I'm in the market for a Oneplus 3 (or potentially 3T), just wondering if there are any good deals and anything I should be looking out for.
Specifically, I'm referring to the models A3000/A3003. Not entirely sure of the difference.
Also, I'm aware the models branded 'Flashed OS' are typically the chinese models opened and flashed with english roms. Major concern/Warranty considerations?
I believe that the A3000 is the American model - no good for Australia. There is model A3010 also. Not sure of any current deals but I bought an a3010 64GB model from DWI which is currently listed for $599 http://www.dwidigitalcameras.com.au/astore/OnePlus-3T-C1916.… DWI has a 12 month warranty. It's a great phone for the price
The OnePlus 3T 128GB (AU$620) is great value for money.
The OnePlus 3 64GB (AU$500 ) is even greater.
However, they both lack Band 28… and aren't a good fit for Aussie 4G.
And to get it in Australia, you'd be forgoing the promotions and introducing middle-men/grey market which ups the cost.
Not to mention the lack of warranty or customer support.
….you may as well get a Samsung Galaxy S6/S7 or an iPhone instead.
Or agree to downgrade from the OnePlus 3, to something like a Nexus 5X ($350) or a Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 ($220).
A used Nexus 6P 64GB ($450) is still a great device… too bad it; lacks OIS, lacks waterproofing, bendgate, QSD 810 is slow, inefficient, overheats.
as far as I could tell DWI have the 3t for 599 (can be had for 589 with coupon). from research the 3010 has the same bands etc as the 3003 for the 3t (different than the 3).
Got mine from GearBest for just under $600. Paid the extra ~$9 for priority shipping, sent Friday and arrived Monday. Only had for a week but it's been great so far
This is the A3010 - I'm assuming they opened and flashed Oxygen OS as Google play and services were already installed but it looked factory sealed.
lack of b28 kills this for me, otherwise this is my dream phone
now considering zte axon 7
The A3003 3T is currently $633 (not including shipping) at eGlobal.
