    • H32k on 06/01/2018 - 23:48

      kogan sells them for 200 bucks more but warranty is still relatively shit

  • Morri83 on 05/01/2018 - 22:52
    +4

    Looks like a good phone but have a couple of doubts. For 200 bucks more I can purchase an iPhone 8 plus or Samsung s8 plus.
    Plus there will be little resell value on this product after a couple of years. Apples have a particularly good resell value.

    Then the other concern is software updates. I purchsed a xiaomi mi note previously and was stuck on an old android version and some of the Aussie apps (such as Optus sport) was not supported. Could I encounter the same issues with this device?

    Keen to know peoples thoughts

    • ultraboyz63 on 05/01/2018 - 23:02

      Becuase of the questionable warranty you could just put a custom rom on the phone and get the latest updates. I do that with my Moto and it works great and the devs for my rom are constantly updating to the latest security patches and latest versions of Android. I am not sure about the resell. Out of interest how are you going to get an iPhone 8 plus for ~$900?

      • Morri83 on 06/01/2018 - 15:35

        Thanks some good points, think the lack of warranty and risk of apps not working is a deal breaker for me. I saw an Phone 8 plus on a decent data Optus plan for $65 X 24 months. That would value the phone at less than 900 buck - if you don't mind contracting to Optus that is.

      This phone will be getting Android 8.0 as their public beta was updated 2 days ago.

      • AssociatedClear @ Geekbuying on 06/01/2018 - 22:38

        I spoke too soon. OnePlus started rolling out the update today.

    • mkerr on 06/01/2018 - 11:41

      part of the value in a oneplus device is the dev community.
      always really strong and popular
      as an example, the original oneplus one is still developed for, has oreo ROMs available, and still performs reasonably well

      even the xiaomi devices have a big following. as an example, the RN3P has oreo roms that are awesome. the google HDR+ camera app turns the once dodgy pictures to pretty damn good ones.

      warranty is a bit down side though, it's a bit of a gamble

    • TypicalRole on 11/01/2018 - 20:15

      I have the OnePlus 5 and just got an update for Android Oreo. I've had many software updates in the past (way more than I've had with HTC). This is one of the best Android phones I've ever used. OxygenOS is also very close to stock ROM.

  • kimba88 on 05/01/2018 - 22:53

    Screen protector is pre-applied? So the phone doesn't come in a sealed box?

    • AssociatedClear @ Geekbuying on 05/01/2018 - 22:58
      +7

      OnePlus themselves have pre-applied the screen protector. Not GeekBuying.

        Damn you just beat me to it! Good to know I was right tho!

    • ultraboyz63 on 05/01/2018 - 22:58

      The screen protector is applied at the factory for all of the oneplus 5ts (as far as I recall) so I assume it would be sealed box as GeekBuying shouldn't be touching the phones. If anyone knows otherwise let me know!

    • kimba88 on 05/01/2018 - 23:03

      Thanks for clearing that up guys! I'm tossing up whether one of these is worth purchasing. Specs are great. But I recently purchased the galaxy s7 with the good guys deal @ $498. I still haven't opened it, so I can take it back. The thing that turns me away from the oneplus phones at the moment is no expandable memory, lack of Australian warranty and I'm not sure how the camera goes up against the Samsung galaxy S7 or S8. I really need a good functioning camera. If anyone knows how it is, please let me know :-)

        S7 camera is very good. Why not have a look at MKBHD YouTube reviews of these phones?-)

      • ultramag69 on 06/01/2018 - 10:54
        +1

        Camera works fine, though not as good as the Samsung Note 8 it is up there…
        128gb while big still isn't quite what you get. It's more around the 110gb mark after you have all the stock android installed, google apps and that little ol' deficit that the memory makers STILL use to cheat us out of memory (no, 1000mb's is not a kilobyte, 1024mb's is… It adds up when you get to bigger memory). I still believe if they put in an sd card reader this would just about blow a lot of the competition out of the water….
        Yes screen protector is pre-installed but no, box is sealed at delivery, it hasn't been opened.
        The biggest benefit to these phones is they are developer friendly and while not impossible to brick are very hard and mostly recoverable, you just need another backup option for your data…
        Just a side note, this is an awesome price for this phone. If I didn't already have it, and a big christmas bill hanging over my head, I'd be getting it again…
        Cheers guys…

      • robertm on 06/01/2018 - 20:45

        The S7 camera is probably better. S8 is in a different league altogether. Have a look at this thread. The One Plus camera has a lot of issues.

      Same here. Just replaced the screen because I smashed it, and replaced the mics at the bottom (water damage). Now running the latest LineageOS, feels like its brand new :)

    Just wanted to give a thumbs up to GeekBuying.

    Bought a Mi Max 2 with free Australia Direct Line shipping through them on the 22nd of December, it arrived 4th of Jan.
    Not bad delivery for over the Xmas/New years period. The only strange thing about shipping is that there was nothing online until the 31st of December with shipping originating in Adelaide (where I live).

    Overall very good with no issue with delivering to P.O. Box.

  • BargainKen on 06/01/2018 - 10:01

    Bugger. Already sprung for a note 8 256gig

  • Jusebert on 06/01/2018 - 11:54

    Haven't been happy with the Oneplus 3T.

    Notifications and Bluetooth connectivity for certain apps just don't work (ring doorbell app / Fitbit Trackers) and after some thorough googling it seems to be a known issue with the phone. As such I would be reluctant to try another one of their phones even at a good price.

    Apart from those issues I've had though, the phone was good at everything else. Hopefully they have fixed these issues in the Oneplus 5! Good luck!

    I Performed isolation tests to confirm it was the phone with the issues and not the apps or devices as well.

  • ro0sta on 06/01/2018 - 12:42

    Who has this Phone in Aus and can give a detailed verdict on the led notification?

    Can I permanently change colour for. Charging SMS or setup specifically colours for certain in app notification? Eg if I use an email app like TYPEAPP animation have 3 email accounts can I set up 3 different 3 leds based on the address that receives the email? There are simple no reviews good enough that explain this and for. Me it's a crucial feature. I have seen the light is very dim

    Also can all led notifications remain on when screen I turned on or only when off?

    I believe you can trust them, but they do not get orders out with any great hurry. I upgraded to DHL and still haven't got a shipment notification and I spoke to live chat and they advised it can take 7 days to process, was hoping it would be sooner.

    I paid via PayPal so have no worries about my money being at risk, only time can be wasted.

        I queried GeekBuying why people were being asked for proof and I've found out why. In the past there has been a major issue of credit card fraud where people are making high value purchases with stolen credit cards. So GeekBuying have queried payments done outside of Paypal over the value of ~$490 US to confirm if they're genuine.

        Had I known this was the case I would have made it very clear in the OP to pay through Paypal (with instructions on how to setup). What I can do is pass your order numbers directly onto GeekBuying staff and have the check waived so that the order can be processed and sent.

        I'm sorry this happened and will try to help the best I can.

        I agree. In my opinion, their customer service is poor and they have excessively long processing/packing times. Suggest looking elsewhere if you need something quick (as in within a couple of weeks!!!).

          2-7 days is reasonable and common. The problem here was the unexpected CC checks.

    Can anyone vouch for the legitimacy of the site? Wanna buy this phone but what everyone is saying is turning me off, Might just buy it from Kogan even though its $899 :/
