Finally got a new phone. Oneplus 5t. Based on specs it beats Samsung Note8 easily, and it was just so cheap (+ oneplus finally offers them to Austria directly, buying them via retailers would have the price increased to 699+)

Is it any good? Smile

(Well, 'got' ordered last night, should be here on 12th. Hopefully the estimate is true, as on 20th I leave the country Razz )

Monthly wage? Razz

I had Samsung S5 before and it's starting to show signs of age (even music is lags if I try to browse at same time) and the case is starting to 'peel' off.

No but my camera has! Troll Dad

I also find it a bit baffling that people pay +600€ for a phone they hardly use outside of social medias, instagram filters and messaging.

At least you have less of that with us Hump nerds I guess... but still most features are done better on other devices. But hey, we live in a world where people watch netflix on their tablet/phone while there is a TV in the background Razz

He's probably using it as a phone / instant messenger and doesn't need it as a food advertiser.

Nothing baffling, high end camera modules for smartphones are pretty expensive and command a high price (not to mention all the R&D that goes into them) so for people who love clicking pictures and posting.... well it makes sense for them to buy it to "look" their best in uploaded pics Laughing



1 and 2 are still amazing.

If you don't care for a a good camera, then you can get a very good smartphones for like 150€ - for example the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4(x).

But i care to also have a good camera (hardware PLUS software), though i am willing to pay up to 500-600€. Not more though.

@mtj
Congrats to the phone, though personally i never was and probably never will be a fan of those 1+ phones.
Mainly because with their first phones they did those retarded preorder promotions. Like sending out invites to a few people, that would be able to preorder it. Or allow preorders for all for only a few hours at some days.

I currently have my eyes in this prefered order on the LG V30, Huawei Mate 10 (Pro), and Galaxy Note 8.

Aye, and I do mean it about the humpers you have a higher chance of those features being used more. My eyeroll is mostly directed to the average phone user.

Yea, I decided finally to try some new brand, and saw the Oneplus 5T yesterday. Specs look awesome. ( snapdragon 835, 8GB ram and 128GB storage.)

here's how to rejuvenate your S5:

1. boot in safe mode
2. clear app cache
3. profit from your brand new performance S5 Very Happy

do this every ~6 months, but be careful not to reset the phone, as that option is near the one to clear the cache

also remember to clear the "last used apps" list every time you close apps, as the shitdroid os hangs them in the RAM until it's nearly full

Congrats on the 5t, report how you like it. I moved from a several years old Nexus 4 to the OnePlus 3T last year when it came out, still happy as day one with it. And with the hacked Google Camera app you get to use Googles beautiful HDR algorithm which they usually only enable for their Nexus/Pixel line phones, and you get really awesome shots.

Also it's the first Android phone I did not throw Cyanogen/LinageOS on because OnePluses OxygenOS is so close to stock Android that it's just not worth it.

Great choice man.

So far I'm loving it.

Usability is a bit weird as I'm used to Samsung's UI, but that just requires a bit of time (back button for example is on the 'wrong' side {In reality Samsung had it on wrong side, but since that's the one I've been using always Razz }).

Migration process was easy and seemed to work well. Haven't yet tried the camera really. Charging is lightning fast and the battery life is also really great (compared to my S5) I can use it for pretty much 2 days before charging. S5 I had to charge 2-3 times a day (original battery Razz ).

I think you can switch those in settings (at least you could on the 1+X and that's an old one).

Oh thanks, that's true, found the option now Razz
Also figured out why my camera opens sometimes randomly -> double power button tap opens camera by default (can be disabled)

You can also turn on, in settings again, quick access to camera by tapping the "home" button twice. It's quite useful if you need to quickly take a photo. ^_^
