Phones OnePlus Three ( 2016 )

[spriter]

I know two people who got it this year, and they absolutely love it. Especially for the price.

For me, camera is too important and I know will generally plump for whoever has the best camera alongside generally being a good phone. So Samsung it is.

But the OP3 is a great phone, they've come a long way in 2 years and are a genuine alternative. Good news for the marketplace.

Agree with this. I had one and the only, but crucial area that pushed me to sell it, was the camera.

It's decent enough but that's below what I need. When I used it for my son's sports day at school, alongside an S6, the OP3 struggled for detail and looked washed out with too many blown highlights. When you've got time to set up the shot it's better but fast-moving kids and a one-time opportunity were too much for it.

Again, aside from that, I really liked it and would (and have) recommended it with the camera in mind.

It's the whole "having kids" thing - so many of the lesser cameras are great in the right conditions, but basically miss kids doing their cute stuff a bit too often.

That's where Samsung and Apple have the market cornered, in my opinion.

Just got an S7 for my wife and the camera is (somehow) a real step-up from the S6!

agree wholeheartedly! That's why I couldn't keep my Nexus 6p as a daily driver. Camera app too slow capturing a barely moving 6 month old. Now that she's almost walking, it wouldn't even come close to keeping up. My S6 and 6s (now 7+) were super quick to snap pics and turned out great 95% of the time.

I still think it's the best performance for the buck phone outthere. If they can add a micro sd slot and a better camera next year, the big dogs will have a hardtime justifying an almost 1.000 $ pricetag.

I was about to buy one today second hand to upgrade from my S6, but like some of you guys just said, the camera on the S6 is just way better and faster. It's really hard finding another camera this good.

My second hand S7 Edge is arriving today. Can't wait.

Who did you order it from ? Amazon here are also selling it directly themselves now, and given their easier returns policy if anything went wrong, I would order from them rather than OnePlus myself.

UK mate, aren't you as well?

Ordered from OnePlus as O2 ****ed up my order

I'm in Ireland. But yeah Amazon UK now have oneplus as a marketplace seller now, though the prices has risen stupidly since sterling price changes.

Has it been a long time since you placed your order ?

This one is still on my radar. It took me awhile to get the OnePlus X, pulled the trigger when BB had it for $200 and it being an easier return because they are right down the road. I much prefer that than dealing with mail order.

And I don't use the camera much anyway.

No under a week, just thought it might be quicker based on previous OnePlus ordering. I have no right to complain

Ordered a Pixel too

I can't see any Amazon fulfilled mate?

Yeah it seems to have gone, it was most definitely there as they made a big announcement on the OP forum about Amazon now becoming an official reseller

 

[GigabitEthernet]

Could you link me to said announcement please mate?

These were the announcements earlier in the year but seems they limited it to OP2 initially, and looking at Amazon now it seems even that's not available so clearly they must have parted ways.

Guess I am hopping on the OP3 train as well. I figured that it will be probably 5-6 months or more before anything better comes along and even then it might be questionable (mainly interested in S8 and possibly the rumored foldable Samsung) so I got a used OP3 to tide me over.

Sadly the foldable Samsung phones have been delayed because the technology isn't ready for primetime. I think the S8 will and must be an absolute beast of a phone. But right now I believe you will be very happy with the OPO 3 in Austria there are now waittimes for this thing, seems to be selling really well.

My understanding was that the foldable phones were delayed to 2017, probably around this time next year at the earliest. Unless some new info has come out recently?

I currently have a Oneplus One and should get my OP3 tomorrow if the post office doesn't **** me over again. It's not a big upgrade but I hope it will be just that little bit easier to handle one-handed.

 

[Frankied22]

Mine will finally be here Monday. I'm looking forward to playing around with it.

For once post office delivered on time. The OP3 is indeed essentially just a little bit better than the OPO. A bit smoother, a bit easier to handle. Fingerprint reader is a nice plus and camera is probably miles better.

I'm planning on installing sultanxda's ROM soon on the OP3 as well as I miss a few options from CM13.

I'm having a reoccurring issue with spotify on my OP3. Sometimes when I use spotify the music control doesn't show up in the notification panel. I'd anyone else getting this?
