Where are you getting the 8+ for £550?
I was ready to buy OP5 on lauch, as camera is now one of key features on phones I buy, but not this and not at this price point. Well hyped, but mediocre in reality.On paper and in OnePlus’ marketing materials, this dual camera is the OnePlus 5’s big differentiator. In reality, it’s a major letdown. Firstly, the main camera lacks optical image stabilization (OIS) and produces soft images as a result. OnePlus will tell you that its extra-wide aperture and electronic stabilization make OIS superfluous, but the only phone I’ve yet used in which that’s true is the Google Pixel. The Pixel has raised my expectations of mobile cameras to a very high standard, and right now I only see the Galaxy S8, HTC U11, and, to a lesser degree, LG G6 coming close to it. Everyone else, the iPhone included, feels like a generation behind.
yes and yes.

Ordered mine at 00:01.
Paid for priority delivery but website still quotes ETA as 4th July.
A little disappointed with that, I hate waiting for toys.
I walked into O2 yesterday and walked out with one Coming from an S8+ I love it - only downside so far is the camera slightly and the screen. Performance is night and day.
Are you with O2?
Not spoken to anyone yet who has purchased from them but is with another network.

Performance difference is night and day? Is the S8+ really that bad? I have neither device, just interested!
The downside of the U11 is the barebones software experience whereas Oxygen OS is superb.
