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.

Have a phone without a headphone jack, came with adapter. Said is lost, havent bothered replacing it. BT buds and cans.

Yeah but you'll most likely get an adapter, like HTC have done.

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

Yeah, the only one that will work would be the cheaper one. People won't spend 650 euro on a one plus if they can get the latest Galaxy for the same price.

Depends if it has better specs and non Samsung software (which a lot of people have a thing about), then they'll buy.

Yeah but the latest Samsung will have similar specs, superior camera. Samsungs branding is so strong that you're average Joe will just go with them. One plus needs to be cheaper than the competition to compete.

Absolutely, it's main selling point is it's price difference from the high end phone it's aimed at competing at, once the price gets within a certain range people will just find the extra money for the branded phone...

I'm also thinking of leaving from a Samsung Galaxy so I'm waiting to see what they Oneplus comes up with. The S8 is just way too expensive now. I hope they also have the Midnight black option from the 3T. That matt black colour was so nice.

All of a sudden my 3T is looking like a keeper. If those prices are correct (if!) I'll be hanging on to this. Seriously it's the best phone I ever had and I'm not handing out a fortune for improvements I can'tt really see in real life.

Although their plan was brilliant. Hook us in with a great phone at super low price (the One) and small incremental increases with each new model, that builds familiarity and confidence in the brand. But now? Sure your up there with the big boys at those prices. What's the unique selling point now?

Teasing the camera, but who knows what it's being compared to.

3t vs 5 maybe?

I think a couple places accidentally leaked their prices at 450 US dollars what was the 3T in dollars to compare and work out a possible euro price?

If it's circa €600 I think they'll be surprised at how much of a drop in sales they'll get.

Their whole draw from day one was they have grest specs for a great price usually half what a Samsung or iPhone was

But I'd happily take a 6GB, 64GB with a 1080p screen as a cheaper model. QHD is a no no to me. No interest in VR but most importantly battery life

If the dash charger remains the same it would save a few quid as I have 2 already
