Just don't put it into the back pocket. :laugh:
or lose weight.
yeah, I know.
but, the fact is that so far I had no worries about putting my phone in the back pocket, and this crashing was way too easy.
many other phones "refused" to break in the same test. seems it's not impossible to make phone stronger.
Now we know why it's so light...

It is a Glass body phone! What did you expect! Seriously.
Edit: The Nexus 6P costs twice as much and fails just as bad. Keep that in mind before you judge.
Well, seriously, I expected it would be similar to some other Glass body phones which are lower class and even cheaper:

The OnePlus X has an SD 801 inside and less fancy hardware. Could be that OnePlus saved money on the hardware and innovation part.
But then again, if you just wanted to say:There is no perfect phone and certainly not a cheap perfect phone. Than yeah, that is right.

Exactly you would have expected the Mi5 to fair better.
Instead it broke easier than a biscuit.

Well, Mi5 has only one aluminium frame. They had to sacrifice rigidity of the phone to make it cheaper.
The phone has top components, though, so I think it's still one of the best Android phones (if not the best) in its price range.
Get a sleek looking case and you're fine. Since i live in Myanmar i payed the same price for it as they cost in China. So i have to handle it more careful then normal. Like a Chinese vase?
If you like rugged, get the Redmi Note 3 snapdragon. Fast, though and heavy.

so, here we are again...
this time, phone has SD 820 and even more fancy hardware, so OnePlus did not save money on the hardware and innovation part.
also, phone is in the same price range as Mi5, and in europe it's even cheaper (+official support).

And where is One Plus now? SD 820 and more expensive than the Mi5.
The time when one plus was a flagship killer are long gone. One Plus right now is too expensive to be budget, and too bad to be premium.
The difference is that the Mi5 is true budget, compared to the OP3.
What One Plus released now with the OP3 is: either go for budget SD 820 -> Mi5 or spend 50 to 100 USD more and get a real flagship over the OP3... don't bring one plus on board after the current release.
Don't live in the past, the OP1 is long gone and old.
Yet if you want to compare you may also compare stuff to the Nokia 3210, that's a "bend proof phone" ... yes I am kidding. Don't live in the past.
thx for clarifying.
I would like to give you +20 Experience and +5 Prestige for that, but I'm struggling to find those options on this not-so-advanced forum.
anyways, as far as I can see, this is present:
Mi5 vs OP3 - one breaks, another doesn't
so, there's absolutely no need to live in the past for anybody.

Whats the point here? Mi5 failed, ok so what? (we can´t have all)
buy an OP3 and go to the right thread? There must be a "strong OP3 bend test" thread.

To say I'm beyond happy with this device would be an understatement. I'm seriously considering selling my Nexus 6P. They're very comparable, and I know how crazy that sounds. They have a ton of similarities, fast camera, good battery life, stock experience.
The battery life on the 6p wins JUST due to standby time. If I use the OPX all day I'll get 4-5 SOT, where the 6P gets 3-4 SOT. But that standby time of the 6p is what makes it a winner.
When OPX gets 6.0, that doze feature will really kick it over the edge.
The only thing that holds me wanting the 6p still is the fingerprint reader and the front facing speakers... before the 6p I had the OP2, that device was horrible (TO ME AT LEAST) Fingerprint reader was crap, and the shape of the device was not comfortable to hold for a while
If you're considering getting the OPX, get it. It's a fantastic device that doesn't feel cheap in the slightest bit. It performs better than the Moto X Pure Edition (2015)

One major negative however is how slippery the OPX is, as I sat there typing that is slid off the couch (which I though was level)
It's like ice slippery. GRIPPY to hold though... while holding you'll never worry about it slipping out of your hands, the glass is way grippier than the iPhone 4/4s

well it seems great from you review, even people say camera is bad on low light, i still dont know, im considering to buy htc one m8 (refurbished ) or this, the only this which is keeping me away from buying OPX is about that camera !! However i cant buy it from OnePLus web, because they dont ship to Albania (where i live ), i need try AliExpress, or something else ....
The camera on the m8 is the worst camera out there. I haven't tried the oneplusx low light.. I'll try it out tonight and post some samples

^^This is TOTALLY UNTRUE. The M8 has an excellent camera. The ONLY downside is the pics are only 4MP. So Zoom/Crop totally destroys the image. Low light pics are pretty great too. Better than this camera for sure.
Also, just the M8. The M8 Eye camera sucks.
The M8 also is optimized better than this phone. It just flies.
That being said, I would never buy a used or refurbished phone.
The M8 also has a better front camera. Better lighting and so on. Only 5MP though.
Can someone tell me whats the diference betwen a china version vs internacional version ? since opeplus does not ship to my country, i need to buy it from AliExpress and they wil sell me a china version ?

Id check on the onplus forums in their website.. I'm sure people have asked the identical questions with shipping solutions
Worst case I can think of is you'll find it has hydrogen os which you can just easily just root and toss oxygen os on

Read the article yourself. The One M8s weaknesses are noise under low light, where and stabilisation of videos, not colors and detail, both of which come out quite well, even if you lose some accuracy. You have to remember this is a 4MP sensor. It may not compete with the Z2, but its damn good for a 4 MP sensor. Sure, 4MP is not very sharp, but plenty good for social media, as long as you don't crop. The X on the other hand will do nothing in low light. Forget noise, you'll get nothing. Colors on the X are pleasing, though less accurate than the M8. The M8 overall takes better pictures, as long as you don't mind the loss of detail in the smaller sensor.

Get the 1+X 1003-version, it works flawlessly in Europe.
About the camera, i can understand why YoungSkeezy hasn't posted any low light pictures yet because they don't really turn out that good tbh. If you want to get a good camera, buy a Galaxy S6... on the other hand, that's almost the only thing that stands out with the S6
I can just repeat what all the serious reviewers tell you, the 1+X is a great phone for its price. There are better phones out there but not by far.
If you ask me, for the reasonable price the pros are:
- Good looks, slim and build quality
- Decent APU for the phone size, two years old but copes with most tasks
- 3Gig RAM helps quite a lot
- Excellent screen
- Dual SIM or SD-slot
- Close to stock android experiance out of the box
- 3-way notification slider
...and the cons are:
- No fingerprint reader
- No NFC
- Mediocre camera
- Only about 12 or the 16GB of storage is available if you use 2 SIMs
I know the release date is some day April 2016, but which price tag do you guys think is most likely for this phone?
I think I was settled on the S7 but since it's retail price will most likely be $699 I might consider the G5 if it's around $599, sure the S7 looks way better but I can hide the G5s ugliness with a case lol and I get almost the same powerhouse.
It's already up for preoder in Switzerland for 599 CHF (~600$, ~550Euro) Release date 4-6 weeks.

Yeah, I don't know about Europe but down here in the States we're supposed to get April 1st, 2016 according to Best Buy.
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/lg-cell...g5/pcmcat748301770556.c?id=pcmcat748301770556 says PRE-orders start March 18... Not sure where you saw April 1 release but that seems about right. Meanwhile my G4 bit the dust (v1.0 bootloop issue) and I'm stuck on my old S3. I don't know if I can wait that long!! I'd get another G4 if they dropped the price (they didn't have replacement stock so I got a $550 BestBuy gift card!).

I'm with Wind and I think they're notorious for being late to the party. I just want a new phone in April.
What will push me in getting the S7 is the free VR glasses (I'll probably overlook the Bluish hue that AMOLED screens have). I think it's a great deal. I hope LG does some type of a give away for early adopters (would love to have that camera attachment). Still, I'm sticking to my guns here. It'll be my 3rd LG phone (N4 and G3) and what gets me is the IPS. I could care less for Qi charging.
...and I hope we also don't have to suffer due to our failing dollar. I'm already expecting this to be $799 at the minimum.

Hey, I'm sorry if I'm posting this in the wrong place but I just wanted to get some advice on what phone to get. I've been using a nexus 6p but I stupidly left it on the train the other day and its not been handed in by anyone and I don't know if it ever will. In the mean time I've gone back to using an old iPhone lying around the house but I can't stand it. I've decided if the nexus turns up and I've got a new phone then ill sell one. In the mean time I'm torn between the LG G5 and S7. I like the look of the s7 more than the G5 but I love love love the idea of more convenient battery options. If it wasn't for the battery I'd just go for the s7 as its out much sooner. Any advice? It would be much appreciated

Imo the G5 only looks ugly on the front, ain't pretty from the back but it's not horrible. There's no question whatsoever about the S7 being better looking but if the looks aren't that big of a deal to you I'm sure a case will make up for it. I'm sure we'll see plenty of S7s with all them ugly rugged case which sure provide plenty of protection but make the phones look damn awful. S7 has 200mAh higher capacity on its battery, but I don't believe it will be that huge of a difference on battery performance besides just like you said, you have the option of swapping in a 2nd one and I'm certain either LG or a 3rd Party will come up with a higher capacity battery. I'm still undecided on both as well, I'll probably just get the S7 if I can find it unlocked next month, if not I'll just go for the G5.
Any rumors on promotion items from LG for pre-orders? Kind of hard to say no to a free year of Netflix, Samsung VR and app package for S7.

Ha! The rugged cases, as my partner always says it reminds him of his gran who bought new sofas and then put crinkly plastic sheets over them to preserve them. So every time you fidgeted no one could hear the tv! :laugh:
Speaking of cases, how do you suppose it will work with the G5? If you want to change battery, you'll need to remove the case right? In which case an easy peel off case or snap off shell might be more convenient.

Lmao way to put it but yeah that's exactly it.
Yeah I think removing the case will be a must in order to remove the battery, I want a simple slimfit case with maybe some bump protection so if my phone drops it won't land on the screen and get f'd up.
Very excited for this phone. Love the modules, especially the hi-fi one. I bought my first lg device in October, V10. Been a Sammy fanboy for years, so it was an adjustment. I miss my Note 4 a bit, but there are many positives to lg. I don't think I'll get the S7, if anything I'd go back to the Note series. Being with tmobile and jump, the G5 makes the most sense, then switch to the Note 6 if I choose. Really looking forward to this phone, first time in years, probably since the Note 3. Note 4 didn't really excite me much. G5 does.

To each their own. I personally think that the G5 looks better than the S7 and even more so the S7 edge from any angle. By quite a bit in fact.
I am willing to bet that the more efficient IPS on the LG more than makes up for a measly 200 mah. We shall see when reviews come out.

On what carrier and what country? I read about a free charger and free battery but that was all I heard. Nothing about a free SD card that wouldn't be 200gb any way since they don't come in that size, it was a free 256 gb? Pretty generous deal if so.
I decided to get a mint black HTC 10 from swappa, sooo much smaller and everything else is just as great. miss HDR+ but love everything about it. thanks for all your help everyone!
ORIGINAL POST BELOW
So I love my 6P, battery life if not so great but I absolutely love the camera! as do most friends and family always saying my pics look amazing!
Anyway, I really hate having a large brick (nexus 6p) in my pocket. I thought in time I would adjust but it's been over a year and I still dislike how large it is -__- so question is simple.... what phone 5 inch ish would you switch too? as far as camera's go, right now I think Moto G5 Plus is the closest thing (with wide pixels 1.4um) but it seems the phone is kinda big also.
Fire away and help a brother out with phone recommendations! Thanks!

What? You're joking right? The 6p camera is only alright, while the s7 is one of the best. I'm pretty sure you're being facetious though.

Well every single review says otherwise, and as someone who takes a lot of photos in different conditions, even my s6 edge blew it out of the water. You can subjectively feel how you want, but you're factually wrong.

i did see it on htc website but hoped it coups be had for cheaper considering i paid $450 for my new nexus 6p last year
if u can afford a google pixel then go ahead if not i advice with the Nexus 5x, it has a wonderful camera especially with the HDR+ . but if u want a bigger size then go for the Oneplus 3T. but staying in google phones would be better to keep having the latest software updates.
As a former huge OnePlus fan, it's time to say goodbye. I never upgraded after the 2, the phones got more expensive and the upgraded features didn't justify the additional cost. I've been running my OnePlus 2 on DU 11.5 for months now, the ROM development just never got to where we all hoped it to be. I blame OnePlus for this not giving the developers the tools needed and really hindering their success opportunities.
A huge thanks to all the devs who have and still put work into keeping this phone development alive. Until we meet again.
As for where I'm going. I'm a 2 phone guy, one for work and one for personal. I'll be switching my personal over to the Samsung A5(2017) which is an incredible phone. And my corporate phone will be an iPhone 7...
Farewell. I'm personally not buying OnePlus again.
Oneplus is still using USB 2.0 in the OP5, over 2 years after the type C spec was published. There is still issues with jpeg compression in their phone app and it is not adjustable. Not releasing decent camera blobs for devs to use in their roms, etc. Oh yeah, premium pricing too. No thanks, I am done with them too.
My carrier has the LG G6 on sale right now, I think I'm gonna try that. I love the idea of a wide angle lens, and the Google camera app with HDR+ is confirmed working on it.

Yeah, I have enjoyed my one plus 2 also but the lack of decent support from the company has turned me off from them. Around the beginning or middle of next month I will be switching to something else. Farewell OP2
OP2 is still a decent phone even in 2017. It's all about finding the right rom for your needs. But yeah.. OP is a terrible company and have forgotten what made them great in the past.

This sums up my thoughts too. I'm happy with my OP2 for now but when it comes time to change I won't buy another OP.
What if I told you that OnePlus provided the tools, but no one here ever made efficient use of them since Grarak left?
This device still has life and its still a solid phone. I just got it and my intention is to improve it.

I would say yey new ROM !
There seems to be some good devs working on the phone still so would be surprised if they where all missing something.
I'l just dreaming about Google doing affordable Nexus devices again ... They would be so successful I'm sure. I first bought the 2 because the 6P was too expensive for me, but I still don't know about any other company which is "developer friendly" as OnePlus and Google. So yeah I'm stuck buying ****ty devices from a brand who doesn't car about their customers
Never settle. Yeah right.
Some good points here, yes, OP2 is still a good phone even in 2017. OnePlus turned it's back on it in pursuit for more ka-chiiiing, and 3, 3T or 5 haven't done much to make them sooo much better. But prices, oh my. Just got OnePlus spam in my mail, new OP5 model with more memory already! What? How much?
6GB RAM + 64GB Storage
499,00 €
8GB RAM + 128GB Storage
559,00 €
So I went to see my order from february 2016. I got 64GB one at the time when 32GB was available. Mine was 345€ minus 40€ for coupon. So 305€. Guess what OnePlus, I won't be settling.

Come on, stop. OnePlus 2 was not a good phone, is not a good phone and would never be a good phone.
How can you say it's a good phone when you see User Experience is so bad with the Snapdragon 810, when there is so much thermal throttling every time you are doing something on the phone ? (don't talk about underclock / overclock / custom kernel / etc, those are elements which are flashed after by the user, and are not relevant for every users).
When you can see that you can buy a OnePlus 3T for 350E on Ebay (what I did, phone is in perfect condition), you should not even consider buying the OnePlus 2.
Never had those problems, but I am not using it for games. Phone works just fine - not saying it is (or ever was) a great phone, just a reasonably good one. Mostly let down by software and company which became greedy, and yes, while being the latest thing at the time Snapdragon 810 wasn't that good. Still it works for all basic needs, even after 2 years specs are almost impressive and user experience can be ok. *Not* a power-user experience.
Not comparing it to flagships because it never really was in that category, and you also should put it in it's price bracket, you bought used 3T for 350€ while OP2 when new was 300€. So there's that. After having it for a year and a half I am surely not considering buying another one or recommending someone to get OP2 or any OP actually. For that user experience and satisfaction should be on higher level.
Actually i will buy oneplus again. Why, because it's cheaper then the rivals much cheaper. And i really like my oneplus 2, spent 100 euros for it, really cheap and good phone.

Me too on that one...
Bought a Nexus 4 towards the end of them selling out for like £150 or something, was a brilliant phone even though I replaced god knows how many screens and back's on it but was a great great phone
Efforts will be put in getting Oreo up for the OP2, specifically halogenOS 8.0
Any help is appreciated, if you want to submit patches, do so via review.halogenos.org, otherwise, if you have a device tree, let us know.

Hi CertifiedBlyndGuy, if I am not wrong then you're the AOSPA maintainer for OnePlus X. Are you building AOSPA for OnePlus 2 as well ?
Title pretty much says it; I'm thinking about getting the next iteration of the Fold. I was going to buy this one but I ended up with a P4 and a laptop and a few other toys instead because they took too long. In any event the next go around sounds like it's gaining some useful durability which is a plus and I'm eager to try the folding paradigm.
What say you? Glad you bought the Fold? Think round 2 might still be a little early to buy in? Feel free to call em as you see em, I'm not looking for someone to agree with me, I'm trying to figure out if it might be better to sit out for another round or not.
Iv jad the first fold on 4th Feb and I love the phone its totally up to you if you wait or jump in with the fold i love mine

i've had the fold since Dec. 7, and still no hardware issues.
my device has gotten the android 10 update: my only complaints are: i wish it kept just 1 or 2 things from android 9, and i don't like 1 or 2 things from android 10
consider how you type on a daily basis. do you use 2 hands, or swype?, i swype, so the front display is still useful. most people say the front display is useless to them.
consider app development. the most annoying app for me so far, is youtube. even with the "fullscreen" button at the bottom right, i still get black bars, with no option to "fill screen" to get rid of them.
i use the phone naked, with a carrying pouch, the ever popular shocksock. i say hello no to those stupid chunky cases. if you are prepared to take a few extra changes and precautions with how you handle a phone, go for the fold.
don't be scared by peoples issues with the device. think about what their complaints are. usually it is user implemented, like the main screen being worn out, with the oleophobic coating rubbing off.
to answer your questions:
I am absolutely glad i bought this phone. there is nothing like it.
if you cannot adapt in any way to use a new style of phone, don'y buy it. many ppl use the phone for a few days then return it because "they didn't like it".
if money is an issue, don't buy it.
if you have some money, look at these Fold Special Edition rumors that are going around. assume it is a Fold 1.5
early to buy into the Fold 2? hard to tell. the patent pictures showed the same notch inside the device, with the front display larger, going edge to edge. for a Fold 1 owner, the Fold 2 might have too little changes to warrant paying the huge price again.
good luck with your purchase
I'm old, money isn't an issue. Also relatively technical so new things are not an impediment either. It's things like annoyances that make you want to throw it out the window, having to be absurdly careful, etc. Those are the type things I'd rather do without.
Pluses and minuses in the latest rumors: Probably no S-Pen but 120 HZ seems likely. UTG, possibly the new 5NM chipset which would be a big plus to people like me who wont own a phone that cant be rooted. No deal-breakers yet and you owners aren't doing anything to sway me one way or the other. I SAID YOU OWNERS AREN"T DOING ANYTHING TO SWAY ME ONE WAY OR THE OTHER! Oops, did I type that or was I just thinking it?
Just to add my 2 scents, I bought the fold last week as needed a new toy. Coming from a Note 10 5G, the only reason I didn't adopt to it earlier was the reviews, and even samsung themselves to some extent, regarding the durability/fragility of it. However I am pleasantly surprised. The build quality is excellent. Features are what I expect but the added screen real estate is there when I want it! Although I can easily get by with using the external smaller screen for messages etc. Its not that small. Yes the unnecessary size of the notch is annoying but so was the punch hole camera in the Note 10 but you learn to ignore after a while.
Even the crease in the screen i can't see when you are using it directly in front of your face. Only noticeable when you swipe across it or tilt the device so that the light bounces of it.
Other than that, loving the phone/tablet.
Had mine for 7 months, love it, absolutely no defects, screen is still perfect, phone when i need a phone tablet when I need a tablet - will defo go for the fold 2 when it is eventually released,
How is Samsung Fold? i dont hear good reviews about this phone.

Do you still have the Fold? i have heard that the phone screen is easily scratch able.
From what I can tell it should be fine as long as you don't scuff the main screen with finger nails or keep it open in pockets where keys and coins could damage it.

Thanks guys, that's one of my main concerns, I take car of my phones because they're not cheap anymore but I am not stupidly careful and I don't want to have to be stupid careful. Ordinary care I can handle.

I'm looking at the Fold 2 as well. I've read many posts & watched videos on the Z Flip mainly to see reviews on that screen since the Fold 2 is supposed to have a similar (& hopefully an even better) version. Different than the original Fold screen type/material. I wanted that first Fold so badly. Been waiting for years for something like it. I ordered it but when it was canceled "for me" (after the debacle) I never re-ordered. Got the Note 10+ now & longing for a Note Fold but maybe that will arrive next year. Still, very interested in the Fold 2.
Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk
Same, I cancelled after the delays became longer than my patience but I'm still quite interested.
There are not alternatives! LG is a joke, Huawei far away from to be a trusted partner for Android based devices and what the ****, the display is one the outside!
So, the Fold is the only one. Available today! With 5G connectivity! With Wave 6 WLAN!! 12G RAM, 512GB Storage.
A phone, a tablet to go and a Desktop PC. I use this features all the day. Money doesn't matter, just my user experience!

Will that also apply to the Note 20?
No, the 5nm chip was going to b the exynos which can usually be rooted. The current situation isn't quite clear on whether there will be the 990 in the European and Indian phones or if everyone is going to get the Snapdragon. Hope seems to be fading on the 992 at any rate. We'll have to wait and see what shakes out in the next few weeks but the primary concept is that not being able to root is a hard pass deal breaker for me and the rumor that the 992 would be in there on some variants was probably going to be good news in that regard. The 990 would be much less so since it's going to be significantly slower that the new plus which is said to be clocked at over 3 gigaherts in the NA and other variants. In this case you probably gain root but at a performance penalty that might be more of a sphincter stretcher than I want to take.
Ok, I'll wait for the announcement. Thanks bro.
All released Fold versions (Gen1, Gen1+) shipped globally with Snapdragon Socs. The heat of current Exynos SoCs makes too much trouble with throtteling in too small cases.
All you need to take care of the current Fold version is to find the case that will protect your camera glas on the back. The fibercase shipped by Samsung with the Fold 5G case isn't.
