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.

How'd you order it before launch?

EagererBeaver · 22-06-2017 12:34PM

Can we have a delivery update ban on this thread like we did with the OP3 please? Going to get head wrecking very quickly.

How did you unlock the BL?
Is there a OP5 toolkit out?

Edit: Nevermind, in my excited frame of mind today, I forgot that you can just send the OEM unlock command to it in ADB

Excuse my ignorance, but what is the benefit of this?

Seems a bit iffy that its giving a $100 discount on a phone that was just announced. And you might have to pay for the import duty Insurance which just brings the price up

Thoughts on the camera?

Kur4mA · 22-06-2017 03:50PM

Any decent cases out yet lads? Mine's on the way.

dre_jspeed · 22-06-2017 04:12PM

Mine just landed, first impression is good and I am upgrading for the oneplue3

hardy buck salmon · 22-06-2017 05:08PM

Ordered the 64GB model on Wednesday. I was a bit reluctant after seeing iVerge's negative review but the later reviews were different. The camera seems to hold its against the iPhone 7 Plus here (Just don't record in 4K). Portrait mode is a bit of a gimmick.

Looks like it's definitely one of the fastest phones available at the minute. Thought about shelling out a bit more for an S8, unreal screen but I'm not gone on Samsung's UI and the state of that bixby button.

Was hoping for slightly smaller bezels but oh well. It looks like it's about the same incremental upgrade from the 3T as the 3T was from the 3. Overall it's high end specs for a somewhat reasonable price. My order has been dispatched but haven't gotten a tracking code yet. Just hope it comes in the post tomorrow!

budgemook · 22-06-2017 05:25PM

mine is shipped out now. can someone tell me how to track it?

Copy your order number (OPSXXX...) and paste it in the shipper's reference box here. If nothing comes up it means it either hasn't left the warehouse yet or it might not be DHL who's delivering it.

thegreatiam · 22-06-2017 07:28PM

does anyone have a list of preferred alternatives to the one+5?

I had the one+1 since a few months after it came out, but lost it a few weeks ago, so I've been waiting on the 5 launch.

The price was a little higher than I was hoping for so I want to see what else in competitive before I buy. or is the op5 the best in the bracket?

I'm not too bothered by a camera, more that it plays video well, and music. battery life and waterproof would be a bonus. Prefer the most recent specs. snapdragon 835 etc android 7 etc.

Not really fussed on brand, as long as the quality is there. want to avoid anything with excessive bloatware (galaxy 8)

While I'm not gonna bother with OP myself anymore the 500 option is probably the best at the moment form the specs you want

Unless you wait a few weeks to see what the ZUK Z3 plus is priced at. There might be a few Chinese bits and pieces too think there's a thread here somewhere

yeah, I'm standing on principal for those prices.
releasing a slightly updated version of a product, with an inflated price tag every year. Getting to be a joke.

Check the LG G6 thread it's a bit cheaper than OP5 in places.

That's what I'm thinking of picking up next week.

For anyone who ordered but hasn't received a tracking number yet, just ask them for it on their live support chat.
