They are a lot better these days actually. I had quite a few Sony phones too. Like the most recent one that got major updates was x compact and z5 compact to Nougat. Both runs it really well, in fact they felt smoother and more responsive than they used to on MM. Their UI these days are very very lean and well optimised too. :)

Actually having used a Sony before, they are guilty like the Samsungs where when a new phone comes out, the software update slows the phone and makes it buggy

Yeah, they have pretty much the most complete package around for a while now. Always pack in tons of stuff with all the High end and latest components. Hard to fight samsung these days. The only thing is really just whether you can swallow their software or not. Haha.

There are a few tweaks that's can make the experience more bearable. For the bloats, package disabler pro can pretty much disabled any system apps as long as you know what you are doing.

Well said Alex, your wot rant was spot on !!! Didn't realise the cam was almost the same as the 3t though. They hyped so much abt the cam and working with dxo but the most telling thing is, there was No DXO score at all, lol

Yeah. I thought they really pushed the boundaries or what for the cam. End up compromise also like OP3T. The thing is, the results are still quite good. Despite the smaller sensor than most flagship phone, the smaller pixel size, and no OIS. OnePlus image processing actually I think is better than even some more established brand. Like that HDR processing actually looks quite impressive.

But end up it's like when they improve one area (add another camera), they cut back on another area in order to cut cost. If they added OIS, maybe the lowlight and video stabilisation will improve also already. Or go for smaller megapixel and higher pixel size a little, rather than the bragging rights for "highest resolution" dual camera setup.

It's a shame because I think it has so much potential. But anyway, the camera still looks really good according to reviews. I don't think most people will find it bad. Haha. Just that the camera was the thing that Carl Pei was hyping up so much, maybe even to the point of being the reason the price of the phone went up. Haha.

Still thinking on whether to pull the trigger or not.... hahaha.

I raised my eyebrows so many times during the "keynote" because of their BS, I nearly became The Rock liao.

No thanks for this round.

not getting this.

most likely 6mths later. OP5T will be out. Comparing the OP3/T with the OP5. the upgrade is not justifiable.
