The OnePlus 3 Thread - - - -(No delivery posts)

deadanonymau5

Evleaks tweeted a picture of what he says is the OnePlus 3. It looks great imo. He says it will have an AMOLED display and 3000mah battery. The headphone jack is on the bottom (finally).

It will probably be announced at the end of July, since the OP2 was announced on July 27th last year.

What do ye think of it? Will you get one?

Looks good. Kind of like a HTC with full metal body.

I don't know if I will get one as I was late getting the OP two while I got the OPO early in its life cycle. Reason I as late getting the OP 2 was I was still very happy with the OPO, but now that I have the two it is a much better phone specifically the camera. It is so much better than the first phone.

Still on the oneplus one currently.

If gsmarena are correct, it will support both bands 3 and 20, which is great for 4G here.

I'd be thinking about retiring my oneplus one in favour of this...

Will be interesting to see the specs once it is launched. Dual sim according to the link above which woukd be handy. Could get rid of the work phone

True, looks exactly like a HTC phone.

What camera app are you using on the OP2? Im not sure its much better.

I think they just copied the OP2 specs for most it

davo2001

Still happy with my OPO tbh

But I'll keep an eye on this thread. I really hope they don't have the same invite system though, that's a total disaster!

The OP2 has dual sim. I think the link above is just a copy of the OP2 specs for the majority of it.

I'm using the stock one that comes with the oxygen 3.0 beta. I find it far better takes pics instantly while OPO used to lag a few mili seconds.

CantGetNoSleep

I'm still using OPO which works great apart from updates periodically killing batter life (like COS13).

Will probably switch but it will need a bit more wow than the OP2. Things like 3000maH battery don't really inspire me into thinking "I need this now" - there is a lot more repeatable Chinese competition bringing out high spec phones than there was when they launched the OPO

sentient_6

The only reason I still have my 2 is because of custom roms, I'm disappointed with Oxygen, but Im also sick of messing around with roms too! So I hope to pick up in the next few months either the HTC 10 or maybe the next Nexus if its HTC built and move back to a fully formed phone again. If i had a spare 700 lying around Id have the 10 already.

Would have liked to see a 5.5 screen on it. oh well.

The specs aren't released yet. Tbh I'd say they will stay with 5.5 as it is a good size not too big and not too small and it has worked for them in the past.

Still have the One myself, battery life seems to be getting worse with each update. Have messed around with the Oneplus X a few times and to be honest I'm not a fan of Oxygen OS at all.

The One has served me well but I'll be going back to a Nexus phone whenever I decide to get rid. Oneplus are so slow with updates.

It isn't the slowness that bothers me - it is that each update has consecutively made the phone a bit worse rather than better

Every update seems to destroy my battery for around a week or so, but then it will get back to normal. Think I'm even starting to see a noticeable improvement over the last few days


Interested in the OP3 but will wait a while to see how it fares, as much as I love my OPO I'm tempted to move away from the brand now. Never had to deal with support myself, but their reputation has gone down the shîtter.

Zombienosh

I've seen so many posts about sh1tty customer care experiences, and so many posts about people with issues where it almost seems like a gamble with oxygen OS. I have a OPX and I think I've been lucky I haven't had any issues. I'm not a big fan of Oxygen OS and updates to fix issues seems slow to come out and when it does it usually breaks something else.

I think if they got rid of oxygen or at least make sure it was solid before release it would be ok, but with the OPX its like they released it while it was still testing to meet timelines and it wasn't near a finished product.

god's toy

In fairness to them when my opo modem sent nuts they were quick to try a software fix and when that didn't work they replaced with a brand new device.

Out if curiosity, how long did it take from the point you reported the issue to you having the new phone in your hands?

Is that much better than the standard Oxygen 2.2.1 camera that came with the phone?? There's much many options n my camera, e.g. I can't change the focus modes like I could on the OPO

The specs on that site aren't confirmed, they just made them up for some reason!

Jesus, I forgot about getting 8hrs screen on time on my OPO, it halved when I upgrade OTA to CM13 I think it was

Maybe two different screen size options looking at the photo?

I've had the OPO, OPT. Dad got a OPO and the girlfriend just got the Ceramic OPX. I think I might go for the OP3

They didn't answer a few of my support tickets. I tried DMing them on Twitter and they replied always the next day. Bizarre.

I had an issue with my headphone jack. It was getting a weird buzz/static noise when I used headphones, which many others seem to get. Their response was that my Apple headphones and other generic headphones weren't compatible with their standard 3.5mm headphone jack :pac: Equally amusing and confusing.

I'm not sure never used oxygen 2.2 I updated straight to 3.0 beta after I got the phone.

Never noticed that. EVleaks didn't mention it though. I think its unlikely.

My OnePlus 2 loves freezing, especially for a phone that can't have its battery removed. And the battery is dropping in performance at an exponential rate.

So, I might give this phone a miss.

Ah. How many hours screen on time are you getting? (out of curiosity)

Are you on the Oxygen 3.0 beta?

ZeitgeistGlee

Wasn't hugely impressed with the OP2 compared to the OPO but given it'll likely be €200 cheaper than even the Nexus competitor I'll probably pick one up with it launches.

So far today I am on 4 and a half hours onscreen time with 30% battery left.

Mostly chrome browser, Facebook for about 40 mins general browsing of Facebook watching a few videos. I watched a very small bit of YouTube. I as also on adverts app for a while. I also have brightness set a small bit above halfway. Still perfect to view screen not dark or not too light.

Thanks. Not sure why my battery life isn't similar to yours. I mainly use twitter, chrome and new apps, maybe a few videos.

I only got my phone a couple of weeks ago, so maybe the battery is still good.

Thinking of going down the contract free phone route, my contract with VF is up in the next 2 months.

My sister got a OPX, and my boss has a OP2. Both seem quite nice, for the brief times I've played with them.

Currently in between phones - had a HTC One which I sold as it was falling apart, then replaced with a Vodafone Smart Ultra 6, which I managed to crack the LCD of in my pocket, so am using a buddy's old Moto G 2014 which I hate (so slow, but at least I can see the whole screen).

What are people's history with dealing with One Plus? They good company to deal with? I assume there's easy root and all that with active ROM devs?

dulpit

Meant to say - I think the styling of phone, if those leaked renders are correct, is quite handsome, OLED is a big plus too. Do we know when it's being announced? Didn't the boss of One Plus say it would be launched by end of Q2?

wotzgoingon

I wonder will this phone be vr ready as was mentioned in Google io.

StereoSound

I was hoping they wouldn't put an amoled screen onto this, every phone I had with an amoled screen got lots of burn in after a short space of time. My gf's galaxy s6 edge got burned into f*ck, it had a screen replacement under warranty and soon afterwards the new screen burned in to. Turns me off Amoled completely.

wotzgoingon

I've had a few amoleds and never got it, well just slightly after a long time with phone. And you don't notice it until you specifically go looking for it by using a full screen white image. I had a galaxy s2, note 2, and a galaxy alpha.

I thought the newer gen amoled screens were suppose to be have more resistance to burn in. My old S4 burned in really badly at the status bar and flipboard burned in to my screen to since I liked to use it. My oneplus 2 has a lovely burn in free screen which I am happy with.

Was about 4 to 6 weeks. First two were them remote connecting to it loading updated software. Then a few for RMA, then send a replacement so I'd say 6 in total.

jonnny68

I would be interested in this but only if they scrap this totally ridiculous invite system which is a farce

wotzgoingon

Hopefully it has quick charge as that would be very handy if you are having a busy day.

At this point, with 3 device launches under their belt I'd agree and rather launch be held back for a few weeks for more stock/QA. Knowing OnePlus however the talk they can generate around a new flagship device will make it impossible for them to pass up the invite system again.

LOL @ some of the replies

davo2001

I swear to f&*king christ if they bring that stupid invite system back again i will not buy the OP3. They are a big enough company now so there should be no need to dispense with that bulls^it.

breeno

That reads to me like he's being facetious and the invite system will be gone this time around.

maximoose

Yeah I get that impression too, if not it's an incredibly dumb tweet
