I'm also debating this. It does seem like a side step in someways though.

Ye I wont be getting the Pixel this year thanks to G's outrageous pricing so wondering what to do....

I have a feeling the 6P is a better over-all phone...hard to give up the front face dual speakers

Admittedly I don't have an OP3 but I can't see the point in swapping a 6P for one. Aside from a slightly better processor and a bit more RAM the difference is minimal. Plus you lose the quick updates of a Nexus phone.

Not really worth the change tbh. Camera is better on the 6p.

OP3 is a bit slicker and faster and nicer design but you lose stereo speakers. Wait for next years handsets imo.

Just walked into o2 and bought one. Sim free.
Paid £346 which included a £10 Paygo sim. Is that the right price or have I been overcharged? Can I do a cashback / quidco if I bought in store?

That's correct mate. You don't pay the extra £10 if you buy online

You could have ordered online via quidco for collection for £336 minus quidco

 

[Egon]

Also student discount if you have an NUS card

NUS only in store, you still have to pay £10 for the payg sim :/

But buying in store doesn't cover you form DSR in case you want to give it back on within 14 days

 

[Matt-Page]

Anyone moved from the Lumia 950 or other Windows phone to this? How was getting data across the the OP3?

 

[kona786]

Any else really like the notifications tones OP included in this phone. I love how subtle and tasteful they are.

 

[smilertoo]

I wonder what the sales spike for this phone was like after the Google pixel reveal.
