No News. Oneplus does not communicate with owners of older Phones. But i can imagine that they are annoyed because of the dozens of threads asking for a ETA on the Nougat update @ the Oneplus-Forums.
I dont know who, but one of the Oneplus-Employees said it will come. Thats all we have

Hello peeps! I just bought an S7 Edge (had an S6) and I love it so far.
I have one simple question: do you guys think we'll get Android O? Sorry if it sounds like a stupid question.
Thanks!
most likely, yes. samsung usually bring 2 major updates to their devices

There are Stock Roms already? So if that continues with more Stock Roms for S7(e) we get toll Android R The LG G2 has Customs Roms for Android 7.1.1 and is like 5 years old

Considering the S6 came with Lollipop and received Marshmallow and Nougat, I highly doubt the S7 (it came with Marshmallow) won't receive O at some point.
Okay, thanks! I'll probably keep the S7 Edge for more than 6 months this time

Knowing Samsung, then I believe we will see android O on our devices in January February . Because for Sammy it always takes 6 months or more to update their devices, and they will now be focusing on the s8 not on the s7.

Yup, you're right. Hope they won't delay the update as they did with the S6 though.
Guys what do you think of the leak specs and price ! To make sure currently it's out of stock on oppomart website.
I am sure this gonna be highlighted among Flagships cause of Its specifications. But look vice, Not that great improvement !
Let's see for official release somewhere in May last or June starting.
Update: Now some official Statement that the next OnePlus device will be named 5 and it will be released in summer(official leaks).
Well, OPPOmart, they got 50% chance wrong so who knows.
And someone else mentioned 1+5 will still use 5.5' 1080P, with a much better looking than the one on OPPOmart.
The battery of my 6P is dying, and it's so hard for me to decide eIther keeping waiting for 5 or getting 3T right now.

Just wait for a month. 5 will be better than 3T.
Probably won't be out until July. Samsung is getting most of 835 right now.
Worst case would be till October, not sure if I could wait for that long lol.

Maybe the price for the 3T goes down, after the official oneplus 5 announcement
I'll go to China during summer, they have one more color option of 3T, and I like that one a lot.
Also the price is little bit cheaper (around 10%).
And when 5 will probably sell out in seconds lol. Had never been the lucky guy.

A month ? Try 2 and ONLY if he is lucky, considering 1+ track record when it comes to launching phones, i say a more reasonable time window would be 5-6 months, 4 at the earliest.

In summer, its coming in summer PS: officially leaked today at the verge.
Not having a need to upgrade atm, the 3T is just fine for me :good:. Maybe when the 5T is announced.
I saw a Twitter post by Pei saying that he will be "looking forward to the next couple of months."
I wonder what that could mean ???

Either May and June, or June and July. I still haven't flashed a single rom besides open beta on my 3T. I'm sure it'll still feel quite new to me once I start slowly trying out other roms before the 5 is released. Taking my sweet time because it's all worthy development. I might skip it, though. Only because the 3T is such a good phone. It's too soon to upgrade for me.
I'm still watching, though...
I like what OnePlus is doing. Hopefully, they keep up the good work.
Do you guys think the dimensions will be the same?
With a better screen to body ratio whis phone would be awesome and I would buy it.

No words on this ! But i think OnePlus will definitely change their look, and feel cause OnePlus is known for it ?
Just like an insightful poster said earlier, dont get your hopes too high on this ETA. OnePlus aint exactly a product launching guru and those new Qualcomm chipsets will be a bit hard to come by in the earlier months. One shouldnt reasonably expect the new phone to be easily available before the very last weeks of summer.
If i were in a hurry, i'd go for the 3T without any delay. Its not like its getting old any time soon. I would just wait a good offer.
In order to improve over the 3t, what I'm thinking OnePlus has to do are the following:
_ not follow samsung with that bezeless objective: optimization is fine (like Lg did with g6). I know that S8 is the state of art design, I tried it some days ago, but also the risk of glass breaks rises with it
_ camera: the 5 needs a concrete improvement both in sensors (1.7-1.8 like s8) and software. If they put 2 back cameras like g6, hope to have a good use of the second and not the usual B&W
_ battery: hope to have a 4000, the 3t has great autonomy, hope they will improve it
_ display fhd is ok for me, smartphones don't need qhd (i know what I'm writing, I had note 4 since February)
_ hw for me is OK, s835+6gb ddr4+128gb rom (maybe 256?) is beast hw
_ front facing speakers: utopy
_ Ip68 is a plus, I don't really care
Well that's all.
Ah, I'm waiting the year where smartphone will all have sapphire screen: ok gorilla glass, but scratches or micro ones, they always appears.

That's not a valid excuse, 7.1 came out in oct 2016, 7 months later the s8 was released with an os that came out in august 2016.
These are not midrange phones, we deserve better.

So what is your complaint exactly? You're angry about the fact that we didn't get a rom then, even though we're getting the latest version now? You knew about it, bought it, then came here to complain about it 7 months or so afterwards?
What was so important that changed from 7.0 to 7.1? I have a feeling you're just looking to whine about anything possible
My complaint is pretty clear, not sure why you can't see it.
When Android 7.1 was released, it was seen as a Nexus/Pixel exclusive with pixel-only exclusives. It's more surprising that the Note 8 did come with Android 7.1 than the S8 not getting an update. Most skinned manufacturers decided early on to skip 7.1 in favor of 8.0
Why didn't we get 6.1?
Samsung releases the major builds and frequent updates. We don't need stuff that's more suited for a pixel. If you're that concerned, buy a pixel.

Sorry I should have been more clear and misunderstood. By the time that 8.1 was out development on 8 would have already started.
Short answer. Do you seriously expect them to complile thousands of packages all over again for a version that changes basically nothing, only to do it all over again 2 months later for a major release?

Yes, that's their job, they dont get to take a year off after compiling one version of android. If they can release x.1 updates on the note they can do the same on the s8.

Sorry Guys...
If you were hoping to get updated to EMUI / OREO 8.0 in Quarter One...
Like Huawei / Honor PROMISED!
Then it saddens me to inform you it's not coming until at least Quarter Two of 2018 now...
https://www.xda-developers.com/honor-7x-honor-8-emui-8-q2-2018-honor-france/
Are you sticking with the 7X now?
I personally don't like companies that lie to their customers.. They should have never thrown Quarter One out there if they new they were not going to meet target.
It's the "Budget Phone" of the 2017 lineup.. but this is still a slap in the face.
It's still coming just a little late.
You sound like a junkie desperate for a fix.
It missed the target by a few weeks a month or more there's bigger things to worry about.
Compare it to the recent botch job of a update by Xiaomi.

It's not that bad.We are getting it just a bit late .I personally think it's better to wait than getting a totally messy miui 9 device.EMUI is much better and offers better customisation than MIUI.

Now Huawei / Honor Has Shown Their True Colors....
THIS IS THE BOTTOM TIER UNIT.. AND NOT WORTH ANY REAL EFFORT.. In their eyes.
There is not a Gosh Darn Reason this should not have gotten Oreo by now when the View 10 lanuched with it.. and now, they are saying it may not be here until JUNE!
It's because it a $199.99 phone... that's why.
I personally do not like being lied to.. I went through this with ZTE.. promising 7.0 and giving nothing.
I do believe they also promised the 6X Nougat.. and delayed and delayed it.. ( Did it ever get it? )
And Finally,
What Does This Do To The Development Community ?
There Is No Nougat Image Even Released ! and it's been over 60 days since this device went on sale !
There Sure As Hell Ain't Going To Be An Oreo Image Released at this pace UNTIL July / August !!!
Can't create any ROM's without any Images! Stripped or Otherwise.
Project Treble.......................................Down The Drain........... now, for at least several months.
If Ever.
Do You See ANY Developer's Waiting Around For This Device ?
Not when the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5, Moto G6 Plus, OnePlus 6 Hell..... EVEN HONOR"S OWN VIEW 10! are right there and will have STRONG Developmental Support behind each and every one of them.
All of you that rooted.... you did the right thing... may as well have fun with it if you are going to keep it (Just don't muck it up so you can at least sell it at some point)
Even though it's feature packed (in my eyes) for a budget device Honor is just not "Honorable"
That means A LOT to me. And you're telling us you can't get the final tweaks right within the next 50+ days???
Then you are not putting forth much effort to meet target on your bottom of the line device.
And the competition I mentioned is just around the corner.. and they WILL LAUNCH with Oreo 8.0.. and get TREMENDOUS Development Support... with or without the advantages of Project Treble...
The 7X 's Loyalty Is About To Be Tested.
Doesnt bother me actually... id I NEED Oreo, ill likely just hop on a custom rom (Already got a beta AOSP Oreo out) but happy with 7 for now. I came form the V8 Blade Pro so waiting another Q or 2 isn't that bad.
I'd rather wait for a finished product as opposed to getting a half assed rushed disaster tbh.
I find it disappointing that there is not a full firmware available for download.
Are they delaying Oreo for other reasons? They should at least have the firmware for Nougat.
How did they install from the factory? Seems a little lame.
When did they promise a Q1 release? Cause any time I've reached out to customer service, all they told me was "soon." I know there was some XDA article about it back in like September, but I never really determined if that was anything more than hearsay.
Honor US has said they're shooting for a release "by April", which technically does not rule out a Feb/March release (though I doubt it will come before April).

I somewhat agree though I'm not too ticked off. This is a very solid phone, but by the time we get 8.0 (April apparently) Android P will already be in the works. Well, just know that I'll most likely never purchase another Honor device again. The Moto G6 Plus is looking really attractive though, I might ditch the 7x for the G6 this coming summer.
Go look in the Roms, kernels forum, it's there.
I'd like to see a list of which companies have NOT missed delivery dates at some point for their updates along the way. It isn't unusual at all, and doesn't really meet the criteria of a lie in my opinion, but everyone can take it how they like. I've managed projects before so I know that timelines slip for many reasons, very rarely is it becuase of a desire to decieve anyone. But I can't ascribe motive to them, I can only see what is happening. Anyway, sorry it has apparrently been a life-destorying moment for some to hear this news, but I agree with many on here that I would rather get a stable release even if it slips a little bit. Being in the USA I know I'll get it last anyway, so it isn't something I'm checking for every day anyway.
Dude chill a little man damn. Big deal, things get delayed, **** happens. And there is a rom posted in the rom section of this phone. How could you miss it when you post in almost every thread when anyone talks about rooting their phone. It's right here man,

It's not by "some hack in their basement" it's posted by OpenKirin which is a known development group. Sometimes you sound like you freaking work for Huawei and now you sound like you work for their competitors.

Do u expect the Moto G6 Plus to get newer versions of Android faster? The Moto G5 Plus released with Nougat and has never recieved the Oreo update. The patches date back to October or November whereas the Honor 7X is recieving the Feb security patches on some units.
I don't really get why r people freaking out abt this. U paid $199 which is a great value, so what if an update got delayed by a month or 2. Samsung has done this, Motorola has done it too many times to even count.
Oreo 8.0 has a bad rep for being unstable which is making it hard for OEMs to roll the update out.
And finally u can't expect a company to give equal emphasis to a BUDGET phone and to a FLAGSHIP phone. Thats the reality. Pick up any samsumg mid Ranger and u'll find that the Honor 7X has recieved more updates, the same goes for anything from Motorola. The Honor View 10 is reported to cost around $400-$450 which is twice the cost of the Honor 7X.
There is the argument abt Dev support but I can guarantee atleast 90-95% ppl using Android don't care abt ROMs or rooting.
