FN-GM Posted June 27, 2016 Posted June 27, 2016 If anyone is looking at buying one with a case, continue reading.... Its cheaper to get the essentials bundle that includes headphones, screen protector and case than it is for the case alone. The essentials bundle is on special offer. 1
denzal2k4 Posted June 27, 2016 Posted June 27, 2016 Delayed til first week of July, not too fussed, nothing wrong with my OnePlus 2 till then
levans Posted June 28, 2016 Posted June 28, 2016 I ordered one of these yesterday. Excited to get it, if it's not hit by delays mentioned here. Finally free of rip off contracts!
cherd84 Posted June 28, 2016 Author Posted June 28, 2016 Alas, after starting this thread, I won't be among the first to buy. I had to adult and buy car tax and home insurance instead. For now, my face will remain pressed up against the shop window.
KoolTech Posted June 28, 2016 Posted June 28, 2016 Hoping to buy mine tomorrow on payday!! Can anyone update on how the phone is to actually use day to day? Any issues? Thanks!
FN-GM Posted June 28, 2016 Posted June 28, 2016 Just a note, the essentails bundle offer has ended and they are no longer cheaper than buying a standalone case.
bossman Posted June 28, 2016 Posted June 28, 2016 @KoolTech Day to Day use is excellent, using all the apps as per usual in a days work plus banking and other stuff, blown away by the speed, no drag on apps or phone use, crystal clear sound on calls, photos are crisp and clear in HD format plus video in all formats and slow mo!. Battery life is excellent as the screen is so good on low brightness settings, actually been using very heavily all day and still on 61% charge. Phone is lovely to handle although a tad slippery with the new shape and the aluminium back unlike the HTC but you get used to it, would have preferred if they had made slightly rougher to the touch a little like the sandstone on the OP2. Only glitch I have found so far is with FB sometimes not opening peoples comments, only now and again, i find clearing the cache and stopping the app solves this, I think it is the FB app rather than the phone though to be honest. Games play sweetly with no judder from the graphics......etc etc! What more can I say just loving it 1
KoolTech Posted June 28, 2016 Posted June 28, 2016 @bossman that's great thanks a lot! I am 95% sure this is the phone I'm going to get. Brilliant reviews on it and for that price is amazing. No more phone contracts is a big plus as well.
Arthur Posted June 28, 2016 Posted June 28, 2016 Dear UK, your phones are on the way soon ... the demand for the OnePlus 3 in the UK has been above and beyond what any of us expected initially. A number of you have been experiencing delays in your orders, and for that we’re truly sorry. We always try to be as honest and transparent as possible, so we want to let you know what’s going on and how we plan on solving the main issues so you can get your new phones as soon as possible. Firstly, there’s been something of a schedule misalignment between devices and accessories in the UK. We had plenty of accessories on the way at the moment of launch, however customs issues meant many orders that included both devices and accessories were delayed. We’ve solved this obstacle by simply removing and refunding those accessories and any priority shipping paid for, dispatching devices directly, and issuing vouchers for £8 / 10€ off their next order and waived the minimum order to qualify for free shipping to those affected so that they can purchase cases and other items once we have them restocked. We experienced some slight output delays from our factory, and the rate of replenishment for the UK has taken longer than we planned. For this reason, some of the dispatch estimates have increased but we have more stock arriving this week, and we should have all outstanding orders before today fulfilled and shipped by Thursday. Some of you have been waiting for two weeks, and we understand your frustration. We apologise for the delays, and we’ll be contacting those affected by email, and issuing a voucher for £16 / 20€ plus no minimum order to qualify for free shipping for their next order. We’re prioritising those fans who ordered earliest, but if you order this week we’ll be able to fulfill within 2-3 days as things return to normal.
FN-GM Posted June 28, 2016 Posted June 28, 2016 I have an iPhone 6. Do i get an OP3? You decide for me
Localtechie Posted June 29, 2016 Posted June 29, 2016 I have an iPhone 6. Do i get an OP3? You decide for me Yes. Long answer: Definitely after using android I couldn't go back to an iPhone so much more flexible to use heck I can even plug a USB stick into my phone!
ataylor Posted June 29, 2016 Posted June 29, 2016 Absolutely blown away by this unit, only had it 1 day and its fantastic! AnTuTu benchmark test is nearly twice that of my OP2 unit: [ATTACH=CONFIG]37432[/ATTACH] My Samsung Note 4 only scored 64694! Might be time for me to upgrade!
abillybob Posted June 29, 2016 Posted June 29, 2016 (edited) My Samsung Note 4 only scored 64694! Might be time for me to upgrade! Shove a custom ROM on it like Cyanogenmod and watch that number shoot up!!! I have XtreLite's ROM on my S6 Edge and I get 97,162 which is much better than the 60,000 mark they should be getting. Though I have overclocked the processor a little!! Edited June 29, 2016 by abillybob 1
levans Posted June 29, 2016 Posted June 29, 2016 My Samsung Note 4 only scored 64694! Might be time for me to upgrade! My Sony M2 scored around 15k.... excited to get the new handset is an understatement!!
MkII Posted June 29, 2016 Posted June 29, 2016 Only glitch I have found so far is with FB sometimes not opening peoples comments, only now and again, i find clearing the cache and stopping the app solves this, I think it is the FB app rather than the phone though to be honest. That seems to be for everyone. Quick workaround was to select desktop mode which brings back chat. I've now installed Swipe for Facebook which seems a better experience all told and chat works as before.
synaesthesia Posted June 29, 2016 Posted June 29, 2016 My Nexus 5 still rocks up at 53135 on Antutu Still, won't have to last long... hopefully next week!
Gaz Posted June 29, 2016 Posted June 29, 2016 I'm deciding whether to get one of these, can anyone comment on the reports of poor colour reproduction and pixellation in recorded videos playback. I want a phone with a good stock android feel so its this or the nexus 5x which is slightly older but still good for my purposes. I won't be rooting the device.
bossman Posted June 29, 2016 Posted June 29, 2016 @mark Apparently the developer of this app has a statement after installing that due to the fact that FB is utilising messenger more that he doesn't know how long he can keep this app going? I have downloaded and installed will try.....Thank you 1
Arthur Posted June 29, 2016 Posted June 29, 2016 The OP3 might be getting more expensive soon. OnePlus 3 - Brexit means hard choices need to be made OnePlus is a global company with fans across the world. The UK is one of the most important markets for OnePlus. So given the uncertainty following the unexpected Brexit developments, we wanted to explain how this might affect our business in the near future. We’ve always strived to create the best product and deliver them to customers at a reasonable price. However, the worrying downward trend of the GBP may make it difficult to maintain our current pricing structure in the UK. Our margins have always been thin, and our expenses are mainly in USD. This being the case, sudden drops such as the one that the Pound has recently experienced could have a direct impact on our prices. We’re telling you this now because we don’t want you to be blindsided. If you’re thinking of buying, we recommend doing so sooner rather than later. However, if a price change comes to pass, it will not be a decision that we take lightly. We have only had to increase prices once before, when the Euro hit a nine-year low against the dollar at the beginning of 2015, and we did so reluctantly. Currency fluctuations are not your fault, nor our fault; but if we sell at a loss, the simple fact is that there won’t be a OnePlus in the future. By no means are we worried about our business in the UK, Europe or globally. We’re confident that the OnePlus 3 is one of the best phones out there, and it’s our most successful product ever. The fact that we significantly increased lifecycle volume forecast, our orders to suppliers, and still sold out completely within hours of our launch proves that we’re not the only ones that think this way. Hundreds of you came out to see us at the recent pop-up store in London, and thousands more visited our pop-ups around the world. We’re proud of the progress we’ve made together with you over the past two years and a half years. Whatever happens with our prices in the UK, it won’t come out of the blue. We’ll try as best we can to keep you informed, when we know more, we’ll be sure give you several days of notice.
MkII Posted July 1, 2016 Posted July 1, 2016 I just read a review last night... by Anandtech saying that the latest patch has fixed the colour reprodution accuracy completely. Read that for a good opinion on your question, I think it's answered fully. Revisiting The OnePlus 3: sRGB, Memory Management, & More I'm deciding whether to get one of these, can anyone comment on the reports of poor colour reproduction and pixellation in recorded videos playback. I want a phone with a good stock android feel so its this or the nexus 5x which is slightly older but still good for my purposes. I won't be rooting the device.
MkII Posted July 1, 2016 Posted July 1, 2016 @mark Apparently the developer of this app has a statement after installing that due to the fact that FB is utilising messenger more that he doesn't know how long he can keep this app going? I have downloaded and installed will try.....Thank you Yes I noticed that too. I meant to mention that.
JJonas Posted July 1, 2016 Posted July 1, 2016 My Samsung Note 4 only scored 64694! Might be time for me to upgrade! Why is my Note 4 getting 42540?
