Word of warning : I've been using OP 3 for 11 months and although the specs look great on the paper but has issues such as over heating, battery drain. My phone is currently away for repair at the moment for another hardware issue and I've spent a lot of time factory resetting and fixing the phone in past few months. Oneplus tech support aren't that great. I've just switched to samsung instead of buying oneplus 5 as again I'm seeing poor feedback and very high prices.
Do your own research before buying.

Have to agree. I've been all for Gearbest deals, however my Xiaomi stopped charging after 9 months so now to move onto another phone.
In my opinion the appeal of the Chinese phones is that they're cheap and that balances out the risk with no real warranty. No way I'd be spending this kind of money.

Do people still refer to big phones as phablets? It's just become the norm now so seems strange...(not a dig just a question!)

Times have changed. A few years ago anything above 5.3" was considered a phablet.
I would probably still argue the case that 5.5" and above are borderline phablets.

6.2in S8+ feels great in my hands
But I've had many people say it's massive, I'd say 5.5-5.7 is still phablet entry size

The OP5 as the latest 835 SoC plus guaranteed software updates for a year plus.

Times change and definitions are blurry.
I remember a review of the Samsung Omnia i8910 I had that said it was a huge beast with a massive screen. 3.7 inches.
That was only 8 years ago. 5.5 inches is pretty much standard flagship model size for android phones today. Phablet hardly seems used since sizes that large appear normal

The 3T was released 8 months ago, how have you been using it for the past 11 months? Also i have been using The OP3 since release and it has been perfect so far
Dalkirst
6 Jul 17#16
Yeah how have you been using a phone that came out 2 weeks ago for 11 months?
I've got a 3 that came out then using it now no problems with it.
Topper1900
6 Jul 17#17
Likewise I've had my 3 for a year without any problems, it seems from OnePlus' excellent forum that the only users having problems with overheating etc are those who can't clear the cache etc after software updates. On the beta OS software it's still receiving bi-monthly updates.
twisterteddy to Topper1900
6 Jul 17#39
I've read the forums and even raised a ticket with onpelus, cleared cache, various tweaks and even done multiple factory resets. Factory reset has made slight improvement however its no where near satisfactory. If I use google maps on 2G/3G connection with no other apps running(background sync turned off), you can almost fry an egg on screen after about 10 minutes of use. The battery will drain significantly as well.

maybe you where just unlucky? I have a pixel XL and the 3T and by far i prefer the 3T, Dual sim and a much better battery life, they only thing i prefer on the pixel is the camera. mine never gets hot even when gaming for over an hour at a time :smile: great phone for the price paid very happy with mine. never had to use oneplus support so cannot comment.

You are correct, 3t has no such 'issue' (Which is likely over egged anyway)
Fantastic Phone, although the word 'phablet' does make me cringe a bit just use the word phone!

I'm a phone nerd, I've used most phones you can name as daily drivers.
And as many people like me will agree, the OnePlus 3T is easily the best phone on the market.
It surpasses all limitations you might find on a iPhone Sony Motorola LG and Samsung.
If you're able to try before you buy then I insist that you do.
Cepultura
6 Jul 17#25
Any "phone nerd" worth their salt knows how to get past any limitations there is on a Smasung / LG and turn them into even bigger powerhouses with root, custom roms, Xposed on MM, custom patched apps etc.
While the 3T is a nice phone and good for the price, bit of a hyperbole calling it the best phone on the market confused

is a Nougat update available for this?

Rooting specifically Samsung's sometimes cause more problems than it resolves. I can only view Samsung as the iPhone of the android community.
..they look great and have decent specs though Samsung's ROM makes it difficult to exploit half of the loopholes you will discover with different branded phones.
Cepultura
6 Jul 17#29
No they dont. It causes no problems at all, ive rooted and xposed countless Samsung devices with no issues if you know what your doing. Please give me some proof of these problems.
Samsung devices have top of the range parts and specs also.

That's unfortunate, I have my op3 since launch and couldn't be happier, playing high demanding games like a breeze, it never overheats, battery last over a day and 15 min dash charge and back on track for half a day more. Can't find any other phone with better price/specs /reliability in the market.

Sorry I meant OP 3 not OP 3T, however the same battery drain issue exists in 3T as well if you do some research.

I used to be a fan of One Plus until they punished UK customers with a price bump after the Brexit. Also, they pass off phones with faults such as the jelly scroll screen on the OP5. They don't deserve our loyalty, this is a toxic company.
Topper1900 to Vatman95
6 Jul 17#47
iPhone had bend gate Samsung fire gate, no phone co is perfect but a slight bit of jello which will eventually be fixed by a software upgrade is hardly the worse problem to have on a phone. The OP5 now seems expensive but this thread is about the £150 cheaper OP3T which is still a brilliant phone for the money.

There are reported battery drain and overheating problems, I had them: Google services reset and Facebook unintelligible fixed.

I agree. I have had the 3t since release, November last year I think. It is the best phone I've owned. No overheating, no issues for me, just smooth software with no useless bloat ware. If ur into custom rooms there are loads to try also.

Must admit I was tempted but went for the LG G6 when the price lowered to £340. Still an awful company. https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/06/21/oneplus_cheat_codes_for_benchmarks/

No mate, oneplus did not punish customers. Brexiters did.[/quote]No turning the clock back unless Sir Vince gets in. The point is that they upped the price almost immediately, Bovril didn't and now they are flogging an old phone for £40 less than it was when it was new. The bloody cheek of it.
The OP5 is the fastest 835 cheating or not and that will remain so until the Pixel 2 arrives costing £100's more, I personally wouldn't use an LG if somebody gave me one for free, why bring out a 821 phone in 2017!
