So who is not satisfied with their OnePlus 5 and wants to return is using the 15 day no-hassle return system. If you can please state your reason why.
I'm not returning it, because my unit is not defective, and it's a great phone. Sure, it's not perfect, and the camera isn't that it was hyped to be, but it's still an amazingly snappy phone at a not unreasonable cost.
You should have an option for not returning as that's the question you've asked.
for design reasons '? really ? you guys need a kick on your head...
I'm still testing my phone but for now, i'm really not impressed by the camera. After 7 years of using iPhone i finally decided to buy an Android phone. OnePlus 5 is a beast in terms of performance. But even my iPhone 6 can make better photos sometimes and video recording is all blurry and can't focus at all. If I keep OP5, i will keep it just for near stock android experience but i'm not sure yet. Maybe i will wait for Pixel 2 and hope for some reasonable price.
returned, camera *****
other things ok
Really? You guys knew what the phone was like before you bought it.

No i didn't know that the camera can be so bad i. I can't record any video without having focus issues. Even the code was Clearer Photos but it's not the case at all.
im very happy with the phone and camera. However, I came from the Honor 8 to this one, so the upgrade was extreme. And both cameras on this phone seem to be working extremely well after the update released yesterday(or saturday?). with that said video recording might still need some tweaking in 4K mode without using a stabilizer aside from that, i have no good reason to return this phone.
i don't know why people are bashing on the phone for terrible photo's? especially after the update from yesterday the phone makes pretty good images. would love to know a phone which has a better one under 500 euro's

true .. funny thing is, the camera will probably get alot better after a couple of software patches.
So if your that irritated by the * bad * camera get yourself an S8 bloatware phone for just 800$

I think its more that OP made the camera a big selling point. I never really expected it to be as good as the Pixel or S8 but more about a step below. This camera seems to be much much worse than what people were expecting
I hate Samsung and would never buy a galaxy but I have to admit with recent deals, the S8 would be a better phone to buy

Yeah, I agree with you when you say that they made their selling point on the camera. But don't forget the fact that it can change a lot with software update, and maybe we are only at the beginning of a great journey with it. Look, already an update yesterday.
With every iteration of OnePlus, I think it was like this: many updates. to improve software sides of components.

im so sick of everyone complaining about outdated software, missing features just be happy with your phone. if its so crap why the hell did you get in the 1st place? were u hoping for an update or root? in that case you should have waited for either one of those to happen before buying the phone.
im getting my x10 on monday (im from australia) and ive played around with the store demos and truthfully its a great phone, had a hard choice between x10 and desire, but thruthfully i dont like the fact that HTC 'cheated' on the resolution of their 'amoled' screen and by the way the I8000 amoled is better anyway but whites are better on a TFT screen (just an observation, correct me if im wrong but thats my opinion)
currently i have Samsung I8000 (before that samsung i900) and if i waited for samsung to update it to 6.5 in australia id have jumped off a cliff. phone got hacked, updated to 6.5.3 and 6.5.5 and guess what only like last week did samsung decide to officially release an update for the phone (an official one) and its outdated by about 4-6 months to what im actually running on the phone. and guess what after all that i still love the phone.
(by the way HTC had windows mobile 6.5 about a year ago)
i researched, played around and got what i wanted and what had the features that i needed.
loved every phone i had and will have.... want to know why? ITS BECAUSE I GET A PHONE WHICH HAS WHAT I NEED AND WANT NOT WHAT LOOKS BEST OR IS 'TRENDY'
SO IF YOU GO SO MANY PROBLEMS AND SO DISAPPOINTED WITH SONY ERICSSON WHY, SERIOUS, WHY THE HELL DID YOU GET THE XPERIA X10????
JUST A THOUGHT, MAYBE IM TOO AMBITIOUS IN ASSUMING PEOPLE BUY PHONES BECAUSE THEY NEED THEM AND NOT BECAUSE THEY LOOK LIKE A GREAT SHINY NEW TOY
very true dude i cant stand everyone *****ing about this phone. If you dont like the phone dont bloody get it in the first place simple !
And your moaning about people winging and moaning?....
-------------------------------------
..
Hi Aussie buddy. I agree about the ott whining, especially because s.e. have confirmed at least a 2.1 update. Tbh, I buy my phones based on aesthetics (had a hero before the x10) so I'm getting everything I want and more with this beaut.

hey if all the wingers can winge... so i decided to winge about wingers winging lol
I buy a phone with the following specifications: geotagging with a good camera, good autonomy, blah blah blah. So finally I get a phone with a lot of bugs. No geotagging with a poor camera (maybe not the hardware but software), very bad autonomy, blah blah blah.
Understand "blah blah blah" like my english is not very good.. and I don't want to fire my brain to write what you can read for everyone that own a X10 and use it like a smartphone, not only a mobile phone. So, if you are happy with X10 maybe you waste a lot of money purchasing it. Due to, if you want to call and write some SMS.. why you didn't buy a Nokia 6210?
Check that my friend > http://www.htcmania.com/showpost.php?p=1079784&postcount=1 > if you think that you have a good smartphone in your hands, you have the same criterion like my mum about a good smartphone it's.
Oh! I forgot... I didn't dream with Froyo.. I dream with a X10 without tons of bugs. Only!
You're right of course.. people should focus on the positives of the phone and not just ***** about the things that are wrong.. although it's very easy to get drawn in to the issues about poor customer service and responsiveness from SE.. which it actually the most worrying things about owning the flagship SE handset..
One last point.. and apologies in advance for being picky... but it's "Whinging" not "winging"

You are a fool.
The only reason I can like my phone is because it was expensive? You gotta have a pretty f'ed up life if that's what makes you happy. I like the phone because I can do anything I could possibly want on it, I have no "bugs", and I have amazing battery life. The phone is exactly what I wanted.
Also, it wasn't expensive for me either. In Japan, the Xperia is cheaper than the iPhone 3GS. $280US for new customers, $380US for existing.

I agree the Phone is full of Bugs if you use it intense. I bought the Phone because the Features sounded good to me. It does all what it is supposed to do but non of it it does right , that's what is my personal main Issue with the Phone. Besides the low Call Volume is especially in a noisy environment pretty annoying. Once all those bugs are fixed i am sure we will have a pretty nice Phone , including the 2.1 update of course. Just my Phones usually don't live that long and probably by the end of the Year i don't own the Xperia anymore.

Geotagging works just fine. All my friends faces show up in Mediascape/Timescape. The tags don't get erased. Wifi connects/disconnects just fine for me, I only use it at home, occasionally, since 3G is more than fast enough for downloading small apps/internet/email. I get over a day of battery life easily. I used GPS for MyTracks to track my drive home tonight for an hour. I used the internet often, watched 15 minutes of High Quality YouTube videos, sent a bunch of emails, took several photos, and downloaded a few apps of the market. Still have 27% battery life, which will last me until the morning. (It's 2 am right now where I am.)
Is it really that hard for you to believe that someone is not having problems with their phone? My only problem I've had was the USB port cover falling off somewhere. I was kinda pissed off about that, but a 1 minute trip to the Docomo store, and I had a new port cover, for free.

Do not forget the Japanese (Docomo) X10 is different to the other X10 , eg talking about more RAM and dunno what else Sony might have changed in the Japanese Version.

Ehmmm actually battery it's very bad. You only need to have a HTC Legend in your hands to see what I say. Of course, if you don't use your phone you will get a big autonomy, but if you setup Google Sync and keep all time 3G active.. you will get 18 hours as maximun vs. two/three days of the Legend. Of course it is a bug, read about the next update here >> http://translate.google.es/translat...tade-med-lasarna-1.338239.html?firstComment=0 if nothing it's wrong with the battery... why we will get 100% increased autonomy? Why?
Good night!
samsung galaxy s2 does have to wow factor but i was not able to enjoy as much as i did iphone. so i have sold my galaxy s2 for 4k less and again bought myself an iphone 4 this time white one
Not really sure why you made a thready up saying this but yeah the I4 is a nice phone, I sold one not so long ago and wen on the Optimus X2( terrible phone).
Sold that and got this and I wouldn't go back to a Iphone 4, IOS is way to basic and there is very little you can do to mod it like Android, I certainly wouldn't give up 1080p video recording, playing pretty much any video format out including mkv's for the Iphone,
The I4 records ok video just not in the same league as this phone and as much as I liked the resolution on the I4's screen it doesn't come close too the quality of the Super AMOLED + on this phone for colours/blacks but each too there own i guess .

congrats. I have my iPhone 4 right next to me, I haven't touched it in days .
The SGS2 is just way better in my opinion. It does EVERYTHING the iPhone does, except REALLY WELL! Like watching videos? No need to encode. Reading ebooks? MUCH larger display. Images on the screen? WOW! That's an awesome screen! Holding more than 32 gigs in it (YUP!). Widgets, GREAT!
My BIGGEST problems with the iphone were:
1) screen size
2) having to download EVERY DAMN NOTIFICATION TWICE! I would RECEIVE a notification for an IM app, have to open it, and then it would have to download it again! BIGGEST WASTE OF BATTERY AND TIME! I hated this.
Also the extra keyboard room is FANTASTIC. And it's SOOO thin and SOOO sexy! I love it! ^^
Battery life could be improved, but then again it's powering a next gen screen that's almost an inch bigger, also not only 1 faster processor, but 2! I have not had ANY lag (my iphone lags SOOO MUCH especially multitasking, switching between apps). This was the Android device I've always wanted
EDIT: Btw, if the iPhone works better for you, then that's fantastic. I know a lot of people to whom I'd recommend the iPhone over the SGS2. The iPhone just works, and it does its job. I consider myself tech savvy-ish, and I didn't like the incredibly closed box Mr. Jobs sent me in a pretty glass package. . But TBH, the iPhone is a great device. But I found one that's better (for me). I'm sure that's the case with MANY people. I wouldn't recommend to my mom an iPhone or an Android phone. She needs a craptastic Nokia that makes phone calls and lasts 5 days on battery life.

I think you made the worst decision.... dear. I just purchased Galaxy S II today and am enjoying it fully.
The bad part is you didn't give yourself any time to play with custom ROMs, android launchers, custom themes, ROMs like MIUI and CM7 (unavailable on S2 as of now but will come for sure), and very much more super-exciting stuff.
God help you!

I just wish android would get OTA updates, because it's brand spanking new innovation that was just released on iOS5....oh wait...

Hmmm. Guy submits app...gets rejected...Apple basically improves the app over the next year, with its numerous engineers working on it...then re-releases it in iOS5.
That's what so many people pay (stupidly overpriced amounts of money) for?
Oh well, what-ever floats your boat. :|

yea got raped in the a** by a dude so much in the past that he's starting to prefer continuing to be raped in the a** rather then have sex with pamela anderson.
Hey thanks for helping out.
Okay, let's break things down. Consider I can get either of these phones for the same price. Now, go through my impressions on both the phones and help me decide.
So, these are reasons to go for,
G6 over OP5
- The design
- "I" think the G6 camera got an edge over OP5
- It's compact yet has a bigger screen
- Water resistance (not really a deal breaker for me though)
- OIS
- Design again (It's essentially just the design and alot the design)
OP5 over G6
- I love Oxygen OS just because it's closer to stock android (G6 doesn't even come close in this department)
- Much cleaner with nearly no bloatware
- More RAM and better processor means smoother and faster experience
- I think I would find myself using the portrait mode more often than a wide angle shot
- Dash charging (of course)
- Alert slider
- Faster read and writes
- Prefer AMOLED over LCD
And there are things like SOT, sound quality/volume and other little things that would make one of them top the other. Hope someone can give some valuable comments on this. Thanks again
PS: I know the later list is longer, but it's just not that easy for me Also you may know other things that would make either of my lists grow.
also a LED notification for the OP5, the G6 doesn`t have one, that was the one thing that bugged me about the G6, so I ended up getting rid of it, I would go OP5, but I will have my OP5 tomorrow...... so I will see if my mind changes on that lol
For me The OP5 is better

The design of the oneplus5 is good bro , i know it's like a year old desing and everybody been pissing on it , but be sure to know that if it wasn't close in apparence to the Iphone 7 , nobody will point it out as a "bad" design ... once you take that idea out of your brain , the design is really good , also don't judge it like you see it because unless u held it you know nothing about it ... like MKBHD said : the most important is how it feels .
The camera on it is also great , i couldn't rely on the reviews on youtube , just because some people showed it better than the biggest phones , while others showed it like trash ... so for this i'll say it's up to you , it's definitely a user preferance thing , but note that hopefully it will get better with software updates and also that the phone is less than a week old
compact , bigger screen , water resistance ... are things that - again - come to your preferance , some of us would've wanted an infinity display on it , even the company said it themselves ... if it's a deal breaker for you than definitely consider them
as for OIS , it's something shamefull , like how could a company promote a phone and make it's selling point on the camera and not include OIS ?! i don't know , but something to point out , is that of there were EIS with 4K vids , or if EIS was more enhanced ... the lack of OIS will be no problem , even though
OIS >>> EIS ... but still an enhanced EIS will do the job , and hopefully OP will be on it with software updated to put EIS for 4K videos and make it over all better
hope i helped you with is , presonnally just for stock-ish android experience , and support of the dev community and root and all that ... i will choose a OnePlus phone over anything else ... the GPixel is great , but very expensive nd lacks some very cool stuff that the OP5 has ... and after all , it is your call , for me ... i would rock that OP5 .
G6 only has snapdragon 821 whereas OnePlus has 835. That's another big item I think.
Some for hijacking the topic but I too am considering buying OP5 but am confused which version should I get, the 6GB one or the 8GB one. Storage is not an issue as 64 GB will be four times more than what I need, lol. But just curious if that 2 GB will make any difference in performance? If not now, will it make difference in the next say 6-12 months, as I am considering to buy this one for at least 2 years.
Thanks
G6 better build quality, display, camera. The only downside to it is its an S821 but the S821 is a great SOC.

Some for hijacking the topic but I too am considering buying OP5 but am confused which version should I get, the 6GB one or the 8GB one. Storage is not an issue as 64 GB will be four times more than what I need, lol. But just curious if that 2 GB will make any difference in performance?

6GB will last you for some years to come. As of now, there is no real usage for 8GB of RAM; the software isn't properly optimized (yet). With some time and custom ROMs this will probably change though. But still, considering most major flagships (S8, Pixel, G6) only have 4GB, the 6GB version should be more than enough. I was considering the 8GB version only because of how storage consumption is currently growing pretty fast, so I was concerned I might run out of storage when I manage to keep my phone more than 3 years. Also I like the matte black version more.
At the end, I still opted for the 6GB/64GB/Slate Grey version though. Arrives tomorrow

For the casual user you probably won't notice a difference. 6GB is still well beyond what you'd get from pretty much any other manufacturer. If you are a super heavy multitasker, that is probably where you might see a difference.
That said, I got the 8GB one, but it's probably overkill even for me. One of the biggest surprises using this phone is that even large games stay open, suspended in the background practically forever. No more random Pokémon Go Plus disconnects!
Software is key for me. I sold my S8 because as much as loved the hardware, the op5 blows it out of the water in performance. Lgs software imo is even worse than Samsung as it's just all over the place.
Personally I wouldn't pay anything over $300 for a phone with last year's SOC. While it still works perfectly fine, that's akin to paying 2017 prices for a 2016 car.
Basically (to me) the raw speed and clean software on the op5 puts it over anything save for the pixel, which would be a closer call if the pixel could be had for less than the op5 price.

That's what I was worried about. I hate the s8's software already. Don't think I'd cope up with LG's

Agreed. I'm currently using the Pixel XL. And it's blazing fast and super smooth(Except some rare frame drops I encounter in the Android O beta). It's sad that I gotta let go of my Pixel. (Reasons I'm letting it go: It's been purchased from US and it doesn't support some bandwidths I need here in India. Also ROM is only 32, no dual sim and occasional microphone issues)
There no other, absolutely no other complaints I have with my Pixel. (Except for a stereo speaker I'd still want that)

also a LED notification for the OP5, the G6 doesn`t have one, that was the one thing that bugged me about the G6, so I ended up getting rid of it, I would go OP5, but I will have my OP5 tomorrow...... so I will see if my mind changes on that lol

The notification light is no big a deal for me though. Just a nice thing to have
Poor battery life on G6 and old processor

I don't have any problem with the build quality of my O+5... It's nice, slim, thin, feels solid, ... great phone. Build quality? 100% good. :good:
OnePlus 5 all the way. The G6 is pretty much dead in the water. LG should have waited for SD 835 imo.

The design of the oneplus5 is good bro , i know it's like a year old desing and everybody been pissing on it , but be sure to know that if it wasn't close in apparence to the Iphone 7 , nobody will point it out as a "bad" design ... once you take that idea out of your brain , the design is really good , also don't judge it like you see it because unless u held it you know nothing about it

It's the bezels..man.. The phone really doesn't look like all that 2017. I would not have a second thought had the OP5 a bit slimmer bezels. At least like the G6 if not like S8
Believe me i faced the same dilemma.
There's no hitch in my mind after choosing the OP5.
Personally, it is a preference as to what you want in your phone.
Go over the pros and cons for both.
Check camera quality samples.
See comparison videos.
Etc.
Then make an informed decision bro.
On a Side Note:
These days the cameras on most mobiles are so good, it's very hard to make out whats good n what's not, in a manner of speaking...
The OP5 is missing a sd card slot. Thats a big drawback for me

What's your impressions on the camera? Is it bad? Good? Or great?

I don't think I'd run out of memory with 128GB version (maybe 64GB too) really. Considering I also got a laptop if I needed a backup. I'm having a tough time with the 32GB on my Pixel XL though. There's only so much you can do even with a laptop to backup.
It's good only.
I have not tested it fully but I like it.
I switched from a Nexus 6P.. & still like the OP5 camera
It's still on personal preference..
Do check MKBHD's review on it.
Even SuperSaf camera comparisons..
You'll get the idea
I am on the zenfone 2 right now, so this would be a big upgrade for me.
I am not the person who buys phones every year, so given the issues people are reporting for the OP5,
should i go for the OP 3T. My friend uses it, and has had no issues uptil now.
3T might be a bit behind the OP5, but still is a great phone. What should i go for?
I still recommend to buy the OP5. Yes, it has issues (BTW i just got a little jelly effect (which could be fixed later), i had no WiFi/Bluetooth issue), but still, i'd get one if i were you.
Tbh, just get OP 3T. You'll save money. I had the 3T and I'm on the 5 now, felt like the same phone minus the obvious thinner feel in the hand. Anybody who's already on 3T, don't waste. It's not worth it and the 3T has OIS.

I believe you're posting in the wrong section my friend. We're glad you're in the forums, just the wrong one
I posted a couple images taken with my OP5 to help you choose which phone you'd like, if you do choose "dual cameras, clearer photos" pm me for savings

So the 821 and 835 isnt much of a difference here. Im really confused.
Some ppl say 3T has heating issues and OP5 doesnt. Is that true.

I never had any heating issue on my OP3T tho (You can check on their XDA forum). I know on Antutu you see the number difference but tbh, real life usage, you can't really tell the difference. It's too little . The dual camera is good but not great, same goes to OP3T. It's up to you, really. If you have the extra cash to burn, get the OP5 but if you're being frugal, go for OP3T. In my opinion, I kinda regret getting the OP5. Not because it's a bad phone but because I already had the OP3T and I don't see much difference in daily performance.

If you don't upgrade often get the OP5. Similar price (at least where I am) and more future proofed

Thank you all for your replies.
I am going with the OP5, coz i thought i don't upgrade phones often, so why not invest in what is the latest and best out there.

I had both. I'd go with the 3T. The jelly effect hurts my eyes and the 3T has ois. Plus you can get the 3T much cheaper now used and save a couple of hundred dollars.

Good choice. Changed from OPO to OP5 and I'm in love with the OP5.
Sure, people coming from Op3 will say there's not a big difference. That's true because Hardware development isn't that fast so you will have a completely different phone when you change from Op3 to OP5.
But if you are coming from another brand I would recommend the OP5 for sure. It has a slightly higher price but it's more future prove. The dual cameras are great and they will get better with software updates. If you want breathtaking pictures get a DSLR instead of blaming a MOBILE CAMERA (like a few people do).
Pixel phone's camera is slightly better but the price isn't just "slightly" higher
I don't have any Jelly Effect, no WiFi issues or anything. Phone is running flawless and very, very fast.
If you won't get a phone with jelly effect you will love the OP5 for sure.

Still a good phone. Lucky for me, My unit has no jelly effect. I think because of that fact, those with Jelly effect is probably a hardware issue. All the displays are the same so It doesn't make sense that some experience it and some don't. See if you can test your unit 1st if you're buying it from a walk-in shop, if online, make use of the 15 days return policy and have it replaced if you do end up with the jelly unit

Its arriving tomorrow, jelly effect is the first thing i will look for, wonder they would replace it or not.
Replace is via amazon here in india, Oneplus doesnt do it officially here.
I came to OP5 from Nexus 4, I just love this phone!! The camera is great for a cell phone camera, I am still getting used to it to get better photos.
The jelly I think is not a big deal, not for me at least... I noticed it a little only after reading about it a lot
I bought it for the same reason as you, I don't upgrade often. And I want a phone that is supported by community on XDA, which I think this will surely be
SO if you don't upgrade often like me, you will love this phone...
P.S. just forget that you read about the jelly if you can since OP has officially said its normal, it will be difficult to get replacement for that issue via Amazon...
I have the 2023 version running 10.5.11.IN11AA and I have the photochrome tab but when I switch to it I just get the regular camera view (no effect at all), screenshot included.
From what I gathered, the IN2023 model should still have the photochrome filter, and in any case the fact that it's there but does nothing seems weird to me.
ideas?
EDIT: nvm, it's just so weak now that I haven't noticed that it does anything. Shame.
Oneplus just released a patch with the latest update disabling the camera responsible for the filter because it had the potential to see through certain fabrics and plastics.

those days are gone , you better sell your phone like im doing and buy huawei or samsung ultra or wait for note 20
Stop talk about what you don't know, oneplus has not disabled the sensor. Now it use the 48mp camera together with the 5mp camera to capture the colors and create the filter

The 48MP + filter combination is useless, I couldn't care less about the colors, I wanted to just check how the "xray" camera looks like. That said, I'm not going to sell the phone just because they disabled a camera. I still think it is the best Android phone right now, and if you bought it just for a 5MP filter camera you should reconsider your consumer choices.
The photo filter works. Needs more light. So basically works only outside. Details it takes now is lot better than 5mp camera before it, buy requires lot light since sensivity is on high range. And sell the phone just coz some filter is not working and downgrade to other android phone by paying more, that's just st....

Then sell it and stop moaning!! Do us all a favour. If you didn't research it then that's your fault.
Also if it's not the most developed phone at this time? Amongst flagships, please elaborate with all your wisdom what is??
Just got the dreaded update to 10.
Simply disregarded it then took to Twitter to tear OnePlus a new bum hole.
Poor judgement and poor decisions by OnePlus.
I'll not be taking it until they sort their heads up out
I am disappointed.
Does anyone know how to get it back on the latest firmware?
