The fact that u can flash custom roms, kernels and root till the cows come home and your warranty is not void, and the dev community is fantastic, might be even better than the nexus/pixel

Dev support is the sole reason why I'm jumping from iP6 JB to OP5 without second thoughts. Even S8+ and the beautiful screen can't sway my decision.

Exactly! when I was on the OP1 and moved to Nexus 6p, I was surprised even the Nexus 6p's dev community wasn't as good as OP1. I'm sure with the Pixel, it's even worse since less people bought it.

Actually..I am wondering why are people still interested in OnePlus phones?

The price is no longer on the low side.

The specs, while on the top range, may be overkill for a mobile phone.

The software...isnt particularly unique.

The software support is....questionable.

The physical look is...nothing to exclaim about.

What's left...? Brand loyalty....? That ringer switch..?
OxygenOS is pretty good. Close to stock android but comes with more customisation.
Price is no longer cheap, but still cheaper than most 835 devices and it has more RAM than some. The only cheaper 835 phone is Mi6, but it is very small. As for the physical look, "iPhone 7 Plus at half the price" :s13:. No OIS for camera is a deal breaker for me so no OP5 for me right now.

Good EIS can match the OIS experience.. Pixel is a good example for it.. It can hold its own against the best there..

Hoping that oneplus has done enough to make the camera shine with a very good EIS.

OP5 will get an update for 4k EIS but until then, play around with other phones 1st. I'm more curious at how OP5 is priced in SG.

Bro so far how's it? The camera really cui? Pls give your impression and review. Wah I thought deliver 7th July, so fast come alr!

Camera is better than my iP6, so I'm satisfied. If I really want to take super nice photos I have my dslr so cam is not so important to me.

But it feels great! It's so thin and responsive and I really like it :D
