**** The Official OnePlus 5 Thread ****

[booyaka]

Disappointed that it suggests it's not launching with 8.0.

The look in the comparison photo above reminds me of the Nexus 6 size/shape. Guess it's probably about the same size.

yeah - that's strange. Still awaiting the OP5 getting 8.0 which seems to be taking ages since it's been around for a while and being "near" stock on the OP5 I can't see how it takes this long to work into the updates

Rumour has it, that itll sell for £449 in the UK. If i get student discount on that my S7E will be on the bay

I see Banggood have the OP5T on pre order for £388.

I think they only had student discount on the OP5 to clear stock for the 5T.

I'd be surprised if they have it

This guy will be in trouble!

That's what I posted this morning that went completely unnoticed
I must say that edge to edge display is really tempting, waiting for the reviews.

 

[Quinnaay]

Looks great!!

I bought a OP5 7 weeks ago

That's the thing with OP phones, it only takes about 6 months for them to be obsolete.

What makes them obsolete after 6 months,. I am still using a plus 3 and very happy, feel no need to upgrade. People always seem to want the latest and greatest when what they already have will do the job just fine.

It's just excess spendables. Better than shoving it up your nose imo

They cut off support pretty quickly though.

They cut off support pretty quickly though.

The Oneplus 3/3T is getting 2 years of software updates including oreo, and it has been steadily getting sw updates to have the features of the oneplus 5.

Oneplus 2 and X were dropped quite quickly but that's not the case with the 3 onwards.

^ True kona...

The only reason the OnePlus 2 and X were dropped was because Qualcomm said that they won't be supporting software past marshmallow.

Other than that OnePlus have been pretty good in releasing software updates and will continue to do so for their devices from the OP3 onwards.

 

[V_R]

Not to mention the X was the ginger stepchild! My other half is using one at the moment as she dropped her Sony. Horrid phone.

 

[Sp00n]

Always liked the look of the OPX, shame they didn't update it.

The OP3T never included much over the original OP3, the OP3 was not obsolete. But how is that any different from Samsung phones like the Galaxy S and Note series?

The change to the OP5T is a little more obvious due to the display but otherwise I doubt there will be much difference.

 

[welshdragon]

Really excited for this. Seem's to have the right mix of everything for me at the moment. I'll miss the magic my pixel seems to weave into photo's though
