What screen on time are you getting from your OP3?

Not sure how to check that but I'm on and off it most of the day in work and by six pm it's nearly dead and has let me down a few times on the commute home when listening to podcasts

Well the battery in the 5 is smaller so you won't see any benefit in an upgrade.

He has a OP3 so its 300 mAH bigger, that and the ram and chip is more power efficient, and they apparently worked hard on battery optimization.

I'd wait to see what us boards users say about the battery first, rather then the review

More real world

Well ... according to GSMArena.com's review, battery longevity from usage is better than OP3T but stand-by and talk-time are worse so your experience will depend on how you use the phone e.g. if you're doing a lot of web-browsing then you'll get a lot further with the OP5 than the OP3/OP3T

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

But you also get 128GB storage with the 8GB, that's a nice upgrade and worth the price alone.

What I found interesting in that review is they said other Snap835 devices did better on standby and talk time. Hopefully that means there's a bit more optimisation left in the 5's battery, with updates.

Not exactly; they said that their experiences with S835s and standby/talk-time was similar across the board and therefore most likely not down to OnePlus but something chipset specific. I believe that they also saw this with Kirin 960 which is closely related to S835 in terms of cores

Haha, I picked that up completely wrong!

Bit disappointing, really, was expecting the 835 to be a big improvement over the 820, battery wise, in all respects, given the manufacturing process.

It seriously is. The HTC U11 has miles better battery than the 10, with the exact same battery size, and the U11 has a bigger screen. Some of this might be due to android 7.1.1, but the chip definitely seems a lot better.

Overall you are getting the the same or better battery endurance in general usage patterns but with a good bump in performance. A bigger battery would have been nice but such is life. I'm more concerned by the camera but, since I've ordered one, I'm hoping that software updates will improve some of the image processing that seems to be to blame

@Basil3/pandabat: it's more a comment on my own expectations than the SoC, really. I thought we'd see Snap. 625-like numbers, but I suppose the 625 doesn't have to drive QHD screens and a gpu to match.

No worries. I hear ya

hard to find the perfect phone. Got tired of waiting for the next thing myself so pulled the trigger on this. Time will tell if it was a good move or not.

Settings>Battery>Tap on "Screen" and you'll see "Time on" there.

Is there much difference in the UI of the two? What version is OP3 on now?

Looks fairly similar tbh, I decided to set it up new, rather than restore from a backup, so I think there's a different launcer. It seems to be very like the pixel launcher.

OP3 is on 4.1.6

I've just been prompted to d/l an update for the 5. It's 4.5.1 a 159mb update.
Notes are it's a optimisation update with improvements to the folowing:

Camera
Bluetooth Stability
Network Stability
System Stability
Compatibility with 3rd party apps

Exciting stuff

Are you selling the OP3?

Mine finally says Shipped Out. Estimated delivery tomorrow.

From Poland.

Ordered on Monday evening estimated delivery was Friday but just tracked it and it arrived at my local UPS this morning and is out for deliver, very pleased with that speed.

stesaurus · 22-06-2017 12:05PM

Ordered within minutes of going live but although it's showing as shipped UPS haven't yet picked it up yet. Annoying that it seems random

StereoSound · 22-06-2017 12:07PM

I decided to go for the 5 , I have a 3 since launch and I don't know if it's worth going for it really but what the hell I'll go for it. I'm gonna go for the 6gb ram model because I think 8gb ram is over kill. Am I wrong in going for the 6gb ram version? Would you really know the difference in use?
