[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] barondebxl:
Hey dude, let me give my 2 cents since I owned the note 8 and the 5T.

1. The 5T display is REALLY good. I'm the type of person that barely notice a difference between QHD and Full HD. As a matter of fact I'm using my note 8 on 1080 p cause I cannot tell the difference. Of course there is one but i barely see it. The point is the 5T display is excellent.

2. The 5T is insanely fast. OnePlus is known to have zippy software and it's very consistent throughout the UI. That is the last thing to worry about on the 5T, performance. It's absolutely stellar and it is amongst the fastest phone out there period. Whether it's an iPhone or pixel or whatever else, the 5T is top 3 hands down.

Now your friend has a note AND is getting a 5T as well? That is the absolute best combo to have besides having the note and an iPhone X. He is gonna love it and will be able to switch back and forth. Tell him to pull the trigger, the 5T is totally worth it.

I forgot to answer your questions about downsides of the phone. Well it doesn't have any IP ratings, it doesn't have wireless charging and the camera isn't the best. It's ok/good but definitely not great. The hardware is there but the software still needs some work (camera).

I wouldn't worry about those screen protectors that you soak in water and apply on phones, it's made to be that way. Of course if you go crazy and purposely pour water in the headphone jack or USB x port then you'll have issues. But splashes here and there will be no issues. As far as updates, who knows. We know for sure Oreo is coming and most likely Android P but beyond that I haven't heard anything personally.
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] Symphony0fLife:
The moment I get home and have both phones handy I will post some photos, sure. And again, the benchmark thing doesn't mean anything. It doesn't matter if it scores 15,000 in Geekbench or whatever. What counts is real world use. For example, the iPhone scores spectacularly well in benchmarks and is a train wreck in day to day use. I sold my iPhone X already, but it was a jittery mess. Scores are high, but real world doesn't reflect that. Samsung scores pretty well too but again, real world it's a mess. Stutters and lags abound in Touchwiz. My Sony scored lower than my others and it is the smoothest performance hands down next to the 5T. If you're into benchmarks I'm sure you can find answers on here but I'm telling you, they're just for folks to "nerd out" on. They don't mean anything in the real world. But yes, OnePlus was caught fudging the numbers (why, I don't know since they are the king of specs anyway) but I am not sure if they still do.

As to the screen protector, as long as he doesn't submerge the phone he should be fine. But keep in mind - the Samsung is not water proof. It's water resistant. So water CAN damage it. The OnePlus is not rated as water resistant, but OnePlus says it's fine with things like splashes or rain drops. He's not going to hurt it using a wet application screen protector.

Updates - Who knows. Manufacturers always over promise on updates these days. They claim it'll be updated for a long time and they'll roll them out fast. OnePlus and Essential so far are hands down the best in terms of fast besides Google themselves, but OnePlus has dropped the ball on long term before. The 3 and 3T are getting Oreo, I'd imagine the 5 and 5T will get Oreo and the next major update at a minimum. Beyond that you'd have to ask them. I imagine many don't bother since people tend to upgrade every year or two but if you plan to use it for 2+ years you'd be best served to ask them. Though Samsung definitely won't be updating theirs fast and I doubt they'll get anything beyond what the 5T does either. Manufacturers want to sell phones. Not keep old phones running for years and years. 2 years is the outside for most manufacturers. Where you have a win on the OnePlus is the developer community. The bootloader is unlockable and you can install any ROM you want. With the specs it has the phone will be supported in some way for years and years, just potentially not by OnePlus themselves.

I no longer have the 5T. Someone offered to trade me a note 8 factory unlocked brand new and I had to do it lol. The resale value is why and ultimately the note is the superior phone.
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] Reuben_skelz92:
Lol I would have done the same ...probably sell the note and get another one plus 5t or a a pixel....profit :svetius:
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] Will.gamble:

I have heard the One plus is the best phone, is it true? What about a comparison to the Iphone X?

Waiting for the photos my dear. Is the warranty of opo taken care by oppo's service centers?
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] Ouzo:
Just for a giggle, my last THREE phones cost less than my 5t. I bought all of them direct from China and they all exceeded my expectations. I kept the last one - a Xiaomi Redmi Note 2- for two years (unheard of for me!) and the only reason I've given up on it is because the power button is failing. To my amazement, in a side by side comparison, it holds up to the 5t pretty well, in particular having a screen with much more accurate colour saturation. Compared to that, is a 5t worth £499 Vs the £117 the Redmi Note 2 cost? Heck no! Do I like the 5t? Yep! Would I buy another if I dropped it tomorrow? Nope, I'd buy another cheap phone from China because they offer fantastic value for money :)
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] mlin:
While I don't think any phone on the market claims to have a camera comparable to a DSLR, there is something to be said for having a capable camera and there are pretty significant differences in photo quality between a 5t and phones like the Note 8/Pixel 2/iPhone X when attempting to capture difficult shots, e.g. low-light, moving objects, etc. I was considering a 5t in addition to my Pixel 2 XL to fill my interest in modding, tweaking, flashing, etc since my Pixel 2 XL is locked. I played with my friend's 5t for a bit to specifically test out the camera and found it just can't keep up for my needs, and didn't leave me with a lot of confidence. When a camera performs poorly in specific situations, I'm less likely to use it. If most of my shots were of non-moving objects in broad daylight, the 5t would suffice. However, most of my shots are of my kids, who are very active and often in low light and indoor situations in addition to being outdoors in broad daylight. The best camera is the one you have on you and for capturing moments in my family's life, I wouldn't want that camera to be the one on the 5t.
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] nadejo:
Its worth the price. You can see comparisons on youtube... Its the best phone since they released op 3 period
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] xocomaox:
1. I was so glad to switch off Verizon earlier last year when I got my Pixel XL, to goto T-Mobile. I'm saving money, am on a network with the same speeds, and have the luxury of buying non-carrier phones.

2. I had this issue with SmartLock on OxygenOS as well. it was annoying, and they need to fix it. I switched to 8.1 AOSP firmware and all my problems went away. Oxygen was okay, but AOSP custome firmware always manages to be superior to stock firmwares.

---------- Post added at 09:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:02 PM ----------

I'm the same as you, but with the screen and not the camera. I went to a Pixel 2 XL from a Pixel XL and found that I just couldn't use a phone with a poor screen. I had to dump it in favor of a good screen that wasn't curved and had an unlockable bootloader. The 5T fit the bill nicely and the camera is average, but then again I don't have kids. ;)
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] techlogik:
I just moved from an HTC 10 to a Samsung S8+. Wanted less bezel and more screen. One thing I'm already regretting is the complete inability and lack of true development support compared to HTC phones. Sure, you can root the Samsung, but you break APay, Samsung Pay and anything SafetyNet related...uh...there goes my needs/ability to pay for anything with the phone now?!?! WTF Samsung and their complete unwillingness to allow an unlocked boot.img, probabaly all carrier driven of course, because the 955F you can unlock the bootloader.

So...yeah, screen, camera all great on the Samsung...but as soon as you want to mod it to get rid of bloat and speed it up and improve the experience, you make a lot of compromises IMO. Otherwise, checks every other box I have/need/want in a phone.

Would like a Pixel 2 XL or One 5T...neither has an external SD Card?????? Sigh...

Seems like nobody has the perfect phone out there still. AMOLED screen, fast processor, memory, SDCard external, great camera, great OS experience AND massive dev support for modding to do what you want with it. What you have today in smartphones is some combo of each, but none has all of the above. Sad...

If HTC would just finally get into the near bezel less game, get a screen AMOLED and not LCD, and keep all the modding/OS/DEV in there with the above...that would be great...but no sight for that either. Moving on again.

IDK...
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] billubakra:
Miui os is crap.

Congrats. While your post is a very good read but you gotta admit that the camera of 5t is ordinary. I have checked sample photos as compared with say a s8. Yes pricing is a huge difference but 5t should have provided a better camera. I don't know if I read this right or not, the screen is 1080p but it can record 4k videos. What's the point of 4k videos if your screen is only 1080p?
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] billubakra:
Thanks, opo3 or 3t?

Any fix for the second issue without custom firmware? And is oppo handling opo's customer support centre.

Guys personally I have been a Samsung user all my life. I really like touchwiz, no offence to anyone, and it serves my needs. I am not into custom roms etc. 1 use 1 sim in my s7 and one in my s3 as I have noticed that dual Sim phones, even on standby consumes more battery than their 1 Sim counterpart. Is that true?

Anyways we have shifted to 4g and many apps won't support s3 anymore I was looking for a second phone, s3 is perfect in every way its just that maybe due to hardware major apps are not getting released for it. I was eyeing the s9, but now the leaked specs says that it will more or less be like s8 with face lock technology and all. I am really impressed by advice's of all you. My friend is getting 5t in a few days. I am confused whether I should wait for s9 or go with the 5t?
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] mlin:
Kids were the difference maker for me. Prior to having them, I was far less concerned with camera quality. Regarding the 2 XL, yeah, the screen is a bit of a sore spot for some, guess I lucked out though. Only issue I have is the blue tint which I never really notice because I rarely look at my device at much of an angle. Unlockable bootloader is more of a carrier issue than a device issue but I get where you're coming from. Honestly though, in just about every respect, the 5t seems like a downgrade from a Pixel XL.
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] xocomaox:
I didn't find a permanent fix but was moving to AOSP anyways. Sorry.
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] Ouzo:
Like you I used to like Touchwiz, then I got a real thing for HTC Sense (modified), but after two years of MIUI I'm honestly missing it. I used to slap NOVA launcher over the top and it ended up in a perfect place for me. I'm constantly sliding my thumb from the home button to the right to try to get into one handed mode - so useful if you're queueing for something and want to send a text or whatever (ok, or eating with my left hand!)

How much money would you lose if you got the 5t now and then sold it for the 9 next year? I'm guessing the 5t will stay popular even when oneplus release 27 new phones in January, February, March.... ;)
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] xocomaox:
My two largest issues were the blue tint at almost any angle and the incredibly poor picture when used at low brightness. I like using my phone in the dark and this was a killer.

The 5T had a screen just like my XL in terms of quality, so that was a lateral move. The phone's battery life is far better than the XL, and charges twice as fast (which was always disappointing on the XL). I also enjoy the larger Dev community on the OnePlus phones. And the price.

The only downgrade to me was the camera. Noticeably worse than the XL.
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] sh4ne:
I agree. I was paying over $98 for one line with grandfathered unlimited data when I was on Verizon. Switched over to straight talk, pay $45 for the same service, and have "unlimited" data (10gb of 4g) that I'll never use anyway. Unfortunately for me TMobile service in my area is worthless. Otherwise I would hop on a plan with my wife in a heart beat but that's not an option for us :/

If it were me, I would do the exact same thing that you did and flash an aosp 8.1 rom to the phone instead of running oxygen OS. But, at this point the wife isn't too keen on me putting non oem software on her phone. Tried that with the Moto x pure she had and she did nothing but complain about it lol

---------- Post added at 08:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:06 PM ----------

Oh for sure. The camera isn't on par with other oems by any means, but it's not a complete streaming pile of crap either imo. They absolutely should have done a better job on it, but comparatively speaking it's a pretty big step up from the Moto X Pure she had previously. As for the video recording resolution, they probably took into account that a lot of people now a days are uploading videos to streaming sites, streaming them via their own home network to a 4k display etc. and not strictly watching them on their phones. That would be my guess anyway. Not to mention if they didn't including 4k recording, they would've gotten backlash for that as well I'm sure.
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] x111:
answer is no, op5t should be cheaper but anyway we do not have anything better for now end of 2017.

op5t does not provide all the top end parts and all necessary features.
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] billubakra:
Thanks guys. I think I will wait till S9's release, well hopefully. I don't think that the price of 5t will be lowered though. My friend is ordering it but I am waiting. Can someone please post some hi-res photos of the screen and the sides?

I was just checking an unboxing video of an Indian unit and the box didn't had any earphone. Why isn't opo providing the same?

My s7(non-edge)'s screen has a little edge on the sides so every glass guard has a halo effect, that is why I opted for a screen protector. Is this the case with 5t also?

P.s. I am not able to like or click thanks for all your posts as there is some limit here. Thanks to all for replying.

How is the 5t when compared to the a8+?
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] harpin14789:
I don't know if anyone has said but the 5T doesn't have the widevine L1 certification so that means that Netflix, Amazon prime and other DRM content will only play in SD, that might be a deal breaker for him if he uses these services on a phone.

While the note 8 has the L1 certification so content will play in full HD.
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] billubakra:
Man that sucks. He already got the phone and except the camera and speaker, the phone is just fine. Personally I was thinking of ordering one but the camera and speakers are really very bad . I am thinking to go for the Samsung A8+ now.
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] harpin14789:
I think the camera and speakers are just fine. I have the stereo mod and it sounds fine. Camera is also good and there is also gcam to make it better.
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] billubakra:
Me and my friend have tested the camera in every situation, it is nothing when compared to the cameras of S6 and S7, I know the Galaxy's are of top notch and I didn't expect the 5t's camera to match them but it doesn't stand a chance in front of them. Speaker okay sometimes it is upto the same level but most of the times it sounds like a speaker of oppo or vivo.
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] harpin14789:
All that doesn't matter for me. I hate the crap of Samsung and it's software and how it's not Deb friendly. The 5T camera is just fine for me. Gcam really makes cam qualify a lot better.

[Verizon LG G6 Questions & Answers] Juice3250:
I was on the latest update from Verizon from the update on December 9. But for a while I was experiencing slow wifi in my house as well as it just randomly disconnecting from it even if I was in the same room as the router. The phone was just overall slower than it should be. So I finally was brave enough to factory reset the phone. It was easier than I had expected. With the ability to restore every app and almost all of my data through Android's ability to store it in the cloud, I was back up and running in about an hour and a half. I just had to sign back in to all of my accounts and set up Nova launcher the way I like it. I'll let you guys know if my wifi performance gets better. But definitely consider resetting your phone if you're experiencing any lag or issues, especially after a software update.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Frans1897:
Hey everyone! As the title says I'm having a problem with plugging in my headset and the microphone.

To be more specific, any time I plug in my headphones (Samsung original that I've gotten with the phone), the phone stops hearing my voice both from the headset and from the normal one. If I unplug the headset the microphone still won't work and in order to fix it I have to perform a reboot

I'm running Android 7.0 stock and not rooted. I do have Tasker installed but I did try a factory reset to check if any app was causing the issue and it still had the same problem

Did anyone encounter the same problem? Any idea? Thanks in advance
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] rmrbpt:
When you remove the headphones does the sound switch automatically to the phone speaker?

If it happens on stock ROM after a full reset there's probably a problem with the headphone plug in your phone. Try to clean it gently but it will probably need to be replaced.

Does the microphone on your headphones work on other smartphones?
