I think you missed the point. The idea is that if you compare this phone against the S7 Edge and always bring up the $400 argument it never makes sense because someone else can come and say hey the LG G4 is better value because this this and that. And it is would make sense. OP3 fanboys, just like all fanboys, don't like to hear that this phone has an averagr at best display, nothing exyraordinary camera, and a small battery. On top of that it has a simple design. Add all those together and you simply get what you pay for. Other phones are prices higher because you get top of the line hardware. That's it.

P.S when I had the LG G4 I used to get 6H SOT which is almost the same with what I get now, 6.15H SOT. If you want to bring in the money argument, I would say the LG G4 is better phone. If you don't bring in the money argument, I would say the S7 Edge is a better phone. Either or, the OP3 remains a budget device with a lot of corners cut.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] sweez:
I guess we've had wildly different experiences then - I trust that you got 6h sot with your usage pattern so you'll have to believe me that I got 2:45 on two different G4 SoCs (two different series), two different screens and two different batteries - the same usage pattern that nets me 5+ hours on OP3. A friend that owns G4 and now OPX also says that he got a battery upgrade so I'm not an exception - maybe it's down to the signal type we get here? Although we're on different telecoms, so no idea.

Anayway, no point in derailing the thread any further - I'll just say that for me personally G4 isn't even worth 200 bucks (roughly the price I sold mine for), and I feel like I got my money's worth at 400 with op3.

I also don't feel like a Oneplus fanboy if that was aimed at me, the invite system was just stupid, and the op2 seemed like a forgotten stepchild the moment it came out... and I'll believe that the support is less then stellar (hope I don't have to deal with them). After a few weeks though I'm really happy with op3, and I usually get called the princess on a pea :D
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] banjara:
Princess on a pea!!! lol :D:D:good:

maybe thats why the fanBOY part cant be applied to you :silly:

Ah yes this thread is what I am looking for. !!! :laugh::laugh::laugh:
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] HIshan Pavidu:
Ha ha same here g4 battery is worst and cant unlock bootloader lg is worst

Sent from my ONEPLUS3
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheLoverMan:
Some of you talk some bs it's funny. I moved from edge plus and op3 out performed it in every way.

I'm not going to be dragged into this but please stop chatting rubbish about this phone I have no problems that you have posted not one.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] brickedvice:
You must be a rare species ;)
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] terragady:
but that would mean that it is not radio firmware related thing but hardware? Or some of people stating that it is the best phone are paid by OP :D :D :D
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] gman88667733:
Glad you're having no issues!
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] gman88667733:
This was MY experience with the phone. I had a large number of issues and had to send it back. It's great for you that yours is fine, that does not at all mean that every device is flawless. Not that you seem to be able to understand that, clearly.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] gman88667733:
Good! I wanted to give my experience with the phone. Most reviews sugar coat it and lead people into a false sense of security, like a few people on this thread might I add...

I hope you made the right decision!
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] gman88667733:
Although I didn't personally get on with the phone, I don't think it should be completely ignored, for some people it will still be a very good option! The issue was that for me, it just wouldn't work out. I sent my OnePlus 3 back almost a week ago and haven't heard anything from them since.. no refund, no confirmation... what does that tell you? Their customer service sucks.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] gman88667733:
That's interesting to hear! But still, I don't want to have to clear out the data of GPS every few days, it's extra hassle that shouldn't be necessary really.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheLoverMan:
Must just be the very few... Can not fault mine I'm in the UK. Never had this make of phone before but will definitely keeping an eye on them for future phones. Moto z and Nexus out soon maybe they can change my mind.

Lovely phone just can not fault it... Maybe a larger screen.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] gman88667733:
I've gotta agree. If the S7 Edge didn't have the Touchwiz lag that made me get rid of my past note series phones, I'd definitely be getting it. However, it still does lag and I can't deal with that
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] gman88667733:
It means the extra accessories like cases that are bought separately. Not the charger!

Someone may have already replied to this, I haven't checked.

Everything inside the OP3 box can be used and then sent back.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] dwang:
This issue isn't specific to the one plus three. I've had this problem on me Nexus 6p as well.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] gman88667733:
Now you mention it, my 6P had that problem too, Googles play services suck, so it seems
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] malek777:
The s7 edge has no lag specially the exynos variant. That's just false info
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] gman88667733:
You can't really say that can you. I know 3 people that own the s7 edge and all 3 of them said it has significant stuttering and lagginess after owning it for a few months.

It should be an expectation of Samsung to have laggy phones by now... Yes it is better than previous galaxy phones, but compared to stock android, it lags. ( I have seen it with my own eyes)

I'm not hating on the phone, I love everything else about it and if a good AOSP rom is released for it, I would get it definitely.

On a side note, I guess it can depend on how much stuff you have on your phone. Hense a brand new phone is always a lot smoother and snappier than a 6 month old phone. Either way, I'd love an S7 edge, but I can't deal with Touchwiz
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] terragady:
after your posts it makes me wanna wait for new nexus phones :D
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] malek777:
Let's just agree to disagree. I've had my s7 edge for 5 months and i don't have any lag. My wife's s7 doesn't have any lag. So it is what it is I guess.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] jorgis1:
I own both the Nexus 6p and OP3. I bought the OP3 from some guy off craigslist for $250 and it is in BRAND NEW condition. The guy said he bought it just to test it. (Uses an Iphone). Between this and the 6p I only have to say what others have mentioned. The OP3 looks and feels more premium. I have no problems with lower res screen as I feel the cool colors on the display are a lot better than the warm display on the 6p. What I do like on the 6p is the unique design and how it stands out to people. But getting the OP3 for 250 I feel that it was worth my purchase. lol
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] terragady:
couldn't he just give it back for same money? weird. So how do you compare actually wifi and network reception/range? Camera?
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] jorgis1:
Guess you're asking me??? I think he went past his return date. Anyway... I think wi-fi is better on 6p by a bit. Network reception is actually better for me. Not a camera guy so but on my view they look pretty equal in daylight and nexus takes night shots better.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] terragady:
yeah i just ordered it and will see :) I am aware that night pics are average or even worse than avg....
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] gman88667733:
I strongly recommend waiting!!
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] gman88667733:
Sure. I am glad that you've had no issues, that somewhat makes me a bit more confident about it..! I hope that you continue to have no lag!!
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] gman88667733:
At first I just went on data loading speeds and the OP3 performed worse than any phone I own or have owned in the past... I tried speed test apps also and it was under half that of my other devices. The camera is more subjective to be fair, I may not like a photo that you actually like. But the 6P camera produced probably 50% more detail and just generally looks better (to my eye!)

If it arrives and you hate it, send it back, don't overthink it, it may be cheaper than others, but it is cheaper for a reason!
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] gman88667733:
For $250, even with it's big flaws, that is still a good deal I have to say!
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] terragady:
well I already order but it is still processing but I will keep my order I think, I will test it for 15 days and if there will be problems I will return it. Nexus phones will probably cost much more than OP3 especially in Europe where only 5x is cheaper now but 6p keeps its price.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Pimpataria:
I question:

- My OP3 scored 140882 on Antutu, ranking #1 on the leaderboard. Hard to believe you got slow/freezing apps. I haven't gotten any so far and I multitask apps often, all I can say is the 6gb of ram works wonders

- Display is great. I understand the crispness issue you're trying to point out as I've owned several "Oh the text is so on-point" phones myself. But at the end of the day, you're just nitpicking

- Speakers can be tweaked with rooted software (Dolby Atmos & Viper4Android FX) I use my phone to watch movies/tv heavily so I can vouch for this

- Fingerprint scanner 75%?! Are you kidding me, I get a literal 100% and only added once for each finger. It's so fast and accurate that I just play with it to show off

I agree:

- Volume rocker & Power button do indeed wobble more than I'd like. Probably gonna suck in the long run

- Camera is sub-par. Quality is simply cringey unless you have really good lighting

- Wi-Fi/Cellular connection does seem a bit unstable, but I've used worse so it is by no means terrible to me

I bought the OP3 simply for the insane bang for buck. The aforementioned gripes don't seem justified enough for me not to buy the phone. You seem to have a bad set with the crashing apps & malfunctioning scanner, might want to consider sending it back for a new set.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] gman88667733:
Antutu scores mean almost nothing in my opinion. Samsung phones always score high, yet they lag. The 6P scores fairly low and performs identically to the OP3. The display is a subjective matter, but IMO, it sucks. I'm not nitpicking with it, the colours are way off and to my eye, it just looks a bit bad.

Once again, this is MY usage and my opinion, I'm very glad that you have had less issues than I have, but I had issues and so I sent the phone back. Everyone deserves to see both sides to the story!
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Pimpataria:
Has to do with the OS optimization too. 6P is known for efficient use of the processor which grants it's fluid user experience. Display is definitely not a strong point if you come from a phone with better color reproduction or higher pixel density. Having owned the Note 1-4 I can say that Samsung's OS is genuine garbage - I get what you're trying to say about lag.

Mostly trying to point out that some issues you had were highly likely manufacture defects. Everyone has different preferences for phones and I've had flagship phones disappoint me too in their own ways. Personally I stuck with iP6+/6 for 2 years after using the Notes so the OP3's tech is very refreshing to me.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] thanhnvt194:
I sold 6P to buy this, there's my opinions :

and there's some points that i can't ,

- Hard to believe you got slow/freezing apps. I haven't gotten any so far and I multitask apps often, all I can say is the 6gb of ram works wonders

- Display is average., abit better than 6P for me, cus i really don't like amoled with neon-colors, first thing i do with those display is install custom kernel ti tune the color to be more accurate, and the white more " white" , can't under stand why people like yellowish amoled screen, for me, no.

- Speakers is ok, but i miss 6p dual speakers

- Fingerprint scanner 75%?! Are you kidding me, I get 100% .

I agree:

- Camera is accpetable. Quality is simply like my previous s6 and bette than xiaomi mi5( have same sensor) , dont expect " amazing camera " in a OP device,

- Wi-Fi/Cellular connection does seem a bit unstable

I 'm happy with OP3 right now, if you facing lots of hardware bugs, like FP scanner, try reset, if they are still here, you should ask for a replacement one.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] gman88667733:
I agree, what one person likes, another may dislike. It sucks that I had issues with it, but I have had so many phones that have had issues and I am a bit tired of constantly getting replacements and never having a stable phone that I always use. I am in the situation now where I need to decide what phone to get since I returned my OP3... The new iPhone seems like a sensible option, but with no headphone jack, I'm not sure I'm ready for the switch yet. So either the new Nexus, or the 6s I expect, unless the 7 is something special
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] jorgis1:
Everyone's opinions count. And everyone has a choice when buying Android phones. That is one of the reasons I like Android. I would say comparing the 6p to the Oneplus 3 would be like comparing an Iphone 6s to an Iphone SE. Price does make a difference and even though the 6p is a year old it has kept it's price pretty well. That being said I love both phones and I do not feel as if using the OP3 is lowering my user experience with regards to display, call quality, data connections, and camera. I had a gps issue with the op3 today that I never had with the 6p, and I am not upset for having had this issue. Like other said, for the price, corners were cut, but issues like these can also be fixed with software updates that I hope Oneplus keeps working hard on. I'd say for anyone wanting to buy the phone (OP3) go ahead. Unless you know you want to pay more when the next Nexus comes out.

Peace!

Talking about good deals...I just got a S7 Edge from some kid on ebay for 250

That's a DAMN good deal.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Proioxix:
It would seem [MENTION=4929655]gman88667733[/MENTION] has something of a hatred for the OP3. First your title is very click bait. Seriously you keep talking about it like this phone has every flaw ever known. Go to the forums of any new smartphone and you're going to find threads about problems people have run into. Majority of people probably don't run into these issues but the few that do tend to be very loud about it (like you). I've owned the 6P for 6 months and it was above average at best for a Nexus device. As soon as someone mentioned that the lag wasn't exclusive to the OP3 and the cause was Google Play Services you're like "oh yeah my 6P had it too" except you never mention this in your so called review.

Seems to me like you're one of those people who must always have something to complain about. You're looking for the "perfect" smartphone and that doesn't exist. A lot of people who are more qualified than you, with the right set of tools have reviewed this phone and will tell you a different story. Your phone must have been special because yours seems to have A LOT of issues. Whereas a few will encounter 1 or two small issues. Some of which have already been fixed by OP. It's simply a matter of time before they fix the others.

Some of the issues you encountered has already been covered in many online written and video reviews. Research before you buy a device so you know what you're getting. I ordered mine yesterday after getting rid of my Nexus 6P. I know it's a 1080p display and in terms of colour accuracy the default AMOLED is terrible so I'll be using SRGB mode which Anadtech found to be a lot better. From all the other posts and reviews I've read/seen I expect around 4-5 hours screen on time. Majority of reviews have said the bottom facing speaker is decent. There's even an in-depth camera review by PocketNow and many photo comparisons with other flagships and the OP3 seems to hold it's own well in most situations but it falls a bit short in low light scenes.

The fingerprint sensor works really well from what I've read and it's incredibly fast and very accurate. I know the OP3 has been plagued by RAM management/dual sim and other issues. Some of thee have already been addressed by OP. These findings are what I'll compare mine to when I receive it next week.

No smartphone is flawless, the trick is to find the smartphone with flaws you can accept and get on with it.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] gman88667733:
No way?! That is crazy!! Nice purchase!
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] gman88667733:
Look, I've not actually read anything past your first paragraph because it's probably just going to make me chuckle.

I am reporting every issue I had with the phone so that others are aware of the possible issues before buying. Never once did I say I hated it, heck, I even said I liked the damn thing.

I'm not trying to tell everyone to not buy it, I want people to fully understand what they could be getting into, that's all.

I'm sure it does come across that I hate it, but I don't. I'm not exactly going to recommend it and sing it's praises after having so many issues with MY device, plus I haven't received a refund yet after a week.

IMO, Oneplus is a budget brand for a reason. The key part of that is it is my own opinion, which I am putting out there for average users to see. If you love it, then great, I am more than glad that you're having no issues, I really am. But I did have issues, so it is only fair to everyone else that I report that to them, agreed?

(May I add that I said it is worth getting for the 15 days to test out any of these issues......)

Edit: just read the last paragraph you've put and that is EXACTLY what I've done, I've had a phone I can't put up with, so I got rid of it and am explaining why. Here's hoping the next phone is better ay.

Best of luck to you with your OP3
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] brickedvice:
I have been playing with the Nexus 6P the last couple of days and yes it does feel smoother actually. I am sure that the team behind Oxygen OS has twealed the kernel in such a way that it can save as much juice as possible. They don't have other choice though. If the battery wasn't this small then the phone could have handled a 2k screen and more fluid animations.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Chinmaya@007:
Well if screen brightness or colour is the issue, then I must admit... OP3 doesn't have the colours fixed properly. It seems a bit strange. I use mobile for my studies. A heavy user. I read, and do a lot of things related where the colour accuracy should be right.

I agree with the Nexus 6P guy, there's some issue. I was previously using Sony Xperia Z Ultra before this for 2 yrs and before that Nexus 5 and Nexus 4. I loved Nexus 4 though. Xperia Z Ultra had the awesome colour reproduction. It had perfect blacks and it was good. I only hope OP developers do come up with some solution. The black screen on OP3 sometimes gets greenish. :rolleyes:

But all in all I like this phone very much, as much as my Xperia Z Ultra.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Proioxix:
Received my OP3 a few days ago. Coming from a Nexus 6P, this phone feels so much better to hold. The subtle curves around it and curved glass just feels fantastic. Performance is also quite a bit better. On my 6P I had apps that lagged and would crash often (Periscope for example), not so on my OP3.

It runs really well and only got a little warm when I was streaming Modern Combat with YouTube Gaming. Display is good not great and definitely can say my 6P's display was quite a bit better but that's something I can live with.

Yet to run into any issues so far.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] ahrion:
Idk how I feel about your wall of text. I mean I've always owned Samsung or HTC devices and this is by far the best option between every non Nexus device (never owned a nexus).

All the issues you have I don't have. As with many of us.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] GeneralDisaray2:
cool story bro
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] denoide1:
Good phone

I worry about some distortion on the camera

I hope there isnt an hardware problem
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tzagor:
Am I the only here who simply loves the phone itself? The one I bought is flawless, fantastic camera (only if you know how to use the manuale mode), excellent reception (I don't use 4G, here in Italy the speed is quite the same, but in 4G the phone get warm more often when in poket), the quild quality and the overall happiness with this device is so high
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Androsid:
Almost 2 months since I purchased this beauty and I'm absolutely loving this phone.. Never had any issues with major lag or Force closes with any apps.. Since the last update to 3.2.2 never felt the need to restart the device too.. [emoji2]

Proof -
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Souldrifter:
I've had my OnePlus 3 for about a month, and I'm trying to figure out what phone you're talking about. Because mine behaves almost completely differently.

Thanks Dr. Gman. I'll get right on that while you get on figuring out how to get your point across without poor attempts to insult other people.

I've never seen this on mine... or the wobbly button issue. Mine is still butter smooth like the day I first got it and the buttons are solid.

I thought you might have something here, but I just tried it... I turned it every possible which way on a white screen. No color shifting at all. Also, you know the color temp is adjustable, right?

Nah. You just have to make sure to scan different parts of your digits so you don't have to hit it exactly the same way every time. 100% success rate with mine, and it's my primary locking mechanism.

Yeah, gotta hand you this one. A single speaker is never going to approach the awesomeness of my HTC One M7 dual front facing speakers. Those were awesome, and everything else pales. But, it's sufficient for ringtones and notifications and phone calls.

I'm a photography buff. Have been for decades. I just took some low light photos and they look decent to me. Nothing like an iPhone 6, of course. But, not as crappy as you're implying. In fact, I TRIED to make them fuzzy and noisy and I had to go near dark without flash to do that. Then again, when you had to go through the purple tint issue with an M7, you realize just how good newer phone cameras are... for phone cameras. REAL camera fanatics will have... CAMERAS... and won't rely on phones to do really delicate work.

What's your general geographic location, out of curiosity? 4G stinks at home for me due to my location (all carriers do... I'm in a slight depression on top of a mesa that's in a valley... it's kind of ridic) but my WiFi just gave me 34.71 Mbps down and 12.42 Mbps up. I'm curious about 4G performance, however, so I'll try it at work tomorrow which is where I test all my phones for 4G speed. I expect at LEAST the same as WiFi, and likely better.

You got a bad unit, it sounds like. It's a total bummer that you did, but it happens, even with Apples. The phone doesn't suck just because your particular one did. I understand the frustration, but be realistic.

Update: tested the 4G from work. Not as good as I hoped, but sufficient. 20.35 Mbps down, 16.91 Mbps up. Second test was 25.81 Mbps down, 12.74 Mbps up. I'm on T-Mobile.
