I've wanted this phone for the longest time.
So, last Friday I was expecting delivery of a Note 4. I had gotten a killer deal @ $599 flat I get an email, that morning, from oppostyle, telling me the phone is now available in the US at a savings of $250 off. I know he phone is now a little bit older, but it is the one I had really lusted after. I had watched pre-release and then afterwards, dismayed it hadn't been released for the US market. With the price drop the phone is very attractive.
Anyway, I ditched the Note 4 and the Spigen case I'd bought for it, at my full cost and have ordered the Oppo 7.
Can't wait to get it.
New prices $499 and $399.
The oppostyle website is where they're available.
Did you get any notification regarding shipping? I just ordered mine today. I have a note 4 and I can't wait any longer for a root. It's never going to happen on the AT&T Note 4

Yeah, I got notice yesterday. It came in today. I'm setting it up now.
So you got it in less than a week? Also what provider are you setting it up for? Let me know how it goes with setup. Oh and congrats

Yes, ordered it on the 12th, came in today, the 18th.
Well, things happened really quickly once they got moving. But very little notice in between.
I ordered Thursday, 3-12-2015, and I got a notice saying they'd received my payment and order, and that they'd post a tracking # once it was available.
But things kinda "went dark" til late Monday, or so. Then yesterday I get a text message, from DHL, saying delivery was anticipated for today.

I'm setting it up for T-Mobile. Slapped the SIM from my Galaxy S3 and my 64gig mSDXC in there, put it in the case, put the battery in and voila.
The case that comes with it replaces the back cover ( put it away in a nice safe place you'll remember ). The phone walks you right through setup. Then just log into your Google account. Easy. Once I was setup, the phone let me know that there was an update available for the ColorOS and I went ahead and did that.
Oppo does a hell of a job packaging the phone. Very meticulous.
Going to be getting a different case than what comes with it, though. The flip style deal doesn't work real well for me, as the phone has to stay in my pants pockets. Still it is kind of cool. The installed screen protector is well fit, to the phone (kind of), but is of low quality. They include a different screen protector in it's own packaging and I'll be putting that on tomorrow. However, I'll be ordering a tempered glass one along with the different case, shortly.
Slim pickings for that, as they don't have the market saturation that iphones and Samsung devices do; so there is not as much monetary incentive to put a lot of 3rd party stuff out there. The choice of cases available is very limited.
Hope that helps.
-Scott
Great, Thanks for all of that. I actually checked back on their website and its marked as shipped. even though I didn't get an email regarding that yet. I have also ordered a tempered glass from amazon. My main goal is to get my Wifi Tether going on this phone. As I couldn't do that on my Note 4 because of no root options and to use Titanium Backup again. Enjoy your phone bro and thanks again.

Did you have to pay any duty or import fees here in the US? I was thinking about getting the 7a.

Nope the us doesn't have import taxes. I picked up a nice used one not Long ago and really like mine. And I've owned a one plus one before and this is much nicer. Its a real nice phone. But I think this is a better deal then the one plus one.
Hello, I want to change my actual smartphone and I'm really interested in buying the Oneplus 3 but I have some little questions. For now I'm in Italy, why the price is 399 euro here https://oneplus.net/it/3 and on ebay is more than 420 euro ? Is good to get it from that site ( https://oneplus.net/it/3 ) ? How I will pay for it and how long it take to get it ? Is good to get it or should i search other smartphones ?
Its better if you buy through an official channel. I'd say wait till 14th when Oneplus announces the new device with snapdragon 821. If its indeed a phone better go for that. In this price range, Oneplus is definitely the best phone and it has one of the best developers community.
Because the sellers on ebay want to make money of you back the only legit place to buy is oneplus.net.
Payment is via PayPal, you can see expected delivery just before you place the order.
Is it the best phone? For me it is, especially in this price range. A new phone by OnePlus is expected next week. You can order and cancel if you like the new one better.

Is the Oneplus.net their official site ? I mean, I can pay and not get the phone ? And if I order the phone, how much does it take to get delivered? Btw, I'm going to wait first to see the price of Oneplus 3t.
Yep, only delivery. I think they have some shops in India
you should probably wait for the oneplus 3T
O2 shop sells them in the UK? Maybe there is a local retailer in italy that sells them.
It was quicker for me to buy from O2 as its in stock rather than wait 5 weeks for Oneplus to get stock out!
It is safe to buy from oneplus.net site - I purchased my from there and everything's OK. They have excellent service too - my screen was malfunctioning and they arranged repair here in Germany. Apart from OnePlus you can check Xiaomi Max too - it seems is less expensive and with better hardware (and the screen is 6.44"). However OnePlus 3 is very good phone so You'll be excited how fast and stable is with CM13 based ROM
I am Italian too and I can guarantee that if you buy on their official site you won't have any problems
I've bought the phone for me and my partner and there isn't a better phone!
Also, if you love modding this phone is perfect for you! :good:
So, I have a gut feeling that Elephone is having a tough time producing this phone. Why,?
1) GearBest originally had a shipping date of Nov 23. This is now the middle of Dec and they currently have no stock. This is despite taking thousand of pre-orders. Every time I contact them they say it is packed and ready for shipping and to wait another 1-2 days . . rinse and repeat. In reality they have no stock.
2) Coolicool have moved their shipping date to the middle of Dec
3) The only reviews I see on the web are from (what appear to be) hand picked reviewers, or people just using the stock renders.
4) No one on Aliexpress appears to have got one despite thousands of orders.
Interesting for a phone which was supposed to start shipping a week ago.
I want mine!

I think Elephone underestimated the amount of pre orders they would receive and are shipping first to customers the purchased the S7 directly from them rather than stocking resellers.
I know Gearbest have the Black 4gb/64gb in stock - about 190 pieces left - for $229 as mine has just been shipped.
As for the other colours/configurations I'm not sure. However I do know the Blue 4gb/64gb is due in stock at both Gearbest & GeekBuying on the 11th Dec as I've spoken to them both.
I originally wanted a the Blue version but didn't want to wait until the new year to get the phone in my hands as it's a Xmas gift to myself (which I do every year) so I changed my order to the Black one which should be here by mid Dec.
So the moral of the story is if you want an S7 ASAP go check out the Black version at Gearbest.

The thing that really annoys me with GearBest is that they stated a shipping date when you pre-order, but clearly haven't secured the stock to do so. Now when contacted, they know they don't have stock, but won't admit to it. Instead it is "please wait 1 or 2 days more". Honesty goes a long way. I wonder if the other resellers got stuck with this too.
I'd be interested to know when your one arrives.
Mine is now marked as shipped. but I think GearBest are playing games again. If I go to DHL I can see a shipping label has been printed but the parcel hasn't actually been picked up from GearBest. Having worked in a number of companies closely associated with large despatching operations, I can't see why you would tell DHL (a priority shipping service) there is a parcel to pick up, then leave it sitting in Despatch for over 24 hours. . . More games.

My personal opinion is that Elephone hasn't delivered (so far) on it's promises to resellers. With the S7 looking like its going to be Elephones biggest ever seller - by far, I do think they gave all major resellers the same original delivery date and have struggled to ramp up production. I think this is the case as I've spoken to eFox, Geekbuying, Gearbest and Dealsmachine and they have all initially said they would deliver in late November and now they all all saying mid December.

I'll certainly post here when it arrives, although I went with standard delivery rather than DHL so not expecting it for a few weeks.

This is nothing new for Gearbest and is the reason I chose not to go with DHL, I've ordered a few products via this method with GB and its always taken 3-4-5 days from getting my tracking info for my package to physically enter DHLs system - I've also been hit with import tax a few times which has never happened to me with other shipping companies.
Finally, I hope your receive your device quickly and with no issues, be sure to keep us updated with the situation

So the plot thickens. . . .
Using the tracking information I could see that DHL got a shipping notification on the first day . . . . then everything stopped. I have had a lot of things shipped via DHL and other courier services and it is very unusual for a priority service to not update for 24 hours plus.
GearBest via support tickets and LiveChat, just kept telling me to wait 2 more days, wait 3 days for an investigation, wait 2 days for tracking information etc etc etc.
I ended up doing my own investigation by calling DHL on their local contact centre.
Result?
Singapore Customs were holding the phone with concerns that it contained hazardous materials. Specifically the DHL operator questioned whether the phone was a Samsung Galaxy Note 7. I suspect that the designs are so similar that Customs may be mis-identifying these units when x-raying them, as Note 7s are banned from all carriers. As GearBest are the shippers only they can update the shipping information to get it released.
So I contacted GearBest again and twice got "please wait 3-4 days for an investigation". I got a bit stroppy with them at this point and just got a notification through from DHL that the parcel appears to be moving again.
So if you see your Elephone S7 stop moving for an extended period of time on DHL. Start questioning it.
Thanks for the update.
It makes me wonder if Gearbest are writing 'S7' on the documentation and that's what caused the delay?
Also once the parcel has entered the shipping system there's not really too much Gearbest can do to help hurry to process along, unless its a documentation issue - But can see why this can be annoying.
Anyway, glad your package is in the move again, hope you get it soon.
Mine has just left HK airport so hoping it'll be arriving at the UK sorting centre in the next few days with no customs issues.......fingers crossed!
I ordered my S7 64GB via Gearbest on Oct 21, was delivered on 28th Nov to UK.
Given that 22nd Nov was the date which GB said the stocks will arrive, it was pretty fast delivery.
I shipped via Priority Mail some £1-2 extra & there was no customs charges.
(Using the 'courier shipment' option is known to attract customs charges. Best of luck.)

It was a documentation issue. SG Customs held it until the shipper (GearBest) finally contacted them to update the shipping information. They only did this after sitting on the issue for a week of me getting increasingly agitated with the "Please wait" responses from GearBest.

What spec and colour did you order? Apparently Elephone were very late delivering sufficient stocks of the Blue 64GB version and others.

Thought it might have been. The black has been in stock most of the way through.
I finally have my hands om my 64GB Blue model and I am quite impressed so far. Usually with Chinese electronics I purchase there always seems to be some quirk or weird behaviour that takes the gloss off the product. After 24 hours, I've yet to find one.
I preordered a green version, but it seems there are production troubles. This morning gearbest sent me a mail:
Thank you for your recent order at Gearbest.com
This is an update about following item:
We are sorry to let you know that we cannot ship it at this time
remain items
sku*quantity:199096209 * 1 , Elephone S7 5.5 inch 4G Phablet
199629301 * 1 , 3D VR Cardboard Glasses Virtual Reality Box

So, nobody knows when the green version will come out,
and after all the troubles with touchscreen, gps, no source code released i choose the refund. If the situation improve i'll buy it again.
It looks like they are expecting the mi mix 2 to be available in India Jan 24th 2018. My question is I believe these devices will ship with global preinstalled from the factory? If so I'm also assuming those of us that are lazy could wait and buy a version of the phone that has global preinstalled? It's been about 8 years since I last rooted and am not sure I want to mess with it again. Is what I stated accurate? Thanks

Hello,
Actually I think that it will be on sale in India starting tomorrow ! See http://www.mi.com/in/mix2/
Speaking of which, I am from Belgium and in 3 weeks I will be visiting Hyderabad for work for 15 days, and there seems to be a "Xiaomi Home" store 10 kilometers from my hotel ! Definitely I will have a visit.
Do you know if this is where we can have the best prices for any Xiaomi Phone ? Are they in general lower than on Gearbest or other online platforms ?

It is on sale, I've got one. That being said, make sure you check for the availablity of it in the Mi Homes as I think it might not be available there. If it is available there, it might cost Rs. 38,000 instead of Rs. 36,000 (this is just what I've heard about the Mi home pricing, I may be wrong on this).
On gearbest, this costs around Rs. 36,700 in sale without including shipping charges. So it is slightly cheaper to buy from India, though the bigger advantage IMO is that you're buying a sealed unit from the official seller, so you can be assured of a problem free experience.

just select the phone and then :-
1.) maximise the upfront cost (think £760 is max)
2.) drop the contract period down to the minium 3 months (from36)
3.) finally drop the amount of data each month to the mimium ( it starst off at 10g )
some people say you can cancel the contract straight after it starts so only end up paying 799 but im unsure if thats accepted within the contract or just a lack of checks that allow it.
Im happy to pay the mimium as its only 3 months
So the pre order deal for the headphones is now gone, due to them being out of stock. How are these out of stock already. Sony have really handled this situation so bad, in the uk only their direct website or o2 currently doing pre orders aswell. So by time carphone warehouse and vodafone have their pre orders all that is available is a free case not even another pair of cheaper noise cancelling headphones.
