Oneplus 5T specs/prices released!

https://www.theverge.com/2017/11/16/16642542/oneplus-5t-official-specs-release-date-price-photos

I think a solid phone for 499 unlocked price. I wish there was an updated SoC, but alas I guess we cannot complain. A new camera, new 2k OLED 6" screen. Similar chassis. Fingerprint reader moved to the back. Sort of disappointed it's shipping with 7.1.1 and not Oreo straight out the box.

 

Very interesting. Will keep my eye on it.
Just hope they have mounted the screen correctly this time around.

 

I know of the 5 having some screen issues but I bought the 3T which has been problem free and I got my fiance the OP2 almost 2 years ago and it's been pretty problem free. My only gripe with OnePlus has been sometimes being a little overzealous with promised dates with OS upgrades BUT they do happen.

 

I actually thought about 3T, but no expandable storage is no go for me, and 64GB is not enough.

 

Hrmm well they did offer the 3T with 128 GB for I think 479 or 489. At the time it was a better deal than the S7, and all the other GSM phone deals. I did want the original PIxel but I couldn't justify like 850 for the Pixel XL

 

Keep in mind that you can check out the Oppo R11s if you want early opinions of the display, camera, and chassis.

Really? I must have missed that. In my country 3T is still being sold...for the price of 5 with 128GB...
I will see how prices for LG V30 will go, I might go for 5T instead when the time comes for me to upgrade. Or I will go eco and get a new Moto G .

 

No waterproofing? Scratch this one off my list.

 

Honestly I came from my Z3V being "waterproof" to my OnePlus 3T. I honestly could care less about my phone not being full waterproof. Do you go swimming or take videos in the shower? lol

 

Dito. I never understood waterproofing. What is so important about it? I also don't swim or shower with my phone.

 

I have a 6-year-old.

Wasn't trying to judge, that is a valid point. My Z3V had video of people swimming and shooting video in the ocean, and I just can't see beyond .01% of actual users utilizing their phones for that.

 

Man, really torn between this and LG V30...

 

While I haven't used an actual LG product in awhile, I do like how OxygenOS is pretty stock and clean. My 3T just got an Android 8.0 Oreo update this weekend.

 

This is what attracts me to Oneplus - near stock Android.
Overall I'm hearing a lot of good about LG V30, and that it's skin is OK, but I have read the complains that some people after using it for some time do get a little bit of lag, and this concerns me a bit.
Also, 4GB of RAM vs 8GB (because I would get the 8/128 version). I haven't used an Android device in three years, and I know that it came a long way, but I do remember that Android likes its RAM. Even if today 4GBs are enough, in a couple of years (the minimum period I'm planing on keeping a phone) I'm sure it would be better if there was more RAM.

However I would be interested to know how Oneplus phones are as "phones" as in making calls. I heard that call quality/signal strength on Oneplus is not on par with your usual flagship (S8, V30, etc.)...

 

Umm my 3T has the 6 GB RAM version, and it's been good even through 2 OS updates. I would say 4 is decent but in a year or 2 it won't be enough. The OnePlus call quality is ok, better than my Sony but worse than flagships. But....it is also half the price.

 

I just got my V30+ (128gb), so if you got any questions hit me up.

 

How about the camera performance on 5T?

 

Heads up everyone. Oneplus is in a credit card fraud investigation at the moment....stay away!

 

android central...

 

I've bought 2 phones directly from OnePlus without issues.

 

Many have. Im not taking chances. There have been numerous people now with credit card fraud charges from OnePlus. No thanks.

 

Welp, this completely scratches OnePlus from my list...

 

Yep...same here. I was getting ready to pony up for the star wars edition...just for a collector item. But after reading that NOPE!
