I doubt the LG competitor has dual SIM? A must for me.

Did it change to 22nd after it was marked shipped? Mine still processing. Like Je_suis_Jean, I'm in Dublin and ordered almost as soon as possible after sales opened.

It was just the 22nd when I checked earlier. I ordered about 6pm yesterday evening.

Regarding the "screen protector", is it tempered glass?
I have to the the screen protectors that have come pre installed on my last couple of phones (Oppo R7 plus & LeEco Le Max2) are absolutely brilliant and neither are tempered glass. the fact it has one pre installed is the best thing, I'd make a mess if I had to put it on myself!

When I got the 3t it was already on it when it was delivered. Hopefully it'll be the same with this one also.

Useful.Idiot

Would definitely agree that the LG G6 is probably the main other great alternative to the OP5 at the price-point. It wouldn't be as fast as the OP5 but probably has a better camera and the edge-to-edge display is definitely a high point. I'm not really familiar with LG's flavour of Android so can't comment on that. I don't see why waterproofing is an essential flagship feature all of a sudden these days, I remember back when you had to purchase "Active" versions of phones to get that. Don't think I've ever lost a phone to water damage.

I got swept up in the hype yesterday and ordered the 8gb OP5, arrival date is 23rd. I've been going back and forth between buyers remorse and a lack of ever since, what with reading reviews and general online reactions. I don't see how a phone can make use of 8GB's of RAM but was really on for the black version and could definitely make use of the extra storage space. Coming from a OnePlus X. Guess I'll know for sure how I feel about it once I have it in hand, can always return if I feel it was too much of an impulse buy!

If not does anyone know if the glass screen protector included in the welcome bundle is handy enough to fit? I'm a disaster when it comes to fiddling around with stuff like that and usually end up with it all finger marked and misaligned and in the bin 5 minutes later

Mine is scheduled for Friday. I ordered within 30 seconds of the Clearer Photos code being revealed during the live presentation and I live in Dublin. HTF can my phone take a day longer to arrive than you lads? Where do ye live? Next door to the 1+ warehouse?????

Decision made for me was mulling over cancelling it all morning but it's dispatched now with estimated delivery Friday. Went with the 64gb version. Was more than I was planning to spend as I was hoping to keep the budget closer to €300 but reckon it's worth in the long run. Few initial concerns about camera from first reviews I've read but have seen some more favourable reviews and comparison videos since. It will improve too with software updates

Missed the welcome bundle while dallying over deciding whether to order. Got a flip case. I'll see how I get on with it would have preferred the back case and screen protector. Bundle was great value with cable and headphones. Will probably still end up buying a dash car charger and down the line so might get a different case then.

If hardware specs are your main concern, you're correct.

But the LG G6 is catching my eye as a solid alternative. And the G6 Plus will be out next month with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, with the option to expand via microSD.

I get that the LG G6 and G6 Plus are good alternatives offering less out and out performance but more in terms of water proofing and SD car expansion so in pure € terms depending on what's important to you the G6/G6 Plus may offer better value for money for your needs but one thing I genuinely can't figure out is how anyone with a 128gb phone could place any value on the ability to buy an SD card for expansion. How many movies/TV series do you want to carry around with you at any one time?????

I'm not saying the OP5 isn't great - but I feel like it's less of an obvious choice now with the price increase. Options are more blurred.

Maybe you feel differently though - I'd love to hear why, as I was all set to buy the OP5 until yesterday.

Sorry but you have yet to ask why the lines are blurred,

I already gave you reasons why they are not for that price point.

So over to you horse

Why do you need 6 or 8GB of RAM. Does it really make that much of a difference over 4GB.

This is so true. I think it is bragging rights more than anything. It will make damn all difference to daily use.

Also regarding the camera, you can bet OnePlus will be updating the Camera's firmware very soon as they get more feedback so take early reviews of it with a sack full of salt.

I'm a bit conflicted on whether to get the OP5. I was all ready to purchase at launch, until I noticed the price increase.

At 499, it's not that far off other Android flagships.

Far more indecisive on what to get now, which is the opposite of what I wanted the OP5 to do for me.

I think I'll just swap my OPO for one of the many second hand 3Ts that'll be floating about now

What's the likelihood or a true silent mode in the OP5?

All the cases are sold out!!
Should have ordered it when I ordered the phone yesterday

If the Karbon bumber case which comes with my welcome pack isn't up to the job I'll be investing in one of these. Not pretty but built to provide protection.

I had the same Diztronic bumper case on my original OPO as Benzino and it protected it against all kinds of falls for 2.5 years. It was like having an F1 tyre wrapped around the phone.

When I bought an UMI Z Pro as a temp phone waiting for the OP5 to come out I put a skinny case onto it. Dropped it the very first day and smashed the screen. 6 weeks to get a replacement screen from Ali Express during which time I had to crawl back to my OPO and it's Diztronic case!!

On mobile, so can't link proper, sorry. It looks good in the pictures, but not sure what it'd be like on the phone. But it's inexpensive, so worth a look as my OPO is still rocking the diztronic without issue.
