I think
1. it isnt worth creating a new device because sd821. The performance difference is not big. They should rather wait for hardware that makes a bigger difference.
2. by making the device 80$ higher many other brands could win oneplus3 owners in future.
3. they should simply wait till a device comes out that has better performance.
4. the price should always be 400$ and to make this fair they should simply wait till the oneplus3 gets old enough. It should always take atleast one year for a new phone to come out.
5. it doesnt make much sense to make a new device just because of sd821 because in theory its the exact same chip just slightly overclocked(higher silicium quality)

You may as well literally burn money if you have an OP3 and spend $480 on a device that will perform basic tasks about 0.00012 seconds faster. And honestly...even if you were potential first-time OP owner, it wouldn't make much sense to buy a OP3T over the OP3, especially if the price gets slashed on the OP3.
So my opinion is OP should focus their resources on an OP4 and not waste them on this rumored device.

I think it's a smartwatch

even with the s821 upgrade and upgraded camera sensors, it doesn't makes sense to upgrade the model. Oneplus should really stick to 1 device per year policy.

It's definitely not.
They were developing a smartwatch and they scrapped it, said they would focus on phones.

I'd pay an extra $80 for the faster CPU and a better camera sensor, (especially if the stabilisation in video works this time.)
However, if the new model is an LCD, I'd save the $80 and go for the current model.

Stabilisation is not dependent on sensor. It is another seperate hardware. For ex. Le Pro3 has the same IMX298 sensor but no image stabilisation at all.

In video mode, it feels like the OP3 also has no stabilisation! :crying:

IKR. It still works in 4k but non existent in 1080p. Most importantly it works in stills.
Probably the next update will fix it and also bring 1080p60fps. Should roll out in next 10-15 days

I'm mainly wondering if the rom development for 3t would be different to the original. If it was different, it would probably get less support because most people already have the original.
What do you guys think?

Exactly what I was thinking..yes it would have less support or they will OP3 ROMs compatible with OP3T which dissolves the purpose of OP3T I guess...but only time will tell...

Wait for the 830 then 821 is only more efficient version of the 820 nothing more

There most likely won't be an 830 oneplus three. 830 will probably be in the oneplus 4. So it'll be another year. Assuming the 820 and 821 have similar drivers and firmware, they should technically be supoorted with same software. Any expert advice on this?

Yes, 820 and 821 are basically the same thing, just improved thermals and slight overclock. None of this should require differences in drivers or firmware, so same ROMs should work on both 3 and 3T (but different kernels or rather different kernel settings would be needed because of different core speeds).

Let's Hope they don't **** around with OOS Updates like they did with the op2 after the op3 was released..

As long as the ROM is pretty much the same on the 3T as the 3, a update for one should effectively be an update for the other.

I agree that the 821 is pretty much an overclocked 820 and is only probably worth $30 of the $80 more for the 3T. On the other hand, the uprated camera is probably worth the remaining $50.

According to the Pixel cost breakdown post on one of the android news sites 821 costs $50 so an $80 price increase wouldn't be so bad with a camera sensor thrown in :good: But the 821 run the same clock speeds on Pixel/XL my guess it's dependent on OEM if they OC the chip or not

$80 is a good price if $50 was the difference between 820 and 821 or the op3T will have dual processors
I think the difference between 820 and 821 is negligible and won't alone require a $80 raise

Wasn't there an issue with the Amoled display manufacturer having suppy issues, therefor the 3T would have an LED IPS screen instead of an Amoled one?
But even if that isnt true, just 80 in raise for the 821 isn't worth it.
Also a raise of 80 dollars means around 97 in the European union, yay for 21% VAT.
Seems like a waste of money if you ask me. totally not worth it.

Went for the OnePlus One
Since the latest information regarding the Zenfone 2 was suggesting the $199 price tag would be for the 5" 720p device, I decided to order the OnePlus One instead.
It might be that the the 5.5" 1080p model ends up costing $199, but in Belgium (where I live), I suspected it will be more expensive.
The OnePlus one has been out for quite a while now, reviews are super positive. A LOT of development is going on for it, whereas the Zenfone 2 will be brand new in March (?), no reviews at all exist about this phone (will it be any good?) and development will start slow.
Also (correct me if I'm wrong), it would take some work to port CM to the Intel x86 platform whereas the OPO runs CM natively.
I ended up paying $356 for the OPO incl shipping, which seems reasonable. If the Zenfone 2 5.5" 1080p edition with 2GB of ram ends up costing $199, it would be a super deal, but I doubt it...

i totally agree with you most of the device running cyanogenMod have snapdragon or any other chipset....
but i have recently heard that cyanogen is not supporting opo anymore and they are working on their own os namely oxygen os.....
but if we look at the price point i think 4gb version of zenfone 2 will be available at 350$ or may be less than that...
well it can't predicted which device is much better...
well i will wait one week after the release of zenfone 2 and wait for the review of other people ...
hoping for good....
and about development i think xda have amazing devs i think anyone of the developer will definitely help asus users to get cm....

True. Another reason for buying the OPO now is that I really needed another phone as my current one is just too slow for daily use now. If I had time I probably would wait for the Zenfone 2 to come out, wait for reviews/opinions. If you have lots of time to wait, you can wait for the OnePlus 2 (Q3 I think) too.

You will regret the OPO if you are even a minor perfectionist, and the display quality is important to you. I went through 5 of them because I wanted to love it, but all 5 had terrible yellowish bottoms of the screen.

Did you get the yellow bands immediately? I have had the OPO for a few days now, it is a super phone! No yellow bands (yet?).

Yes, on all 5, and some worse than others. Maybe it has something to do with my retina cones!!
Are you using the on screen navigation keys? If so it makes it much less noticeable. Try turning them off, and brightness up and use hangouts or an app with a white background. Or better yet, don't even look for it and it will never bother you.
I was almost set on a OnePlus One, but I spent the day reading about the Zenfone 2, and now I'm quite intrigued by it. I have a few questions that I hope I can receive some advice on.
1. Purely in terms of performance, how does this particular Intel chip fare against the Snapdragon 801 in the OnePlus One?
2. I keep reading comments about supposed poor battery life on Intel Atom processors, compared to the Snapdragons. Are there any concrete facts concerning this? Or is it just generally assumed that the Intel Atoms translate to poor battery life?
3. I'm concerned about the aspect of software updates and custom ROMs for the Zenfone 2. Asus apparently aren't particularly quick with OS updates, and I'm worried that the Zenfone might end up not receiving as many as something like the OnePlus One. I'd also want the option to try an alternative ROM or two, say CM, in the event I don't like Asus' factory ROM (a lot of people don't seem to like it). Do you guys think the Zenfone 2 will be restricted in that sense, being an Intel architecture as opposed to ARM?

I don't have any problems yet (no on screen buttons). So maybe they fixed it in the newer phones? Lets hope it won't come later.

Moorefield in the Zenfone 2 smokes the 801 and is more on par with 805. Battery shouldn't be an issue as the new Intel processors are built on 22nm FinFET vs the older 32nm planar. FinFET is what Samsung and TSMC are supposedly releasing this year with the new Samsung Exynos built on what is equivalent to 20 nm FinFET but they are calling 14nm. Anything that reads z2xxx are the older processors which I don't even know why Asus is using. The new processors are z3xxx model numbers. I had a Dell Venue 8 pro with the new Intel chip running full windows and the battery life was comparable to my iPad Air except it ran full windows
Actually it is Intel vs Snapdragon
And Dude go for OnePlus One!
Awesome phone and best specs for this price!Overall nice phone with great features.
Using ONE since 6 Months No issues Whatsoever! :thumbup:

I think of buying an oneplus one, but I'm concerned about some touchscreen issues that some people had.
Does anyone know if these issues have been fixed?
In my opinion, one plus is the best choice. He is good looking. He is not strong but he is famous.

oneplus one vs oneplus 3

Guys im really thinking about buying the oneplus 3.
but when i compare the oneplus one vs the oneplus 3 i cant see a lot of differences.
IPS LCD - Super AMOLED
13 megapixels - 16 megapixels
autofocus - Optical image stabilization
Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 - Qualcomm Snapdragon 820
3 GB RAM - 6 GB RAM
3100 mAh - 3000 mAh
LTE, UMTS - LTE-A Cat 6
microUSB - USB Type-C
180€ - 400€
So nobody need 6gb ram, the 801 is good enough for daily use. Saving half the price for a bigger battery and less camera pixels, sounds like a fair deal. What do you thin and did i missed something?
NFC, faster GPU , dash charge , slimmer , sexier , the list goes on , get the one plus 3
after using op3 i would not look to op1.

oneplus one has nfc
if you read my post, even if the oneplus 3 is faster, the 1 is also able to play or use every app you want to even if it takes 2 more seconds to load big games
dash charge is not that important for me i always have a batterypack with me
moreover i can understand why thy try to build as thin as possible i would be fine with a thicker phone if it has a 4000mha battery inside.
something else i should consider?
carrier frequency bands and VoLTE are a pretty big change if youre in the USA and have Tmo or ATT
My Dad has the OP1 and I've just got the OP3... there is no comparison believe me! The 801 may have been a good chip over 2 years ago but the OP3 is blisteringly fast when comparing the two. Also screen is far more vibrant, contrasty and brighter, camera is definitely better, and although it has a smaller battery it's already clear from the other forum posts that the OP3 can provide a much greater screen on time than OP1. Also build quality is not comparable, the OP3 has even better build quality than my outgoing iPhone 6 Plus (no kidding!). Take the plunge, you won't regret it.

If you ask me the only thing the OPO was better in was CyanogenOS although oxygen also improved over time. Despite the smaller battery, battery life on the OP3 is on par if not better then the OPO for me. Since lollipop battery life was bad on OPO you know.
Dash charging en build quality alone is enough to buy the OP3 over the OPO
@k.s.deviate AT&T was supposed to have rolled out VoLTE by now, but we all know how carriers never follow through. By the time they do, something bigger and better already out...LOL.
@twinko most things are phased out by design to force you to upgrade. While the OPO is still a great device in my opinion, the lack of arm64 support may limit in development for the future. If you would like a future proofed phone for the time being, you'll need to get the OP2 or OP3. No one can say for sure, but Google may just stop making 32 bit Android altogether from this point. So unless you just want to stick with mm and below, this might also be something to consider.

VoLTE is rolled out, but ATT currently only supports certain devices.. Same with Rogers in Canada, they wont support a device that they don't sell.

VoLTE isn't completely rolled out in the US for all AT&T areas. I'm in California, and have not seen this service activated. Last conversation I had with a rep in my area said they won't even start upgrading towers around here for "a while," whatever that means. My previous two phones were VoLTE capable bought from AT&T and couldn't take advantage of it. My wife's current phone is less than 3 months old through them and we don't see it on there either. But you also have a very valid point. Me having to use my old phones imei to get LTE service is stupid, but they don't have the OP3 listed as a capable device so...

I think honestly the only plus point the OPO had now is the fact that it is more dev friendly.
It has more development as it is quite old now.
It has better speakers courtesy the stereo sound mod on XDA. Better display calibration aka Kernel auditor and better uniqueness.
That's to it in my honest opinion.

What to buy?

Hey guys,
I just wanted to ask if you could help me decide which phone to get for Christmas.
I am currently owning a Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 (Mtk) but the lack of development is driving me crazy. It's not a bad phone at all but still sticking to Android 5.0 or 5.1 in times of Android 7.0 is a nightmare for me who loves to have the newest OS for testing.
So my question would be: what phone should I buy with a Budget of maybe 400-450€. Is the oneplus 3 the phone to go with in terms of futureproof Updates or should I go for the Nexus 6p which apparently has a better Screen but only has the SD810 ? What would you buy? Reasons?
Thanks in advance
I was torn between the two a few weeks ago but went for the OP3 due to its size. :angel:
The 6P is just too big at the end of the day. :crying:
Its a really difficult future to predict. On one hand, you should defiantly go for the 6P due to its instant updates. On the other hand, Google may lessen there support for Nexus devices as there focus has changed with the Pixel. The 3GB of RAM and SD810 is also concerning.
The OP3 is a fantastic phone with blistering performance. If you buy this, you do so accepting that you will always be at least 6 months behind what is happening on the 6P. 2 years down the line however, the tables may turn due to the superior hardware of the OP3.
If you change your phone often, maybe the 6P is the way to go. If you don't, the OP3 is probably a better bet.
Thanks for your answer.
Maybe if the rumors are true Oneplus will present the 3+ till the end of the Year and this will lower the price of the 3, but I guess I will go for this phone as its Hardware in comparison to its price is unbeatable and I think the big Community is making the lack of instant Updates good.
Hope to see a fully working CM14 here soon

Good call Olli,
I'd go for the current OP3 as the OLED screen is really nice and would be better than an LCD especially if they don't upgrade the battery.

That's true even when they would Upgrade to SD821 and 2k Display. Because HD looks just as good.
Those rumors are already confirmed by Carl Pei to be false.
There won't be "refresh" version of OP3, next OP phone will be OP4.
Also OP will stick with AMOLED, they're done with LCD.
About your dilemma: I'd say OP3 is the best option in this price range. Community support is as good as for Nexuses and soon this will matter a lot more than official support.

OnePlus 3 has better performance in all areas, Nexus 6P takes better pictures (particularly in low light)
If you must have Nougat now, go with the nexus. I very much doubt there's a new OnePlus device due any time soon, and even if there was I don't think a significant price cut is on the cards (margins where thin enough to require a £20 rise at the beginning of sterlings collapse).

Is the OP3 performance better than the 6P or is it better than the 6P just because you can leave loads of apps in RAM and therefore have 0 launch time on the OP3?
It does beg the question.......What would a device be like with a SD410 and 16GB RAM? The slow SD410 may not seem slow as all apps could be left in RAM. The SD410 is also excellent when it comes to battery life.

I'm not even taking RAM and app re drawing into account. The OnePlus 3 is noticeably faster (especially the camera app)
I think i'll go with the OP3 as its more futureproof in my Eyes thank you all

I have seen speed test OP3 VS 6P and the OP3 smokes the 6P. This is when you are loading apps initially.

What is the biggest difference between OnePlus 3 and Oneplus 5

hi, dear all
if anyone can tell the biggest difference between Oneplus 3 and Oneplus5 ?
Gsmarena will tell you much better than us I think, there is a great comparison tool
I'd say the most strikingly obvious one would be the camera setup: the rear camera sports a dual-camera setup and the front camera has an upgraded specs in it (though I cannot speak for their quality since I have never personally tried them myself).
Going down from camera, there isn't much of a difference; The usual specs bump are there: new SoC (Snapdragon 835 vs OnePlus3's Snapdragon 820), more storage capacity which also happen to have more RAM (as long as you pick the 8/128 model).
If you're going WAY down, you can also spot upgrades like Bluetooth 5.0, the same battery capacity as the OnePlus 3T, and a very minor dual LED flash which upgrades over the single LED flash of the OnePlus 3.
Oh and of course, the updated design, but that's obvious.
Long story short, camera and SoC. With OP5 also being a bit more expensive.
If you're shopping, I'd say forget both and go for the new 5T (if budget allows). That screen alone is worth it. If not, you can't go wrong with either of older ones.

5T is too expensive, i will not consider it

Question So... Who's as excited as I am for this ?

This phone is a massive 90° turn for google as much on the software side than the hardware.
SO let me know:
1- Are you excited for the GP6 Pro?
2- Do you plan on buying it?
3- What the feature, following the leaks and the I/O that you anticipate the most?
For me :
1- YESSSSSS!!!!!!! (see the title)
2- I'd love to, I'll wait though. I want to see the firsts feedbacks before buying one.
3- To me, the whitechapel SoC really picked my interest a lot. It will either be a deception or a big nice surprise, don't disappoint me Google!
Yes, sort of.
Maybe. I have the Pixel 5: a meh phone, with useless VZ 5G so I turned it off. The only things I'm happy with are battery life, weight/portability, and that I didn't upgrade my plan to a 5G plan.
New in-house chip. I'm not holding my breath on "new and improved" because Google tends to let everyone down prior to announcement, so I'm expecting the same here.
Edit: To be fair, I flipped flopped on buying the Samsung Galaxy 21 Ultra for the camera. What keeps me with Pixel is their call screening. There's been so many of them, the call screening is the best.
I'm buying it the second it's ready!
I'm not excited bcz it has the same 8mp periscope that Vivo, Realme or ZTE etc are using

Lol and that shows some ignorance. Those other phones don't use Google's software processing for photos. And that's a HUGE deal.

We can atleast have GCam on other 8mp periscopic phones to get a similar output like GP6 pro. Hence wanted Google to have its in-house sensor or atleast get one from other sensor makers specifically for GP6 pro. PS: those other phone can atleast have GCam and I didn't ignore this.
I'm gonna buy it as soon as I can. I am still running my Pixel 2XL.
1- Yes, finally the Pixel phone we were waiting for.... Hopefully
2- Day One
3- Combination of the Whitechapel SOC and Camera setup. Still not the same amount as the 21 Ultra, one thing Google knows is how to get the best out of hardware they go with. We are talking about the potential capability of iPhone structure but with more modern tech throughout the phone.
I'm very excited as I am for most Pixel releases. I am buying the second it becomes available. I'm afraid if I wait, with the chip shortage, I might miss out if I don't act fast. I am really excited about the new chip and, hopefully, tight integration between software and hardware. I am also really excited for the triple camera setup. Between the nearly 1" sensor, higher resolution and Googles image processing software I am fully expecting them to retake the photo crown back from Apple.
I would like to see eSIM availability on day one. One National carrier, and eSIM for spare carrier/international travel. I sold my Samsung S21+ Unlocked because I couldn’t activate an eSIM!
I have currently a Oneplus 8 Pro. Camera is very average, with Android 11 they moved further away from stock Android, Updates come very slow now that there are newer Oneplus devices (had november security patch until mid february, then we got january patch instead of february...)...
I am so excited for Pixel 6 Pro, as this phone is finally a pixel phone that seems to make no compromises:
Tripple cam
Big Battery
120 hz
Great performance chip (not a hardcote gamer, so must not be top notch for me)
New camera senors...!
I think Pixel 6 Pro will crush it this year.. looks like a S21 Ultra with clean Android.. !! Nice!
But i guess the price tag will be huge, around S21 Ultra launch price (maybe just a little less)
I'm not excited. Mainly because ever since I bought the Pixel 1 and loved it, and used it until a year ago when I got a 512 GB Samsung, I was anticipating getting a 256 GB Pixel as my next upgrade once one was available. I waited four years and now, though, I wouldn't upgrade to another Pixel unless it had 512 GB of internal storage (or have a Micro SD slot, which won't happen with the Pixel). I like my music local and in FLAC, and have my entire library with me. I'm happy that they've finally decided to have 256 GB of storage as an option, but that just won't cut it for me anymore.
I'm extremely apprehensive about this, on one hand it's possibly the flagship Pixel that we've always wanted. On the other hand, it's running a custom chipset that's based on exynos. What does that mean for root access? It seems like exynos chips are always running behind on getting rooted and are generally less efficient than their Snapdragon counterparts. That's complicated by the fact that it's basically a bespoke chip now just for pixel phones.
We'll see, I'm currently holding on with my OnePlus 6t, but OP is dead to me going forward. I was planning on definitely switching to Pixel, but now I'm waiting to see how much access the dev community has to the device

Yes, Oneplus is really not what it once was anymore.
For Exynos Chipset: the exynos Chipset in the S21 Series is great. It is about on the same level than the Snapdragon. Some people even claim it has better battery life and doesnt heat up as much than the Snapdragon version.
Since the Pixel 6 Chip seems to be based on this Exynos Chip with some minor changes, i am sure it will be great!!
It is the first Exynos phone i would buy.
The difference between exynos and snapdragon s21 is not noticable anymore. I m pretty sure that performance and battery will be great.

True, while the gap is closing, there is still a gap. That's really not my main holdup, it's getting root without losing too many features.
Google has been tightening the reins on Android for years. Hopefully we will get full root access without many sacrifices, just need to wait and see
The last google phone I purchased was the Nexus 4 at release, then later I got a Nexus 9. The Pixel series has never interested me, especially design wise. If the P6P's renders are accurate it'll be my 1st google device in years.
I've been running Samsung devices the past few years because no Pixel hardware has really impressed me since the 2XL. The software has been great but hardware has been lacking. I desperately want to get back on the Pixel bandwagon and if all these leaks turn out to be accurate this will finally be the phone that does it! I'll be trading in my Note Ultra 20 on it. Wish we didn't have to wait til late September or October.
Yep...I am. I hope the Pro version has a flat screen instead of a curved screen though.

1. I'm stoked. Haven't been this excited for a Google device since the Galaxy Nexus w/Ice Cream Sandwich, though the Nexus 5 leak accompanied by KitKat ranks up there.
2. I plan on F5'ing the Google Store repeatedly as soon as the presentation starts, so yeah.
3. Whitechapel and, Material You (biggest software overhaul since 4.4). Also it seems like Google gives a darn about hardware now.
