OnePlus 3 Alternatives?

Zascar

Looking at a new phone and thinking of the OnePlus 3. I had the OnePlus One before, now I have the OnePlus X. I like the size, I just don't like the small storage, and also the glass back makes it slip off everything. I know the 3 is a great phone but its slightly larger than I really want. Are there any alternatives I should consider without spending more?

Couple of other options here, but +3 is basically the best out of them.

OK thanks, I sort of thought that was the case but I just wanted to check...

One thing, they are saying nearly a month for delivery - is that normal??

Without sounding smart why not just get a case and a memory card. For €20 you'll have more memory than a op3 - ok it wont be as well spec'd but you don't mention that as being an issue. For me expandable storage is a positive that more and more phones are lacking.

Have both but prefer the phone without a case, and as much as a memory card is great, you still have to move stuff across which is a pain. Mainly I forgot to say the processor isn't the greatest its a big laggy...

It was saying the same when I ordered last week but then got a text from DHL to say it would be delivered in 7 days.

Upgrading from my long lasting HTC One M7 soon as the battery has finally tired itself out and only lasts maybe 8 hours these days, (Not much screentime, but mobile data is kept on).

Did anyone with a HTC get an offer pushed to their phone with €50 off the price of a new HTC 10? It still looked dear to be honest.

Yeah I got one pushed to my M8. And it's shockingly expensive. The same offer applies on the UK store though, where it's a lot cheaper with the weak sterling, £470-ish

I went with the OnePlus 3 - very happy with my decision. Lightening fast and full of great features.

What are the great features?

Wondering if it's worth the move from the OPO

Broken record but again no B20 on the Mix, for that kinda money you're way better off with the OP3 etc.

4G bands LTE band 1(2100), 2(1900), 3(1800), 4(1700/2100), 5(850), 7(2600), 8(900), 38(2600), 39(1900), 40(2300), 41(2500)

Whats B20?

If its LTE 20, the specs have not yet been released for the International version.

All specs to date are for China.

We'll know more tomorrow

You did alright so, I'll have to wait it out. Completely out of stock on the website.

From what I could see it looks like it hasn't got it. Can anyone confirm?
