Thinking of buying this phone, what are the ups/downs ?

Hi,
Im thinking of buying this phone, what are the ups/downs ? strengths weaknesses you have encountered.
Do you hate it/love it ? I need to know, i've read too many articles but some seem biased imho.
Thanks alot.

Perhaps not the best phone at everything but the best at its price point at the moment imho.
Depends really what is important to you.

I was trying to decide between this and S7 edge. The latter is a slightly better phone (smaller footprint, better screen and camera, bigger battery, higher cool factor, wireless charging, waterproofness...) and if it was £50 more than Op3 I would have gone for it. But I could not justify the £200 difference and went for the Op3.
And I have no regrets whatsoever. The phone feels a lot more premium that I had expected, it is blazing fast, the batter is also quite good and I have no issues with the screen at all. It is by far the best phone I have ever owned and I generally switch phones every six to eight months so have tried a few.
There is a 15 day money back guarantee so I recommend that you go for it and if you don't like it you can always return it. I suspect that will not be the case though...

Can't speak for anyone else but my favorite things about this phone are:
1) Quick charging. With the Dash charger is very quick, inline with what's advertised. I've charged the phone on a plane using a DC charger and it was fast as well.
2) The finger print reader is super fast.
3) Overall the phone feels fast, much faster than my old Moto X Pure.
Things I don't like:
1) Screen is too dim using adaptive brightness.
2) Sound is weak compared to the Moto X Pure.

the samsung S7/e definitely has better specs, but even if it had a clean stock version of Android (which it definitely does not, TouchWiz sucks), the OP3 is a far more cost effective phone.
A better comparison since now it's almost the same price is the Nexus 6P ($404 on Amazon Prime Day (64GB) for example, and 32GB model has been $380 several times now).
Main differences between these two is:
- QHD vs 1080p (you won't notice unless you do VR)
- OP3 has an alert slider (and disables Automatic DND rules) vs N6P has normal DND mode w/ automatic rules etc
- Camera is better on Nexus 6P (unnoticeable during the day, but during low light photos you can tell)
- Camera App is MUCH faster on OP3 - both at launch and taking photos
- OP3 is smoother/faster & keeps more apps in RAM
- Fingerprint Sensor on front vs on back (both incredibly fast, location is a preference)
- OP3 has optional Capacitive buttons vs N6P has only software buttons
- N6P has Slightly bigger screen (5.7" vs 5.5") and is slightly (20g) heavier - but both are equally thin
- Stock Android M (gets faster updates) vs Oxygen OS (slightly slower updates but has more customization features)

i enjoyed this phone, wanted to keep it, but my 6P takes slightly better pictures. I have kids which i like to photograph whenever i get a chance and it's really important they look best. Its not like the camera is bad or anything, i loved it, in fact. Just think i would stick to my Nexus for now. I also want to try the Axon 7 and need to make the $ back for it lol. However, it was tough to make that decision yesterday

The cons for me;
- no Do not Disturb software. Have to use the slider button. It tends to override 3rd party apps too. May have found one working, but reliability is questionable
- no automated night mode, weak screen dimming software. Again have to use 3rd party, Lux, but having some problem with that app (slows down notification panel)
- I was on a cheap chinese phone last year, but it had a 4000mah battery. Kind of hard to get back to a flimsy 3000mah. Had to install xposed, greenify, Forcedoze, Amplify, trying to boost it to have a decent battery. I couldn't care less about Dash Charge. I charge my phone once a day, and that's while I sleep. I don't carry the Dash charger with me. That is not practical and I hope the people at 1+ and other companies stop ****ing around with the battery size. Device is really light. Really could have used better battery.
- what a poor support. Still couldn't get a refund on the case and tempered glass they had to cancel due to out-of-stock (but still charged me). Ticket is still open going back and forth. Just because of that I will think twice before ordering directly from them.
- I am not a fan of sound coming out from the bottom of the phone. I like ZTE Axon 7 take on stereo sound.
pros
- dev friendly, so roms will most likely fix most software issues
- seems pretty solid. No freeze/crash/random reboots so far, and the only slow downs I experienced in the UI are caused by some compatibility issue I have with Lux permanent notification.
- I like that the home button is capacitive. Won't break due to over use (happened on my last phone)
- providing I find a stable and bug-limited rom, best android phone I owned

You certainly will notice the difference of the Op3's Pen Tile 1080p Amoled display compared with a QuadHD Amoled, even in normal use. That's in direct comparison. Use the Op3 for a while and you likely forget.
As to value, the OP3 is clearly better value than £600 flagships but for me, the benefits the S7(E) has are worth the extra. (I cycle a lot and the water resistance is incredibly useful as is the bright screen).
If the above is not too important I'd thoroughly recommend the OnePlus.
(Still, mine is provisionally sold and soon on its way to its new and probably happy owner).

The previous comments all pretty much sum up what I would have to add. Highly recommend the phone...it's worth every penny of the $399 and then some. Very satisfied with my purchase.
I'm going to make one observation about the screen though. 95% of the time, I can't discern a difference between the OP3's 1080p screen and my old Nexus 6 1440p screen. That 5% kicks in when I want to view photos that I've snapped on the phone. Zooming in to those photos creates a considerable loss in detail. This was not the case with my Nexus 6. Zooming into photos retained so much detail and clarity, even though the N6 camera is not as good as the OP3 camera.
My two cents!

Op3 have some flaws,but not everyone experiencing,which are mostly software related which can be fixed with updates ... But it doesn't mean a flawed phone, rather it is best phone on which money can be spent without too much thinking.
By the way every phone whether it cost some penny or our whole arm and leg, has some flaws , that doesn't mean phone is not good.
Therefore you have read several review blog,device specific sections here on xda which will help you to know what are most common problems with particular phone.If these problems are to severe that software update or dev community can't fix then you have to make careful decision before purchase.
=====
About One plus 3 - It is very strong device,its perfomance is strong in every department,and is above the money you pay .
and that Dash Charge its awesome, ridiculously fast ,70 minutes and is goes from zero to hero

For me it's all about development. This device is more stable, faster and nicer than my previous g3. S7 is fine phone and even tw improve a lot, but on open phone, there are unlimited possibilities, on s7 you have just one.

I would agree that side-by-side you can tell a difference, but it's irrelevant for day to day use.
Also, far more noticeable is the difference in both DPI, and in colors (unless you enable sRGB mode on both phones).

No dash charging on custom ROMs sucks, but OP should be releasing source code for this later this month right?

I can't speak for other countries, I live in The Netherlands for the record.
Now, the big plus for me is the price.
The oneplus 3 only costed me € 399,-
If I were to look for other flagships, I would look at these prices
Galaxy S7 : € 650,- on average
Nexus 6P : € 530,- on average
LG G5 : € 550,- on average
Now my last phone was a 2013 Nexus 5 and honestly I didn't feel that upgrading to a 5X was worth it.
But then if i look at other flagships, prices around here seem to rise exponentially.
Yes, ofc I think that an S7 is a great phone, but € 250,- better on average? (Considering all the bloatware you get with it, Its really not worth that much more. Also no support for development really with locked bootloaders.)
Pro's
- Clean version of android with more features
- No bloatware
- 6GB of RAM (For people who say RAM doesn't matter, try using a Nexus 9 Tablet with its 2GB of memory with a 64-bit OS. You will want to throw the thing out of your window before the end of the day.)
- price to value
- great fingerprint scanner
Cons
- only 1 place where you can buy it (online)
- doesn't have all the features like an S7 has (water resistant etc. )
- Slower updates compared to a Nexus device
- No option to use a schedule for "Do Not Disturb", instead you have a slider. (I like the slider but why the **** did they take out the damn scheduler. I like my downtime every night from 23:00 till around 07:00, Now I have to do it manually.)

Let me just add bad camera quality on custom ROMs.
Hopefully Oneplus will release the camera apk

This or Reno 2?

No brainer question, right? Well, sort of. I'm looking for a decent phone for my wife and considering the market option in SEA, I'm really having a hard time which one to get. Most people would straight away said OP7T got SD855+ and 90Hz display and you're stupid not to get it. So, I'm trying to out-weight one with another and here is my reason-to-have for each phone. Please add in your reasons as well. In Singapore market the prices for both phones are exactly the same at S$899.
OP7T
Pros:
SD855+ for performance
90Hz fluid AMOLED screen
better real-life camera performance (according to the reviews I've watched)
Water-resistant (But no official IP rating)
Android 10 OOTB
OxygenOS (I preferred it more to the ColorOS)
Regular software updates (and quite fast to get new OS as well)
Optical SuperMacro mode.
Cons:
that nipple notch on top of the screen.
12 months installment plan only. (gonna cost me about S$75 a month)
Poor battery life (thanks to the SD855+ and 90Hz display)
ugly camera bump. (do they really have to do that?)
no ultra-wide lens.
no headphone jack. (bummer)
no FM Radio (not a big deal for my wife though)
Oppo Reno2
Pros:
absolute full-screen display
flush camera setup design
that shark-fin pop-up selfie cam
better battery life (thanks to SD730G and 60Hz display)
24 months installment plan (about $33 per month)
stunning overall body design and colors.
ultra-wide lens + 3x telephoto lens
better on-paper camera specs
Cons:
no water resistant (especially when the shark-fin is popped up)
weaker Chip
No 90Hz display
Android 9
ColorOS

OnePlus 7t, it doesn't have poor battery life either

The OnePlus 7t does NOT have poor battery life. IDK where you heard that from. The other phone you speak of has an interior processor and I'm sure it will not get updates as fast as a OnePlus phone.
Also the tear drop notch is actually good looking IMO.

Multiple reviews on YouTube and other tech review websites reported OP7T only got about 6 Hr SOT on light usage (just browsing Facebook, YouTube etc, ) and 4.5~5 hr SOT involving some gaming. Most of them blaming the SD855+ and 90Hz display is the main cause. Yes, the Reno2 got SD730G that you might say inferior, but it yield longer battery life than the 855+.
As a P20 Pro user myself, the notch looks better than my P20 Pro or any other iPhones, but the real full-screen display is really showing off, and that popping-up shark-fin is the wow factor. .
Have to agree on the updates though. OnePlus is the best in pushing down newest updates. Even the sister brand (Oppo) can't match it.

Don't worry about battery life... 7T for the win!

battery life isn't poor. Notch actually looks nice, too small to be an annoyance. If you make any sense you'd put a case on it anyway, so camera hump isnt a factor at least for me.
And nothing beats the OxygenOS, if you compare it to an Oppo.....well

You will not be disappointed with battery life. Check the review section on XDA. There's one that speaks about battery life. Also the 30 watt charger that's included in the box will blow you away with how fast the phone charges.
I've owned/played with pretty much every flagship phone you can think of and I'd say this is hands down one of the best out right now. This IMO should of been the Pixel 4 XL.

OnePlus 7T vs Google Pixel 4 XL

Currently having a Pixel 4 XL as a loaner. I can barely get through the day before I need to recharge the battery. But I do love the Android 10 software on this phone as well as the no compromise camera.
So how's battery on the 7T (with latest sw update) compared to the Pixel 4 XL?
On the Pixel 4 XL I sometimes have problems with the Bluetooth and my ear phones (Bose 700 ANC and Airpods Pro), anyone in here using either of them with the 7T?
How's the camera on the 7T compared with the 4 XL?

Usually get 5-6 hours sot and the camera is decent. Not up to pixel quality but trades punches with Samsung regarding camera. Overall a fantastic device.

I'm using mine with Sony XM3 with no issues over bluetooth. Considering there's no 3.5mm jack it's not like there's any other choice.

I Carnt speak for the OnePlus 7t as I have the 7t Pro McLaren edition but a friend of mine has a 7t and I have had a pixel 4xl and it is a better buy than the pixel 4xl, depending on each individual's use you should see 5-6+ out of it where a any pixel 4xl I was lucky to scrape 5.
7t Pro on the other hand I'm getting around 7-8.
As for the cameras I think it's swings and roundabouts as 7t has features the pixel don't and then the pixel can do better in certain areas..
I believe the 7t is a all-round device it has decent battery, great screen, snappy top performance, versatile camera, audio is decent. Battery is decent,
For me pixel 4 doesn't have a lot going for it especially for its price tag it's well overpriced.
My personal opinion I prefere oxygen os than stock pixel android and I believe many others agree too.
I think the 7t it's a great choice.

Here's my take coming from a Pixel 2xl-
First off the P 2 xl is a great phone and I was excited with all the hype to get the P 4 xl, but I didn't. After the reviews, I was hoping for 5G. I decided to get the OP 7T. It's less money than the P4xl and, for me, more comfortable to hold than the 2xl. The screen quality on the 7T is sick and faster than the 2 xl. Plus unlike Verizon OP offers a payment plan that is ok and you could get a new phone every year, if you want to. It feels like a quality phone. Lastly, OP sends you a starter case AND a screen protector. Thats's money saved.
Battery usage-
Weekdays- heaviest usage
I take the train (6:15am) for about an hour and I lose about 10% if the train is packed up. In that setting ,the phone tries really hard to get out for a usable signal. It gets so slow that any article I want I email to my self. During the day I'll use it for calls mainly because I'm in front of a computer. We don't have office phones so our cell phone are the source of vocal communication. I'll do some light surfing and texting through the day so when 4:30 comes around I'm at around 55-60%. Both train rides consist of podcast listening and surfing/ texting. By the time I get home I'll be at 45%. I don't plug it in, for the night, until around 11, which puts me at around 33%. So for my style the battery is fine.
Now go figure your phone's daily life and you'll see where the power goes. On weekends I'm not on the train so by the time I go to bed I'm probably at 45-55%

I came from the pixel 4 and was also plagued by bad battery (worse than the 3 honestly)
The 7t is a nice compromise until Google gets their **** together and makes a phone that's actually worth the outrageous price tag.
Ufs 3.0
3300+ mah
Wide angle camera
If the pixel 5 doesn't have this I'll be buying the OnePlus 8t lol

I loved my Pixel 2XL but opted for the 7T over the 4XL. The camera on the Pixels is killer, especially considering it's using a 2016 sensor. Google's choices for hardware is a bit of a enigma lately .. the Nexus line used to be a budget friendly near-flagship phone with features designed to move Android forward (e.g. they were ahead of their time). The only reason it didn't sell like hotcakes from the killer price/value is the availability/marketing wasn't strong like other brands - more niche.
They fixed that with the Pixel line but now lag behind in other areas .. the fact their flagship doesn't even win the category they put the most effort in shows they're not really trying .. other manufacturers have moved on to newer sensors to compete (and surpass), yet Google is sticking with software tweaks gen after gen on the same sensor. You do that on budget phones, not flagships. I think Google could probably do killer work software wise using the 48mp (2018) sensor in the 7T with improved optics because of the ability to get more pixel information for their algorithms before downsizing to 12mp.
Their shift to compete against Apple / Samsung on the flagship side has led them to be in a gray area where the value/price is now flipped ... I wouldn't consider them a good value. They don't do enough to compete against the flagships, yet they're commanding flagship pricing (heck, the 4 still has the same camera sensor and RAM as the prior 2 gens). The 'A' variant seems to be the better value from them.
---
To answer OP's Q .. in my tests, the OnePlus 7T camera holds up to my Pixel 2XL (I know, not the 4XL). It seems to lack some sharpness and vibrance in the color, but that can be fixed in software if I really need.
For battery life, you can tweak the system if rooted using apps like LSpeed .. I did this on my 2XL and got around 7.5hrs SOT (less after 2 years because if battery aging). Haven't used the 7T enough to know, but I'd assume it'll however around 6-7 with similar tweaks.
The one major downside about the 7T is that there's very little development life compared others.

General I like my F62 better than my S22 Ultra

I've owned my S22 Ultra exynos for over 2 months and recently I decided to go back to my F62 and sell the S22.
Things I really like about the M62 / F62;
Side fingerprint sensor. The S22 Ultra has the in screen sensor, not only do I dislike the position of it on screen but when you add a screen protector you get many failed unlocks (this is after re-registering prints). I think the side mounted sensor feels a lot more organic to use.
Side fingerprint gestures. I really enjoy being able to swipe down on the side fingerprint sensor to open notifications.
Go to settings > adv features > motions and gestures > finger sensor gestures. It's a great feature that MIUI phones don't have.
Battery life. Pretty obvious this one. The best type of phone is the one that works because it has juice. Yesterday I had 8hrs45 screen on time and still had 24% battery remaining. The S22 would have been dead around 7hrs.
SD card and 3.5mm jack. Both of these are missing from the S22 Ultra
I mostly just use my phone for YouTube and web browsing. I also go cycling and use the phone as a dash camera or GPS maps.
I imported my F62 from India to the UK and I've been super happy with it.

Agreed. Samsung is nuts.
I could have gotten any of the Notes or the S renamed Notes Samsung must think its loyal power users and majority of flagship buyers are fools. Samsung destroyed their own niche market, brilliant. not.
Samsung gave me no choice for a new flagship phone that had the features I needed. All they had were trinkets and hype I didn't want or need to sell to me...
I choose another N10+ for the SD card slot, better form factor, better display color rendering index, less weigh, right handed spen, Android 10 not 11 or 12, good battery life 8-11 hrs SOT*.
A proven, reliable gorgeous work horse. This one in my hand will be 3 yo this September. It looks nearly identical to the new one, the display has no observable deterioration or detects with thousands of hours on it. The whole phone has held up extremely well, superb build quality. One replacement battery (going on 2) is the only repair. Current OS load is 2 yo and running well.
This phone is still fun to use and snappy fast.
*tradeoffs
Display, non variable refresh rate for better color rendering index and battery life
No 5G, been nice but not needed. 4G streams acceptably and generally uses less battery.
The low latency spen been nice but it nests on the wrong side.
Cams, again nice to have but the N10+ is a good shooter.
Expandable memory, not negotiable; the phone must support it.
Faster cpu and ram been nice but in real time use the speed increase is largely negligible and this gain is hamstrung by scoped storage on Android 11 and up. Android 9/10 aren't debilitated as scoped storage isn't fully active in 10.

Question Considering OnePlus 11 or Motorola Edge+ 2023

Recently, I unfortunately bricked my trusty Motorola Moto G 5G (2022), my first-ever smartphone. It served me well with its decent performance despite having a MediaTek SOC. Now, I'm in the market for a new phone, budget is not a major concern for me. After some research, I've narrowed down my options to two potential contenders: the OnePlus 11 with 256GB storage and the Motorola Edge+ 2023 with 512GB storage.
Here's the catch: I've never had any hands-on experience with a OnePlus device, so I'm unsure about what to expect, especially after being accustomed to Motorola's close-to-stock Android UI. My top priority is the quality of the cameras, which is why I'm leaning towards the Motorola Edge+ over the OnePlus 11, and that would be mainly due to the OnePlus selfie camera only being at 1080p. However, I'm open to recommendations or suggestions for other phones that I should consider.
Ultimately, my main concerns are battery life, camera performance and quality, and overall device performance. I'm not too concerned over gimmicks like waterproof or wireless charging since I've never used or needed that.
https://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=12251&idPhone2=11893

I've used both and they're fairly evenly matched:
Pros for the Motorola Edge+:
+Near stock Android UI is the fastest and smoothest experience I've ever had on Android
+165 Hz screen is smoother and more vibrant, despite lower resolution
+512 GB Storage is nice to have
+Better wi-fi stability
+Ready For allows better interfacing with TV's and laptops
+Slightly better battery life
+Wireless Charging and Water resistance are nice. If you plan on keeping the phone long term, wireless charging reduces wear and tear on the charging port.
+Center hole punch for symmetry. Clock isn't awkwardly moved to the right of the hole punch
Cons for the Motorola Edge+
-No Always on Display
-No 12 or 16 GB RAM option but I noticed no performance difference
-Shorter length of promised updates
Pros for the OnePlus 11:
+Higher resolution screen
+16 GB RAM option
+Slightly better cameras
+Always on Display as an option
+Promise of longer software support
Cons for the OnePlus 11:
-OxygenOS 13 is very awkward and even simple operation doesn't follow the typical Android behavior. Swiping notifications sometimes gets stuck. You can't set a custom DPI and have it survive a reboot.
-While mostly fast, there are occasional stutters not seen on Motorolas, especially scrolling.
-Third party launchers don't play nicely with gesture navigation.
-Corner hole punch means awkwardly placed clock
-No Wireless charging could be an issue down the road
-Wi-Fi Stability isn't the greatest.
If you're looking for the fastest, clean stock experience, the Motorola is hands down the way to go. Build quality is great on both as are the speakers. It's amazing how similar they look and feel.

-OxygenOS 13 is very awkward and even simple operation doesn't follow the typical Android behavior. Swiping notifications sometimes gets stuck. You can't set a custom DPI and have it survive a reboot.
-While mostly fast, there are occasional stutters not seen on Motorolas, especially scrolling.
-Third party launchers don't play nicely with gesture navigation.
-Corner hole punch means awkwardly placed clock
-No Wireless charging could be an issue down the road
-Wi-Fi Stability isn't the greatest.
If you're looking for the fastest, clean stock experience, the Motorola is hands down the way to go. Build quality is great on both as are the speakers. It's amazing how similar they look and feel.

Thank you for that reply!! It is very helpful in making my decision. After considering the value of the Rescue and Smart Assistant (LMSA) rescue tool and the convenience of moto gestures and gimmicks, I am going to choose Motorola once again. I really like the option of monthly payments offered on the Motorola website, which is my preferred payment method lol.
The absence of an AMOLED screen, or AOD, is a drawback, and I am curious about the camera quality on newer Motorola devices... In my past experience, I have noticed that images taken with Motorola tend to appear excessively bright and sharpened, while videos often suffer from flickering exposure and fuzzy in low light. but these issues may have been specific to my previous "junky" phone..

Corrected, see the explanation below.

Really? The specs online say plastic OLED...

Here is a breakdown. Rest assured that the screen looks incredible and I find the colors punchier than the OnePlus 11.
