Already one plus 5!

And yet still no official reseller, distributor bringing in to Singapore.

So scary $700+ no warranty.

Good performance phone but don't dare to risk Sia.

as tempting as OP5 is, I think better to wait for OP5T or whatever.

this camera set up isn't the best, many complaints on XDA and reddit on the quality. for that $800 or so that you're paying, might as well get a HTC U11, S8 or Huawei P10 Plus.

my point is... OP5 is excellent, many merit points. but are these points worth shelling out $800 for an EXPORT set with no warranty? I think not. the compromises they made this year were bad imo (IPxx resistance, camera... those are the "trend" this year)

seems like 1 and 3/3T were their best efforts. the even years for OnePLus not so good haha

Agreed, I still am using my OP3, and it works fine, the one caveat I actually have is that there is no local warranty for this phone. I like the fact that I have a phone that not a lot of people know about, but the risk is starting to get bigger, as the OP3 is not officially advertised as water resistant, and the other day my phone dropped into a puddle of water. I was so scared, luckily it only affected my fingerprint sensor slightly.

I bought my OP3 from Sim Lim, and it was at a pretty reasonable price. I just wish that OnePlus would go back to the old OP1 days, when the phone was really a flagship killer, and not an imitator like it is today......

Looks like the banner has changed and no longer mentions "official" or "warranty".

This was what I was going through, sg pricing of OP5 and S8 like so closely priced. Like not worth to hoot it when there are other better flagship.

Wa jialat. Like that not worth buying liao. $700/800 for 64/128gb and no warranty too big a risk. Might as well get HTC U11 for that price @.@

Same here, I was hoping that the OnePlus 5 would be cheaper, as it shared some of the development process with oppo, but alas, it is similar pricing to Samsung. The worst part is that you can't get the OP5 on contract as none of the local carriers are selling them.

Yeah, was trying to decide between OP5 and XZ Premium @ $830. The price is not very competitive.

It's been like that since day one. The desktop site makes no mention of it being official, but the mobile site still says official launch, 1 year official warranty. :s22:
