Hello,help me please to decide which one to buy. OnePlus3
3 or OnePlus 3T. Will the devs release custom roms for the T version too ?
I'm pretty sure that 3T will be "supported" by xda-users so much as regular OP3 Just give it some days.
it's almost the same phone, only a little bit "supercharged" front cam, battery voltage, cpu. basicly even body have the same size. not worth to upgrade from regular op3, but if buying new device and pick between this two, i would choose 3t.
Thinking about getting one purely because I have to manage space a bit too often with only 64gb.

I saw in other posts that the devs will not upgrade to op3t so they will not make roms for that. Going to get the OP3.
Hi, I have G3. i bought it from China through Ebay. There is a problem with it 西村大一 said that the IPS started separating from the glass front. So I send it back and I have now two options to replace it with the same EU version with 32 GB or for 15$ more I can get G4. Before I had problem with G3 overheating issue with ARCTIC MX-4. So can you give me advice, which one to chose. The second thinks is that i have love mei case for G3 which means if I chose G4 i have to buy new one, well that is not a big deal. I have red for the G4 boot loop problem and the notification light, and sensor problems. Please share your experience and give me advice which one to chose. Thanks!
most of those g3s from China are refurbished.. and the often has screen issues like that..
my advice is, do not get those refurbished LG phones from China.. not G4.. and G4 is not even worth it.. if your budget is around $150-200 you can get redmi note 3, le 2, zuk z2, mi max or there are plenty of more choices..

Ok but the phone came with original box and was unopened. So I think that was a defective phone.
Stick with the G3. G4 is just a minor upgrade IMO, plus the G4 has other issues aside from the usual LG trademark poor quality solder and blazing sun temperatures on the Snapdragon SoC, like QC and some manufacturing defects.
Hello OnePlus XDA community, Henry here. I recently (today lol) sold my OnePlus 5 for a decent $420 in lieu of getting the OnePlus 5T. I bought the OnePlus 5 on release day (June 27th, 2017) and it has been my daily driver since. Now that it is sold, I am resulting back to my backup iPhone 6 Plus (a very slow phone might I add, but it is still quite the looker) I can get the OnePlus 5T for $503 with the student discount knocking off $50 from the 8GB/128GB model.
This post is to basically ask you guys opinions on upgrading from the 5 to the 5T, whether or not my choice and method of selling to get the next phone was a good idea, and any other discussions you would like to bring to the thread!
I have the 5 and just received my 5T today. I'm probably going to sell my 5 to offset some of the cost.
I'm loving the 5T, IMO the screen alone is worth the upgrade.
Well, I will "only" sell my 3T for my 5T, but since the 5 has exactly the same dimensions and display as the 5, I would say, yes, it might be worth it.
I bought the 5T mostly because of bezel-less design. And I love it. So if the bezel is an issue for you, an upgrade to 5T makes sense. Especially seeing how little OP paid for it. 80 bucks for better display and body-to-screen-ratio? Hell yeah.
Since you were able to get such a decent amount of money for the 5... You made a fine choice.
mate 10 pro is $799 but also free $150 gift card
better camera than oneplus 5t

I think this is a price thing, if you don't care about the money you can choose the "little" better huawei...
but if you are not keen on amoled screens, I think the mate 10 without pro is the better choice.
Buy the 5T not because someone on XDA in the 5T forum says so but because Huawei is a really crappy company! Huawei already abandoned the Honor 8 that came out last year with great specs, they said in can't handle Oreo which is a blatant lie! They would rather sell you a new phone which I'm sure a lot would rather do but geez have some class!

While I don't disagree, your reasoning isn't exactly fair. Honor is a budget brand and similarly priced devices released around the same time also do not have Oreo
Not that the Honor 8 didn't get Oreo yet, it's NOT getting it! Huawei said the Honor 8 can't handle Oreo basically which is a lie. The Honor 8 has better specs than several phones running 8.0, and its not a budget handset by any measure.
I was in the same dilemma
the camera I'd say is better on the OnePlus 5t simply because it is smarter what I mean that there isn't auto hdr on the mate yes the hardware is better and more reliable on the mate but I just hate EMIUI
the selfie on the mate is a complete garbage on of the worst the oneplus's selfie is better
the software experience on the oneplus is far better which is the most important thing to me
the EMIUI is like 2 years old with the same crappiness which I can't live with
the htc 10 which was launched in 2016 along with 3/3t and galaxy s7 all are tipped to get oreo update unlike huawei
also the development community in the huawei is very weak so you can't even depend on that after official support ends
camera on the mate 10 isnt great. more oil paintings, bit like the 5T.
battery will be better though, updates about the sames as 5t and if you're in the uk can can get the mate 10 pro from carphone warehouse for £529 at the mo!
I like the specs of Huawei / Honor phones, but hate their EMIUI. Had one phone with it and it was just so horrible ugly and bloated.
Almost pure Android is much better.
Well... If you are willing to pay $800+ I'd suggest you to wait for Samsung S9. Huawei appeared out of nowhere and started selling phones for the high price just because specs are good on a paper. I personally have OnePlus 5T 8gig variant and I am satisfied with what I got for under $600. I can't say if camera is better or worse than Huawei mate 10 Pro but 5T does the job for me and higher mpx dont always mean better camera. Buy 5T and I am sure you wont regret but it is always your personal choice. We can tell you anything here.

without $150 gift card I won't think about huawei,btw just order 8gb 5t will get it tomorrow. I had oneplus one for 3 years,love oneplus.[emoji4]

ive had both
cant go wrong with either both are good
if you are keen on development then get the oneplus 5T as the mate 10 pro is a pain in the royal behind to download and flash things
I've had most Android devices. I go through them like water. The mate 10 pro was great hardware, but software made it unbearable for me. I've been using my red OP 5t for a few weeks now. I really love it especially with the Oreo update and gestures. I'm gonna stick with it as my DD until the S9+
After reading this thread im going to have nightmares about update.apps and software install failed. I will never spend another penny on a Huawei product....most finicky devices known to man.
Oh yea, get the 5T :good:

I left Samsung for OnPlus because of Samsung's unlockable bootloader. Was with Samsung for 12 years, just this year switched to OnePlus for more custom options. However, customize with caution. Do your research first before making a move. Won't go wrong with OnePlus.

Do your research, read read read, like the rest of us have done. Shouldn't expect us to do the research and all the work that goes into it and then give you the answer. It will only open you up to more questions.....for us.
No I know that but where the link to the latest rom so I could have a look at them
Here...

It is still worth buying. With A11 or A13 (not A12), it is equal to anything in the market now. I would go for either the first or the last one in your list, depending on the budget.

OnePlus had them on site for $399 brand new but sold out. Maybe they will have more. Ebay and amazon had some stock at $349 last week, also brand new.
$662 seems pretty high. I bought mine before they went on sale. It was $469 (Tmo) brand new on eBay. You can probably find a better deal than $500 pre-owned, depending on region
Amazon Germany had a 20% off warehouse deal on Cyber Monday which came out to €464 for a used one in very good condition (12gb/256gb variant). I would not pay more than that.
The OnePlus 9 Pro is still definitely a good buy, even if you stick with OxygenOS 11 or 13 (skip 12, as @TNSMANI said). It's definitely a good buy if you want to eventually dabble in the world of custom ROMs, as the 9 Pro has excellent support in that area compared to the OnePlus 10 series, which has almost none (last time I checked, anyway).

But here, in India the prices are like I mentioned before. My other options are a used 7T for $200-250. Then OnePlus 9R, Poco F4 (unsure about the cam quality compared to 7T) or Pixel 7 series (too expensive, literally can't think of now :/ )

I see but I couldn't find any good deals during these Black Friday days and cyber Monday. I too don't want to spend this amount for a pre-owned or box pack of 9 Pro.

Yes, have the same thoughts. I had the best phone I ever had, OnePlus 7T, till a month back, it's main board died then. So my new phone should be equal or better than 7T by specs, with nearly zero bloatwares, root friendly that doesn't tamper the warranty (only if I'm buying one with warranty), can install modded apps incl. GCam, have custom ROM support (now or whenever it won't get newer official ROMs; found many custom ROMs for 9 Pro), and also able to factory reset the ROM manually (10 series still don't have MSM Download Tool support if I'm correct).
Other options matching these criteria are Poco F4 (unsure about the cam quality when compared to 7T), and Pixel 7 series, but they are too expensive.
In that case, if you can spare the cash, buy
"A pre-owned 12GB, 256GB without any warranty for $490"
Because 12GB Ram could mean better longevity/viability.
I've just got myself one. There are good deals to be had on open box items from Amazon Warehouse Events (10% off earlier, 20% off now). Also went for the 12/256 version but because of the storage not the RAM: I think 12 GB on a phone is ridiculous (not that I mind having it though).
The hardware is excellent. The phone is a bit bulky but all of its size is put to good use as it has an amazing and nearly bezel-less screen. It feels premium to the touch and is still reasonably slim. The only drawback is that (in common w/other SD888 devices), battery life (specifically screen-on time) isn't great. But at least it's fast to recharge (from 0% to 100% in 30').
I bought it for use with LOS as it's a well-supported device. It lives up to my expectations. The custom ROM scene is lively. I'm not sure I'd recommend it to people who just want to run stock OS though. I haven't used stock much myself before flashing LOS and I'm probably biased anyway but the impression is that a lot of the userbase is unhappy about how the things are going, and the general quality of the updates.
It'd be hard to recommend getting into the mess that Color/OxygenOS seems to be now when you could simply get a Pixel 6a, also with a decent camera, better battery life, and next to no software issues whatsoever, for nearly half the price. This is what I got for a relative who just wants things to work, with updates.
Still, the OP9 Pro is a great device to tinker with, if that's what you enjoy. And if you're here on XDA then you probably do.
