Anyone moved from oneplus 5 your thoughts please.

So I tried the oneplus 5 yesterday and low and behold the jello effect drove me totally nuts. I just couldn't live with it and had to take it back. Just wanted to findout from those who have come from or are considering going to oneplus 5, what are your thoughts around the htc u11. The reason I ask is that it seems the oneplus 5 is currently the best in terms of performance one you take away the jello effect. So your thoughts will be appreciated.

I'm actually very curious on this too. As I'm getting bored with my V20 and I'm debating between the Oneplus and U11. If anyone has it on T-Mobile I'm curious on its performance with them too.

Didn't own OP5, but have U11 which is absolutely wonderful device - you got nothing to worry about performance wise, and in some cases will outperform :good:

I came from an OP5 and to me the devices felt like a night and day difference. The U11 has a much more premium build and feel compared to the OP5 and is far superior in terms of camera, water/dust resistance, hi-fi audio, expandable storage and excellent Sense development (Viper, Leedroid, etc.). In my case it felt very much like a "you get what you pay for" situation. If you're willing to shell out a few more bucks the U11 is all around a better device.

I spent only a few days w/ the OP5 before returning it. I had a weird Wifi hotspot issue w/ it that I couldn't keep it. For the short time I had it, I like the build. But I was not impressed w/ the camera nor the battery life. U11 camera is very good, and the squeeze feature is NOT a gimmick to me, it's the quickest way to launch camera.

Thanks for the input, folks. I was briefly thinking about the OP5 just because of the lower price (money is tight at the moment) but I have a 128GB version on pre-order (money's tight, but it's worth $80 for the uptick in RAM and storage). I'm 99% sure I'm making the right choice, but it's good to get confirmation.

Best phone that I have ever had. Squeeze feature is a game changer (truly...). Smooth, stutter-free scrolling everywhere you look.

You won't regret it. I've had mine since the 8th of June and I can say without a doubt it's the best device I've ever had the pleasure of owning and I've owned plenty (just look at my signature :laugh. The only thing that has me irked about it is HTC pulled S-OFF. It reverts to S-ON when it reboots which is going to be problematic when it comes to getting it out to end users and it also means that once you unlock the bootloader, you cannot restore it to factory "locked" - you will have to deal with the relocked tag and the voided warranty.

I actually tried 2 oneplus 5 phones and they tried to convince me that the jello effect wasn't there, and quite frankly for me that was it. They literally tried to convince me that something which was clearly a hardware issue was a feature!. I opened a thread on the oneplus net about it and it vanished because they can't stand the truth. The only thing the phone had was speed , but obviously they had to cut corners to enable that. I think when they do realise that people want quality not just 8gig of ram then I will go back to them.

I've got a Oneplus5 and a U11. Frankly, i used the Oneplus5 for about 2 weeks and then 4.5.5 came out and screwed Android Auto in the wife's car. It works in mine but not in hers. She was going to use the Oneplus5 to ease back into Android after 4 years of iOS and now the Oneplus5 sits powered off until I get the time to figure out why AA doesn't work in her car but does in mine. It's utterly frustrating.
As far as the U11 .. it works flawlessly with anything I throw at it. It's fast, gets great compliments on it's appearance and I have absolutely nothing bad to say about it at all. Almost wish I'd bought 2 so the wife could use one. hmm. Live and learn I guess.

I have U11 on the way, but after using op3t I'll surely miss the alert slider.
But op5 has jello and no OIS and that just doesn't cut it.

I use Audio Profiles for this and have for quite a few of my Android phones. It works well and has quite a few options. It works well on the U11. It's not a hardware slider but we can't have everything.

OnePlus 5 now or wait for 5T? / 64gb vs 128gb?

I just recently got the money I've been waiting for to get a new phone. (my moto G4 is going down the toilet when I get one, Thanks Lenovo...) I was wondering If you guys think I should get the One plus 5 or wait for the 5t in Q4? here's my preferences.
battery life: 1
performance: 2
display: 3
design: 4
storage: 5
camera: 6
with 1 being the most important.
I've heard the one plus 5T will most likely have the same processor and battery life so if that's true maybe there's my answer but wondering what you guys thought.
Also I don't really care about storage all to much but is the 8gb ram worth it for 60 bucks? thanks for any input.
Austin

Officially there is no chip better than the 835 at the moment. So a 5T would flop kind of hard. For such a small company they cant afford to do that. Unless they really pump up other features by an insane margin dont expect a new flagship so quickly. But i have proposed the idea that even tho the 3t was a great device, for lack of a better term OnePlus cant be trusted to not usurp their phones for fear of another "T" phone. A 5T could happen but who knows if they will want to one up themselves. The 3t was a massive hit though so who knows? They just might.

I knew right from the start there will be no t variant this time. Oneplus5 is still the best phone after the comming iphone.

For battery and performance I can vouche, although some users like me encounter some software related idle WiFi drain that will hopefully be fixed in OOS 4.6. I'm loving the display too, although it's "only" 1080p, for me it's fully sufficient plus it's lighter on the battery. For the design and camera I don't care much. In terms of storage I think 64GB is sufficient, and 6GB RAM is just perfect. I went for this model. Some users need loads of storage though for movies, songs etc so 128GB makes sense, too.

lol there is no sure thing of a 5T coming. Just because they made a 3T doesn't mean they will make a 5T and to assume that will just make you wait for something that likely won't come. Missing out on the best phone out there right now.

Waiting for the next best thing means you end up waiting forever but at some point you need to bite thre bullet and get something...
Guaranteed that 2 days later a bigger, better item will be available though.
Personally the 128gb was the one I got. Still not enough storage, One+ REALLY need to put in external storage support, and that should hopefully futureproof it a bit.
The only thing that could make the 5T better would be 8gb, 128gb with external storage. Only reason I might upgrade, anything else would be a plus but it would have to be at the same price point or less (like that would happen).

Don't pay more for more RAM.
OnePlus might make a 5T but the current model is hard to beat. If they do make a 5T it won't be much different, if they don't do a 5T then you could have more quality time with your beloved G4 until the OnePlus 6.

Evan Blass has leaked that the new Pixel phones will come sometimes in October and will have the Snapdragon 836. Yes, 836, not 835.
So if OnePlus want to release a 5T, it will have the 836 which is a pretty small upgrade. I mean, it will probably have slightly higher clock speeds and some other minor improvements. With such little changes, I don't think it would be worth for them to release another device.
Hardware-wise, the OnePlus 5 is a beast. Most people just had higher expectations regarding the features. The only thing OnePlus can do to improve the 5 is to add water resistance, perhaps improve the camera, a slightly bigger battery and maybe higher screen resolution. Those are the major gripes people had with this phone.
Unless they improve those areas, a 5T will be a flop.
As to the OP's question - You can get the 5 now and sell it if a 5T does eventually pop up. The 5 shouldn't lose much value in a few months.
A friend even made a profit while selling his 3T.

In the of world of technology one thing I've learned is if you wait then you always wait coz there will be something new around the corner every month ? even if op5t comes it will be just like from 3 to 3t just barely any changes

Profit selling his 3t is because of the jelly screen hype. I saw it in the Netherlands also. Sold my 3t for 350€ after I received the 5 with early bird offer. After jelly the price of second hand 3t's went up sky high.

Would've loved for OnePlus to had created a 5'7 inch screen for us guys that is coming from Galaxy Notes and who have large hands.

Thanks for all the responses, I went ahead and pulled the trigger on the 128gb slate grey. I figure I'll have the phone for at least 2 years and who knows maybe I'll need the extra space eventually, and the extra ram will be nice as well.

The space is nice but I honestly think all that ram is a gimmick. Phones don't need 8 gigs of ram--that's serious overkill. The OnePlus Camera App is disappointing. A lot of people are using the Google Camera app ported from the Pixel instead of the stock one from OnePlus. I haven't noticed any jelly effect on mine and the phone seems pretty solid so far. You'll probably be happy with your purchase.

8GB RAM helps with multitasking. Watch any OnePlus 5 vs XYZ videos on YouTube and you'll see it pretty much wiped the floor with the competition in terms of multitasking.
So yeah, while it's not necessary, it still is nice not having to refresh an app you opened 10 apps ago.
8GB also makes it a bit futureproof. Next year we'll see more devices with 8GB probably. Apps will use more and more RAM too, so 8GB will come in handy.

According to this website, the OnePlus 5T will be released late 2017 http://androidmarvel.com/2017/08/27/1580/oneplus-5t-specs-rumors/
So it's best to wait for the 5T and make do for now, you wouldn't want to spend your money on a phone that will get an "enhanced" version few months later. That's just my opinion!

IP68 certification and the Snapdragon 836 are barely a big improvement. The Chipset upgrade itself won't be anything spectacular, maybe just slightly increased clock speeds.

Worth Picking Up OnePlus 5 Now a Days or Should I Be Looking at Something Newer

Title says it all. I'm looking to pick up a new phone as my current HTC M9 is finally showing its age.
This is what I'm looking for in a phone:
I am BIG on de-bloating and ad blocking so at minimum root is REQUIRED.
Not required but might as well be, 3.5mm jack
6" screen or smaller, would prefer to stay below 5.6"
must support US AT&T bands
some what new specs
would like to have a LED display
not a requirement but defiantly looked at is battery life/size
I use to be VERY big into installing custom ROMS and Kernels. I've slowly backed off a bit but still love to do it from time to time. My HTC is just running a de-bloated version of the stock developer ROM. My Shield Table on the other hand is running lineage OS as the stock ROM is garbage. Having custom ROM options for this reason makes me feel secure in my purchase which is another reason I'm looking at a OnePlus in general.
From the digging I've done there really isn't much that meets my requirements. The OnePlus 5 seems to be my best option that I can find. The one plus 6 goes outside of my size limits. From the reading I've done it seems like the spec upgrades to the 6 vs the 5 just aren't worth the size changes.
I've also looked at the Asus ZenFone 4 Pro and ZTE nubia Red Magic Mars. The Asus modding community is basically dead other wise it seems to be a great fit. As for the ZTE it just barley meets my size limitations and is a bit of a gamble being that I have no experience with this manufacture before. Other then that my only gripe with the device itself is the LCD display but I currently have a LCD on my HTC so its not to big a deal.
So would you recommend that I pickup a OnePlus 5 or should I be looking at something newer due to the 5 approaching 2 years old now?
If this changes anything I would be picking up the phone from Amazon due to OnePlus only selling their most recent device on their website. I.E. - No warranty / international version https://www.amazon.com/OnePlus-A500...0955011&rnid=2470954011&rps=1&s=mobile&sr=1-2

I would suggest looking for a Oneplus 6 that has proper camera implementation and other little issues resolved. Or a Google Pixel 2XL if you want something that will last you longer in terms of updates ( eBay is having many auctions lately). In general, I would not recommend buying a Oneplus 5.

Here is my opinion about your question.
I recently purchased a op5 about 10 days back. I could have picked up the 6T but until the onscreen fingerprint is a few generation old I dont want to go that way. 6 was out of question due to the notch. 5t has a great screen and my friend is using it but I NEED my fingerprint on the front.(It is my use case could be different for u)
+ the metal body and 3.5 mm jack.
Also, the camera is good enough for daytime shots and the 835 with 6GB is very zippy and I am sure it will remain so for a couple of years. And it does have a great dev scene so later when my device is a year or so old i can just unlock the bootloader and go custom. I love custom rom and used to do that the 1st thing once i got my phone but nowadays i just dont have the time.
Overall i love the phone and feels very premium. I cant give my feedback about the other models u have listed above but personally for me OP5 checks all the boxes.

Go for 5 since it meets almost all on your checklist and besides, there's not much difference from the OP5 to 6/6T in terms of performance. Been using my OP5(6/64(Latest Beta)) for more than a year now but I hadn't have any hiccups or slow performance issues in all the applications. Plus, up till now; The Rom / Kernel development for OP5 is still alive and kicking.
Only issue that I had with my OP5 is the "Device temperature too low" which is already a hardware issue(Motherboard) as per the local tech and honestly speaking, I believe it was my fault as well. Maximing the usage of my OP5 and kept on using it even if it's charging then while I'm sleeping, accidentally covered the phone with my pillow(while AFK on Ragnarok Mobile) thus causing the phone to heat up to the maximum temp(Too hot to even hold the phone with it's case on). As of writing, I'm still waiting for my phone to be fixed by the tech.

Thanks everyone for the input!!
With the research I did today I ended up going with the Galaxy S9 (EXYNOS). Covers all my bullets, its a newer device then the OnePlus 5 with very close to the latest specs and was able to find the 128GB for $560. With it being the EXYNOS processor I should have no issues rooting and debloating it. And if I cant stand the stock rom it looks like they have good lineage OS development for it so I can just jump to that.

I just bought me a Oneplus 5 to replace my old Nexus 6. I bought the 8/128 variant in great shape for $260. I had the seller leave the bootloader unlocked for me so that I can easily root and flash ROMs when I'm ready. I haven't read into how any of that works on the OP5 or what I would need to do. I'd presume that I'd probably just boot into TWRP and flash magisk but I haven't checked any of that out.
So far, I absolutely love the phone. I knew my Nexus 6 was getting slow and was going to literally blow up at some inopportune time but I guess that I didn't realize how awful it was til buying the OP5. I haven't tried anything too taxing on it yet but this has been so smooth that it's hard to imagine anything else.

OP5 still a beast and will run all playstore apps for years to come. (6/8gb ram is insane for 99% of users)
-Also, less pixel (16:9 1080p) makes it faster and gives better battery performance.
-I love the out-of-display buttons, imo is the android signature.
- sound chip is awesome, big sell point for me on my ath-m50s.
I choose this phone especially to reduce my overcompensation (no, money isn't the problem). micro-technology is just killing the planet, so not changing my phone every year (hello apple fan boi) was a huge sell point for me.
Actually ram killed my previous phone, even with swap partition it was too slow ( HTC Desire Z from 2010). So I decided to get the best phone ram wise, xda support wise and chipset wise.
The only issue I have, is Oneplus refuse to sell batteries, this is just stupid, I mean yeah I get they want you to change phone model, or send them back your op for repairs, but still, how many people want to change the battery??? not much! so I dont get why they are so picky on that !
wife's OP3 still a very fast phone even in 2019, snapdragon 820, 6gb ram, but battery doesnt hold the charge. ebay batteries are ****, tired once, and got 1900 mha, phone shutdown @ 20% charge.
I love the op5, and if I dont loose/break it, I should be good for an other 4 years I believe ! :good:

I came from a Pixel XL, the OP5 looked great because of 8GB of RAM (which seems impressive for a phone), a better SoC, and a slightly lower resolution (better 3D performance). Along with all those things being true in-person, the speaker is also a bit better. It also has good LineageOS support.
My main reason for switching was for ease-of changing the battery if I needed to; the Pixel XL needed some adhesive heating and careful lifting of the screen; I wanted no part of that. The OP5 just pries open on clips which I find very nice, and the battery access is from the back.
I got a slightly damaged one (minor drop damage; insides and screen looks ok) for $200; the 8GB/128GB model.

Can't decide whether to get 6T or 7T

Hi guys,
Needless to say, there is a huge difference in the price between the 2 (185 USD where I'm at). I'd like your opinion whether the difference is worth it. What I'm worried about 6T is the fingerprint performance. Is it reliable? For 7T, I like the 90hz screen and better(?) fingerprint performance.
I'm not really critical on the camera. And I think 6t's specs are good enough for my use.
Let me know what you guys think. Thanks!

Go for a 7T,your getting way more,I have the 6T and it's fine, fingerprint is not that reliable but works most of the time but then again do you really need it with face unlock,
Cameras are ok on the 6T but Oneplus have really stepped up with the 7T now,
I would definitely go for a 7T if you can afford it

7T
There is no sense of getting the 6T.
7T has better Display, better storage speed, better camera, better software support because it is newer.
So basically the 7T is better because it is more recent. Also Android 10 is kinda not that stable on the 6T right now.

I say 7T. It's overall better. I have not had any issues on my 6T with Android 10. I suppose I'm just lucky and should be grateful. But the 7T is newer and has better support.

I just bought a 7 pro and have a 6T already, so my situation is different. Yes, get the 7T...but really, it isn't that much better/faster besides the 90hz screen. Honestly, the speed test of a Galaxy S10+ Snapdragon v a OP7T, the Samsung is faster mostly in real life use. That is a 855+ vs a 855 10 month old processor nearly. And the 7T still can't match the S10+ for many things except bootloader unlocking/rooting. Unless you get the Exynos...but they is likely going away as well and moving to Snapdragon.
I like the curved screen/larger size and overall build/feel of the 7 Pro. The 7T is just a 6T nearly identical. Just has a 90hz screen and some improvements. Not much of an upgrade IMO. But over the 6T if buying one...sure, get the 7T. But it will be useless in about 4-6 months because they are going to release an OP8...and let's hope it isn't more of the same...because I don't get their future plans. Unless they are moving to a curved screen, the fast 90hz scrolling (great innovation, everybody is going to use this in the future)...and average camera and etc..not sure...they are turning into HTC if they don't really step up their game with the OP8. They need 6.7" screen, better cameras no doubt..and a slight bump in price most would be fine with along with at least an 865 or better processor...plus 5G to stay relevant IMO.
For the money, yes, don't buy a 6T I guess...but honestly, I just don't see it being worth an upgrade over a 6T personally. And I don't think the 7T is really much of a relevant phone for much longer when Samsung releases and set the bar way higher for Android in two months.
Come March, and my current credits from Verizon being done...probably going to jump ship and maybe move to new S11, it is going to crush everything out there for Android...find some deals on that and get away from crappy Verizon service.
Good luck.

99% of users, would be ok with the 6T. Unless you are into benchmarks or cutting edge games, the 6T is a better bang for the buck.
I've had mine a year, see no reason to ditch it for a new one.

If you want the better phone go for the 7t but if you want a great phone for cheap, buy a like new Amazon refurbished 6t for under $300. I wouldn't buy a new 6t at this point in the game but I got my 6t for $285 from Amazon and I'm super happy.
Sent from my OnePlus6T using XDA Labs

I have the 6T and the 7 Pro, and theorecally the 7T has the same fingerprint sensor as the 7 Pro, I would choose the 7T just for the fingerprint sensor, the 6T sensor is garbage.

Thanks for the input guys. Definitely helped! I guess I would be going for the 7T when I get the budget for it. Hopefully they run a year end sale!

I've been discussing about buying a pre-owned 6T for a while. Since my budget is around $300 and can get one, I almost decided to buy. But only now I read this thread. This is the second time I'm reading the comments that the camera quality of 6T is not good. Are you all sure that? Even with GCam?
My main priority of buying a phone is if it has a strong development support and the 6T has a lot. But I haven't ever read or heard about the camera quality issue that much. My other option is to go for K20 Pro (it too has best development support) but I don't know how long it'll last. Also how do you compare the camera quality of 6T and K20 Pro?

Is the OnePlus 8 Pro worth getting in 2021?

Hi everyone,
I've recently was given £500 Amazon giftcard and I was thinking if I should upgrade from my OP6T or not. I've been looking on what I should get like a treat for myself and for phones it seems like the 8 pro is a good deal. I could literally get a OP8 Pro (used like new with original packaging) from Amazon warehouse. I'm not sure how's the custom ROM situation for the 8 Pro, but I do know that the OP9 Pro is riddled with heating and battery life issues (def not worth the price). I could literally get the 8 pro for free with a case + tpu screen protector and some cash left. Basically a free OP8 Pro?!
I've been planning to buy it since Tuesday, but held off as I just couldn't justify the purchase. I could just buy it and return it, but I just don't need it and will probs return it anyways. My OP6T is solid, replaced the battery last year, getting at least 4hrs 20mins of SoT and running CrDroid ROM which still supports my old OP3?! I got October SP as well on A11. The 8 pro is supported as well! Is this upgrade worth it and needed?
From current leaks the OP10 Pro seems to be another boring punch hole device as OEMs aren't ready to release flagships with UDC and even the UDC tech won't be as good as of next year if it even came out next year. A device with UDC that's usable will probs be out like 2023 or 2024 which I'm not waiting that long for. Itching for new tech I guess and support will probs be dropped for my OP6T by then.
The OP8 Pro is a good device with some weird display issues reported by users online. Black crush, display getting green, UIelements staying on the display. Probs not as bad as the OP9 Pro especially when I'm getting it for free lol. I'm just stuck and any help will be great.

Depend on how much you will buy it.
My unit manufactured since mid 2020.
It has Blackcrush , Banding , minimal green tint.
But those screen issues are not major for me.
Let's wait the initial review of Snapdragon next Flagship SoC 898
expect debut with Xiaomi 12 later this year.
Those might give you an idea how OP10 Pro SoC will perform.
I think 9 RT improve heat management in hardware for 888 not sure,
If OP10Pro will improve that further more.

Those might give you an idea how OP10 Pro SoC will perform.
I think 9 RT improve heat management in hardware for 888 not sure,
If OP10Pro will improve that further more.

I already said how much it is. "I could literally get the 8 pro for free with a case + tpu screen protector and some cash left. Basically a free OP8 Pro?!" Tbh I don't really care about SoCs tbh they are just like cameras for phones, you'll expect to get a new + improved one when a brand new phone comes out each year. The SD 845 is fine for me. It's just the missing features my 6T doesn't have and maybe battery life. How's the battery life for the OP8 Pro now? Are u still on OOS or are u running a custom ROM? @ps000000

I often switch ROMs, as flashaholic person test for few hours.
But mostly back to stock because my workplace app only run well on stock.
Battery life look okay after 1.5 years.
Just my 1 person experience, you may consider read another site like oneplus forum on reddit , local oneplus facebook group etc.
(English is not my 1st language I might not good explain or good reading well.)

Great phone
Superb development here on XDA
Great community too which always helps
Price should be competitive now too
Performance is spot on, it'll run Wii games to give you an idea of the strength of the 865
Battery is great
Camera has served me well, plus if you want the infrared see through things camera, the 8 pro is the only place you'll get it (and still can on OOS)
That being said.. If it were me I'd see what the new Pixel has to offer (Tizen chip) it's their first phone with this chip, will it be any good? Is it Google's answer to apples M1?
I'd wait and see, if it is then get that, if not then OnePlus 10 Pro (if it will even be called that)
