Hi,
Anybody on here using the tesco mobile on their oneplus three? Currently own a oneplus one and the reception is lacking.....
Also is the Bluetooth good/working?

The reception is up to your provider/SIM, not the phone. Bluetooth is working without issues.

Would having an LCD screen impact on Battery life?
How long are you getting out of the battery these days (as opposed to first use)?

In short, I'd say on average about 4/5 hrs. Nothing much has changed battery wise for me... thats a good thing. You can get a little more or less depending on ROM versions and the like but that's a different story.




Some background for anyone wanting to know the screen tech:

With Amoled screens, to save battery it simply comes down to how much black you have on screen, so on the OP3, using the black theme (in settings) and dark wallpapers and 'dark mode' on apps like twitter and others all help keep your battery happy. You can even have bright white text with a dark/black background and still save battery as the majority of your screen is unlit. (off) Amoleds contrast levels are fantastic and having amazing deep blacks makes video watching so much better looking than LCD, plus most people enjoy the punchy colours of a amoleds.
It's not all good news however as amoleds have had issues with screen burn for years now... (In short, having them on high brightness for an extended time is not recommended as it can burn phosphor dots into your screen and they will show up as darkened parts of your screen) it's something they have yet to fully fix in amoled tech.

With LCD tech, saving battery simply comes down to how bright you have the screen, have it too bright and it kills your battery in no time regardless of how much black you have as the the backlights are still pushing maximum brightness and those nice blacks then start to turn a charcoal gray... However, LCD's can look better in direct sunlight.

Both screen types have advantages and disadvantages but in the end (until they sort the Amoled burn problem) LCD is still a better tech. (IMO) And I am an amoled nut! I wish everyone used them as they look fantastic! (when properly tuned )

Just out of curiosity are people here using the on screen navigation buttons or the capacitive ones?

Capacitive ones for me, if I have to use a physical home button I may aswel use the capacitive buttons too. I also just like the cleaner look, rather than having the on screen nav bar there.

has anybody had to send their one plus 3 off to be repaired? If so how long did it take and how much did it cost? thanks in advance

Anybody gonna buy the oneplus 3t??

No plans anyways. Different (worse?!) screen and a slightly better processor, all for an extra €80 (rumoured).

No thanks.

I'd imagine that the 3T replaces the 3, probably because they can't source the parts for the 3 anymore, such is the lack of stock

Frick!!
I just purchased the 3 last week.
In two minds should I cancel it.
1. More than likely the 3 will be somewhat cheaper
2. with an extra ~80 quid I could get a better spec’ed phone

Rumour has it its going to be released on the 14th …

Wonder when it'll be released, 821 confirmed, new camera sensor rumoured. If it came with a larger battery and 128gb storage too I'd be tempted if its just the 821 and a new camera sensor for an extra 80 they can piss off imo.

Reports the battery will be 3300mah

Have to say, I bought the OP3 two weeks after launch and I'm a bit pissed off that they will be having another "main flagship" phone so soon after launching this one.

Oneplus back to what they do best...cheesing off customers

I'm still waiting to buy another OP3 and they're still out of stock...

Be cool if they just updated the cpu but kept the same price.

Doesn't look they'll be coming back into stock.

I hope not, when you try to buy one it says out of stock but offers to notify you when they become available again. I was hoping to give one as a Christmas present...

I'm in the same boat, I ordered the day after launch thinking this would be their flagship for at least another year, now the resell value of the original OP3 will most likely drop and be somewhat outdated spec wise, it has me a bit pissed off because if I knew this was gonna happened I would have waited, if OnePlus offered a trade-in deal of the Original + 80 (or whatever the difference is of the new one) I'd be happy to do that but if not I'll be on to Customer service to let them know how I feel

And you know what..... they won't give a toss! Poor form really.

When did apple release a new phone after 5 months?
