Oneplus gone too expensive. 3T upgrade, what to go for?

emo72

Yeah the 5 is over 500 euro, I'm not having that. When you think the oneplus one was 300 euro, each generation was pushed up in price. I wish oneplus would make the best phone with a budget of 300. Anyone know any of those Chinese manufacturers that is easy to get? Thanks lads.

You can get the 5T for ~ €427 from Gearbest right now.

If that's still too much check out this thread for Chinese manufacturers.

Why are people still recommending gearbest? Nothing but overwhelming bad reviews.

Because it's the cheapest price for that phone and every company has a certain percentage of bad reviews from lost packages etc.

I've order dozens of things from them with no issue, as is the case for 99% of people.

is there a recommended postage method to have a possibility of not having to pay extra?

Standard shipping has less chance compared to e.g. DHL but no guarantee.

I'd recommend reading the last few pages and getting the advice of multiple people rather just my own opinion. But if you're pushed I'd recommend Redmi Note 4 (although I'm not sure on your max budget).

Would you get stung by customs buying that?

You might and you might not, pot luck as always.

I don't think you'll find a phone that's much of an upgrade on the one plus 3t apart from a better camera/slightly bigger battery.

Didn't notice that you already had a 3T. I would agree with Tyson Fury, you're not getting much of a better phone than it for €350. The best phone in that range that can be bought the usual way is probably the Honor 9.

thanks again lads. very helpful.

have the honor 8 . great phone with great camera and looks too. battery life is decent on the 8 - better on the 9 I think.
honor 10 will probably be my next phone. hopefully they will add waterproofing next time.
only thing with the phone is that you need to get a thin clear plastic/silicone back cover as it's all glass on the back.
that's a great price currently on amazon there at the moment at 308 sterling

Anywhere else good to buy from? That price is only on the blue version. Cheers.
