Let me wake you up from first world dream...

Using it side by side with 5x which has WiFi ac, I don't find any difference when surfing web, watching YouTube, downloading apps. I even use both to download a big 1gb file and both did almost same time.

As I mentioned before, the network bottleneck is not between your phone and your router. The speed between your router to the destination overseas servers is the bottleneck. Does not mean you have 300mbps speed at home is equal to same to overseas.

Overall, in fact I find the opx more fluid and open apps slightly faster than 5x....wierd but it seems the sd801 has not much throttling compared to sd808/810.

Other than marshmallow which is not obvious when using compared to lollipop, the opx experience to me makes no difference at all compared to 5x.

I will compare the camera and batt life after a few days of usage.

The build quality and size is really a league of it's own. Seldom can find a good phone at good price and good size that runs Android smoothly nowadays.

thanks for your comprehensive review, really appreciate it. i am looking for a small fast phone (like mi4i size but that was too slow/laggy thus sold it away)

like u now i am also using an n5x but even 5.2" i feel a bit large

as i posted in a previous post in this page, not so much about 5Ghz and 2.4Ghz speed for OPX. but more of my whole home network is 5Ghz only thus i have to reset everything if i want the OPX to work.

as for why my home is 5Ghz, bro believe me there is a VAST different when running the desktop and laptops.

also, does not seem prudent to be taking a step back in wifi tech when 5ghz is the way moving forward

anyhow, thanks for your input :s12:

I started another full charge at around 5 today and use it almost all the time on WiFi. Messaging, taking photos, replying company emails, watching YouTube....

Now left about 54% batt with almost 3hr SOT. Not too shabby....quite comparable to OPT and slightly better than 5X in my experience.

Basing on this rate, I guess a 5-6hrs SOT on WiFi and 4-5hrs SOT on LTE is norm for this phone, excluding gaming of course.

Will monitor further and report back.

So far, using for 2 days...

Pros:
- camera quality is acceptable, not flagship but near. It's OPT quality.
- screen, its very bright. I only turn on 20% and its very bright already. On OPT and 5x, I will need 40-50% to match its 20% brightness. It's very sharp and colourful, typical amoled quality. No complains. Very white also, not yellowish.
- battery life, same as OPT. Can get me 4-5hrs SOT average use. Which is also similar to 5x.
- CPU, fast enough for day to day usage. Never experience any lag so far. In fact, it open apps faster than 5x which is faster than OPT. Probably sd801 is very efficient in heat dissipation, so no need thermal throttling. It's also cool to the touch, never really gets warm even during gaming asphalt 8.
Build quality, its damn good. It's iphone4 quality if you can remember. My bro who is die hard iPhone fans told me he like it very much. He finds the 4.7" of ip6 too small and 5.5" of ip6+ too big, this 5" is a sweet spot. He even told me to sell opx to him when I get bored of it. This is saying a lot coming from a iPhone fanboy.

Cons:
- can't think of any yet for my usage as I dont use nfc and no 5ghz ac WiFi to me also OK since internet bandwidth to overseas never go more than 50mbps in my experience.
- hard to find cases and tempered glass but I managed to order them via qoo10 yesterday so no issue.
- sdcard, not working well as reported in many forums. Heard firmware update coming soon to resolve it.

In summary, its a nice looking, good build quality phone that does everything well, but not outstanding in any areas. Nice price and sensible size and weight makes it a very nice phone to use and to be seen using.
