OnePlus cash equals 5: Rebel flagship joins upmarket Android crew

Re: The trouble is

I feel the same way, I had an OP1 too actually! I was one of the suckers that bought the OP3 then bought the 3T (I sold my OP3 to my dad)

Oxygen OS is alright in the scheme of things, almost 0 bloatware. I hate to sound like an apple user but at least with Samsung phones you know they're going to work, plus if they don't you can take it into any shop and get it fixed/replaced. I hate to admit it but my love for OnePlus is dwindling. I just think £500 is a bit much considering the lack of features.

I'd like to see them make a tablet or something mind you.

I'm gonna stick with my OP3 for now as it's still perfectly capable of 99% of what I do day to day.

The trouble is

For me, I found that both myself and people I've talked about the OP5 to would much rather pay the £150 for the 'extra' features like USB 3, water resistance, wireless charging, expandable storage etc. Plus the added benefit of not having to explain what phone I have to the unwashed masses.

Oneplus just aren't bringing enough of a performance jump to entice OP3T users like myself to jump ship the the OP5 from what I've seen and heard from owners. Especially with the removal of optical image stabilization, bigger battery etc.
