OnePlus Two Rumors

Just saw this on GSMA. Specs don't seem to be the biggest upgrade and that price is significantly higher than what we paid for the One.
Source: http://www.gsmarena.com/resellers_start_listing_oneplus_two_months_before_launch-news-10377.php

This version of the phone was at the coolicool site for more than a month!
Simply gsmarena found it yesterday!

yeah I saw the news today as well on several source,
Was hoping they will start to use SD 810, and possibly make the memory convention at least 4gb, to cater for at least 64bit memory space of usable space 2gb max.
I wonder what kinda project their operating system will be based on since they going to do if its not CyanogenMod, it will be one of the biggest challenge they will face especially for user who likes to have their own custom rom.

Four GB of ram on a phone is 100% unnecessary at least for now. Cyanogenmod may still work with them in future we do not know for sure. Even if there is no cm 'S' series firmware available in the future, most likely it will come in nightlies as regular builds.

I keep seeing price estimates of $550 and if that is USD, then I think they are making a big mistake (ala Nexus 6 by Google). To me, I saw the point of this phone as something similar to the Nexus 4/5 - a phone that offered a lot at a favourable price over the competition.
From a Canadian perspective at least, a price of $550 USD will mean an end price of around $780 CDN after shipping, currency conversion (which is at about 16.5% right now) and taxes on delivery. That's nearly $300 more than it is for the OnePlus One (which runs about $500 CDN depending on the province you are in). I can't see anyone up here wanting to go that route since it is the same range as every other Android flagship (which run between $600-$700 plus tax) and unless things improve drastically on the customer support front, there is still a lot more risk and hassle buying a phone from OPO than going to your local mall and picking up a phone. If they get as good as say Google is with the Nexus phones (I had easy RMA experiences with them numerous times with the Nexus 4 and 5 where I got brand new phones in about a week) then that may change my opinion.
Of course, Canada may not be a huge market for them and it's not like our weak dollar is their problem but I think they are selling quite a few OPO's here now and that market I can easily see drying up real fast if they raise the price that much. Thought I thought the same for the Nexus 6 as well and maybe that is selling well in Canada despite it being twice the cost of the Nexus 5.

I believe users who bought opo were looking for an upgrade to nexus 5 or bigger phone then nexus 5, but thought nexus 6 was either too big or too expensive lol. If opo releases one plus two that's significantly more expensive, I see even less people taking a risk on this manufacturer in the future

No body would buy it for that price anyway.... Why would someone buy a Chinese phone for high brands prices
The note 4 would be a better choice..

OnePlus had an AMA today and said they were still using the same business plan of small profit margins. The price would only go up if suppliers raised prices.

I second this... And if these specs from the link on OP are true (since these are just rumors), I will most likely not be getting the OnePlus Two; totally not worth it. I really hope these rumors are fake, or I'll be going back to HTC as my next phone.

Here is the latest from the rumor mill:
5.5-inch QHD display size
Snapdragon 810
4GB RAM
3,300mAh battery
Android 5.0
RMB2,699 yuan ($435)

This looks better and more probable than the rumor linked in the OP.
It may also have dual-sim capability and an SD card slot:
A still image allegedly taken from a OnePlus promotional video, supposedly shows a device that might be the next phone offered by the upstart manufacturer. The photo reveals a device that supports dual SIM cards and has a microSD slot.

If this is true (and it's a big if), I sure hope that dual SIM is an option since it would make developing custom ROMs nearly impossible.

Looks like an awful hybrid of the OPO and the Yotaphone..

So OnePlusOne is using the SnapDragon 810 v2.1 ...... But I want the new SnapDragon 820?

You'll probably have to hold out for the LG G4 Pro then, as this rumoured device supposedly features this chip. It sounds like it could be a great handset, hopefully its smaller than 5.7" though, I think 5.5" is the max size for a phone, anything bigger and you might as well get a tablet.

I heard OnePlus is gona push the boundary and introduced the worlds first smartphone with 10k screen and a PPI of 1,000 :cyclops:

Android Updates broken even with the nexus line

So I have a Nexus (6) device, and i thought that if i get a nexus device i will receive updates the day that they are released. It's been 2 days and i still can't update my phone to the latest version. I'm not talking about OTA here, I'm talking about factory images that are not released yet. 3 phones google has to update, 3 phones that they made!! 3 and they can't even manage that? It's pathetic really, this is the last nail in the coffin for me, after 6 years of being an android fan i will switch to ios and buy the iPhone 7. Honestly i cant wait for my phone to get updates when they are released and to be supported for 4 years!

be patient my friend

I dont like it either but buying an iphone?

Surprised 2 days of waiting so far makes you this angry... I mean I could understand the anger at waiting over a week but 2 days? Wow...
Sent from my Nexus 6 using XDA-Developers mobile app

Since they never announced a release date, you can't really say they're 2 days late. Unlike iOS each phone is different hardware from a different manufacturer. If you'd feel better they could be like Apple and push the release back till all their devices are ready. Which is all and good, till the shoe is on the other foot and your devices' update is ready and you're left waiting for the other devices.

Not saying you rant post is cool just commenting that this might be the strangest roll out so far. Usually they have them all at once. It's a little weird. Gotta say even apple beats them at this

I'd rather wait a week after rollout to get a fully cooked update rather than an immediate update that drains my battery in 1hr or turns my phone into a paperweight.
Patience. If you're so eager just install the Dev Beta. and play with that until the update comes out.

It's normal for the tablets to be first, if you noticed, it was WiFi only devices that have nougat (Pixel C, Nexus 9 wifi etc). Give it time, and we'll all have it.

Second maybe. Remember the MM rollout with the new factory image every other day situation? For awhile there nobody had any clue why there were multiple different MM images. Every time i installed an image it seemed like a new one was up as soon as i finished. When it was confirmed it was for different carrier tweaks it all made more sense, maybe they are trying to avoid that this time around.

Ask SAMSUNG fanatics how long they wait to get the new OS. ?
Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

I am only guessing but perhaps there is a bug in the final release. Maybe something they are working on before we get it. I would rather wait a few days if that be the case.
The preview 5 is fairly close to the final version so there won't be much changes. (I have a Nexus Player and it has already updated. Frankly the only change I noted was the Beta program warning not there anymore.)

Hopefully you won't have to wait too much longer.

Huawei Mate 9 leaks in high resolution images 2 days in advance of release.

The Huawei Mate 9, which will be officially announced this month, has appeared in high resolution leaked photos showing the final unit with Leica-engineered dual-camera setup.
The leaked photos are consistent with material that's surfaced previously, showcasing a big metal smartphone with a dual-camera setup, accompanied by a dual-LED flash and laser autofocus module.
The handset is rumored to have a 5.9-inch display with 1080p resolution and is to be powered by the Huawei HiSilicon Kirin 960 flagship-tier processor, paired with up to 6GB of RAM and up to 128GB of storage. The Huawei Mate 9 allegedly runs Android 7.0 Nougat skinned with the manufacturer's EMUI 5.0 interface.

Agreed.
Plus, the Kirin 960 isn't much faster as well (for non-gamers that is as the GPU-side however is massively quicker (but current games run just fine on the 950 as well, imho)) and pretty expensive so will hold onto the Mate 8 for the time being :good:

it is all about the price about this one, I am also disspointed with the camerabump and camera modul, it looks not very stylish and not up to huawies recent standards.
I am a gamer so for personally k960 is very much neeeded. The picture abouve I still see black borders against the screen this is disappointing, I think otherwise Nubia Z9 has done very good with this and I wish all other manufactures would do the same to create borderless screen

The leaks seem to be getting confirmed (or thrown out) as the 4th approaches. On a Note 4 (but running Note 7 softwate) and have a ROM'd MediaPad X2 (which was a PITA to update) . So I like rooted Huawei devices with new ROMs so looking at 3 very different devices:
In the spirit of the thread, my first pick
- Mate 9 mostly for the great devs here. Nougat would be a bonus, and hopefully chainfires work can be brought over. Not global (or including 4g then off the list.
- LeEco LePro 3 with flash rebate it is absurdly affordable and reasonably reviewed as a whole. Only 5.5 is a real deal thinker. 5.9 on the Mate much better by leaps and jumps ahead.
- Lenovo Phab Pro 2 out (for ordering) now, but holding for the Huawei intro press conference on the 4th. Bigger (like the 6.4), much less performance wise.

Nice phone with nice price lol

Assuming this will be available in the US on the Huawei website as an unlocked version you can use in the US?
Opinion on it being my next phone over my Nexus 6p?

Two sensors (20MP+12MP) 4K video + OIS, new CPU, new GPU, Android 7.0, IR blaster, USB Type-C. Good update over Mate 8.
"Porsche Design" will be not for everyone. Especially design quite like Samsung - front main button ... and price of course.

What was that about making EMUI 5 more like a stock? LOL
Won't complain though. The light filter is the only thing I miss (no root). Let's hope we will get it too.

i like the tighter spacing in the quick settings, finally we can cram more settings in there and use the available space properly

Title updated as this form is limited to India only. Will check more on this and confirm.
Even though limited to India but as India variant may get the update, we can wish others will get as well.
So others can fill as well, it wont harm anything

rip india only.... but atleast they will port it then to other variants also 5c is in list so it will most likely get it right? also lastest 5c update kinda make apps unstable, randomly just shuts down like once in a week.... not big issue but if you do banking and stuff its kinda annoying....

We are a little over two months away from the O6 if OnePlus sticks with their usual release schedule.
They just ran out of stock and it'd be too much money and time to continue replenishing stock for another 8 weeks

Lucky you you did not buy this phone, wait for One plus 6 , the same as one plus 5t but with a notch .

Why lucky... The Oneplus 5t is fantastic. You can always play the waiting game forever.

This is definitely not something I would call 'luckily", a 5T with a notch is not what I call beautiful.

Yep, hate "the notch". Not a little, a lot. I'd keep my money in my pocket for that reason alone. There is one other reason though, I've soured on the flagship phone drill. I have a Note 8 sitting in a drawer a few feet away. I stopped using it when they had the issue with OEM unlock going away and got this (5T) phone. What I found when I purchased this phone was that in some ways it's better, mostly it's a push, in some ways it's worse. That gets some clarity when you consider the pricing, this phone was just slightly more than half the price of that one and I in no way feeling like the better phone is in a drawer unused. If you ask me the truth is some people haven't figured out the flagship wars are over. Phones are becoming very good and performance is becoming an expected bottom line. Just to be clear, I'm not the only one that thinks this, the OEM's themselves are trying to get people hooked on ecosystems because performance is becoming a non issue. People expect their phone to be fast and work without issue no matter the price point making it hard to sell hardware, you have to sell the software and ecosystem.
Summation... I have bought one, two, sometimes three flagships a year since before android came out. Yeah, I came from windows mobile where the action was in the old days. Android upped the ante and I jumped on day one. I've got money to burn being old and having my retirement in the bank. I could keep right on buying several phones a year but I'm seeing little point. I never wait for anything on the phone now and the only way I can prove this phone is faster than the last one is if I run benchmarks. I'm off the treadmill and I've been thinking of doing it for a couple phones now but the 5T versus Note 8 comparison is what made it happen. There isn't much point anymore in throwing money at phones, I can always buy 500 dollar bottles of wine if I feel like burning money to no particular end at and least doing that will net me a hangover. The 6T having a notch is all I need to know, I throw my money elsewhere whenever something comes out which actually looks like an upgrade.

I think the notch looks nice to be honest. Can't wait for the OnePlus 6

I'm thinking about buying 5T. Pixel 2 doesn't seem like a good value compared to 5T, and Pixel gen 1 is a year older than OP5T at around the same price.
One major downside about the 5T is no project treble. From my understanding this means it won't be upgraded to Android P (because then they'd be mandated to implement treble.) Given the release date, it's sort of like OP5T purposely shipped with Nougat so they can claim it received at least one major update.
But like I said, for the money it's probably the best value right now. I'm interested in hearing what you guys think, particularly in regards to development and overall performance/stability of custom roms.
Without project treble do you think there's enough interest in this device to keep the Devs hanging around a couple of years?
I've gone through 3 phones in 3 years and would ideally like to keep my next phone for awhile. Thanks

guys if the only difference is the notch and 845 is it really worth the upgrade?
i mean P20 has a 40 MP RGB camera which will release next month, i love my 5T, the smoothest experience ive ever had period.
the camera is a let down and from what ive seen its been a let down for a while - i have the mate 10 pro before my 5T and the M10P had amazing cameras,with an overwhelming amount of modes to choose from, almost DSLR like.
i think its too early to decide, but if the only difference is the notch, and SD845 and a somewhat improved camera then i think i may jump on the P20 next as i take quiet a few pictures throughout the day. but its too early without all the specs available (memory / ram / sensor type and size / etc)
oneplus has left an impression on me, one that no other phone has before - but i think their camera game needs a massive re-haul, huawei got lucky with their Leica partnership.

Heyyy everyone. I was just going to buy Oneplus 5t but now I am a bit skeptical to buy it looking at comments regarding its camera performance. I have owned a oneplus 3 and never heard such bad things about it's camera, but oneplus 5t is not the same. Anyway does anyone of you have an idea about honor view 10 ? Have kept it as an option. I can't wait for oneplus 6 to launch as I need a phone on urgent basis

Yup, the 6 will have a notch...
