Anyone else a little annoyed they're releasing a new version already with dual camera for almost the same price that the standard plus released with? I know it's still basically the same phone with a slightly larger screen and improved? Camera. But I'm definitely a little peeved
Yup it is a little annoying but Lenovo seem hell bent on having more models in the market than anyone else.
I am also a little annoyed by it. Planned obsoleteness at it's finest.

Nope. As with many things electronics if you wait a day, week, month, year, something better will come along. One can either choose to wait and wait for the newest best thing and never buy anything, or they can buy now and not worry about it. As with many things as new products are introduced existing products are reduced in price (or discontinued).
The rumored specs of the soon to be released new Moto phones have been circulating for a few months now. One could have waited to buy the new phone if they wanted. <shrugs>
My only concern with Moto introducing so many different models of phones is their support (firmware updates, bug fixes) for all phones will suffer. In typical Motorola fashion, the updates/fixes for the Moto G5 Plus are already lagging months behind.

This is not planned obsolescence. Releasing a successor to this device does not change a single thing about this devices performance or usability.

Yeah, the thing is, it still kinda is. They know people want the newest, best stuff. No reason that the G5 plus couldn't of had these little extra features they've added to the G5S. But this way, they get even more money out of people because they know they will buy it.

No, it isn't. The device still has the same specs. Just because something came out with the same price and slightly higher specs doesn't mean our phones have been downgraded. It doesn't change the performance of the phone. What they ARE doing, however, is taking advantage of people's lack of self control and tech addictions. They can come out with a SD835, 6GB RAM model tomorrow for $50 less than what I paid for my G5 plus and I wouldn't care the slightest bit. I love my devices and I love technology, but if you always have to have the absolute best technology or absolute best deal at all points in time, you will never be happy and will constantly complain when technology moves forwards and you failed to predict the next item being released.
Not really, we all knew what we got when we bought this phone. Its not an powerhouse, it doesn't have the best camera, its just a good decent phone. If they slapped the Lenovo tag on it it wouldn't be such a big deal.
It's still a good phone that you can easily use for 2 years. Plus the specs are nearly the same so I am guessing the software is going to be pretty close together too. If they just keep rolling out updates I really don't see the problem.

If it was the same spec it would be called the Moto G5 Plus, clearly there are differences to make it yet another model.
So then, bigger screen, better camera(s) full metal body and the same price as what the G5 Plus was.
We've been shafted lads and lasses.

6 months is a very long time in the tech world. Most flagship device at least comes down one third in price in 6 months. In comparison I have to say that g5 retained some good value.
Moreover I am not seeing it as a big update either.
Sent from my Motorola Moto G (5) Plus using XDA Labs
No not really... This phone works fine and it'll continue working fine even when that new model comes out.
In my opinion it's not a replacement of the g5 plus but it's a different phone in the same lineup. For example I haven't considered the g5 plus because of the screen that is too small for me, but I'm definitely considering to buy this one.
I'm just waiting to see how the g5s plus performs in real life and how much community support it will have.
Sorry to resuscitate such an old thread but I was just wondering how hard it would be to port a ROM over for the g5s+ or if there might be Dev support for it. The specs look EXACTLY the same except for the better camera and bigger display. If there will be Dev support I might be interested in buying one as they're on sale for the holidays.
Why do people say the S plus is a better camera?
Just because it has two doesn't make it better.

Right! From all reports I've seen, the G5S+ camera does not perform well. However, I understand the camera 2 api is enabled on that device, so I'm very annoyed that it's not on the G5+. But in hardware terms, the G5S+ is a big yawn, for me.
As far as I'm concerned dual cameras are nothing but a gimmick, in most cases. There are a few implementations that work well, but most are hit or miss. Coupled with a screen that's larger than I want, it all adds up to an unappealing package. Obviously, others' mileage varies.
If the oneplus 5T/6 is the same as the oneplus 5, just with no bezels and waterproofing, would you buy it?
No bezels and waterproofing makes it not the same. With a new screen means no jello effect so it would definitely make me purchase one again. I'd hopefully a bigger battery and 1440p screen as well.
No is too big for me.
I am already already with the 5.5 inches overstrained but as far as first will be with the remain.
Nope, I like the bezels and the current design of the O5.
Well if oneplus 5T comes out then Op6 is coming in 6 months or so its not worth upgrading from Op5 to Op5T.
Nothing out today is worth upgrading to. Maybe next year.
If not more expensive than the OP5, there's a lot of chances. (not owning a OP5 currently, wanted to but it's out of stock)
Wow, that's not even a question I'm buying the 5t as soon as I can click submit on the order page. Then I'll sell my 5 later, then when the 6 drops I'm gonna attend early drop & hopefully I can decipher the code quick enough to get the big bundle half off. So yes, I'm getting any phone, that's a upgrade, that oneplus releases. I'm on iT, it's so easy to resell a OnePlus phone too, after you buy your upgrade sell the old one when you find a good buyer, for example I bought the 5 first, then listed my midnight black 3t for 420 on Craig's list 8 days later it sold, Same with my oneplus 2 I sold it for 150 3 months ago. OnePlus is the business. Their phones are popular so people buy them used all the time, you can have your cake & eat it to. Get the 5t & the 6 Bros
Its a waste of money if you have a 5 already. The hardware will be exactly the same minus a different design.

One Plus was previously caught making phony posts on various sites to create enthusiasm for upcoming phones. Does this post seriously sound legitimate to anyone? Not only does this sound like a corporate commercial but posts almost identical to this one turned up on XDA a couple months ago when rumors of the 5T first surfaced.
If there is an OP5T the resale value of the OP5 will likely drop by 70-80% overnight because most people aren't going to want to purchase an OP5 with a defective display if there is an OP5T without the defect. Anyone who thinks this phone will have good resale value is nuts.
Most people don't even know what "Jelly Effect" is or even will notice it.

Probably not for me. The vertical space in the screen is minimial when you take into fact that you have to use the nav bar on the bottom now instead of the capacitive buttons, and then then the finger print scanner moves to the back, too. So basically you get an extra 1/4 inch of usable screen, plus I prefer the finger print/home where it is.
It'll be nice for videos and games, and water proofing is nice (if it has that), but I think I'll just wait another 7 or so months for a real upgrade. But who knows. Maybe I'll become envious and buy one!

I'm still rocking the OPOne, I was hoping to upgrade to the 5 when it was released, but the outdated design and lack of waterproofing, made me hold off. If the 5t/6 has the larger screen ratio and waterproofing, I'm in. I'd really like the main camera to have OIS though. Was leaning towards the LG V30 before the 5t rumors began.
1080 x 2160 vs 1440 x 2880 pixels (FHD vs QHD) and the pixel density has me a little concerned, will wait to see the reviews just in case.
If the 5T/6 releases as OP describes (no difference other than waterproofing and minimal bezels) then it's definitely a no go for me

Listen I really like the OnePlus phone I don't appreciate being accused of some Peddler pushing to OnePlus phone I love the OnePlus phone it makes me very very very happy and the discussion
No, One+ is supposed to be the cheap flagship killer. At $800Aud the 128 version was too much but I bit the bullet. Granted it is cheaper, in comparison , to the new flagships coming out, but the price is getting ridiculous....
It is a good phone but the lack of a memory card is the killer for me.
Like the RAM, camera is OK but definitely not the best.
If I was paying around the $500 for it I might be a bit more lenient but I still want my sd card...
One thing, love the fact it isn't a glass phone that MUST be wrapped in bubble wrap and cotton wool to make sure it doesn't get shattered or scratched with use but this still isn't a reason to get another One+...

Yeah, me personally, I'd be happy with great features and build quality, and skimp a little on CPU to lower the cost.
Give me the snapdragon 660/670 with 6GB of Ram, OIS camera, IP68, QHD+ and a tough metal backing.
Was wanting the pixel 2 xl but price killed it.. I lile the higher res screens .. and currently have a nexus 6.. so anything smaller screen wise wont do.. so this looks promising.. how does the current 5 work with Verizon? Saw the price drop on the Essential but seems to be plagued with network issues on Verizon. Also no root yet... Ouch

Yes, at a decent price and with the display mounted correctly (no jello effect...)
Is been only 3 months since I got my Op5 and there is already a new phone. Why OP why?
Saw the official post on instagram.
The phone will still be the same. I got mine by the end of july and i dont regret it at all
Because that's the way it goes. Same as people who open an new thread for similar questions that's already been answered.
My question is: "Why not?"
I'm gonna be pissed if it's not waterproof. Then it's really just large screen and slightly better front cam based on the rumors.
hopefully they kept capacitive keys, too, otherwise there's even less incentive to upgrade.
I agree
...with OP, this is ridiculous.
It was one thing for OnePlus to come out with the 3T, to incorporate the off-cycle introduction of the Snapdragon 821. But they now expect to support 2 flagship phones a year, every single year? They expect customer loyalty, when they just chose to obsolete us every six months? Insanity.
If your marketing tactics have a loyal, repeat customer such as myself wondering ”why the hell did I even buy this thing?" after only 5 months, you've failed.

Why not? I have this phone from June and i'm happy to have a new variant borderless & APN optimized. It's the same CPU/RAM, so performances will be the same, it's not a mandatory to change mate !
Ofcourse its not mandatory to change but when I buy a new phone, I dont expect the company to release new *flagship* killer phones every 6 months. I mean that's insane.
I mean, I'm sad because if you end up releasing new phones every 6 months with some changes to the previous models, I would always keep waiting as a consumer to buy a new phone from the company because I want the latest model.
Imho, they are just losing customers releasing new phones this quick.
I have a brilliant idea: Only buy the T revision phones, instead of being impatient. That will also teach OnePlus a lesson when their sales plummet.
If the jelly screen bug from oneplus 5 is gone i will get an 5T to replace my Mi6.
Really miss the 3.5 headphone jack.

I genuinely don't mind flogging my OP5 in favor of putting up an extra £100 and buying the 5T.

It should be atleast 50$ costlier than 5
Other smartphone manufacturers do this as well. It actually maximises sales.
The 5T isn't marketed to 5 owners. They're going after 3/3T owners looking to upgrade.
They should have added a microSD card slot, how much more can it be? The phone is big and already has room for it.

These days, people are after big screens, headphone jacks and large batteries. I think storage options seem to be okay with the 128gb in there. 256 would have been welcomed I suppose.
I would be happy to get updated phone even every 6 months or so, that would perfect.
Just came across the unboxing video link..
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lTBqHpPWm5E
Very frustrated with the all-too-frequent need to go into Android Auto and reset everything just to get mapping to work, and not having the phone dialer integration working, and so on... Not to mention this monitoring program running in the background that nobody seems to know for sure what it is doing, what it is sending and to where it might be sending things....
So, after initially being happy with the phone, it has turned sour, and I'm looking to move to something lese, but not ready to pay a small fortune for it. What are you all considering for your next phone purchase? Probably not Huawei/Honor....
I loved the 6X, but my relationship with the 7X was sour out of the box. Maybe I was being too harsh but it really should have launched with oreo and came with USB type C. Aside from a hardware issue I had with my particular device, all the issues I had with the software have supposedly been fixed with the oreo beta. So I ordered it again and will have to definitely give it another shot because I did like the phone, it's hard to beat especially for $200. I know a lot of others will say the MI A1 is better, but not having a US based service center sucks. And I couldn't wait for Motorola to announce the G6 series. After my tenure with the 7X though, I plan to spend a little more and see what else Honor/Huawei has to offer. As long as they continue to sell the devices in the US on Amazon. With Best Buy dropping Huawei, who knows if they'll continue to make phones for the US market.
The Good..The Bad..The Ugly
Quite The Polarizing Device.. This 7x..
It looks so cool..
It was thought to be the "Next Big Thing" here at XDA.
But.. It never panned out that way.
It's compelled it's owners to throw caution to the wind.. root and brick there devices like there's no tomorrow..
with no clear cut way to recover it.
Quality Control is not the best.. either you get one that works perfectly (yeay! I did) or you get one with dimming
issues.. lagging issues.. touch registration issues.. heat issues etc.
But.. for a Stock device that had none of the issues mentioned, it's without question.. the best $199.00 your cellular
dollar can buy.
That is.. IF YOU DON'T MIND BEING MONITORED BY PARENT COMPANY HUAWEI.. (see pic)
Glad I Don't Bank On My Device.
The International Samsung Galaxy S10 will be my next device April of 2019
Until then my completely stock perfectly working Honor 7x will do just fine.
I'm brand new (just a few days) to the Mate SE. Love the phone... so far (will be checking for monitor app running soon). But would Huawei be that stupid? to be under suspicion by the authorities, and then have a snooping app obviously running and call it 'monitor'?
Possible I guess, but wow, hard to imagine. Was disappointed to read today that BB will no longer be carrying Huawei phones. I'm hoping to get the M5 tablet, maybe Amazon or last resort their usa website.
They sell phones all around the world, they are very popular. Is there ** any ** factual evidence of nefarious behavior?
Returned mine. Imonitor spyware ran continuously.
Also their support app requires access to your contacts and phone.
Don't think so Huawei.

Weighing in with my opinion of this device after almost a month of use...
I absolutely have no problem with it, honestly.
Do I have a bit of a buyer remorse? Somehow, after I bought the phone the note 5 pro was announced, the chipset in it definitely make me jealous. It doesn't help also there is currently some crazy development with the device from the get go.
But honestly, with the horrible availability of xiaomi devices, why should I bother really? The 5 pro probably will never make it to Egypt or an Arab country (I bought the honor from Saudi Arabia), we only have redmi 5 plus and the 64 giga version had a flash sale for an hour and then disappeared without a trace, **** this kind of crap really I'd rather pay a little more and not play any kind of one plus old days crappy games, life is too short.
Back to the honor, I picked it over the redmi 5 plus for 2 reasons other than the availability too, the fact that it's a real metal unibody not half and half and I'd take emui over miui any time of the day (just look at the horrendous bastardization of the recents screen), emui with a theme and a new launcher is almost stock to me, I'm not honestly bothered by anything in the software (I actually like the aggressive battery settings) except for the clear of notifications after unlocking, which is kinda really stupid.
Having project treble almost guaranteed also was a buying reason, it was obvious that honor was committed to bring treble to all their updated devices, I didn't know what is going to happen with xiaomi (back then nobody has seen community treble porting yet), it doesn't help also that the 625 is getting older and older (support wise this means it will get easier to be left in the dust)
I had no issues with the touch, it just seems that Huawei has some kind of different scrolling behavior, the battery has been nice, not legendary, just Nice, the performance has been fantastic so far, honestly I never feel like I'm performing something faster than the device can catch up except in the horrific camera app, which is definitely a software issue that I hope will be fixed in oreo. (That app is a pain to use). Captured photos are nice, a bit on the colder side but manual mode works well for me.
The biggest issue people witness with the phone is the potatoish gpu, I'm not that bothered because the games I have thrown at it worked well (if the slower ones were playable), emulation worked really well especially as I completed prince of persia rival swords completely on the phone, I couldn't ask for more.
If anybody reading this, looking to buy a new phone and has no access to the note 5 pro honestly get the honor 7x, there is currently no better choice I can think of, everybody is praising the Nokia 7 plus as the new budget King and it's almost ****ing 350 euro, I think people's view on what budget means became skewed with how we have 1000 USD phones in the market, 350 USD to 500 USD are NOT budget phones for God sake.
What I would wish for my next phone? Better gpu just for the sake for more future proofing (I plan to stick with a phone for 4 years) and USB C, everything else currently technology wise is not a big deal and nothing in flagships currently is making me jealous, the honor looks fantastically modern (I was a Moto g fanboy but man these leaks of Moto g6 look incredibly ugly with the 18:9 ratio plus a chin, the **** Motorola?). Last thing would be an AMOLED screen, these beautiful true deep blacks must come to budget devices one day.
My 2 cents.
I don't want to wait till June to buy a new phone, but feel like with my luck the second I receive a 5T the OP6 will get released.
I've spent the past couple of days looking at phones. OP5T has the most pros (build quality, software, specs, performance, development, price.)
The Pixel 2 is expensive and aside from the camera, not necessarily a better device (I don't think)
Essential phone seems like a bargain (now)but the camera is subpar.
OP5T cons: apparently not great picture quality and no project treble. These aren't small compromises but they're easier to overlook by because its such an appealing device.
No one wants to hear me talk about phones. If you have a minute I'd REALLY appreciate your input.
Should I buy OP5T? Ideally Id like to use my next phone for 2 years.
Any input is welcome.
Thanks!
I consider the 5t as the best android option
after two years it will still be fast and great
considering that the oneplus 6 is just around the corner I would have waited for it
but still you won't go wrong with the 5t

Thanks. The one supposed downside about OP6 is price. I'm hearing $749. If that's the base model then it might influence my decision.
I'm really leaning toward buying OP5T.
Maybe you can clarify. I've heard that any phone that gets updated to Android P will need to support project treble. Oneplus has stated it won't support project treble which, if I have my facts straight, means there will be no Android P for this phone. That'd suck because this phone was released after Oreo came out. It seems like they purposely held back on O just so they wouldn't need to support treble.
Have you or anyone else heard different? Is it likely the 5T will receive P and according to the rules would need to support treble?
I'm sure this phone will continue to attract developers for awhile but with project treble I'm extremely confident developers will stick around and new ones will emerge. The specs on this phone can carry it for years.
android P and treble being mandatory are still assumptions based on source code this may change in the future and there may be a workaround by oneplus to release it for the 5t but most likely android P will be released for the 5t
so if that what is holding you back don't make it prevent you from buying it will 90% get official android 9
If you want it, buy it...if not then dont.
Although the 5t camera is not considered a high point I think it is very good, using it was above my expectations, but I come from an iPhone 6s where I also found the camera very good, and even then the 5T is more. as speed is something above the ordinary, I was using samsung's and motorolas, using oneplus was a pleasant surprise, I had never seen Android run so fast

Yes I'm aware. That's what made me consider holding out for OP6. Often times when sales stop suddenly like that it means the release date is coming soon. There are rumors it'll launch early. But at $749 for the base model...its a little more than I wanted to spend. There's plenty of new OP5T's on eBay and Amazon.

You may have just convinced me.
That's the part I can't really get a straight answer for. It's a definite that any phone that ships with O is mandated to have project treble. I've heard if it updates to P they need to implement treble but I don't think Google will hold them to that. It could cause problems because some companies might not update to P to avoid treble, and point a finger at Google. Google can blame them but really both parties will hurt a little.
Anyways, I think I'm gonna get one. Thanks

Yeah. I loved my Nexus 6p. If they hadn't botched that battery I'd still be using out.
It's been an adventure since my last post. I looked on eBay and Amazon. The 5Ts are generally selling $700+ unless you buy international version (no warranty)
Plus the reasonably priced ones had some concerning seller feedback.
Figured if I was gonna pay that much I might as well go with a Pixel 2 XL. Found one onWalmart that seemed to good to be true (XL 128GB for $849) but then realized that unlocked GSM/CDMA means locked bootloader so I cancelled the order.
I'm not paying a premium when for a little more I can just wait and buy the OP6.
Sucks though. I was hoping to get one by the weekend. I even considered Swappa because it's a relatively new phone but even there the prices are a little bloated.
If anyone finds a good deal please report it here or private message. Lol! I picking the worst FREAKIN time to buy a 5T.
But why don't you buy it from China? I know that guaranty is a thing, but for 200 USD you can fix it yourself even if it will be a hardware issue.
