    Mine recently arrived. Almost same tracking as previously posted here but with an extra hop to Shannon. Wonder how many 5T phones landed in Dublin Airport this morning?! :D

    Almost same size as my OPO as expected, also similar locations for side buttons and sim slot.

    Wasn't expecting the soft case but still glad I got the early bird case.

    Hoping mine will arrive during that half-hour when I'm hope 4:30 - 5PM today. That would be perfect!

    Can you give a review on the camera please when youve used it enough (if the camera interests you at all that is)
    I have a OP3 too and would like to know how big of an upgrade it is.


    Thanks

    Pay particular attention to the panorama mode which is next to useless in some scenes. General summation seems to be that the camera won't best a Pixel or Samsung flagship but, at the OnePLus's price point, it's pretty handy. If the camera is really important to you then I'd look elsewhere if I'm really honest. I do like my OP5 a lot but the camera is very hit and miss in my experience.

    You can get a Nokia 8 on Amazon for not too much now and Honor/Huawei also worth a look depending on current offers.

    Delighted with mine. Huge upgrade from opo. Face unlock is excellent and finger print reader is ultra fast too.

    Very pleased. Going to retire my Nexus 6p now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,507 ✭✭✭Carroller


    Anyone else who ordered Tuesday not receive shipping email?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 62 ✭✭WolfSpinach

    No bloatware this is awesome

    :o Shameless poor student here.

    Whoever is looking to buy you get a free 20 euro (or possibly the 20 dollars equivalent?) voucher towards any accessories if you use a referral link:
    https://oneplus.net/invite#V00X2N7CUTVU2MK :D

    Please note that I get points for this and then if you build up points you can use them towards accessories so it benefits both the referrer (me) and the referee (you...hopefully). If posts like this are not allowed then feel free to remove.

    Mine's just been despatched. I ordered after 7pm, still says 29th for delivery.

    I really hate the way this and similar OPO threads descend into a courier spotting discussion every time a new phone is released :mad:

    You ordered a new phone.

    You're excited to get it.

    It's on it's way.

    Can I connect the dash charger that came with it to a usb slot on PC to charge?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,576 ✭✭✭digitaldr


    Yes but will charge slooowly


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 381 ✭✭pandabat


    You can connect the cable to a USB port and use it in a normal way. You can also charge non-dashcharge devices off the dashcharge charger but obviously they will only charge at the standard rate


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,769 ✭✭✭✭blade1


    Lads, is there any way I can make the white bar with the home button etc. transparent or something?
    Not a fan of it the way it is.

    The USB slot on a pc will not have enough power to charge it, barely enough to keep it running with the screen on.

    It will charge, just slowly, unless it's a front USB slot with particularly poor-quality wiring. It's tedious compared to dashcharge though
