Hi guys.. I want buy an oneplus 3 or 3t...
Which is the best for roms modding?
And which version/model?..
I mean global or european? (I'm from italy...)
64gb or 128gb?..
I don't know this phone and this is the first time that I will buy an oneplus... Please help me ^^
Doesn't really matter which one you get, phones are nearly identical. Main differences - T version has a bit bigger battery (3400mAh vs 3000mAh), higher resolution front camera and slightly faster CPU (S821, the 3 has S820). In real life those differences are pretty much negligible.
As far as development goes it also doesn't matter. All note-worthy ROMs, kernels, etc. are unified, meaning they can be installed on both versions.
64GB vs 128GB is completely up to you. You should know the best how much storage you need. I have 64GB and it's more than enough for me.
EDIT: forgot to mention, global and EU is the same model - A3003 - that's the one you'll need in Italy. The other ones being Asian (or just Chinese?) and US models (both A3000).

Obviously OP3T is better in autonomy terms.
It represents an enhanced OP3: 3400 mAh vs 3000 mAh, then a more efficient SoC (Snapdragon 821 instead of 820).
You could find it only as used product (without warranty), because it was retired from the market almost 1 year ago.
If I'm not wrong, even Oneplus 5 is just retired in favor of Oneplus 5T.
Bros, what you guys thinking of buying 7T now? My main criteria is custom ROM development support but only OmniRom and AOSiP (alpha) is there now. Since four models are released in a very short period this year and the 7 Pro is the one with so many custom ROMs like about 15+. None of the other have even more than 3 (OP 7). I want to buy the new one very soon because my current device has fallen from a very height and many parts need to be replaced.
I'm surprised at the lack of development myself, but I assume it's because of how new Android 10 is and the whole issue with TWRP. Might be the same on other Android 10 devices. With that said, I'm pretty happy with rooted OxygenOS atm -- even if other ROMs were available, I'm not totally sure I'd switch over.
The price for a new 7T and pre-owned 7 Pro is the same here. The size and weight of 7 Pro is a bit larger that's why I'm thinking of 7T but lack of custom ROMs is pulling me away. My current Z2 has large development support that's why I can't think of anything without custom ROM support. Another option is to buy a new K20 Pro for a lower price. Or a pre-owned 6T (same price as the new K20 Pro).
Bros, decided to buy a pre-owned 7T 8GB 128GB for $400. Found out that it has almost everything I like and doesn't have something I hate. I hope the development support will pick up anytime soon ?
Just got my 7T!!! And it's an amazing device.. ??
Yeah, I just bought a used 7t. Really thought I would go for the 7 Pro, but having looked into it, I'm not sure why anyone would. The 7t has all of the best bits of the 7 Pro [emoji106][emoji3]

Yes bro, 7T has almost everything which I wanted and lacks only a very few things. Like it has a
+ non-popup camera so faster fact unlocking
+ 90Hz of course
+ stereo speakers
+ 3 cameras with a wider one and now with a super-macro mode
+ OIS
+ less weight compared to 7 Pro
+ 855+
and pretty much everything a flagship needs. The only thing I miss is the QHD display. I have a VR/AR device so I wanted to use it for watching movies like in a theatre. The QHD display has less pixelated view compared to fHD for this use. But compared to other specs it is not a deal.
Redmi Note 8 Pro or Realme 5 Pro. Going to buy one of these very shortly.
1. Which one would you buy and why?
2. Which one offers best support /updates?
3.Which one would offer best second hand resale value in 12 to 18 months time? Thanks in advance!
Edit - RNP8 is 6/64gb while Realme is 8/128gb. I'm in Ireland but will probably buy from amazon Spain or Germany as its cheaper.
1) well it really depends on what exactly your uses will be. But the RN8Pro has nfc support, slightly bigger battery, higher camera megapixels both front and rear, they both have fingerprint sensor, RN8Pro comes with Gorilla Glass v5 vs the v3 realme comes with, but the Realme comes with a slightly higher display pixel density. I personally have never had a realme, but I used to have a RN3Pro and now have an RN8Pro and I am very satisfied.
2) again I've never had a realme so I cannot comment on the support/update aspect. The Realme does come with a snapdragon chipset so if you were ever unsatisfied with the stock rom you would have plenty of custom rom options. That being said if you are also looking into custom rom I have been told from the founder of posp that they will soon release an build for the RN8Pro being the first and only custom rom for the device.
3) both of these devices have a very low price. a year from now, and used would cost very little. So neither would get a high return if sold 12 to 18 months from now.
But overall in my opinion I would go for the RN8Pro.

Hi, I want to update my 6T.
I don't know which one is better, OP 9Pro or S21 Ultra?
What do yo guys think?
Why I like OP 9 Pro?
- Snapdragon 888
- Thinner
- It comes with super charger
- Lighter
Why I like Samsung S21 Ultra?
- Cheaper (Exynos versión $877 12gb - 256Gb) divided at 9 monthly fees without interest.
- Better camera
Which one will you buy if they were at the same price?
Do you know if Samsung launch faster updates than OP or is it the opposite?
Thanks and sorry for my english
I had both in my cart and chose 9pro. I paid 800 usf for it. The s21 ultra is 1200 usd. The 9 pro has the same processor and everyone talked crap about the camera, but I think it's pretty good. They have same 5g processor. Samsung has micro sd slot which I got away from years ago. Samsungs touchwiz is something I don't care for after having 2 phones a s7edge and a note 10 very laggy(uses a lot of resources). If you want the best camera on a phone buy a nokia or Google phone.
I have also owned a 6t and 7tpro mclaren version phones.
At the current prices, I'd take the S21 Ultra. Having used both Samsung and OnePlus phones, I think Samsung provides a more polished product. I'm not saying that the OnePlus 9 Pro is a bad phone, but it doesn't seem like a good value compared to the competition at the moment. Heck, a brand new OnePlus 8 Pro is $599 through OnePlus right now and has virtually all the same qualities. The reports of overheating and unstable software don't help the 9 Pro either. If it gets a discounted price in the coming months, then it may be a more compelling option.
I'd probably take the Ultra. It's a better device all around, but to me it's a bit TOO big. Updates will be faster with the Ultra, Samsung has consistently been putting out monthly updates since the S10. The device will also be supported longer, if you keep your phones for a few years.
OP 9 pro. In my country Samsung sells s21 ultra with exynos processors So no thanks.. If it would have snapdragon I would've choosen s21 ultra
The main complaint about the Exynos is that it gets hotter. Well, the OP9 Pro overheats anyways, so there's no real difference. Oh, and people complain about the Exynos being 0.0xxx% slower, like they could actually feel the difference.

Yeah I hear the exynos is just about as good as this year's 888 and it's almost impossible to tell the difference.

I haven't had any problems with overheating of the OnePlus 9 pro yet. In what situations should this happen?
Both the Exynos and SD888 run hot and throttle. Here is a pretty good breakdown and comparison of the 2 chips: https://www.anandtech.com/show/16463/snapdragon-888-vs-exynos-2100-galaxy-s21-ultra
More worrisome for the Exynos is its weird clock behaviour, with the new chip really struggling in maintaining its peak frequencies other than for very brief moments – the Snapdragon 888’s X1 core had no such issues. My Exynos S21 Ultra chip bin was quite terrible here, but the better silicon on my second S21 doesn’t improve things too much either.

Basically, the Exynos can run as well as the SD888 in terms of peak performance, but that's partially because Samsung is running it overclocked and it gets HOT. Yes, the SD888 gets hot and throttles, but the Exynos gets hotter sooner, drains battery, and the GPU just sucks (and equally power hungry).
Thanks to everybody for your help. I've decided by S21 Ultra because of the price. Here un Argentina i can get it for less money.
I'm a Oneplus follower but this time, my wallet choose.
As a person that has owned an S21 Ultra since it was launched in the USA, I would choose the OP 9 Pro. I have just ordered one through tmobile and can't wait!
Personally, the S21 Ultra was primarily used for youtube vanced, browsing, and as a business cell. I highly value the software and prefer OP's Oxygen OS over OneUI, hence why I'm replacing the S21 Ultra.
Both phones are great and you can't go wrong with either, but software matters the most to me and I didn't think I'd miss OOS as much as I have.
I know OP already made the decision.
Here in the US the OnePlus is cheaper.
I found a mint 9 Pro for $900 with the original receipt and unused buds.
The S21 ultra is about $1000. But can't be rooted unless I spend $150 for a bootloader unlock. That makes it more than $1300 because I have to pay tax on the phone.
Too rich for my blood.
Samsung with Exynox, NO !
Samsung full of Bloatware! Bleah! Oxygen is one of the cleanest Android OS.
I saw many reviews about camera with S21ultra & OnePlu 9 pro. S21 is better, but not by a lot.
I prefer the the OnePlus here in the usa and the Global 7pro, 8pro, 9pro have worked out well for me with T-Mobile!
Actually I prefer the camera of the OP9 Pro over the Mi11 Ultra and the S21 Ultra. The other two might be better for you if you need 10x Zoom very often.
OS and updates? Samsung has quick updates as well, but Oxygen OS from OnePlus is just so clean and close to stock imo. Xiaomis MIUI is pretty good as well - though I had so many bugs on my mi10 pro which haven't been fixed. And they don't update that often or the OTA doesn't work that well - I was on October 2020's android security version until April 2021.
Charging and battery: OnePlus and Xiaomi charge much faster than Samsung. Battery life is probably really close between those 3.
Rooting the Samsung will break Knox with all it's downsides. A lot depends on your preferences but I would go with the OnePlus.

Depends. Are you an Android lover or a nonce. ?
In my country
S21U no warranty imported Snap888 (256GB not 128GB) = 1,014 USD
S21U retail 1yr warranty Exynos = 826 USD
OP9P no warranty imported RAM8/256GB = 839 USD

9 pro over exynos s21U. Coz exynos sux, oneui is another meh. software is pretty meh on samsung after android 11. If you getting sd s21U then maibe. If you more concerned on the camera than anything else then go for samsung
Don't Leave out the charging speed.
50w wireless.., not many phones does that with cable plug in.
65w cable charging, is even faster. Awesome.
Looking at upgrading and was wondering if it's worth buying a oneplus 9 Pro what is battery life like how long it last

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...
OnePlus 9 Pro
The OnePlus 9 Pro is a 6.7" phone with a 1440x3216p 120Hz display. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 chipset is paired with 8/12GB of RAM and 128/256GB of storage. The main camera is 48+8+50+2MP and the selfie camera is 16MP. The battery has a 4,500mAh capacity.

It still worth buying? A new 12GB 256GB with complete OnePlus warranty for $662?
These are the OP 9 Pro options I have..
A pre-owned 8GB, 256GB with 4 month OnePlus warranty left for $416
A pre-owned 12GB, 256GB without any warranty for $490
A refurbished 12GB, 256GB with 6 months Cashify warranty for $605
A brand new 12GB 256GB with complete OnePlus warranty for $662

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.
