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...

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.
Sent from my aromatic bacon!
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)
Source: Gizchina
Via: gsmarena.com
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.

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:

Placed pre order on amazon. I am eagerly waiting for reviews. Hope it does not disappoint. I've broken too many phones within a year to justify spending more money lol.
In for one as well. And now we wait...
I see it as being shipped mid May.
A couple more decent review/videos
Interesting, from CNET
Alcatel is pushing its latest phone hard. On Friday, the smartphone-maker announced that its OneTouch Idol 3 is available for pre-order. Arriving a couple days ahead of its April 21 presale date, the phone also carries a lower price point.
The best budget phablets you can buy
Unlocked and ready for either T-Mobile or AT&T networks, the discounted device features a 5.5-inch display.
Specifications -- at least those on paper -- are somewhat robust considering the cost of the handset. There's a 13-megapixel rear camera and an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 processor, for instance.
The Idol 3's real claim to fame, though, it that the display and OS will orient to whatever direction you pick up the device. This reversible feature also adjusts the speaker strength depending on how you hold it: pick it up one way and the "bottom" speaker will dominate; turn it around and the two will switch.
Shipments are expected to begin in May.

I believe the Idol 3 will be a big hit considering it's great specs and low price. It would be nice to see a cyanogenmod for idol 3.
More in depth
@qbking77
Thanks Tim:good:
I am definitely in with this phone! LTE, 2GB RAM. I think it will be a great improvement compare to my current moto G (2014).
I hope we'll se cyanogenmod development for this one!
The Verge gave it a favorable review ...wow.
i preordered too. hopeful for this phone

Would the Idol 3 be an upgrade to my Galaxy S4? I think I've gotten over paying $$ for a "flagship phone." I'm looking hard at the Idol 3, the ASUS Zenfone 2, and the Oneplus One. The Idol 3 is the bargain among the bargain phones... just a little worried about the camera and general performance compared to the Zenfone 2 and One, which I think are a bit more powerful.

Well, you know your phone. Here is a comparison of the two.
Each will have their plus and minus. They are two entirely different devices. Alcatel is still rather new at this game. Having this in in their lineup, shows they are moving toward more premium devices.
That said, they still need to prove this device worthy of a higher status level.
I've been on the fence on the Idol 3 big time. I had a pre-order in at the $199 price and canceled it. I wish I hadn't done that... I think I may reorder the Idol 3 and give it an honest go. I'm really interested in the Idol 3 for the relatively light weight (sounds like one of the lighter 5.5" phones out there unless I've been misinformed), good battery life, and stereo speakers. If it doesn't live up to my expectations, I can return it and get the OPO. I just wish the OPO had an SD Card slot. I do like to share files that way between my tablet and phone...

Oneplus Two Overrated.....

Yay?... Nay?
I must say yes..
TRASH antutu score. We get that same score RIGHT NOW on the oneplus one.
The Samsung button makes the phone super ugly.
The 810 overheats.
The phone is 10mm thick.
I'm going to have to say no thank you. Huawei, Zuk, Elephone, Umi, & others are creating great phones at prices that make upgrading from a oneplus one to the oneplus 2 useless. Don't fall for the hype guys.

I think its a decent phone, a nice improvement with the move to a more 'premium' build along with what appears to be a better camera, bigger battery, more ram/faster processor. I havent seen any mention of OP2's 810 overheating yet, I think some have mentioned the phone warming up a bit (like most phones) when running a benchmark or gaming, but it doesnt seem to impact performance. The biggest issues I have seen are with the Sony Z3+/Z4 which was overheating badly and had the camera crashing.
I dont worry about benchmarks much as its the real world usage that matters most. Overall I like the look of the design, I like that the finger print scanner is capacitive rather than a 'clicky', one less moving part to worry about.
But I definitely think you're right with the competition, a lot of chinese companies are stepping up with premium builds, top features like big batteries, quick charging, 5.1.1 out of the box, 64bit chips, sd card slots, etc,etc, all for a decent price. Just look at the Zenfone 2, very good value for money.

I don't like the oneplus 2 because of the hype. Essentially its just another Chinese phone like Zopo, Mlais, etc.. As you said, there are hella Chinese & Indian manufacturers who have way better builds and even better specs than the ONEPLUS 2. However, they go unnoticed because they don't have promotional funding from OPPO(Yes OPPO).
The Ulefone Be Touch 2 has a fingerprint scanner & a build that is much better than the ONEPLUS 2 IMHO.

Yea it looks pretty decent although I've seen people on XDA saying the battery life was pretty poor. Another thing with some of these brands is the software support, I'd be concerned how much you would get at the rate these companies churn devices out. At least with the OPO and OP2 (if you like or dislike oxygen) they are committed to providing updates (just dont mention the timing!). But you're totally right Oneplus has built a foundation around the online marketing/hype, which none of the other companies have.
This looks like it could be decent as well if its priced right

That X10 looks dope! Never seen that one before. These phones are coming out fast as hell and are only getting better. Some are even putting out source to their devices (Elephone). That's why I'm going to have to pass on the OP2.

Yea they're really pumping them out this year. For a while they all seemed to be churning out cheap and nasty 4.4 devices but they've really upped their game in terms of the hardware and software. Theres definitely more choice than ever which is only a good thing.
Everyone likes to conform I see....
There are similar threads in the OnePlus Two section. You could join one of those discussions. But this is off topic for this section.

[Q] Where do we go next from the OPO?

I can't seem to desire any other phone. I love the display, I love the size. Speed is good. Battery is very good (running stock CM). Not to mention the price.
Also - I love the hardware buttons (I think software buttons - like in the nexus 6p for example - are a waste of screen real estate).
Anyone upgraded and was happy doing so?
I'm in the same boat as you, my phone is almost 2 years old now but i feel no need to upgrade. Unless you live in a area with faster than 150mbs lte, want a finger print scanner, or a crystal clear screen, i would just keep it until the op4.
Had the One for just over a year now and don't feel the need for an upgrade. When I do end up upgrading this phone, it will not be another OnePlus device. The 2 and X have shown little improvements as successors to the One. There will be better options when the time comes
The OPO really opened me up to the modding capabilities of android. As so many people had grabbed the phone and experimented, there was lots of support. CyanogenMod was a key factor in my decision to get it, and I agree with @kenboyles72 : The 2 and X haven't improved enough for me to want to upgrade.
Also, there's nothing wrong with the OPO, even two years old. It still outperforms most of my mates devices
will be a better unit. BUT not that too soon.
opo will be still outstanding unit at least few more years.
Used to handle HTC models prior to opo
really appreciated opo unit.
appropriate in many ways.
I'm going to wait for the OnePlus 3 to see what it has in store, and if the price is high or it doesn't impress me with it's design and such, I'm going with the Xiaomi Mi5. I mean 4GB of RAM, Snapdragon 820, Fingerprint Scanner, Marshmallow, Good Camera, Awesome design and 64GB of storage for ~700AUD, I'm sold.

Is it bootloader unlocked? Or do you plan on staying on stock for several months hoping for some AOSP support only to switch again? Most of the time it's better to wait and see how popular a device is before buying as the more popular a device is the more likely it is to get a good development scene

Boot loader is locked and honestly I don't care. I don't care what Android skin I use, everyone makes a big fuss about oh I can use this and ew Touchwiz and what not and honestly I don't care. I use Google Messenger for texting, Snapchat, Reddit and Facebook Messenger. I'd be lucky to make an hour of phone calls a week. I install Google Now Launcher on the device and an icon pack, the main interaction I have with MIUI is the status bar and recents apps menu. Like looking at this, you wouldn't even know it was MIUI underneath.

OP3 or whatever ~5" Nexus device(s) come out this year.
Went to a Nexus 5x already, but keep leaning back to the OPO that's still lying around.
After The opo will be useless at 2018 i will looking into new battery techs
i was thinking to Nexus 6p, but I've see now the 820's snapdragon devices.... So I think I will wait for sure the next Nexus, if it will be nice i will buy that... And obviously, have a look to opo4
I'm waiting on the note 6... after it gets a custom recovery.
One plus 3 ( if specifications equal or above opo ).
Maybe mi5 when price drops or Next Nexus, opo is still uncomparable as price/quality ratio
Using this thing until it is too slow to use day to day...did this with my HTC g2 and m7. When they start to lag behind too much and battery dies too often, it was upgrade time. I always make sure lots of memory is free for performance.

thus is cool but i am worried if there is hope of android o for us with this one or any good custom roms or any new holy **** kernels as i donot see dev with opo2 then what with opo3 opo 4 will dim
S7 Edge on Tmobile's buy one get one free deal.
I was just browsing the subforum and happened to come across this. I personally own the X which is essentially a more compact One with an AMOLED screen and expandable storage.
I would say keep the One. It's a great phone and if you compare performance of the X to the one, I'd say that there isn't a reason for you to upgrade to anything at all. If you must, go for the X. It's really a side grade if anything as both devices level one another out on terms of HW, but in all honesty, keep what you have. You guys have the best ROMs, the best revision of the 801, and the best kernels after all. Enjoy what you have.
I've had inconsistent performance with the GPS on my OPO. I'm really tempted to get a 5X now that it's $200 (plus that first month of service, right?). Didn't know how important the GPS would be to me.

My prediction on the OnePlus 3T Dev support

Once people get a chance to see the incredible performance and battery and compare it with the competition in terms of value, this phone will take the lead in 2017 in regards to development. If OnePlus is smart and they comp all the great devs a device for Christmas it will sell them 1000 phones for every 1 they give away!

Hope OnePlus is watching this thread
This is my first OnePlus phone and I'm extremely impressed. I've owned a note 3-5, S6, nexus 6 & 6p, and a few others not even worth mentioning. This is the best phone in my opinion especially dollar for dollar vs. the competition.

Yeah, I'm fully with you there and really hope the thing Oneplus announced to be up their sleeve for the devs is in this line. In hindsight it may have been wiser for Oneplus to get the OP3 devs onto the OP3T-boat before making the official switch.
Tyranus kernel by mdalexca gave me 12 hours SOT without even trying to save battery in any way. 0% drain overnight without turning anything off but the screen.
In 44 minutes charging time I was back up to 80% and that was with the screen on and using it normally. Temperature has NEVER gotten over 92° Fahrenheit in the 4 days I have had it so far.

Bloody hell! I can barely get 6 hours screen on time
OP3T is phone of the year, if OP release the sources and the dev kicks off, it's even way ahead of the Pixel.

Very happy with it, first 3 days.
Only downfall so far is lack of roms
I'm unlocked, rooted, and have all the apps I ever need. Right now I am super happy, of course with custom roms that's a plus but as-is right now I'm pretty set.
This is an interesting phone based upon the specs and the cost. Will this be the next "Nexus" great value phone? The Pixel phones are just too damn expensive in my opinion. I have the Nexus 6p, coming from the Samsung line, and what I've liked about the Nexus, is the developer support for good quality full feature ROMS.
keep in mind, the 3T was quickly out of stock.
might happen that some devs dont have one yet.
but we are still at the beginning, it takes some time as usual.
Yep, I was looking to buy this phone for my wife and I, but it's out of stock. Hoping it'll be available sooner than 4 weeks from now. =/
they promised that it will be dev friendly and they are working to not split a dev scene, that what he said at the presentation of 3T and also at AMA. WHere is this dev friendly thing? Why roms are not compatible even if it is almost same phone?....
I rather wonder what happened to that patience thing.
I'm sad for the decision that oneplus made. I first wanted to order the Oneplus 3 but when the 3T came out I don't buy either of them. I can't choose between the better phone and the better developer supported. Oneplus should send 10 phones to developers so they can sell the phone more. Right Oneplus 3 is more than enough for everyday task but you know...
I'm like the majority of smartphone buyers, just want a great device without rooting or hacking it.
I do consider it icing on the cake to be able to though. I want the freedom to what I want with the device I purchase. Not locked down and forced to accept whatever the manufacturer AND carrier dictate.
But as is, I'm happy stock, unrooted. So far I never rooted my Nexus 6P so I'm not sure if I'll ever care enough to root/flash on my 3T.

Good to see OnePlus starting strong with the OnePlus 3T development. @flar2 and @franciscofranco and hopefully many more devs are getting devices soon.
