  • After listening I'm wondering should I just sell the OP5 as soon as I receive it on Friday without even opening. Anyway it was an impulse buy I didn't need to make 😂😂
  • I'm listening right now and I have that feeling too. I watched the event on Tuesday and was super excited to see the specs and the introduction of the telephoto lens effects. I almost ordered, but came back and started watching the AC, Mr. Mobile and MKBHD reviews. I didn't expect it to be a "flagship killer", but for me, I was looking for something close to it. Specifically, in terms of camera and some type of IP67/68 rating. Even though I really like wireless charging, its something I can live without for another year. The 6GB and 8GB RAM might just be overkill for what Android can do. Using a G6 as my daily driver, I want a backup that has a very good camera.
  • Special Edition
  • I have the 3T and I'm in love with it. That said the 5 is disappointing. Hope they go back to what made the 3T great. No need right now for 8gb ram. Need a better design, water resistant, and focus on software upgrades and improving the camera.
  • Hinted at, but not mentioned outright - OnePlus was probably unable to stay under base price $500 without using the Oppo R11 chassis. It was a cost reduction move that had to happen with the escalation of the price of components. Jerry warned about this about a month or two ago and now we're seeing the end result.
  • Yeah... RAM and storage modules especially have had a big price spike.
  • I love my 5. Love my 3T. Honestly though I still prefer the feel in hand of the OPO that I'm typing on right now. They nailed the look and feel first try. The 5 is world's better than the 1, or 3, but damn... This 1 feels good to hold.
