Is the OP2 worth getting?

i have a iphone. i switched to the dark side. but im not really happy the price i have to pay for outdated features. i was wondering if the oneplus 2 overheats over normal use and is it worth getting?

There is a thread like that in general section. Check it out.

- it tooks 4months for samsung to get MM to his flagship
- battery life is lame
- worst ram menagment phone ever ,, cant handle more than 3/4 tasks
- for my opinion selfie cam is so fake with that "beauty" filter
- reception in LTE / 4g was so bad (max 3h sot with mobile data)
- they didnt post kernel source so it lacks in developing
- BLOATWARE all around ... more than 300 apps+ services
- a lot useless stuff, flip to mute , proximity to ear call , IM NORMAL PERSON I CAN DO IT BY MYSLEF, im not handicapped
- 2560 x 1440 was so bad move for a 5.1 inch display . in 1080p more battery life , less pixel to show , more cpu power , more gpu power etc
thigs ive liked :
_ the build was so good
- it was amazing fast phone (even with touchwiz , imagine what can he do in cm13 , but they never gona have stable cm13)
- fast charging , 1h22min 100%

If you are coming from an iPhone every Android is worth buying. And OnePlus Two is very cool if you ask me..

If I'm not looking to tweak the phone, just want something to get away from iOS, is this still a solid choice? I see lots of issues, but it's hard to discern what is causing what.

No, my advance go with Nexus. I miss Nexus

OnePlus 2 is perfect from my point of you. But not the software. The hardware of the device is beast. Software by OnePlus is no match to if. If you want to buy OnePlus Two you should tweak to get most out the phone. So it's in your hands. Perfect hardware, OK stock software. Of course the Device heats up a bit. If tweaked its the best phone in its range. If you don't want to tweak, you can use stock but wait till marshmallow.

Oneplus 2 and nexus 6p are both good phones for their price range. If you have a bigger budget, i would get a 6p because its better in terms of software updates (they have marshmallow already). For me i haven't experienced many bugs with oneplus 2, others in the forum have had minor bugs. Battery life is not bad, i get around 6-7 hr screen on time with YouTube only with a bit of internet.

I really like the 6P and OP2, but both seem to have some issues. Some bigger than others. And I know no phone is perfect. I can spend up to what a 64gb 6P would cost me, but saving money is never a bad thing. My 6s Plus has no issues, but the OS is so stale and I'm going nuts without the simplest of customization.

Overpriced and design is horrible. Bezels killed the phone. Got the op5. Performance on par. Do t care about camera. As far as looks and feels. Op5 hands down better. Pixel was $1000 plus for.me on launch. Op5 $500 and change and couldn't be happier.

I'm still on the fence whether to stick with Pixel XL or OP5. Camera is a big deal for me. I have kids and take lots of pictures.

OIS wont help you with with moving targets, but improved EIS from patch to patch might.

I'm satisfied. Love it

I'm in love with this phone. I have the 8Gb version and it's so damn snappy. I'm new to oxygen os, but love all the features available, even without root (although I'm rooted). My favorite thing about the phone is how easy it was to root and of course the awesome battery life. First phone ever that I've not had to charge every day.

Very nice

I'm quite satisfied. I keep trying to find the stuff that seems to drive a lot of you crazy but I can't replicate it with my own device. Came from a OnePlus 3 which I almost regretted handing down as I really came to like it.
If I can get the hang of this camera pro mode thing I think I'll be satisfied for the rest of the year.

Then by all means stick with the Pixel XL. I have the OP3T and love its camera for shooting everything EXCEPT moving objetcs. Seems like the OP5 is no different. Uses shutter speed of 1/17 for most moving subjetcs.

It's awesome

If you slap the same software on them (say LineageOS) as to eliminate any results manipulation due to software optimization, the OnePlus 5 should be faster and smoother due to the better specs.
All in all, I believe it's a great phone. But I don't have it yet, so I'm speaking just from research.
If you want the latest specs at a good price and great development support, the OnePlus 5 may be the best choice.
Don't care about OIS or EIS, nor about waterproofing (OnePlus did say it is somewhat water proof) since I'm not planning on bathing with the phone.
It all comes down what you're looking in a phone.

Coming from a Nexus 6, it's definitely an upgrade. Overall very satisfied.
The only things I'm disappointed about are the lack of wireless charging and the speaker placement. I've been spoiled by the N6's dual front speakers. Now I have to use headphones while playing rhythm games because otherwise my hand keeps blocking the speaker.

Which bugs?

Buy OnePlus 3T or 6T for same price?

Okay, this may sound crazy to some, but I absolutely LOVE the dedicated fingerprint-reader and the non-screen back/menu-buttons on the 3T, so I'm considering it over the 6t for those reasons.
I'm in Thailand now where I can get the 6T for THB 15 000 which is almost exactly the same price I can order a new OnePlus 3T with shipping to Sweden on Amazon.
Also, I really don't like the extra tap/lift/whatever I need to do to wake the screen on the 6T before activating its fingerprint sensor. And I obviously don't like its lacking hardware back/menu-buttons.
So, what is your input? Can you help me decide one way or the other?

I would get neither of them at this point if those are you complaints. The 3T is probably fine but you'd be getting a 2016 device in 2019 in an industry where innovation is happening basically every month. Might want to look at another brand in your situation.

As much as I would prefer a phone with a dedicated fingerprint sensor and a headphone jack, I wouldn't buy a 3T at this point for that much money. That's way too much. Your going to get a phone that has sat around for a long time, so even though the battery hasn't been used, it's still aged. Support will still start to slowly die off. OP will be releasing the last software updates soon for it. I would at least search for something slightly newer like a 5T etc, doesn't have your non-screen buttons, but much newer phone with the benefits of a newer phone.
Really if it's going to be the same price you might as well get the latest model.

Valid point there. What current phone is similar to the 3t when it comes to the buttons I love at the bottom of the 3t?
(By the way I just lost my OnePlus 3t, that's why I have to buy a new phone)

6T.
You will get used with software back, home.. I use op3, them all of them except 3T, up to 6T.

OnePlus 5 is going to be the most recent op device that's the most similar to the three 3/T. And definitely what you should get if you don't like on screen nav buttons because every opportunity device from the 5T and up all use software keys.

If you're into mobile photography you can go for 3T for its GCam support, which is 10 notches better than the GCam support of 6T. Near to stock feel in terms of smoothness and speed.

i had 3t, and was scared about fingerprint, but with facial recognizer and double tap to wake i use fingerprint not so often. Take 6t bro, u are crazy to take a 3t XD

I wouldn't get a 3T if you can get a 6T for the same price. I know you prefer the capacitive buttons but I think you'll get used to software buttons and enjoy your smartphone experience much more with the 6T!

How about the Samsung fold? It doesn't have anything you are looking for but the screen folds.

Also part of your initial post is incorrect information, on the 60 if you have lift to wake turned on all you have to do is move the phone and the fingerprint icon pops up so there is no need to push buttons or tap or swipe anything in order to activate the fingerprint reader

With the proximity sensor and pocket mode. As long as the sensor is blocked when you move, the screen won't turn on and the scanner won't pop-up.
This works even with the phone out of your pocket but close to your leg while you walk, I've done it a few times already.

worth it?

OK considering getting a op6t later this week.
Overall is it good?
Currently I've a HTC u11 weird choice I know but the screen is mint.
With the lower res on the oneplus would you buy again after owning one?

Okay, so, after going through many brands and various experiences these are my 2 cents on the 6T: :fingers-crossed:
Camera is very good, but there are better options if you're purely focusing on photography
The performance is absolutely magnificent. Dominates the charts.
The UI experience is one of the best. OxygenOS not only instigates a fully seamless and stock experience, it offers a wide range of personalization options and really helps the user experience.
It is a stable OS, updated consistently and unlikely to experience unprecedented hard resets and bootloops.
Connectivity is brilliant, apart from the Bluetooth. I have been having some trouble with the automatic connection to eg wireless headsets and the instance of remaining connected or switching between audio sources, also had some issues with connecting to other devices.
Screen is great, yet I feel they could've done better with the resolution, than just 1080p.
Other features like the notch and the fingerprint sensor are huge pluses and good conversation starters, as they not only make the device an actual beauty but are recent innovations.
The build quality is great. Sturdy, durable, slick.
Lack of a headphone jack is a bit asinine, but does not in anyway overweight the advantages. Would still like to see a jack on the upcoming 7.
Great price. Value for money.
The lack of a stereo speaker and poor placement not only makes it easier for one to cover it up accidentally but also makes for an okay audio experience, which is unsatisfactory by my standards.

I love my 6T, but would sell it in a minute and buy a 7, if the 7 brings back a notification LED.

I got the OP6T McLaren edition in January and it has been a fun device. I agree with everything others said above.
For lack of notification LED light, there are a few apps you can use that work very well. And for the lack of stereo speakers, there is a magisk module that turns the earpiece into a second speaker which works well. :good:

I bought one because it seemed like the best value locally. My wife bought at the same time one of those $1400 apple doo hicky things after playing with my phone for 37 minutes she made me return her fancy designed in California apple and buy her a one plus 6t.

Well I got it. Brilliant phone

Lol anything that has been removed during the span of 6 and 6T will not ever return. Led is going away in almost every smartphone coming out this year even Samsung removed it in the s10 and it's all to make more screen and OnePlus will follow that trend just like with the notch...... And they're definitely not bringing back headphone jack.... Both 7 and 7 pro are going to be using an optical in display demerit similar to the one used in the 6T... Maybe the pro will have something better since it's the pro though (ultrasonic?) Maybe but I don't think so.....

Exactly. Everyone says to root it an get more, but in reality, unless you use a lot of magsik moduels then there is no reason to. Only thing g I did was turn my TMobile variant into an international one.

I only use root to block ads but there are solutions for that these days. Root is also use full to get rid of gapps.

I switched mine to international. Rooted with magisk to block ads, enable dual speaker, also used swift installer to completely black out everything so I conserve battery. Viper 4 android. Installed TWRP as well. I agree though I was very impressed with everything stock. I've always had Samsung phones and this was everything I'd try to get my Samsung to be.

Same here

Thinking of coming to the OnePlus family. Need some thoughts.

Ok so ive always been a Nexus/Pixel guy, Had the Galaxy Nexus Nexus 5 Nexus 6P and Pixel 2 XL (current phone)
Mainly for fast updates
Always get new "Google" features first
Easy Root / Substratum
Buuuuuuut the Pixel 3, 3a Especially the 4, 4A were all a huge MEH and the 5 looks to be the biggest MEH ever.
So ive been looking at the OnePlus 8 Pro looking through the forums it reminds me of the Nexus days with ROMS and Kernals MODs etc.
A few questions though before i pull the trigger (still trying to come to grips with a $900 price tag for a OnePlus)
Ill probably try to use the phone without rooting but most likely end up rooting.
1. Netflix L1/L3 Widevine. Can someone give me a definitive answer as to if we can get HD with unlocked bootloaders. I am getting conflicting info going though the forum. Some posts say NO. Some say they got it working through certain root methods.. Some say they have it working running certain custom roms or custom kernals or Magisk moduals such as XXX No Limits. And them some say that after a certain OP official update that it now works.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-8-pro/help/bootloader-widevine-l1-t4092027
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-8-pro/help/custom-rom-allow-hd-netflix-rooted-t4092093
2. Notification Light
All my Nexi/Pixels had a notification light and i used Light Manager to make them flash different colors and speeds depending on the app etc.
I know that the OP8 and most phones now a days dont have the light. But i see things like AODNotify do these apps work well? I dont really like AOD and always had it turned off on the pixel.
Any info is appreciated.

I sold my pixel 4xl for the OnePlus 8 Pro. Honestly, I regret it.
Even with gcam the camera doesn't come close. 8 should have waited for the pixel 5 ? I feel like the pixel phones are very simplistic, bit you get a very solid experience with them. I can't stand the curved edges of the op8pro and the camera is worse that what I had before, which kills me. If someone makes a pixel experience ROM I'll be happy but even then I won't be able to install my banks app due to root. The grass isn't always greener, friend.

Yeah the P4XL to me was a step backward. I NEED a finger print reader. Faceunlock is dumb. SOLI or w/e it was called was a huge let down. And it was really the only "new" feature of the phone.
I would normally get a Pixel 5 but sorry a Snapdragon 765G really? And it will still cost probably $800+

I ditched the 3XL for the 8Pro before the payoff date and I don't have regrets. Yeah, the camera was nice but I had other reasons.
I see PE has built a ROM for the Nord but not the 8/8Pro, maybe one is coming......

I had exactly the same thoughts like you, but I came from the Pixel 1.
I didn't regret it one second going to Oneplus 8 Pro!
The updates are quick and much more easy to flash then I used to. Indeed, the phone is larger, but I knew that when I bought it.
First I thought root wasn't necessary but I ended up rooting and, again, it's much easier to do then with the Pixel.
I don't use netflix L1/L3 widevine but there's a thread about it somewhere on this forum
Notification light: there are moreapps but I use aodNotify and it works like a charm. (I have 3% battery consumption over the night, several colors eso) But: that's my experience.
Conclusion: for me it was and still is a go.
I hope it helps you with your decision.

Have already given my thoughts about moving to OnePlus from any other phone from the past or even currently available.
In short, it's a resounding yes.

Nice im sooooooo close to pulling the trigger.
It looks like according to what i can find. That as of update 10.5.10 (i think it was) that with a unlocked bootloader and proper Magisk Hide that you can get L1. And that was my biggest concern.
Sure the camera isnt as good but i dont think i use it enough (or enough where i would really look at the quality of a pic) to worry THAT much. I mainly use it to send a pic via MMS or RCS when i see something interesting at the store and send it to a friend or family member lol.
And i think a Snapdragon 865 and a larger 120hz 1440p display and super fast storage/RAM will suit me better then not those things but a good camera (Pixel 5)

This badboy OnePlus 8 Pro is the sweetest ride... especially on XDA!

I have pulled the trigger and am looking forward to it.
I bought the IN2020 version and was wondering if I'll be missing anything that the global IN2023 has?
Any thoughts?

Nice im sooooooo close to pulling the trigger.
It looks like according to what i can find. That as of update 10.5.10 (i think it was) that with a unlocked bootloader and proper Magisk Hide that you can get L1. And that was my biggest concern.
Sure the camera isnt as good but i dont think i use it enough (or enough where i would really look at the quality of a pic) to worry THAT much. I mainly use it to send a pic via MMS or RCS when i see something interesting at the store and send it to a friend or family member lol.
And i think a Snapdragon 865 and a larger 120hz 1440p display and super fast storage/RAM will suit me better then not those things but a good camera (Pixel 5)

You should be concerned about this if you need bank apps etc .

Root is always on the chopping block. The only thing i really use root for on my Pixel 2 XL anymore is to use Substratum

The op8T/Tpro is so close to coming out is it not worth waiting for that?
