FAQ

Where do I enter the coupon code?

  • No Coupon needed

It's showing me higher AUD price than mentioned in the title

  • Choose USD as your currency from top left hand corner. Don't select AUD, always choose to pay in USD, it will work out cheaper even after your credit card conversion fees. Also read the below.

How do I ensure I get the cheapest AUD price possible

  • To avoid higher currency conversion rates and to get cheapest price from these Chinese websites, you should get a credit card that charges zero currency conversion fees. 28Degrees, Bankwest Zero, Coles Mastercard are generally popular. Irrespective of what credit card you use, always choose to pay in USD on these Chinese websites, (Go back to main page, Choose "USD" from top left hand corner). Additionally set your Paypal so it "bills you in the currency on Seller's Invoice". To set your PayPal account this way permanently, follow the steps shown in these snapshots [Highly recommended]

    Only thing putting off this phone is the lack of support for other Qc chargers. Have a bunch of blitzwolf and Aukey and other good quality chargers that I won't be able to use on this phone. For that reason I'm out. Oh and maybe when the price drops below $500.

      You can buy the cheap OPPO ones anyway. Nothing comes close to this phone for the price.

          It runs OxygenOS which is very close to stock Android and has full source code release by the developer so sees more custom ROM developments.

        • bananabendera on 31/01/2018 - 19:06

          @pinkybrain: No. The 'scroll bug' on the 5 is just an illusion created by your eyes who are not used to it and supposedly they are able to adjust to the bug. The 5t does not have an upside down refresh direction.

    I'm on the hunt for a new phone since my Nexus 6P begun having battery problems (it's just a matter of time before the bootloop error happens IMO), and this is a really tempting offer. But I'm pretty much on my own in terms of warranties claims for a seller like this right? I know consumer laws apply but I can imagine the pain of trying to get a refund or repair with an international seller like this.

    Maybe I'll just wait for a deal from a seller in Australia…

      • beliael on 31/01/2018 - 11:57

        Did you install it yourself or have someone else do it? I'm scared of wrecking the phone :(

      • renw on 31/01/2018 - 14:14

        Also interested in this. Found it costs around $100 to replace professionally though, so not the worst.
        I think a new battery in the 6p should see the phone last for at least another year though, given the specs it has…

        • Doodles87 on 31/01/2018 - 22:02

          Yeh, self install. Bought the battery from eBay, came with tools. Decent hair-dryer for heat and a old school razor blade to get under the two stuck on pieces on the back. Rest is pretty easy. Plenty of YouTube videos to walk you through. Like having a new phone again

      • duxa on 31/01/2018 - 21:33

        getting off the visor and the bottom bit is pretty hard. I think it is easier if you put enough heat but I would always end up breaking them. Opening the case after is not easy either, I ended up pushing through a small hole beneath the bottom cover bit. The rest is easy. I opened my phone twice but I replaced the whole housing both times - it is about $20. I got an Hsabat battery, it works fine, but seem to have around 3150 ma capacity and I am still not sure if the fast charging is working. The phone got a lot faster now as well than it was on the old battery

      I bought mine from an ebay seller claiming 1 year warranty. If you get it from a seller that operates in Aus then you are covered by consumer laws regardless of whether or not oneplus officially sell in Aus or not.

      I got mine here https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/OnePlus-A5010-5T-Black-Dual-4G-L… . $30 more than this deal but if you are worried about warranty then maybe a good option.

        • static on 31/01/2018 - 23:56

          Yeah happy so far, no dramas with the seller and the phone shipped and arrived within a week. Since they sell a lot of Chinese phones it seems they make sure they are setup in english before they ship them out and apply the screen protector that comes with the phone so it's pretty hassle free.

          Hopefully I'll never have to find out how they go about handling warranties.

      I was having the same issues with my 6P, phone dying at 30 or so percent. Rare cases, it'd shut down at 60%. Read all the comments and forums and the solution came down to replacing the battery. Went down to Repair Mate and cost me $100. Now the phone is working brand new!

    • Tardvark on 31/01/2018 - 15:24

      They're applying 1 set of rules for OnePlus but I don't see them writing articles telling people to boycott Samsung's exploding phones or washing machines/dryers that have a habit of lighting on fire. I don't see them telling people not to buy iPhone's that bend or occasionally explode maiming their owners. All of these companies have been hacked. They've all had massive software compromises or have to run bug bounty programs to encourage people to let them know instead of hacking them. I find the article hugely biased against 1 company while the others are doing the same.

      • Blitzfx on 31/01/2018 - 20:29

        Yes that's the point of a hit piece, focused on one company. Thank you for pointing out the obvious bias. I expect people to do their research on other brands when they go make a purchase as well.

        Exploding Samsung phones is a thing yes, but what has the white goods line have anything to do with phone manufacturing?

        I don't see multiple reports of iphones of the same model bending and exploding like on the scale of samsung batteries.

        All forms of digital security are potentially hackable but at least some of them don't report back to China unlike OnePlus.

        And you talk like as if running a bug bounty program is a bad thing. Like as if the alternative is to NOT take any preventative action. Companies don't even HAVE to run it. They run it voluntarily because it's a good thing.

        • Tardvark on 02/02/2018 - 11:01

          Plenty of smart phone manufacturers have sent data back to China: OnePlus, Sony, ZTE, Huawei, Xiaomi, and so on. I don't find it particularly unusual for a Chinese manufacturer to be sending data back to a Chinese server. The issues around data going back to China (the clipboard issue), it never left beta. It was reported, picked up and corrected which seems like the beta process worked as intended. At least they do a beta/early release program.

          What do washing machines and dryers lighting on fire have to do with exploding phones? Nothing and everything. It speaks to a wider issue in the company around QA.

          I never once said running a bug bounty program was a bad thing, your words not mine. My company can ever be presumed to be safe from being hacked.

          The whole article is sensationalist crap written to drum up site traffic.

        • Blitzfx on 02/02/2018 - 14:46

          @Tardvark:

          I don't think you comprehend the gravity of cyber security, personal privacy and Chinese hackers. There's zero reason for a phone to be reporting any personally identifiable data ever as an opt-in default setting or any other unwarranted circumstance.

          You're right that's not particularly unusual for a Chinese manufacturer to be reporting your login details, bank acc etc. to the Chinese government, simply because they're required to hand over all their details to them. Exact reason why in order to do business and sell in China, you must comply with their certifications and regulations, which means opening up your factories and designs to the government.
          There is no recourse for companies to complain about government intervention. They are not a democracy.

          I guess you must be fine with the potential risk for the Chinese government stealing your data. I'm glad our government had blocked the Huawei contract on grounds of national security. Recently America has also dibe the same with their communications hardware.

          You mightn't have once explicitly said it was a bad thing, but why mention then in the first place? What are you implying? One can only assume you bringing it up as a counter argument to actively developing security patches before it becomes a zero day.

        • Tardvark on 06/02/2018 - 00:55

          @Blitzfx: You take exception to China requiring companies to open their data the Govt, but you take not exception to the US Govt. having the same requirements? Boggles the mind. We could sit here for months but at the end of the day your only exception is with the Chinese Govt., everyone else can have your personal data from private companies to any foreign Govt. as long as they're not Chinese. Solid position.

        • Blitzfx on 06/02/2018 - 20:55

          @Tardvark:
          You're right.
          Between NSA's backdoors and Chinese hacker's, I would prefer to use American products. Or even South Korean Samsung. We share much closer values and government than we do with China.

    Hands down the best Android phone I have ever owned. I've had Samsung and Xiaomi(mix). The camera is amazing in portrait mode, makes all your photos look professional. It's very fast at opening, running and switching apps as well.

    The facial recognition on this phone is amazing too, it outperforms iPhone X, I tested this with a friend's iPhone. Can recognize face in dark dim lighting, upside down, with glasses. Sometimes I feel it may be too sensitive, I catch myself unlocking the phone in different situations to see if it works.

    All in all, love the phone, probably best cheaper flagship phone out there at the moment.

    • robertm on 31/01/2018 - 19:03

      Yeah speed and software wise it looks good. The only thing wrong with this phone seems to be low light camera performance. Personally I would spend another $200 or so and get a Samsung s8.

      The mi mix 2s is apparently going to be announced/released at MWC in a months time for anyone thinking about the mix 2. Im holding off to see whats released there.. my mi max is showing its age

        you mean mi mix 3

          How? The 2 just came out and what hardware features could they include? The snapdragon 835 is the latest mobile chipset, they could have 8gb ram instead of 6gb and maybe a higher res screen, but I find the current specs are more than fine.

          @MrSammyMcG: Much like the oneplus 5t was to the one plus 5 (which also only came a few months after the o+5). Its a incremental update, ive seenrumors of a few upgrades but the major one is getting the snapdragon 845 and beating samsung to it. https://www.gsmarena.com/xiaomi_mi_mix_2s_may_be_the_first_s…

    I bought one from this deal, have 10 months to replace my S7 edge which has a smashed back and cracked front. Since it will cost a small fortune to fix and getting sluggish I thought why not. If its fast, decent camera, has fast charging and a good screen it should get me through.

    Yep. This should arrive in around 10 months.
