New oneplus 5t user here!
Was using the Nexus 6p before this. Everything was okay till the battery started deteriorating. Thought it wasn't worth it to change the battery since there's a few complains for it to last only a few months after that.
So the next obvious choice was to get a oneplus phone, for the stock-ish android feel and snappy performance without the bloatware. Really surprised at how this phone flies through literally everything. Feels a tiny bit faster than my 6p somehow, app loading and basic navigations through the UI. And that face unlock tho.
Got the phone last week from Lazada when the 64gb price was just $619 so it was a no brainer. Came with Android Nougat but the battery life was a beast. 24 hours of use with SOT of 8 hours++. And that was from full charge to 20%. Just updated to Android Oreo ytd and still monitoring the battery life.
Coming from Android Oreo from my Nexus 6p, I'm already used to all the new changes. Gotta love the notification dots and the notification shade changing to the album artwork.
Sure, there's no water resistance, no expandable storage, camera not up to flagship standard, mono firing speaker but there's no such thing as a perfect phone. It depends on which tradeoffs you can live with and depends on your daily usage. Overall, really happy with this purchase. Say no to overpriced phones hahaha.
Btw, what's a good tempered glass that works well with most cases?
