I think you will enjoy the phone. If you don't like the Oxygen OS.....try the CM13 rom over at XDA. It is awesome on the OPO3......extremely smooth.Yes it is, i ordered it yesterday and it's already shipped today.
I must see by myself how good it is

I like Stock Android, but i think it's to restricted when you don't root it.
So i think oxygen OS is the perfect Solution, you can nearly change everything how you like it, but you still have the Stock Android look.
I have read it several times in Oneplus forums, they think so because Anandtech has more or less proven the update, but at the end of the day it's only a guesstimate

Well the white version isn't out till end of the month, so hopefully it ships after or with that patches release.
Yeah, I'm guessing it might be a few weeks before that hits retail buyers. It's gonna take almost two weeks to deliver so hopefully shouldn't be too long to wait.
After looking for a 'second hand' one, I've had no luck. Sellers are actually going for £20-50 more than retail. And Brexit is almost guaranteed to bump prices up a bit.
I'm a bit bored of iOS... Even the 10 beta. No luck finding an M10 and the Note 7's curved edges put me off. It's looking like the OP3 or Nexus for my Android fix this year.
Don't get me started on that disaster of a result
that vote result is going to cost me €1250 to sort out my passport/s for the benefit of the future now .. Hey ho .....

U buy in USA store? I see that will ship in 5 business day did same the same to u?Yes it is, i ordered it yesterday and it's already shipped today.

I ordered it in Germany. Here in Germany are also 5 Business days on their Website.
The OP3 sounds enticing indeed. I'm bored of carrying two phones with me everywhere, so a good flagship grade dual-SIM with a good camera would be just the ticket for me. The only reasons I'm yet to pull the trigger are the lack of both waterproofing and waterproof cases (yes, I'm spoiled by the Lifeproof case for my iPhone 6s) and that I enjoy the Apple Watch more than Android Wear in its current form. If only the Apple Watch were cross-platform like Android Wear is nowadays (definitely not holding my breath for this).
The op3 is such a good phone but it was a Bad decision to Use a 1080p amoled panel in a 5.5 inch phone. The iPhone 6 Display looks sharper when you read Websites and apps like Facebook or Twitter. This is Not a flagship Display.
I quote the Analysis from anandtech because i can confirm this sadly
"Before covering display accuracy, I want to comment on OnePlus's use of a 1080p AMOLED panel. According to comments made by OnePlus, a 1080p display was chosen as it provides superior battery life, and because resolutions above 1080p are not useful outside of VR. I have to respectfully disagree with both points, especially because this is a PenTile AMOLED display. It has been well demonstrated that good battery life is achievable not just with 1440p AMOLED smartphones, but with 1440p LCD smartphones. While I do feel 1080p is a good resolution to choose for a 5.5" RGB LCD panel, it is simply not adequate for a PenTile AMOLED display.
When you consider the effective resolution of red and blue on the OnePlus 3, you're really dealing with a display that is roughly equivalent to the iPhone 6s in chroma resolution, except on a 5.5" display instead of a 4.7" one."

They completely ruined it by putting an AMOLED Pentile. IPS would have been perfect.
Compared to nearly all amoled displays. Even the last Samsung 1080p display in the s4 and s5 had a better ppi because they had only a 5 inch display. If oneplus has to save money they should have used the 2 years old note 4 display, even this is better.
ppi? Really? U can see difference between fhd and qhd? Well hello superman
All jokes aside, qhd is only useful if you are in VR ship. Otherwise it's just a gimmick for marketing purposes.
Ahhh a ppi fetishist....
It's like Megapixels in cameras and MHz in desktop PCs, more is ALWAYS better.

Some folks really notice a difference especially in AMOLED Pentile displays and how the sub pixels are lit.
Erica Griffin the reviewer is particularly critical of Pentile displays herself.
For me the sharpness wouldn't be as much of an issue but often the cheaper AMOLED panels are really problematic with outdoor daylight viewing.
Yea, I've read all about Pentile and OP3. And I hate amoled screens anyway. But S5 didn't have a Pentile screen, right? And if anyone can see pixels on that screen, then that guys deserves to be called superman.
There are lousy, good, and excellent screens. But qhd doesn't make a screen good. IMHO, quite the opposite. More battery usage for a thing no one can actually see is a bad choice. VR is a different beast, but how many people do use VR? 0.1%? Or less?
Oh my God it's pentile and because of this it has a third less pixel than full HD. You don't have a clue...ppi? Really? U can see difference between fhd and qhd? Well hello superman
