Oneplus 3 or Oneplus 4?

So far I'm planning to buy a oneplus 3 on Christmas but earlier today i read an article about the oneplus 4 https://amp.ibtimes.co.uk/oneplus-4...-include-8gb-ram-merged-os-experience-1582897
They said that the oneplus 4 might release next year around april or may. So the question is should i wait until next year for the oneplus 4 or should i still get the oneplus 3?

Do you need a new phone? Buy it.
Don't? Wait.
It's not rocket science.

sigh. Might as well get the pixel 2

What i mean is if the op 4 will have similar or better performance, better design and better features as the op 3 to be worth the wait. To you it may not be rocket science, but for other people it could be a hard decision cuz you never know if the op4 could turn out bad than the previous one (although it might be unlikely).

Actually it's still a easy decision. If you honestly want a phone or need one now, make your purchase. If you wanna wait for something better to come out then wait. The OnePlus 3 is really not a bad phone compared to the OnePlus 2 and the limitations of the OnePlus X (Which I have)

Most phones have a 'shelf life' of 6 months before the next iteration comes out so it depends like everyone else says whether you need it now, or can wait. With any phone, you can keep waiting for the 'next' greatest one from any company... it just depends when you need it.

Just buy one used on Swappa for a good price and sell it and get a op4 if it turns out it's a good phone. Me personally I am going to sell my op3 when the pixel XL is released and drops in price.

How do you think any of us will know the answers to these questions now?

Just bought OP3 last week.
So far, the best decision i ever made.
I really love this phone.

Just love everything about this phone..

Pixel Growing Old?

Ok so I don't know if I should have this discussion here or not but here it is.
How many are tired of their pixel I have a XL and Pixel both are unlocked and on stock they was originally on pure Nexus and at first I loved this phone but here lately I hardly even use my phone when I had my note 5 I always used it but idk if it's because I am getting older or what but I think I'm going to sell my pixels and move on to another device . Anyone else getting a lack of interest in the pixel?

Agree, you're getting older.

You probably should've researched your phone buying choice more

The beautiful thing about the Pixel is that everything just works. I have an S8+ and don't really use it because it's just not a smooth experience. I also just got a OnePlus 5, and it's not really a match either (worse display & camera).

Your Pixel is not growing old.... you are.

I love EAS the only reason I don't use other devices as a daily but the poor Speakers/Audio output is a killer for me for now I can deal with it since I use an External DAC but it's not convenient I hope Google addresses audio for the next Pixel

I have had alot of phone and there are only a couple phones tht i think would never loose the beauty of the device if only there was a way to update them and that is th MYTOUCH Fender Edition it was a phoe that stood out design wise i just miss that. the pixel it is great software wise but design wise it just seems lacking after a 6 months .

Have you any idea how ridiculous your op is? There was no insult I was just mirroring your mature thoughts about growing old. Leave it at that and buy another device. You're getting older and this device is just not for old folks.

I think all you Pixel lovers are going to be in for a rude surprise when these start failing in large numbers like the Nexus 6P did. This phone is poorly engineered and runs way too hot internally. Unless Google has managed to reinvent the wheel high temperatures and electronic components have never been a good combination. The Pixel also has truly dreadful speakers. The 6P sounded so much better Google should really be ashamed. They're charging 300 dollars more for a device that runs much hotter than the 6P and which actually sounds worse than a garbage phone that my friend got for 30 dollars at the Cricket Store. I honestly think Pixel owners are in complete denial when it comes to this phone. Yeah the Pixel runs fast and smooth but the CPU gets so hot to achieve that performance that you'll probably have to buy a new Pixel every two years.

I have no problem with Pixel manufacturing or design, aside from the frame not being glued to the screen in the top right corner, which every Pixel device has, no idea why.
My problem with Pixel is that it is a dumb phone compared to something like Note or even Galaxy. All it does is browse the internet, that's it. It does browse very fast, but I could have gotten an iPhone if I wanted a fast dumb phone...

Not a bright OP really, stuttered to figure the English out anyway.
No, not tired of the phone, seven months old mine, and I love it. Best android phone I've ever owned, all I ever wanted was smooth android and Pixel is the first one fulfilling my need, so I'm gonna keep it for as long as I can unless I am really sold to the next iteration. Garbage UI like Samsung and LG's exists, making Pixel the so much better phone anyway.
Pardon the troll above mine, as always.

Lmao the fact people can't take a joke and differentiate between a joke and seriousness is sad.... my op was a serious question all of you who had to make a attempt at being funny ruined a real conversation. It's funny that's y'all was ok with being a prick till it got turned around on you. This is the internet so best not get offended over pettiness. I still stand by my op. It's sad you can't have a conversation these days without some smart as es who gotta ruin it for everyone.....
The pixel could have been alor better idc who you are but is my opinion you could have contributed to this post instead you had to try and be funny. As for the conversation it's still open is like to hear you thoughts

Chances of Pixel 2 XL selling out?

I don't see any benefit with pre-ordering it as I will be waiting weeks till I actually get my purchase and I can pass on the google home mini so I rather just buy it when it actually releases but I don't want to be in the same situation as others had when the Pixel XL released. So if anyone can help me decide if I should preorder or if I should be good when the Pixel 2 XL actually releases. Im hoping Google learns from their mistakes and makes enough Pixel 2 XLs for everyone:fingers-crossed: also I plan on getting 128gb btw if that helps. Thanks!

If it's been like every other year, you can guarantee it. You can set your watch to it. Ordering problems, whatever you can think of.
It's going to be a cluster ****. So, if you want one, take tomorrow off work and be prepared to get a new F5 key or keyboard.

I m optimistic that this year will be better than last. After at least a couple years now where Google has had a hard time keeping stock, they've hopefully learned their lesson. They dumped a bunch of money into LG's screen division this year, hopefully to help up production. Also, the pixel 2 will have a more typical development window (maybe) than the pixel which went from concept to production in an un characteristically short amount of time. Finally, while LG is no Samsung, I think they are bigger than HTC with greater production capabilities. Hopefully these things add up to a better stock of phones at release. Of course, there are no guarantees.

I've pre-ordered every year and have always had a negative inventory experience! Guess we'll find out soon if this launch is different...

Placed my order for Pixel XL 2 during the show.
Shipment 1 Delivery October 19–October 20
Pixel 2 XL (64 GB, Just Black)
$849.00
Quantity: 1

Its already unavailable!

I ordered mine during the event as well, 2 XL 128GB just black. I was going to go with the 64gb version but looked at my phone and saw I would only have about 20gb left if mine was 64gb (I have a 128gb currently). That is one years worth of use on my Pixel XL and I haven't removed anything from my device. I think I would rather have less than 50% used than more than, so wasted the extra $100.

Pixel 2 128XL Black pre-ordered 11:15pst, Ships around Oct 17...

I'm holding off on buying 2 XL until enough user feedback shows Google solved the LTE cellular data thing.

100% chance. They probably have like 5 in stock right now.

A bit off topic.
Did you guys saw that there were 3 phones on the Google family photos.
And in the live demo the appointment Pixel Ultra.
Maybe the leak last week was true or Google saw it and is making a huge joke.

I dont think that 3rd phone was the ultra. It had a case on it so I think they were just showing off the case.

Preordered 2 XL's 128GB's in the Panda color, says Nov 8-9th for date

google screwed up this phone with those bezels so they won't be running out of stock since people are leaning towards the s8+ note 8..

I experienced the same $#!+ show I expected after being a part of the Nexus 5, 6P, and Pixel launch. I tried for hours to get a black and white 2 XL to go through the checkout process. As always, you can thank the garbage people of eBay.

Anyone who thinks S8 is better than Pixel XL is ignorant.

I casually ordered a black XL a while after it went live, had 0 issues and it is suppose to be delivered between Oct 24th and 27th.
Really looking forward to finally having something worth upgrading from my Nexus 6.

'Upgrade' S8 to Pixel 2 now?

Had S8 since launch, so just under a year.
I really want a Pixel for stock Android, and the camera. Not sure if I should do it, or keep the S8 for another 8 months and see what the Pixel 3 is like.
Cons for getting the Pixel are the lack of wireless, headphone jack, Samsung screen and design.
Pros are stock Android, guaranteed, fast updates, better Assistant integration, that camera.
If I get the Pixel, I'd buy on contract. £38 for 2 years, 15GB data, unlimited texts and calls. That's £912.
I bought my S8 outright, and I have a separate plan. So £680 + £15 a month for a year is £860. And that's only for a year, and I get 1000 calls, unlimited texts and 6GB data. So in the long run the Pixel is a cheaper offering (while the offer is on) than me buying my phone's outright.
Is it worth me getting the Pixel or would I just keep a hold of my S8?

I did it a month ago. It hasn't been one single moment of regret about what I did.
So, the Galaxy 8+ (D855) + QC Samsung wireless Charger (EP-PG850) are on sale now (570 EUR)....
At the end ... I was speaking for myself, so no advice from my side to do it or not.

Ah cool there's a few who have done it ha. Do you miss the screen/super slim bezels/wireless charging/headphone jack?
Are you guys gonna keep a hold of it for while? See if I get it I'll be tied in for 2 years. I mean sure I can sell my S8 and put it towards paying it off but dunno.

I plan on holding onto mine for at least the 3 years that Google has guaranteed support for. Since project treble makes it easy to run later builds of AOSP, I imagine there will be tons of community support after that time too. It's the perfect phone in my opinion. My only complaint is that there isn't anything that I want to change. No reason for me to tinker.

Ive never used any of that stuff so i cant miss it.
Hate the stupid curved screens on the Samsung's so dont miss that one bit.
I buy at least 3 devices per year, not sure how long i will keep the pixel. If roms dont start dropping probably not that long. Then again i dont sell all my old stuff so it may hang around for awhile just because i like it alot despite no development

Can not agree more....
My S8+ was a Sammy phone after 4 years. The first thing I discovered was the awful dialer, when installing 40 app, lag showed up, had to do all sort of things to get Adhell running and disable bloatware...literally it was a 2 weeks project to at least satisfy my needs. At the beginning it had a bug in software, so it was barely usable for phone calls almost 2 months.

There's only one thing holding me back from ordering.
One, yeah I'll be committed for two years. Well unless I sell the phone and keep the contract running and then just buy a new phone, and also the fact there's the S9 out in two months and the Pixel 3 in 9.

And also wait to see if the exynos S9 has the same OEM unlock issue as the note 8. That will be a deciding factor for many of us I think.

I love my Pixel 2 XL, the camera + photo and video backup at original size for free for 3 years and you keep whatever you saved after + and updates for 3 years did it for me. The blueish tint on white from the sales doesn't bother. I never look at it from the side lol.
I thought I would miss some features from my Honor 8 or HTC 10 but this stock build is perfect for me. The camera though...... Damn it's nice lol

Question in regards to which pixel to buy

Due to my situation over the past few years I've been using the Samsung Galaxy Active line, S7 active now actually. So that really put a damper on my rooting and rom flashing which I had been a big part of since the Samsung Galaxy S, Captivate on AT&T. Anyway I'm in a position to be be able to switch to a Pixel in a month or so but I don't know if I should go for the 3xl or save some money and get the 2xl, which seems like it's still quite a solid device. My most important concern is still having plenty of development for the xl2 after the 3 has been out for a while. I'd like wireless charging but not a deal breaker and since I think the camera on my S7 active is adequate I'm sure the camera upgrade between the 2xl and 3xl wouldn't be huge to me. I would greatly appreciate any opinions.
Thanks

If you are running out of money i recommend you pixel 2 xl though pixel 3 xl is worth it ... At any rate you wont regret it both.

Go for the 3 XL, they improved so many things.
Especially the display.
If you don't have a previous pixel device, get the 3XL

Thanks for the replies guys. I'll be financing the phone through Google so the extra 10 bucks a month or so isn't that big of a deal. But getting the cheaper phone would make it easier to upgrade sooner if I could pay it off earlier. I really just want a phone that has a lot of development that I don't have to pay for in full because I don't have that ability. The only thing that's a slight disappointment on both is the battery size. My S7 active has a 4000 mah battery and it's generations behind. I know processors have gotten more efficient and such but still my S7 active is years old and still has one of the largest batteries in any phone.

Yeah, not really an option as my current situation makes where I would need to finance the phone, like through Google. I don't think that is an option with OnePlus. Would like to be wrong though.

I'm very happy with the 2XL, which will get much of the good stuff from the 3 over the coming weeks. If you can get it for a really good saving over the 3, that's the way to go. The 3 is an incremental upgrade.

Ill agree with this. I just bought a 2XL second hand and absolutely love the device! If you are financing it though and can afford it, may as well get the 3XL.

That's kind of what I'm thinking. It's about $9 more a month to get the 3XL instead of the 2XL. I wish I could go compare the 2 phones side by side though. Every VZW store I've went to in my general area hasn't gotten their display Pixel 3s yet. They have to the phone to sell but none on display.
Thanks for all the replies guys.

Make sure you get the Google edition and NOT the verizon one if you want to get back to ROMing and Rooting. You cannot do these things if you get the vzw one, even if you get it from google.
