Title: One Plus 5
Post by: Gorion on June 20, 2017, 11:57:53 PM
Anyone watched the live announcement earlier? What do you guys think about it?

Specs look beastly. The only thing which I think is lacking is water and dust resistance/proof. Would have also preferred a 4000mah battery instead of 3300 but that 30min dash charge makes up for it I guess.

I ordered the phone (midnight black 8GB ram and 128GB storage) immediately after and grabbed the car dash charge too. The missus did the same thing as her opo needed the upgrade...

For anyone interested, I have a referral link giving you 20euro credit on accessories, which gives me some points which can be redeemed for shirts and the usual tidbits.

Shipping was free, and the code for the early purchase is clearerphotos. Some countries are already sold out. Normal sales are supposed to launch on the 27th.


Now I have to wait for Rhinoshield.io to release a crash guard bumper before using it..

Cheers Gorion, signed up for the £20 voucher, should have some points coming your way. The early purchase code has a space in it. clearer photos
If only I had the cash up front to purchase. Will wait for the shops to have contract deals for me :)

Read the reviews and thought it look seriously tempting.   Not quite at the point where I need a change of phone, but this would certainly be on of my top options of changing phones right now.

I'll give you my thoughts about it during early July. Currently abroad, so I can't test it out as it is being delivered home by hopefully today.

For what one pays, one gets quite a powerful device. Other manufacturers charge over 1k for lower specced phones, so that is quite something. Some blogs have been comparing photos of the OP5 vs S8+ and they are practically indistinguishable apart from the higher contrast on Samsung devices, which I honestly don't like.
