Comic King Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 (edited) Hello young plebsters For the past 2.5 years I've owned the Samsung Galaxy S5. For a few months now, the phone has been struggling with some newer apps and games (out of which some barely run at 10 FPS) including Facebook Messanger which has a lot of great functions, but generally slows the phone down trumendeously and drains the battery quite fast. 2GB of RAM on a phone in 2017 is too little I guess. Now, I've been looking at phones from OnePlus and was wondering if anyone of you cuties has any experience with OnePlus phones. I was thinking of buying the OnePlus 5T, their newest phone, because it is pretty fast and has a great camera (I like taking pictures woo). The OnePlus 5T also has a stunning 8GB RAM and has the newest-gen Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor boosted to 2.4 GHz. The 8GB model is available for about 560 USD, and is more powerful than the iPhone X (1000 USD). Pls giv ur thoughts my friends and help your sexy friend out Edited December 2, 2017 by Comic King Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brgr. Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 (edited) I haven't had any experiences with the OnePlus 5T but after looking at some videos about the phone, It looks way better than the current phone you have! Also looks like the OnePlus 5T can run games pretty well but I HIGHLY doubt that. It might get slow at some times but I think that happens with all phones, no? Anyways, If I were you and I was looking for an upgrade, I'd totally get that phone. Edited December 2, 2017 by brgr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jxhn Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Definitely get a newer phone. I'd recommend the Razer phone, an iPhone 7 (8 and X don't add anything good), or whatever the newest samsung is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryze Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 The OnePlus 5T is a great phone, I've looked at benchmarks at its amazing, its their best-selling phone to date. I would get one myself but the Canadian dollar is shit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comic King Posted December 2, 2017 Author Share Posted December 2, 2017 Definitely get a newer phone. I'd recommend the Razer phone, an iPhone 7 (8 and X don't add anything good), or whatever the newest samsung is. Well, I think the iPhone 7 Plus costs the same as the OnePlus 5T right now... And I'd say it's less poweful. I was also looking at Samsung Galaxy S8+, but with only 4 gigs of ram and for about the same price as the OnePlus 5T, you still get less and the laggy Touchwizz, along with 50 bloatware apps. I just decided to pass on the S8, but thanks for the advice Jxhn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sol07 Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 I also had the Galaxy S5 for a few years and loved it, until it started failing. I upgraded to the Galaxy S7 Edge, and it's an amazing phone. If you liked the Galaxy S5 a lot, there's not a huge difference between the S7 Edge and that. Very good camera, lightweight, runs faster, lots of storage, durable. Very good phone 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
its kr0nik bitch Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 going from android to ios is a fucking trip. I prefer android, as iOS is meant to be user friendly where as android are all more about what you can do with the phone. oh and the fbook app sucks ass I've got the s7edge same as sol I won't ever switch from a Samsung phone again 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, they make good phones, but they get slower very fast and I don't like it... And as I've said, they usually include a shit ton of bloatware My Galaxy S5 is a great phone, but is getting slowed down by those pre-installed apps...

StrawBerry Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 i would get the samsung s8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ValueSensei Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 I know this is a late post but just throwing it out there, if you can get ahold of one without breaking your bank the Note8 is very VERY good. I've had it since it came out, have not had any slow down. Been enjoying it a lot. ^-^ Also can safely say it will not explode like my Note 7 did... :l 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slav Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 I have the iPhone X incoming hate and I'm just going to say its the best phone I have ever had, and I won't be getting another one anytime soon. If you don't wanna spend the money, get the oneplus 5T. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, my budget this time around is a bit tighter and I will have to stay below 600$. But thanks for the recommendation! If I get a hold of a bigger budget, I'll surely take your experience into consideration I have the iPhone X incoming hate and I'm just going to say its the best phone I have ever had, and I won't be getting another one anytime soon. If you don't wanna spend the money, get the oneplus 5T. We have an Apple reseller store here and I've held the phone in my hand and tested the UI and I was blown away by how sexy and fluid it was. The camera was also pretty good. However, the phone here costs 1600$, so I just decided to skip... But all in all a great phone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slav Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 thought the iphone x costs 1000$? In other countries it can cost most or less than in the US. If you live in the US, it will take over a month to get the phone, but if you want to pay the premium you could go on eBay and get it faster. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ValueSensei Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Well I hope you're able to find a phone that'll suit you! ^-^ Keep your eyes on Amazon and eBay also, could potentially find decent deals! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comic King Posted December 7, 2017 Author Share Posted December 7, 2017 thought the iphone x costs 1000$? Here, everything that needs to be imported from anywhere has huuuge import prices (customs and shitty VAT)... That's why the iPhone X here costs an arm and a leg...

nielsfalko Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 iPhone 7 is decently priced in EU rn round 600 eurie id say the Samsung galaxy s8 might be decent as well its good priced and looks amazing (yes that's a big plus for me) for performance ofc the one plus is the best but idk I like the main companies better look wise.

Pongo Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 If you're looking to use your phone a lot for games, then maybe the Razer phone? Still has very decent specs comparable with the oneplus 5T, with same processor but has a 120 Hz screen which I've heard is amazing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
