I dunno...there's something to be said for a company to just ape the iPhone and do it for less.
The shame is that this phone doesn't support CDMA.
Got a tip for us?

The new OP5 is nowhere near a new iPhone IMO outside of looks. I'd gladly pay a few hundred more for the real deal. A ton of RAM doesn't make it a better phone. It's mostly wasted and inefficient in it's use of RAM, which is why it needs so much.
An Apple customer might look down on this phone, but the reviews aren't bad. (That I've read.)

Yep, echoes what I've seen.
Loyalist Apple customers, of course...see it differently.
You gotta be kidding me, op? there is no future on op, do you think only hardware is matter? whats the point of that? what do you want to run with that?

You really get what you pay for. One plus is notorious for slow Android updates, like a year later. Also, when it breaks, where are you going to go to get it fixed? If you buy it, please don't come back to this forum with a sad story.
I wouldn't sell my iPhone for an android phone. However if I wanted to do that the one plus 5 wouldn't be the phone I'd get. I like premium phones not cheap knock off phones that claim to be flagship killers but they cut corners and end up being meh.

The funny thing is op5 promotes dual camera as selling point but they cut corner to not have OIS, but the op3 had it. Lol xd.
No you don't, the moto g series proves that... when apple practically brag about their margins how does that equate to you getting a top dollar device for top dollar prices when only a quarter of the bill actually went on making the device.
Nope, because it's too big. It's a nice phone though. I would prefer something the size of the S8 or G6, and will be looking at the iPhone 8.
In the end user experience and usability is what matters to me. Not if Apple has a 75% profit per phone and Moto G has a 25% profit.
People pay higher prices for higher quality items.
Also what it costs for the hardware components that's inside the device doesn't take into account all the software, operating system and R&D done behind it.
Its not just how much the screen, processor, battery and storage chip costs that determine how much the device is worth.
Near one third the price of iPhone, can discard also not as hurt as a broken iPhone which cause more to repair than buy a new op5.
One third the price of an iPhone? In what universe is the OP5 a third of the price of the iPhone?
Lol right? 479 vs 649 for base model or 539 vs 749 for 128gb models. ~25% higher not 300% higher as this poster suggested.
