No IP rating is a disappointment.

I'd be dubious enough anyway the more I look at it. The photo looks like a OnePlus 3 doctored to show a dual lens on the back.

I'm mad to upgrade and as I use my phone out cycling, the waterproofing would be ideal. I have a OP2 and I'm always worried when we have rain.

The leaks are picking up steam now so I'd say we aren't far away from an official press release. It's this or a Note 7 for me, if I can get my hands on one.

I cant see the OP5 being under 500 quid for what they are offering. Its still a great price though if the rumored specs are correct. Fingers crossed for an IP rating.

Would love to see a 5000 mah battery, that would certainly blow the other companies out of the water.

Only thing im hoping for is a substantial improvement in camera performance. The only reason I moved on from oneplus after the 2.

Too similar to the 3 to warrant an upgrade?
Or am I being pedantic?

Isn't 6GB of RAM in a phone complete overkill. The camera and battery is what sell phones.

I've never expericenced any burn in on the OP3 for sure!
Suppossed to be a 3000mAh battery again in this one

Screen too. I'd be slightly concerned about going from a Samsung display to this.

What are OnePlus screens (IPS isn't it?) like for burn in? That's the only disadvantage of the Samsung one, as nice as it is my S7 edge is destroyed with Android Auto burn.

I don't have any burn in and I use Android Auto for 2 hours per day. Had the 3T since a week after it was released. I came from an S5 and the screens are very similar. 3T is slightly too blue but I got used to that quickly and only remember it now when turning off night mode in the morning.

I never had burn in with the S5 either and my wife still uses it. I didn't use Android auto at the time though.

If there's anything to this then it'll be time to get the bluetooth headphones out.

Or might just be back on top of the phone

Usb C is a better connector.
Plus you'll get an adaptor anyway.
No problemo

He means the removal of headphone slot ...

Its definitely a good thing that OnePlus will be working directly with DxOMark to improve their camera. HTC identified their camera as a weak point and since then have produced the 3 best mobile cameras (10, Pixel, U11).

Only concerning thing is rumours of the OP5 being $650. People won't overlook weaknesses if its near flagship price.

Yeah, I was too. I meant you'd get a headphone adaptor for the usb c slot

Look, I know it's replacing 2 ports with one and a lot of people won't like it, which I completely understand.
I'm just saying that all your headphones don't immediately become obsolete either

Thanks for for the information, didn't know you could get an adapter like that.

Personally I don't care as I can't understand in this day and age why people have headphones that need to be plugged in. Same goes for wanting mad good speakers on a phone. Bluetooth​, people.

Decreased battery life, people.

its nominal, the increase, the headphones are amplified by battery in bluetooth, by the phone in wired

I get the reasons for both sides in terms using bt as I own some super expensive bt headphones.

But the sole reason for removing the port is to make phones Skinnier.

I've enough of phones going Skinnier they don't need to be Skinnier they need bigger batteries. So removing the port isn't necessary tbh

It's nothing to do with making the phone thinner. My Moto Z was 5mm thin, so I guess an argument could be made for that device, but not for any other ones that have been released.

In the case of Apple, it's purely to make money and charge a royalty on every device that connects to the phone.

I agree about speakers but BT headphones are really expensive. I use xiaomi hybrid earphones and to get similar quality sound from a BT set I'd need to spend nearly a 100 euro. The xiaomis were less than 20!

Although, I reckon BT headphones would last a lot longer than wired seeing as it's usually the wires that break.

its because analog connections should have been done away with 10 years ago. its insane they have hung on so long

Ah tbf they are in everything so I think that's a tad over kill.

In terms of music most folks wouldn't detect the difference a digital signal can give in terms of quality​

Thats a false argument entirely.

Your ears are analogue. You have to use a DAC to hear music, we dont hear bits. So BT vs onboard is only a case of where you put the DAC. Moves the "Quality" from the phone to the headset. Downside: more expensive headphones. Upside: You can get as good a DAC as you're willing to pay for. Either way, its still analogue.



Any rumors regarding Qi or NFC?

I'm thinking they might drop two phones on us this time round, one for the bleeding edge users (to help make some money back as ram prices keep going up) and one for the rest of us who just want higher end without being ripped off.
Both phones will have the snapdragon-835 CPU and maybe 4300 battery but the higher end model will come with 8GB RAM, 128-256 GB storage and maybe a higher than 1080p screen... they will be looking for 600-630 lids for it. While phone two will be the more mainstream upgrade to the T at 6GB/64BG/1080p at but still with a slightly higher price 500-530 euro.

OP released a statement yesterday saying they are pulling the 3T fron June 1st so it will probably be released end of June I would think

I'd be very surprised if they released two phones
