Hey,

I'm hoping to get the OnePlus 3 for my birthday and have done extensive research on it through this thread, Reddit and online reviews.

Summary wise though, would you recommend it? An easy YESI'd mainly be using it for photography and internet/social media if it makes any difference. Great camera, not a huge fan of the app. Look at Youtube vids comparing the camera and specific camera reviews I've read comments about the battery actually not lasting Ive never had a problem with it. Lasts up to 6 hours screen on time and charging is incredibly fastand a few glitches with the notifications not vibrating etc NO issues for me. They may be problems with permissions or settings on their phones. Is this a frequent issue or would it happen to one in every so people? Also, with the 64gb storage, do you find this sufficient enough? Yes. It's loads. Check your current phones storage to see how much you need.(Not having any storage problems or not enough storage to download any apps or update the apps?)

Many thanks in advance for any replies.

I waited a month to order the gold. Well worth it!

Ouch, a month?! Estimated delivery is 10/10 for me. Did you order from the IE site or the GB one?

The Gold wasn't released until a month after the graphite. IE.

One more sleep....

Slightly disappointed I'm going from the Ultra 6 to this a 5.5" phone, had become very used to a big phone.

You won't be. The ultra is a pile in comparison

It's more the size drop than phone quality.

Would this kernel thing be the reason why my battery is draining so fast?

blade1 · 26-09-2016 04:15PM

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Seems the dolphin browser was the culprit.
With all push notifications and most Google related apps turned off and with battery saving on, I was losing 1% in less than 3 minutes while browsing.

Uninstalled dolphin and reinstalled Chrome and turned everything back on and now I am losing 1% in over 6 minutes.

Not too bad!

Hi all, looking to buy one of these, as my M9 gave up the ghost... The .ie site shows the graphiote in stock but I see 'Estimated availability: Ships within 5 weeks' further down the page?

I got a Oneplus1 a few years ago via parcel motel, is the UK site quicker than the Irish on re. delivery-or is there a better option? Using a samsung galaxy s2 as a temp phone, doubt I can stick this pos for 4 weeks

Why dont you just check on the UK site

glynf · 26-09-2016 05:52PM

UK site says the same; 'Estimated availability: Ships within 5 weeks',

I'm asking if anyone here got theirs faster from other oneplus regions. and how accurate is the 5 week estimate?

I ordered one on the UK site because there was none in stock on the Irish one.
3 or 4 days later they popped up on the Irish site and it said delivery by 22nd of Sept. which was the same date the UK site had giving me.
So I ordered again on the Irish site and cancelled the UK one.
This can be done as long as it's not sent.

The reason I ordered on the Irish site was in case there was a problem and it needed to be sent back it might be easier to sort out,

glynf · 26-09-2016 06:09PM

Cheers for the reply blade1, will try same. I assumed they would allocate more stock to the UK as its a bigger market.

I posted about this here yesterday.

I ordered a oneplus 3 graphite from the Irish site last Thursday at 23:55. The initial order confirmation gave an estimated shipping date of 30 September but didn't say from where it would be shipped. Oneplus emailed on Friday to say order had been shipped. Got a text from DHL on Saturday to say it would be delivered tomorrow, Tuesday 27th.

I checked DHL tracking and it seems mine was shipped from Heathrow on Friday, arrived in East Midlands on Saturday and sent to Shannon on the same day.

Other posters indicate that their orders originated in Poland.

Will report back if I receive it tomorrow, as promised.

dahat · 26-09-2016 07:51PM

I was originally told 23rd then today and as if 5pm my parcel was still in Brussels but online tracking has it in Dublin since Friday night.
Great Customer service staff DHL have there.

That doesn't inspire confidence!

DHL tracking shows mine as shipped from East Midlands to Shannon on Saturday but no mention atall of its arrival in Shannon.

Will see what happens tomorrow.

mgudim · 26-09-2016 08:19PM

I ordered mine last Wednesday, it departed from Poland on Friday, currently processing in Hannover according to dhl tracking. Hoping to get it by Thursday, can't wait. Anyone know the rest of the stops it will take before reaching Dublin?

Mine went from Poland to Germany to Belgium.

Phone delivered today, now just gotta get out of work.

deadanonymau5 · 27-09-2016 02:25PM

The OnePlus 3 will be in o2 stores in the UK soon. I didnt even know o2 still existed in the UK.

sentient_6 · 27-09-2016 08:20PM

Was the subject of an EU intervention on competition grounds.

Legend_Steph · 28-09-2016 10:14PM

Ordered mine (Soft Gold) on Monday 26th. Website telling me estimated dispatch is October 4th and delivery is 11th. Really hoping it'll be dispatched sooner as my birthday is October 5th, family celebration is on the 8th and then celebration with friends is the week after. Hoping for a bit of luck.

Just picked up 3 of these lads. Only 99c delivered each. Hand as I have a load of old charging cables around the place.

Count yourself luck Steph, just ordered the graphite yesterday and I'm getting a dispatch date of October 24th with delivery on the 31st!

I'm hoping for yours, it's just a safety precaution just in case it's delayed! (For example, it gets sent out earlier but with whatever reason the delay is, your window for delivery is between the 24th and 31st of October)

All I hope is that I'm not hyping myself up too much for it with so many good reviews against the bad and then I end up being disappointed by it. I'm sure I'll be providing an update once I do receive it!
