I am thinking of upgrading from my OP5 to this during 11/11 Just want to check a few questions before deciding if I should wait for OP9 or just buy this.

1) Did anyone received any screen with green tint?
2) Is the 5G band on this phone applicable for our local Telco?
- Cause our telcos started offering 5G, want to make sure it can be used first before buying so I can future proof, unfortunately I can't tell 5G bands apart.

Other than occasionally drop to 3G when making phone calls, the rest are good but not top notch.
However, I must say I'm underwhelmed as I switch from OnePlus 5T. Totally don't feel like a 3 years upgrade, more like 1 generation improvement. SD 865 is not much improved compared to 835 in terms of daily usage. Continue to bite the dust chasing Apple silicon for the foreseeable future.

r u comparing in terms of speed? the chips together are supporting the user for many years of usage.

same for apple, u will not feel any difference using 12 from 11, but few years down the road, the 12 will definitely feel faster than the 11.

If oneplus still updating the OS, I might consider continue using my OP5T

I agree OP5T is still a great phone but without OS support, i just feel something missing out

If I'm not wrong, OnePlus stops OS upgrade for 5T

Same. The only reason I upgrade is because they stop patching even before 3 years. Kind of pissed off but this phone is the cheapest among the decent bunch. No choice. Sigh

It should be from iPhone 8 to 12 for my case. 3 generations.

It's one of the better screens. But they didn't test other phones like the ROG3. Next to it, the 8T pales in comparison.

Once update to the latest firmware Ota the gpay stopped working.😂😭

Lol... Reset phone.... Now appears to work. Had the failed security message. Very buggy.

OnePlus wasn't like this.... Is it android 11? Used OnePlus 6, 6T, 7, 7T pro, 8 pro. All a charm to use.
