It sees a lot of people are hooked on "updates" and just have to press on the Update button to have the latest software, and yet most times, updates brought some phone to their knees, making them unusable or less drastic drawbacks.

Ha, the megapixel race. More is better, right....wrong it's the same as everything else including 4k tv etc etc. All good marketing aimed at people who must have the latest tech. I once heard a guy in Currys telling someone they must buy a 4k tv to ensure better picture viewing. He was coming out with all sorts or garbage. I try not to shop in there if I can help it and when I do I find myself saying no I don't want extended warranty, I don't want batteries and leads or a case. I think the best one once had to be when I was buying a bluray player and I had this guy telling me why I should buy one of their £40.00 leads. I just said to him do you watch watchdog and he said no. I said you should there was an interesting article on hdmi leads. I did a test for myself on the tv's about a year in go in Currys with some 4k tv's of LG, Samsung that were next to a 1080 Sony. Guess which had the best picture on television viewing. It was actually the cheapest tv of them all and yes, it was the Sony. Don't get me wrong they were all exceptional playing the cleverly designed manufacturer's video playing via usb stick but on normal tv in both SD and HD the Sony stood out. Samsung was terrible and that's the one I had gone into buy. New technology better eh, well sometimes perhaps not and even on my 1080 tv some programmes do not upscale too well and will be the same if not worse on a 4k tv.

Getting back on track the amount of megapixels a camera has got to a point is irrelevant. It's how the image is processed and the quality of the lens that matters. I have seen some pics my brother in law took on an old Fuji digital camera with a 3.1mp lens. Now that's rubbish by today's standards isn't it. He could blow pictures up to about A3 size and the quality was excellent because the camera had a good lens and image processing. Maybe more pixels means less tech for processing. I don't know but what I do know is I have taken some excellent shots with a Galaxy S4 and my old Panasonic TZ10. Both very much dated now by today's standards but where is it going to end. Both took good enough shots to display on a monitor as wallpaper. Technology has to peak somewhere and if images get to a point where the naked eye can not see the improvement then what is the point. Two years ago the S6 was the best phone you could buy, blah blah blah. Stupid prices and I looked at the G4. Camera shots just as good if not better in my opinion so I bought it. The photos it takes are exceptional and if something takes a better photo I doubt if I am going to see it. We had this quite a while ago with processor speeds on pc's. It peaked and then we had dual core and then quad core etc now but will they get any faster. For the time being I think we should leave things were they are. I am happy with my G4. It calls people, makes texts and takes great photos and it cost me £320.00. Manufacturers should keep the spec the same or with small improvements, give us cheaper prices, the ability to add memory and replace the battery. Shame Samsung haven't copied the G4 and if they don't watch out they will be outsold by someone else giving similar specs for less money. Unfortunately OnePlus have got to prove themselves in the market and I don't think they are there yet and will be going the wrong way by making their phones more expensive.

Actually more megapixels will decrease image quality in small sensors, like those found in phones.

The conclusion is Oneplus next model is very marketing heavy and not user oriented.
These companies seem totally detached from reality. On the other hand, there is a market for "the thinnest phone", "the phone with glass on the back" even though it will break and you might keep it in a case so it won't be visible anyway etc... Think the old "women care about the colour of the car, not the engine"

Received mine on Friday having been told they were awaiting new stock. Handset is flawless. No marks at all. USB-C cable included. For anyone thinking about this phone, get a cover, bumper or something it is as slippery as an eel!

Just on with O2 now cancelling my contract, get the feeling they are not 100% how this should work, or they are just making it hard on purpose.

The trouble is some are inadequately trained &/or not properly acquainted with O2's T&Cs - hence the inconsistency with their CS agents.

Their online 'Chat' agents are a lot worse, but not so much inconsistent - just plain ignorant & misinformed the lot of them. So much so, that even O2's official forum reps admit to it.

Silly question time. ..
If I pay for the device upfront and cancel the airtime on day one without using the sim will I still need to pay the months call time, think the cheapest is 15 quid
