You would have been the same, but you were waiting on the rose gold model

Mine also. Hopefully it'll update soon. Heading away on holidays next week and would like to have it by then..

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

You mean Soft Gold..... yeah, waited a bloody month for it to release!! :eek::pac:

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 Android Flagship is if far off with dual camera dual sim 128Gb memory and 8Gb of Ram for 560 Euro.
I cant think of any.

god's toy

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.

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'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.

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.

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

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?????

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.

54and56

Anyone know if there is a screen protector pre attached to the phone? One of the video reviewers said his came with a screen protector already attached and that was after he removed the film which shows you where the power button is etc.

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?????

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!

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

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!

budgemook

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

I almost bought it at the start but while considering it the bundle had sold out and it was asking me to remove it. I closed out of the window., and decided against buying it.

I've just gone back now to re-consider ordering and as I was adding things to the cart I noticed that the welcome bundle was in my cart still, but not out of stock. So, I've just managed to order the phone with the welcome bundle!

You can't seem to add a new welcome bundle, but if anyone still has it in their cart they may be able to purchase it.

dre_jspeed

What was in the welcome pack? I skipped over all that and just order the phone

Bit more expensive than I had hoped. If the battery lasts considerably longer than on one plus three I will get it, otherwise I'll give it a miss

What screen on time are you getting from your OP3?
