OnePlus phones - flagship phone at mid-range price

Waterproofing nearly swung it for me towards either an S8 or an iPhone 7 (especially since a long walk in the rain lead to the demise of my S3 Mini, well it works, but charging it is a bit iffy) - but in the end I just bought a special waterproof pouch for the phone from Go Outdoors.

It pretty much destroys the iPhone X

I could care less about an app loading half a second faster, but that interface unresponsiveness in Minecraft is pretty damning against it. But that's Android in a nutshell - fast where it's not a problem, and hiccups when you least want them. Loading times are curious though, since the iPhone (A-whatever-number) has way more brute force than the SD935. Obviously I wouldn't pay twice as much for the privilege, says the man with the Huawei phone who thinks OnePlus is too expensive. :)

Qualcomm really holds the Android side back. Not that the SnapDragon isn't quick, but the Apple SoC is simply amazing.

Here's a brand new review:

The OnePlus 6 is premium device that cuts the right corners in pursuit of a sub-£500 price. Starting at £469, it certainly isn’t a cheap smartphone but it is less than half the cost of Apple’s iPhone X and considerably cheaper than the top-end Android competition.

It is as smooth and well made on the outside as it is high performing on the inside, which makes it one of the best smartphone experiences available at any price point right now.

And while the camera is good, the screen is great, the battery life is good and it even has a headphone socket, there’s no real killer, stand-out feature to set the OnePlus 6 apart.

Instead the OnePlus 6 demonstrates that despite what marketers might say, you really don’t need to pay £700 to £1,000 for a really great phone.

OnePlus 6 review: top-end smartphone for half cost of iPhone X

You'd need to buy an awful lot of apps to make up the price difference!

I need some specific ones though, like dp4remote. Can't find anything available on other platforms.

Annoyingly the dev hasn't made it iOS 11 compatible either.

Gaming is definitely one of the reasons I can’t see myself switching :thumbs:

Really useful set of massive images for a thread about OnePlus phones. That said, the money you'd save by not paying over the odds for an Apple phone would probably pay for all those apps and a shitload more. #rotfl

If android users paid for apps, >30% of them would probably be available on Android.

SAD.

You're actually quite wrong with that made up number, but I can see that the Reality Distortion Field is very strong for you so I'll leave you to roll around in Fanboy Meadows.

Well done on looking up all of those premium games, and so swiftly finding out which of them is fully available on Android, which is only available in freemium form, and which isn’t available at all.

I’d sort of assume you were just doing your fandroid thing and randomly spouting out a fandroid response, only it’s clear you’ve put the work in to come out with a considered answer.

I just corrected your ignorant response. Oh and kindly don't persist in trying to take this across any more threads in unrelated forums.

Tbf, I think you’ll find I corrected your ignorant response, to which you haven’t actually responded, with a response that was itself a response to a question you actually asked.

You’ve sort of disappeared up your own arse with not wanting responses to things you ask about phones you probably don’t actually want but, you know. On with the topic! Definitely more interesting than your next post (guesstimate: a bit superior / dismissive, probably lacking in insight, and probably content free. With a whiff of “back on topic”!)

Really not interested in this weirdness. Go play with your zillion games on your beyond awesome iPhone and let people get on with talking about the actual topic of this thread: the OnePlus phones Thanks.
 
I've got a 5T, had it for nearly a year now and it's still pretty awesome. Lovely screen, amazing camera, superb battery life. I'm not enamoured with the 6, mainly because my slightly neurotic sense of aesthetics just can't deal with the notch. I know it'll be a standard fixture in a few years, maybe I'll hold onto my 5T until they can hide the sensors under the screen itself.

I predict the notch - or at least the Apple/Google sized monstrosities - will soon be gone and looked back at with laughter, like mullet hairstyles.
 
I really want to see a head-to-head vs. the Magic 2 once it's available. They should be coming in around the same price.
