Aren't those colours from the case being advertised?

Yes. No way OnePlus would release colours like that on the phone.

Didn't seem to help the OnePlus 3, battery life wasn't any better than the Axon 7 with an QHD display.

Battery life on the OnePlus was terrible imo. Far better on iPhone 7 Plus in my experience. So, not hopeful of it changing with 5.

Terrible don't agree. The battery is on par with other equivalent android phones. And before you say it, yes I am using the oneplus 3 so I can say from experience, so I'm a bit confused that you're saying its from experience.

I'm saying that having owned both that the battery life on iPhone 7 plus is FAR better. Seriously. That's my take on it.

I also agree it's about "on-par" with other plus-sized Android phones. I found the battery life on Nexus 6P to be a bit worse than OP3.

GSMArena agrees with you on the OP3 vs Iphone 7 plus, but the OP3T is significantly better.

Battery life on my 3T is great.

Having experienced a significantly bad experience with Oneplus I don't recommend them to anyone

.

I hear the phones are good, but the support is abysmal.

Sp00n · 19 Jun 2017 at 14:26

I would recommend purchasing through O2, at least you have the option of using their support.

Battery life is fine on the OnePlus 3, 4-5 hours SoT is easy to achieve.

However in contrast to an Axon 7 with a 1440p display there really isn't much difference, so the whole battery saving argument was nonsense at least in this case.

If you want terrible battery life try a Galaxy S6 or some device with Snapdragon 810.

Not interested in iPhone battery life, means nothing to me.

Good point. I think I'll go this route.

I wouldn't pay any attention to battery tests, they almost always get it wrong

They rate Galaxy S6 battery life better than a OnePlus 3, I went from Galaxy S6 to and OnePlus 3 and that's just nonsense.

Interesting vid on the verge.. also seems to show the final phone and a lot of the prototypes etc

So it's basically an OP3 with a better camera. I can live with that. I'll miss the chamfered edges though. Prefer gunmetal too as it's not a grease magnet.

funguST · 19 Jun 2017 at 19:55

Good camera, good battery. Not overly fussed with ott specs. OK looks like an iphone, which is a shame but still not a bad looking phone. Now if they can keep the price close to the 3T i'll bite and get one (possibly from o2 if they are going to stock it). Will see tomorrow around 5pm i guess.

Camera details leaked a day early. http://www.gsmarena.com/oneplus_camera_detailed_one_day_ahead_of_launch-news-25694.php

Would have preferred wide angle over telephoto. Ah well at least it has dual cams. Stereo speakers would be the icing on the cake.

Is the launch at 4pm GMT?

They've been advertising 5pm BST rather than saying GMT. O2 showing same I think.

Cheers. I hope O2 gets stock ASAP.

This is first time I'm considering getting one from them. Not had any probs needing to contact support yet, but I do worry about it.

Here's hoping their stock comes sooner rather than later.
