the ONEPLUS 3

[Mclairs83]

I suspect the units on qoo10 and other 3rd party online are selling the cheaper china units and flashing them to international firmware.

no problems with that except you will not get the bands that are offered in sg, especially by singtel.

True in a sense, however, i got no problem getting LTE bands when i'm on Sinktel.

HK set is A3003. Bought one from oneplus hk online store!!!!

if u bought direct, then could be A3003. Qoo10 maybe is from china den ship to HK den HK ship back to SG.

 

[keel]

yes, the china sets should work well but just wanted to maximize for future proofing.

any advice on shipping from hk cheaply would be much appreciated.

According to the spec, all the same (https://oneplus.net/hk/3/specs).
The diff is :

North America model
WCDMA: Bands 1/2/4/5/8
FDD-LTE: Bands 1/2/4/5/7/12/17/30
CDMA EVDO: BC0

Europe / Asia model
WCDMA: Bands 1/2/5/8
FDD-LTE: Bands 1/3/5/7/8/20
TDD-LTE: Bands 38/40

China model
WCDMA: Bands 1/2/5/8
FDD-LTE : Bands 1/3/7
TDD-LTE: Bands 38/39/40/41
TD-SCDMA : Bands 34/39
CDMA EVDO: BC0

For Singapore, M1 and StarHub should be OK, only Singtel - LTE Band 8(900) not supported.

thanks for confirming, haliotis81.

can share who you shipped with and how much?

I want to ship to sg by using borderlinx. This was not possible due to they cannot ship products with battery in it. Heng! My brother going hk for holiday. My brother escort my VIP phone back!!!

 

[strawberrymilk]

hmm, lazada removed their listing?

 

[keel]

I was similarly concerned with borderlinx on shipping embedded lithium batteries and checked with them on this matter. this is their reply and it seemed ok to ship one normal smartphone.

But I think the one sold on qoo10 by Expansys is also A3000

You are right, Expansys is selling the A3000 version.

Sorry did not explain clearly. Singtel has 3 LTE bands 3/7/8, so though OP3 China model does not support Band 8, but the other 2 bands are OK.

Coincidently, met one guy working at Raffles City Convention Center today for the F1 ticket collection, using OP3 with same case as me. Wonder if you are here too.

Seems like it. Sian. Still looking for a A3003 variant. Looks like borderlinx is the only way?

Those looking for the A3003 set can head down to HiTec Mobile at Bugis junction. Just got my set there at $670

That's expensive!! Does it comes with any warranty?

 

[Asslann]

Anyone mind advising what the lack of band 8 means?
Does it only mean that 4G may be slightly slower?
And affect calls sometimes?

I use wifi mostly, so I guess it won't affect me much?

Thanks in advance

As I understand, LTE Band 8 only Singtel is supporting, M1 and Starhub not affected. Not sure whether LTE will be slower if no band 8.
