[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] C3C076:
The thing is, that the hype they created around camera should have made OnePlus aware that users were going to have high expectations. But they somehow ignored this fact and this is just another sign that this company still hasn't matured and learnt enough from its past.

Maybe it is true camera is going to improve with the future software updates over time but that doesn't change anything about the fact they totally screwed up the whole marketing campaign. You know, when I am building something and advertising a feature using it as a key marketing point and creating massive hype around it, I better make sure the initial release of the software that the final product ships with is top notch in that area, otherwise I am risking a reputation which is hard to build in today's world. Looks like OP5 launch was rushed at least in software department. I even have a feeling that the true early drop goal was to get together a bunch of guinea pigs to help them to at least iron out couple of severe issues before the official launch. Two OTAs within a short period of time speaks for itself. But maybe it's just my feeling.

Anyway, in the end, OP5 still seems to be a solid device for its price but as a happy owner of OP3T I am skipping it and will wait for what they can come up with next year, hoping that another lesson they learnt from this edgy OP5 launch will bring some positive changes.

I want to go feel a few others as I'm not convinced the build quality on mine is correct. It feels like the display is too sunk in to the frame and is causing a rough/sharp lip (not the screen protector) I don't know if they are all like this or just mine though, but it's not a seamless join between screen and frame.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] slakosd:
I have canceled my order by camera reasons. Like everybody.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] roba93:
Just post if your returning the device .. people posting complete reviews of the phone together with 50 alternatives lol. If you don't like the phone don't buy it and stop hate posting about how bad it is ;)
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] slakosd:
I have really cancel the order but y don't see any change at the oneplus website, it's still in processing and I have not received any confirmation email :rolleyes:
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] roba93:
If you ordered the phone and it is in the *processing* stage you cannot cancel it, it's allready being processed at the warehouse.

In order to cancel the product just decline the package once DHL offers the package, then the phone will be sent back to OP.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] wuj15:
Great feedback, exactly how I feel with this purchase. So did u end up returning it?

[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] roba93:
you can try to contact the live chat agent and ask them, but u think the order is past already, but you can just give it a try just to be sure.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] dj_chapz:
So people will return the phone because of the design as if they havent seen it, or because of camera quality which pretty much depends on software that can easily be updated.

OnePlus is from my perspective a developer phone. A Nexus. Why would you go with OP because of cameras when you have Samsung and others that have already proven quality? If its because of the price, why do you expect the same quality from a 300€ cheaper phone?

People need to start thinking and stop putting blame on OP for everything. They can market whatever new feature they want, the only thing that they have proven to date is excellent performance and developer friendliness. Everything other should be taken wit a grain of salt.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] tbaran:
I'm testing the phone for 2 days now. Stepping up from my old HTC One M8, I really have little complaints about the camera. But I'm not a prosumer :)

I understand, that most frustration comes from the fact, that the expectations out there were bigger and it was supposed to be a flagship killer. Well, if it's not, it's pretty darn good for what it does. If I really want to take quality shots for printing, I grab my Nikon or Canon DSLRs. Who uses a phone for high quality shots with that little lens anyway? :)
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] LeKeiser:
[MENTION=7780857]cheesechocolate[/MENTION] : great feedback :)

Hope you'll keep it. The O+5 is like a flower. It will grow beautiful, given time :)
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] badboy47:
You know whats more stupid? For someone who cannot comprehend other opinions. The title of this thread is "Who is returning their OnePlus 5?" Many users like me were on the verge of getting OnePlus 5.

If its really bothering you simply ignore this thread rather than telling people not to post.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] droidrev71:
Part of the design is how it feels in hand. You really don't know until the phone hits your hand if you'll like the design.. Pictures can only tell you so much about the design.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] LeKeiser:
Because you're showing an opinion? Arf...

If you were on the "verge of getting a O+5" that means you didn't order it. So what are you returning? Why are you here? Why didn't you just read the forum and make up your mind? Why didn't you start a thread something like "Why I won't get the O+5"?

I just don't like threads that go nowhere is all.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] here is johnny:
Spot on!

Used to have Samsung phones like the Galaxy S1, Note 3, 4, S6 edge+ , great phones, but software wise.. always rooted those bastards and played with custom roms.. but never felt the real android experience.. Then I sold the S6 edge+ , got me a provided by work Moto G5 plus.. I felt the android experience, fast snappy, no bloatware, lovely phone.. but hardware wise not the best phone. Considered to get back to samsung.. designwise the s8 and s8+ got me almost to purchase them. But decided to wait. Got my 5 last friday, and absolutely love this thing, software, hardware, snappy, fast, responsive.. and lots of fast storage memory.

Yes designwise S8 and some other phones are better. Yes also the camera's. Don't use the camera's a lot and I always use a case so design gets killed on a s8. For 560 euro I will give this phone a try.. Maybe next year with the 6 the minor flaws will be gone who knows..

Ohh and just got 4.5.3 update btw.. last time i remembered Samsung updates didn't came with suchs speeds..

What was the defect?
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] badboy47:
Why are you here if you dont like threads that go nowhere at all? As I mentioned in my early posts; I received the phone and I am in the process of returning it. Yes I am sharing my opinion and just because you don't like it doesn't mean I shouldn't be here. If its really bothering you simply ignore me. Go outside and get some fresh air. Learn to breath my friend.

---------- Post added at 02:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:09 PM ----------

nope not defective. Coming from OnePlus 3; I just didnt see the 5 a big upgrade.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Hastaloego:
good thing that im not everybody...

only ready for QHD is either you use a lot of VR, which i dont, since i need pretty strong glasses :( or you blind and have to keep the phone on nose touch distance, which i would, but then there are my pretty strong glasses :D so im happy with a 1080p. and what for 4k battery ? the 1080p doesnt need as much power as a QHD :p and i like a slim phone, even while using an additional case.

working with phones, you should know why lot of phones have no additonal sdcard slot. they could cause a lot of trouble..

for once, you need a very highend sd or you put your self a bottleneck into your phones performance, also they can cause data lost or trouble if you decide to move apps onto the external sdcard.. and guess who is going to take the blame for that ? right the phone manufacturer and their hotline. and since most stuff is in the cloud anyway nowayday, tell me what you need additional xxx gb storage for ?

what he said, stuff like GPS is way more essential than good pictures.. "damn im lost, no way im going to find home, but at least i can take some good pictures of my misery"

and senstor in the back.. i had that once, almost broke my finger not to touch it every time i was holding the phone.

that DND stuff is pure software.. every custom rom will have that anyway.

exactly

well then why did you but it at all ? i just hope i wont get one of those phones you all are returning for no reason.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] cheesechocolate:
by the way guys, Oxygen OS 4.5.3 is out.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] djsubterrain:
It's not even a week old, you couldn't have waited for a software fix to be issued ? (There's been 3 released already).
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] LeKeiser:
So you're on the verge of getting an O+5 (that's what you said) and now you have one but doesn't like it so you're on the verge of returning it... Pardon me, but make up your mind. Either you have it and you don't like it for whatever reason, or you don't and then you don't have to return it :)

It's not that I don't like your opinion, but don't you think that starting a thread like that, Who's returning their O+5, on a forum talking about the O+5, don't you think it's useless and it's more like a flame thread only? Nothing constructive can come out of it... "I got it but I'm not happy so I'm returning it!" What's the point? What good does it bring? You don't like the phone, don't buy it, period. I don't like the S8, I've checked the S8 forums, made up my mind, and got the O+5.

I like constructive threads. Threads that aim to either explain what's good or what's bad with a product, or more important, threads that bring solutions to problems.

Threads that say "This phone looks more like my feet I don't like it!", well...

I've got asthma, I know how to breath :)
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] badboy47:
Its amazing you keep coming back to this thread. Here is the thing; this thread is about "Who is returing their OnePlus 5" and for some reason you guys feel offended when someone share their opinion of why they are returning their phone. If you like the phone; good for you go enjoy flashing roms. OnePlus phones are very developer friendly. If you are having an issue with threads like these; go report it to the mods. Like I said earlier; if you like "constructive threads" stop wasting your time here!!! Simply ignoring is a perfect solution rather then telling people not to post here.

This is exactly what I am talking about! This thread is about "Who is returning their OnePlus 5". If you love your phone; good for you; go enjoy it and stop asking dumb questions like why did you buy it.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] paulyz:
Oneplus 5 is for young peoples (students and etc), who need fast cheap phone with latest hardware, who do 80% photos outside and don't care about photos quality (who cares photo quality when all in photo drunk). But when you older, have kids, 50% photos inside and 50% outside, a lot of kids photo (always on move) you need better camera, so better do not chose oneplus 5
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] badboy47:
I love to know where you came up with those numbers (source)? Hopefully those are not facts just an opinion.

I was going to say - That is one of the most grossly inaccurate assumptive generalizations I've seen all week. But, the week is young... we'll see what other illogical gibberish the internet can produce. I'm sure this thread alone will produce many more such gems.

You don't find anything abnormal in the fact that someone doesnt want an item, and goes to buy it just to return it? :confused:

I have so many questions to that person I wouldn't know where to start....
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] LeKeiser:
it's amazing you keep coming back to this thread... You really don't get anything I've posted, right?

I'm not offended at all that you want to either not order the phone or return it (I still didn't get if you don't want it or if you don't want it...) This thread is so usuless is all. "I got the phone and I don't want it. Who's with me?" Yeah, right... Very very constructive and useful.

But seems you think it is, and you cannot live without such a thread. The question must be really really important...

Yet, you go my way. So it's strange you're still here.

Oh, I don't enjoy flashing roms. You know what? I have a O+ first of its kind. Still running fine. But still using Cyanogen. No more updates. But I don't care.

I'm not a big fan of testing different firmware or OS. I bought the O+ and now the 0+5 because they are great phones as they come and keep on getting better over time.

Last, I'm not going to report this thread to the mods. But knock yourself out if that's your fun :)

when it's a perfect valid question... Why did you buy it anyway?

I rest my case. As I said earlier; your issue is with this thread. Enjoy your constructive and useful threads. I feel like I am talking to a brick wall.

---------- Post added at 04:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:29 PM ----------

Yes the fact is I bought the phone and now I am returning it. We all get fooled and make mistakes. The reason I came into this thread because the title was "Who is returning their OnePlus 5" and I shared my opinion. However, for some reason some feel offended who has this phone :confused:. If its working for you; good for you :good:.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] LeKeiser:
Funny, I thought I was talking to a wall as well.

Oh well. Enjoy your freedom of... whatever.

As for me, I'm keeping my O+5 cuz I knew what I was getting, I'm not that dumb :)
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] yetiweston:
Camera is pretty average, sold my S8+ to get this. Got my eye on a dual sim s8+ on eBay as need the dual sim functionality very much as hate carrying my work phone everywhere with me as well.

Camera aside, the device is incredibly quick and build quality and feel in the hand is great. Might give them another few weeks and see what software updates bring to camera performance before making a decision
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] nadejo:
Why so Offensive?

For some reason there are issues with this device. Which were not told in the live show or on YouTube Reviews.

Im affected aswell. From the screen wobble Effect to the Touchscreen sometimes missresponding while scrolling. And asking people if it's a dealbraker for them is just a good thing. Be happy that somehow you're device is in best condition. Some of us might have received faulty devices. You're just being selfish thinking there should be no complaints regarding this phone from other people Just because your phone is working fine. Please be polite and stop spamming this thread with your B***h fight.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] LeKeiser:
I'm not offensive at all, I just reply with the same level that I've been replied to... so if you find me offensive, then BadBoy is as well...

You also don't get it that this post is useless? You have a wobble effect, that's too bad. Feel sorry for you, really.

But what's the point of posting here, "I'm returning my phone". Who cares? Wanna see how many are? Will that change your mind? Will you keep the phone if not so many are returning it?

I'm polite but seems you are not... "B***h fight"? Go wash your fingers now.

And be polite in your next reply.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] nadejo:
I care. It's relative to the user. People share thair experience, you know? You cannot judge people like that. But I will not go further here with someone who cannot bringup the empathy to understand why people share thair Anger (because they feel fooled) and reactions (in this case returning thair devices) .

The Stage is yours, Feel free to respond, I won't

[MENTION=6031703]Hastaloego[/MENTION]

this is my opinion not as an seller ..but as an power end user and compare whit my current flagship

:huawei p10 +($630,6gbram,128gbinternal)

- vr ..one plus lag support and doest have the display quality to enrich it ...my nieces ,nephews love it and i love to see them have fun

-sdcard the weekend before this i reach 80gb on recording 2k video and pic on a prom ...so have to take the sd card to transfer those gb to my rig and let it ...while i go to work (busy man)

- water resistant ...protect ur investment ...i study culinary arts and work as cook and play alot whit water and liquids

-display letancy not sure if it can be fix whit an outdated 2007 super amoled panel (notice it on our test unit since i have an partime as repair/sell shop if u rise window/animation/duration will be worse noticeable)

as for the design it nice but iphone look way better ...hey but my p10 plus look aswell like an i phone but atleast i could defend my self since huawei did that design lenguage first...

not sure where oneplus is heading they rise the price i dont belive they did for cuz part cost but for pay reviewers and celebritys to sponsor their product to an point where even cheat on benchmark aswell given reviews units utilizing performance governor on cpu/gpu so they could trash the competition and claim an belt that xiaomi mi 6 and htc currently hold for fastest android phones

once this sponsorship ends and they drop their price (most probably when iPhone / and pixel launch ) then i tell my boss to put it on his stock for sale cuz this phone easily can drop to $400.. sadly 3t is discontinued ...

conclusion: the phone is good but lag of inovation and features for the price aswell is not near to be as good as my currently flagship... p10 plus out perform the one plus i in every department(performance,design,features,cam and software) exept one developer support is deficult to build asop rom for kirin soc cuz the lag of drive/software and most time missing source still is possible but take time
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] alukarulz:
I didn't add an option for people who are keeping it because this thread is not for them. I just wanted to know why they are returning it.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] TechBSwift:
As someone who has an iPhone 7, s8+, s8, and op5 I can clearly say the op5 serves a purpose. It a decent phone for $500, however if anyone on my channel asked me the best buy right now it would be the s8. The s8 packs more features for roughly the same price if you trade in an old phone. Also in the U.S. Several carriers offer bogo right now on the s8 and s8+. Although the op5 has some short comings, without companies like this undercutting the big cell phone providers. We will be paying $1000+ for all future phones. Some times you don't realize the love or hate for a phone until its in your hand. Good luck and don't feel bad for sending the phone back or keeping it. Just make yourself happy in the end
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Cave_diver:
There is no mentioning of a restocking fee on the German OnePlus page.

They even pay for the return shipping and I highly doubt they will charge a fee unless the phone has been damaged.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Hastaloego:
maybe this thread should be more about "who bought that phone only to return and ***** about it ?"
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] llegioner:
I didn't send it back. I'm still testing the phone. I actually really like OP5 but indoor photos are really bad.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] cheesechocolate:
Okay so I had earlier bought the 6Gb one and then cancelled it right away (like a a few hours). I bought the 8GB one later.

However, today I got the 6GB phone and checked my card only to find that that $479 hasn't been refunded.

I contacted oneplus and created an RMA.

I haven't even opened the box but now I'll have to pay for shipping...

I don't know why I'm feeling that, although a great phone, oneplus is selling the 5 for a premium minus the service to go with it and treating their customers like any other phone OEM does - unfairly.

Even if I end up keeping my oneplus 5 (despite its not working Android Pay and GPS issues), I'll keep what they did in mind. This is how you make sure that the customer never purchases from you again. I already have Samsung in my blacklist. Looks like Oneplus is eager to join the list.

Gosh! How I wish at least one of these OEMs got their act together and gave us what we wanted, even if for a premium.

Right now, they aren't giving us what we want and even charging us for it.

I so feel like starting my own phone company now. All I need is a VC lol. There's definitely a market, though.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] vimto25:
I did the very same I sold my s8+ to get mine. I received mine a few hours ago and first impressions are very good. I prefer a metal body rather than glass and a flat panel is better for me.

I've tested everything out apart from the camera and I'm very happy. It certainly is the fastest phone on the market.

I think updates for the camera will sort out some known issues over time so I'm not too worried if it's not as good as flagships aslong as its decent.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] cheesechocolate:
I have a question. If I open the box, will that change anything regarding the amount of refund or whatever?

I'm resigned to the fact that I have to pay the shipping fee. So why not open it and check it out too? Is that gonna change anything?

Just received the refund by paypal (purchase was in the EU).

OnePlus refunded 100% and covered the return shipping as well.

BTW, this was not a rejected shipment. I received the unit on Friday and tested it over the weekend. Shipped back Monday and already credited on Tuesday. Amazing.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] lensgrabber:
No not really. I bought the phone w/ priority shipping before the embargo was lifted and the reviews started showing up. Fedex *finally* came to my door this morning where it was refused. I didn't expect them to drop OIS and expected a better camera considering all of the hype around them "working" with DXO which we know now was false. The 2x zoom news was disappointing.

Waterproofing doesn't matter but it would be nice to have a phone on the motorcycle without worry of hard rain taking it out.

I may. I am not a total newb, but is anyone having any app incompatibility and simply cannot work For me it was getting online at first. Found out it was Lookout causing that. Regardless of whether I need that, it should be able to be used. I cannot get mail, neither K-9, nor TypeApp or Gmail are working

Some say it is a APN problem but a guy here said he never had a problem with that and Tmo. Nor have I with the 3T

[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Munk0:
My OnePlus 3 consistently did better photo's than my OnePlus 5. All of the images, EXCEPT FOR PRO-MODE, look like water colorings when you do a little bit of zooming. I'm not sure why that is but I tried installing the Google Camera APK but it still shows up as water colors. If the camera can be corrected through software then I wont return it. But for now with my OnePlus 3 doing better with photo's the extra speed of the OP5 just doesn't seem worth the cost.
