Hi thinking about ordering a 7pro but can wait if there is gonna be a T version ? will there be this year ?
Not a fan of the T version as by the time you get it, the SD855 will already be about 10 months old and will be replaced by the next chip within 2 or 3 months. I like the non T version as when I buy it I know I'll have the latest chip for the year I'll be holding on to the device. Nothing like buying a new phone and the processor is already behind almost instantly of owning the device.
The new OP will have the 855+ which is 5% cpu overclock and 15% gpu overclock. Maybe an under screen camera which isnt that great right now. I don't see a big upgrade for OP till at least next april.
Could be a while before topping this 7Pro badboy! ??

I've been tracking S4 prices of ripbay for a while and having been shocked to see they've fallen very quickly over the last 8 weeks. In the UK you couldn't pick up a S4 for under £350 8 weeks ago, now £310-£320 is common and I've seen phones go as low as £275.
Is this because people are trying/moving to the iphone 5 I wonder?
If sammie got their finger out and started shipping the i9506 with larger memory it could help popularity again......

it's probably because of the note 3. also other makers too but i would think the iPhone has the least effect. no one's excited about the 5s this year like it was last year
btw i think you should look at phones more like computers where you don't need to upgrade every 2 years anymore. that's how comps were in the 90s but now ive had my laptop for 7 years before replacing it. the mobo burnt and i want to play gta5 when it comes to pc
with this phone, the only reason to upgrade is camera quality will be better in a few years
Uhh, the S4 was released end apr/may, so 8 weeks ago the phone had only been out around 2 months? Now it's been about 4-5 months.. So used phones being sold now are probably 'more used' than they were 8 weeks ago. Not surprised they're getting cheaper.
Also I'm guessing that people who wanted the s4 when it first came out more or less have gotten it by now, so less demand = lower prices.
The main factor as to why the S4 is dropping so quick is because, newer faster smartphones are about to be released such as the G2, Z1, Note 3 ect.
Plus S4 is now considered old tech in smartphone terms, hence why it's dropping in price so quickly, and it's retail price as also dropped considerably since it was released back in late April.
If you go back to the S2 days that held it price right up to the point the S3 was released, simple because at the time there was nothing out from anybody else that could touch it, I got best part of £300 for my S2 that was a year old, there is no way on earth i'll get that next year for my S4, when the time comes to getting shut for the S5.
Just way things are now with Android Smartphones.
Yeah I've seen the same as well, I'm going to try and get about £350 for it now and just wait for the nexus 5, was really disappointed by this phone

Whats the lowest you have seen for Galaxy S4 I9505 new? I still dont see them at that price unless you go second hand....
Pretty sure that brand new prices dropping equals used price dropping...
Why is OnePlus using this invite system? I honestly don't see the logic behind deliberately limiting the amount of people that can give OnePlus money. Also, is this invite system going eventually go away and open the phone to the public or will it forever be an invite-only phone?
Probably because the supply cannot meet its demand. So they have a invite system to cause hype, free marketing until they their supply can meet the demand. Plus at the price of $349, they aren't making much profit on the phone.
But I agree, get rid of the invite system and get the phone in people's hands before the specs become outdated to other flagship devices. They're here making customizable covers and whatnot, who cares.. just get the phone out to meet its demand.
The OPO is dead meat once the Nexus 6 comes out in 2 to 3 months.
The Nexus 6 will cost around $349, have newer next gen hardware, and come with Android 'L' out of the box. And with the Nexus 6, you will be able to actually, really purchase the phone, for real.

I doubt the OPO will be "dead meat." There is no serious next gen hardware unless it ships with Snapdragon 805.
OPO will still be a good phone regardless and its hard to pack that much in a $349 phone especially coming from a popular manufacturer such as LG/Samsung/HTC. OPO will have Android "L" regardless.
Obvious troll is obvious.

Yes. I have owned the first four Nexus phones, and all but the Nexus 4 were easy and fast to get. I got the Nexus-One the first week it came out, I got the Nexus-S at T-Mobile Best Buy the morning it was released immediately, I ordered the Galaxy Nexus online the 2nd week it was out, and got it the week after, and the Nexus 4 was a pain, was sold out the first two months, and was impossible to find, but by the third month they had better stock and I got one. I did not get the Nexus 5, because the crappy battery life, and I was pissed Google didn't keep the 3,000mAh battery from the G2 which the phone was based off.
My point being, all those Nexus phones were fast and easy to get, except the Nexus 4, but that was turned around by the third month. Where as the OnePlus One has been out for 3 months now, and still impossible to find, and the phone is still not available for purchase, you need this ridiculous "invite" which just blows my mind away any sane company would try to market a product this way. How bout make a website with a purchase button and shipping date, and let me buy it and get it 3 days later, not wait for some stupid invite, that just turns me away.
OPO really screwed up here, or purposely fooled everyone, not sure which is true ? How could they not know a phone with $700 flagship specs, but only selling for half that at $350 wouldn't be a smashing hit, and very hot seller ? They should have been more prepared, at least expecting this OPO to sell like a Nexus phone, quantity wise. I think they had 120,000 forum members at launch, that were all wiling to buy the phone, but only originally released like 5,000 phones at launch, and then like 7,000 later, and several thousand more, but WTF that's extremely low quantities, a joke actually.

I bet it does.
Everyone says this every year about the upcoming Nexus, no way it will have flagship hardware at the cheap price they sell the Nexus phones. But every year it does.
Last year everyone expected the Nexus 5 to have the Snapdragon 600, to match the then flagships; Galaxy S4 and HTC One M7, but the Nexus 5 came with the brand new next gen Snapdragon 800, besting those two flagships, and still selling for half their price.
My prediction for the Nexus 6;
- Announced in October / released in November
- Price of $400
- Snapdragon 805
- 3GB RAM
- 2600mAh - 2900mAh battery
- 5.2" to 5.5" Screen
- Maybe a 1440p screen, but most likely 1080p
- Made by either; Asus, HTC, or Sony
Hey all. After about 8 month with the ZTE Boost Max (Iconic) I'm ready for something faster. Dual Core, 1 GB ram just isn't doing for me at all. I'm currently on Boost and my service here is horrible. I moved 2 weeks after buying this phone and was just gonna wait it out til now. So I'm looking for something $300 or less new. Maybe the Zenfone 2 seems to be a beast especially at $199 to $299. I've looked at some new options from ZTE but seem priced pretty high. I prefer a 6 inch phone but no less than 5.5. I'm on a 5.6 inch phone now. So don't really wanna go smaller but bigger is a possibility. I thought the MX4 was cheaper but it seems pricey like flagship phones. I've been out of the phone world the last 4 or 5 months due to a new 50inch tv, ps4, new dell laptop
I've been doing research in google but so many threads refer to the flagship phones and aren't really talking much in terms of price or budget.
Thanks
Josh
My suggestion is to search before posting....there is a thread in place for your topic.

Just bought the U11 a few days ago and the phone has been great. But, ever since I saw the debut of the Note 8, I'm really liking the phone. I still have the 30 day return option so I can possible get the Note 8 but I don't know which phone to pick. Main goal is to have a phone that will last at least more than 18 months. Which would you recommend overall?

It boil down to your priorities. What features you like, size of the phone, which processor (for non US), headphone jack etc. So my recommendation would be to make a pros and cons list and decide.
Personally i won't go with any Samsung phones.

Go with the Nite, just because you're intending to skip next year's phones.
If HTC grow with the 11 (it's a fabulous phone!) And get a handle on the hardware design (its too thick, the bezels top and bottom are to wide....) Then next year's release is going to be excellent
Or pixel xl 2?
If you have a 30 day return, why not use it... Swap it for the note 8, test it for a month, if no good, swap it back for the U11 or by that stage, look at the Pixel2 etc.
Personally I wouldn't go with samsung phone. I am glad I got rid of my note 3 and probably not going back to samsung anytime soon...
first of all you are on the u11 forum which is wrong
secondly for an honest advice I would go for the 6gb u11 not the 4gb
if you can't get the 6gb u11 then get the note
I would keep it untill Pixel XL 2 comes out...Note8 is too big
Hey guys, I'd really like to know your thoughts on how much I would be able to sell 7 pro for after 2 years of usage, supposedly unscuffed and with no functionality defects. You think it will be worth at least 200$ by then considering the no notch display would age well? To me it looks like compared to a regular 7 it could be sold for at least 100$ more making the 7 rather pointless but I'd like to know your thoughts based on past experiences( haven't had any with a oneplus device).
Well OP usually comes out with a new phone every 6 months or so with minor improvements except for this one. After 2 years id say its worth at least $350 if not more.
My guess is over or under 300...
