OnePlus 5

Ordered the 8gb model and then cancelled. Every review so far says the camera is muck. I'm using an S7 so I'd want it to match that at least. Anywho it seemed like a little beast apart from that.

Out for sure after seeing prices - it's now just another flagship phone with many other options in that price range but with still questionable support.

Nothing in it to tempt me in the slightest.

Got a 3T in town with 2 year warranty in cex for 340. Happy enough with it for my needs. Op5 looks a great phone but margin of price with established brands is narrowing which I think could be a problem for oneplus down the line

Was kind of tempted by this but lack of micro SD or water resistance along with a questionable camera has put me right off. Got an XZ premium a few weeks ago for €530 brand new in box. Seems much better value than the OP5 from what I've seen.

Where did ya pickup an XZ Premium at that price?

Don't really have much to say about the review below, except it's pretty favourable for OnePlus.
Camera is not the best in the world, but I never take pics anyway

3300 mah battery is very disappointing. A decent battery is the main think I need on a phone.

I know people getting 2 days and 8 hours SOT on the HTC U11 running Snapdragon 835 and 3000mAh battery. This device should be decent.

FaganJr · 20-06-2017 08:19PM

Ordered the 8gb and welcome pack, 604 clams and delivery Friday, can't complain

titan18 · 20-06-2017 08:33PM

Should I do it, ahhhh

Benzino · 20-06-2017 08:36PM

Really on the fence about this one. Have a OPO and looking to upgrade. The OP5 hasn't blown me away though. Between this and an S8 I think.

I'm same, OPO too, but hasn't blown me away and wondering should I go the extra amount for S8

Just pushed the trigger here.

Not the excepted price for a flagship killer, but I do like a lot custom roms/mods and is guaranteed that the comunity will be big.

Julez · 20-06-2017 08:47PM

A big plus for me is every review have said its lightning fast, like really fast. Faster than anything out at the moment.

Seems the falling down points are the camera isn't as good as it could be, and there is no water resistance. Other people also annoyed by the lack of SD card slot, though with 128GB built in I'm not too sure why you'd need it?

Amirani · 20-06-2017 08:48PM

Tempted given I'm still rocking a OnePlusX, but think I'll pass for now.

This has worried me on the fast part though

I'd get over camera, SD card and water resistance really but if I can't trust the benchmarks, that's really killing it's selling point

No cases in stock too, which is a bit of a killer on buying as have to buy that sometime else then

Why is the nicer dearer model only midnight black. I wanted the 64GB model but it is only available in the ugly grey.

Have you considered the LG G6? I know the processor is a bit slower but some reviewers prefer it to even the S8

Am I able to buy this right now?

Yes if you enter the code. I forget what it is but look back 2 or three pages and it is there.

Yes, just ordered it. The early access code is "Clearer Photos" that lets you order it with free 3 day shipping

bilbot79 · 20-06-2017 09:23PM

Is that 50% accessory bundle sold out then?

What's the best price for a lg6?

Halflifept · 20-06-2017 09:29PM

480€ at amazon.it is the safest bet at the moment.

Jayop · 20-06-2017 09:33PM

Looks bloody awesome. My OP2 is still running great 2 years on but my God I am so tempted to buy this anyway.

the specs when compared to the iPhone 7+ at €1029 in Litttlewoods today are unreal.

bilbot79 · 20-06-2017 09:34PM

Bought. My HTC M8 went kaput a month ago and I've been using a Samsung Galaxy Ace since which can't eve hold Whatsapp. This upgrade should knock my socks off.

Didn't think it was a great review by him, he's usually more thorough than that.
I'm happy with the other reviews so far, ordered the 8gb/128gb earlier, can't wait until Friday now :pac:

Jurgen Klopp · 20-06-2017 10:37PM

Anyone disappointed on this keep an eye out for the ZUK Z3 Max that's due in July, priced right it could take a lot of custom
