So we all know the op6 is coming soon and many of us are hoping to upgrade our outdated devices,but with Oneplus success in the market in recent years, their prices are continuosly going up,,maybe by small amounts on each phone,may be a big rise with the op6,we don't know yet
Anyway.What if the op6 launches with a price you cant afford.
What alternative devices have you in mind.
I have more or less decided that I will get a nokia 7 plus if the op6 is too expensive because it has what I need.Big battery and promise of frequent updates.Ive considered the honor view 10 and mi mix 2s also
What other mid to high range devices are you considering if tbe op6 is out of reach ?
ASUS Zenfone 5
only galaxy s9+ with unlocked bootloader.
The Nokia 7 Plus is going to be way cheaper than the OP6. It's cheaper than the OP5 and OP5T.
At its price, I don't think you can beat the Nokia 7 Plus but then again you need to consider what is or isn't important to you. OnePlus will have an awesome Development scene which there isn't with Nokia (unless it starts to develop and is contingent on unlocked bootloader and kernel sources being released).

What about the hardware? How can you ever bring this as an alternative?
Snapdragon 660? 4gig ram?
In this case xiaomi mi a1 is better, Android one
Huawei honor 10
Xiaomi mi 7

I dont know where you fo your shopping mate but ehere I am to he 5 t is €499,
The 7+ is retailling at 3€399,not a massive difference.I sgree that Oneplus is more developer friendly but I would put the nokia 7 plus in that mid range section snd it will surely be much cheaper than tbe op6

In the UK the Nokia 7 Plus is £349.99. The 64gb OnePlus 5T is £449.
My logic is that the OnePlus flagships have been going up around £50 each year so the OnePlus 6 is likely to start at £499 and you were asking for the difference between the OnePlus 6 and alternatives. The Nokia 7 Plus is 30% cheaper.
Edit: I would note that I think the Nokia 7 Plus looks like a really good phone and would be tempted by it too.
Potentially consider the Asus ZenFone 5Z as another alternative but I think that is £499 also. If you're looking for the 845 processor, I can't really think of any other good options. Depends on what's important to you.

Yes absolutely you are right,20 to 30% difference in price of 5t and 7+ depending what country your in.It will be interesting to see what happens with the op6,but as you say it will certainly be higher.
I have been researching a lot of different devices to replace my op3 lately.I look at all the reviews,watch the youtube videos and join the forums to see what users are saying.
If I was to buy a phone now based on hardware alone and value for money Id go for the Honor view 10 with the kerin 970,but Honor are poor with updates.The Zenphone 5z looks great,but I dont think it will be available in UK/Ireland till July.It will though be cheaper than the op6 and 5t.
The Nokia 7+ is out May 2nd on Amazon,Im hoping the op6 is announced before then so I can make an informed decision,but could be ridiculous prices in which case Ill happily go for the 7+ which should be more than good enough for day to day use, especially as a non gamer.I don't play around with Roms as much as I use to and will be happy eith tbe long battery life and regular updates.
I do like oxygen os though and Oneplus are great with updates and theres a great community.Will be interesting to see what happrns within tbe next month or two
Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S.
Better: Camera, no notch, big screen, Project Treble (i'm not sure), and price imo
Worse: IPS screen, no 3.5mm Jack, Almost the same battery of the OP5
EDIT: I was wondering and just realized that every year, OnePlus makes a very well made flagship phone with latest soc, etc. and little additions (dual camera, now water resistance) it's all nice and good. The only deal thing is the price. I like OnePlus, (had the 3 and now the 5) and i understand that they make better and better every year, so it's obvious that it needs to cost more. I'll definitely buy the 6, in the end there are no alternatives sadly
Bought the pixel 2 xl. It's a nice camera.

Anyone considering the Essential Phone 2 (which I guess will launch in September 2018) as a viable option to the OP 6 ?

If OnePlus 6 is a flagship killer, let's see what are available at the flagship level in my country at 64GB variant
835:
Pixel 2 XL - Rs.57,995
LG V30+ - Rs.44,990 (Only 128GB)
Nokia 8 Sirocco - Rs.49,900
Samsung Galaxy Note 8 - Rs.67,900
Mi Mix 2 - Rs.32,999 (Only 128GB)
845:
OnePlus 6 - Expected around Rs.35,000
Samsung Galaxy s9/s9+ - Rs.57,900 / Rs.64,900
Kirin 970:
Honor v10 - Rs.29,999 (Only 128GB)
Huawei P20 Pro - Expected around Rs.50,000
Huawei P20 - Expected around Rs.30,000
The only problem which I see out for OP6 is the territory it's venturing into. Those who are spending north of 30k won't mind spending extra for getting what they needed. Mediocre Camera will definitely kill OP6 on arrival since every single unit there gives you the best. If Huawei P20 Pro comes around 40k. It'll cannibalize OP6 hands down. But i think Huawei P20 might be in OP6 territory and might give some serious trouble for them.

For customization, I agree. OnePlus just does that better than all the other Android based smartphones out there. For other features though, I'm getting less and less impressed by their offerings each year, and when they get too expensive, I'll simply stop getting them,. I'll probably still get the 6 though, but if their prices get as high as iPhone level, I'm out.
I know it's not a new phone, as it's been out a while, but I quite liked the Razer Phone. So might get one of those if the OP6 doesn't impress me enough. But let's wait and see.
I can upgrade my phone in like a month or so and TMobile just got the 7pro McLaren edition I was thinking of upgrading and wanted to ask if I should pull the trigger or not.
Wait for 8 pro
If you can't wait for the 8pro around June 2020, then 7pro for now...
8 Pro would be a downgrade for me, going from all screen to punch hole for camera

If the leaks are true I'm not looking forward to the hole punch display. But then it's do I deal with it for the 865 or just go with a one gen old processor with a bezeless design.

I could wait but I'm not sure if TMobile is going to axe it due to lack of sales like they did with the 7 pro.

They have a deal with OnePlus to sell them in the states originally it was because of lack of sales of the 7 Pro but I think it was because they wound up carrying the McLaren edition.
Nooo, wait for 10 pro.. :laugh: seriously what are you guys saying to him, wait for 8 pro wait for that, i mean he wanna change device now, and you are telling him to wait anyway mr OP in my opinion 6t is a great for now, but if you really wanna update device, then go for 7pro (not for 7t pro or Any McLaren) enjoy the whatever current device you have, and change it to Upgrade when you feel bored.. peace
I like curved screens, if they produce an 8 Pro 6.7" curved with 865 processor, 120hz, battery life and finally gives us AOD and proper Samsung features in the OS like edge lighting as well, it would be worth it, because you can botloader unlock and root as well.
Otherwise, will just be another Apple trick on users, minimal upgrade for a lot more money. Also, they need to get their camera game elevated up higher for $900 phones.
McLaren edition? Unless you can only find the 7T pro McLaren edition, then I'd just go with a vanilla 7 Pro(if that's what OnePlus is selling in your country) or vanilla 7T pro from their website. The biggest difference at least state-side is that the McLaren edition through T-Mobile has their implementation of 5G on it and depending on the variant of 7 Pro, it has more RAM. you won't get a massive performance boost coming from the 6T, but that's the phone my wife has, and the screen is a night and day difference( I just came from a 3T, so I can't really comment too much on performance, but her phone performs just fine compared to the 7 Pro) but it's worth it for the notchless display and that buttery smooth 90 Hz 1440p+ screen alone!
Lol everyone saying to wait... Might as well wait til we're on Mars, then you can get the Mars edition...
In all seriousness, upgrade. I picked up my 7t pro mclaren edition from T-Mobile couple of days ago and don't regret it one bit. The phone is amazing. I upgraded from the galaxy s8 plus. T mobile is running an up to $300 off trade in promotion.

This close I would probably wait for the 8 Pro or whatever it will be called.
I upgraded from the 6T to the 7 Pro as soon as it came out.
The 8 will have the SD865 and like the 7T McLaren, the x55 modem.
Presumably the 8 will be unlocked for all carriers. I'd wait.
Upgrade to the 7pro Bro and you wont regret it. After seeing that hole punch the Oneplus 8 lost all appeal for me. The design of the 7pro will stand the test of time with its "True" screen to body ratio. I still would get the 7pro over the McLaren because of the lack of any significant changes that would justify spending an extra $250-300 and the 7pro already has an established development platform.

TMobile dropped the 7 pro in favor of the 7T pro McLaren edition. I'm really not a fan of the hole punch display so I think I'll just grab the McLaren edition when I get the chance

Same lol............ I.... can't.... Stand.... Punch holes, tear drops, notches, and aggressively large bezel dimensions. It's why I didn't get pixel 3 & 4 XL's or any recent Samsungs. But to be fair the 4 XL only had the bulky bezel up top. But still it was one bulky bezel too many for my investment. Pleasing design is a pretty big deal for me ?.
Get the 7T Pro McLaren .

I mean, there's nothing wrong with it. you'll get the added bonus of T-Mobile's implementation of 5g at least. I just know that they had a massive sale this month and I was able to get the original oneplus 7 pro through OnePlus for 550(8 GB, 256 GB model). I think they're practically sold out at this point though.
There's also that macro motor in the camera as well, that I would love to have, but hey, I'll save the money instead. it's also a personal choice too as I don't have any attachment toward the McLaren brand, so I don't really want the branding on my phone.
tl;dr. if you want a good solid upgrade, you won't go wrong with the 7t pro McLaren, it's just if you can find it, the 7 pro is likely cheaper, and about the same, minus the branding, the macro motor, and the RAM(depending on the model)
I am planning to buy a phone but on a tight budget. Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro seems to be a good choice, but its almost a year old. So is this phone still a good choice, or has it become obsolete by some other device? Another choice would be Realme 3 Pro, which is slightly newer, but I'm not sure its on par with Redmi Note 7 Pro.
P.S. Can I play PUBG with HDR setting on this device? What's the highest PUBG graphics setting you have been able to play comfortably on this device?
P.P.S. Is there a fully functional Google Cam mod availble for Redmi Note 7 Pro?
The thing with Xiaomi is that they release a new phone every month (35 total phones in 2019) and their phones get cheaper every time a new one is released. For example i bought the 7 Pro for 275$, a month later after it was 250$, and now its 180$.
The phone was overhyped and overpriced because the main selling point of the phone was the camera which is just fine, as 80% of other phones.
What I'm trying to say is that the Note 7 Pro was "OK" for like 1 month, then a new device came out with better specs and the same price. Its still a nice phone but then again even cheaper phones are good nowadays.
If you have the money go for a Note 8 Pro, or K30...or hell even a Poccophone is way better and cheaper
I owned note 7 pro and my wife realms 3 pro. I like realms 3 pro than 7 as photos are better in it.
I have the option to trade my 7 pro for a 8.....im debating if I should go for it... I am turning to my faithful xda community for guidance lol
It just depends if your going to be trading with T-Mobile don't do it. Cause without the oneplus 8 being unlocked it sucks. My advice if ur going to to that. Make sure u get an unlocked oneplus 8. Or just wait for the 8t next month or end of this month
To me op8 is not a very big upgrade, plus I like my pop up camera. I had s8 previously and hated being stuck to 18w qualcomm 2.0 for years, in all aspects op7 pro was a lot better. I'm waiting for something like 60watt charging, 5g to be available like 4g is, 90hz and 120hz is cool but as I'm typing I only see 1 frame, and ufs3.0 is a lot faster than all phones before. Never been frozen or waiting on an app to load, everything is faster one op7 and they slightly upgraded to 3.1. Samsung stepped up their charging game but got max spec op7 for 750 vs almost same spec s10 plus for 1200
As far as I know, One Plus 8T will be announced on October 14th. Now, a prematurely-published Amazon listing has further confirmed some of the OnePlus 8T's specs.
I have both 7 pro and 8 pro. Both phones running Resurrection Remix rom. The 8 pro has 5g, faster wireless charging and the first phone to have a 1billion color display. It all depends on what you want
I've the S22 Ultra sky blue 512GB and getting the Pixel 7 Pro snow 512...
I traded in my work phone (iPhone XR) for the Pixel 7 Pro. My personal device is a Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra, so it will be fun to compare it to the Pixel 7 side by side. Ultimately I think I'll sell the one I like less.
that's my plan too.. gotta admit the S22 Ultra is a true beast...
I have a Pixel 4xl. I like it but the battery is terrible. I'm looking forward to Pixel 7 Pro.
S22+, love the feel but man that battery. Hope P7P doesn't let me down.
Iphone 14 Pro Max. Had it for a total of 23 days before I gave up on it. I traded-in my Pixel 6 Pro for it, so I'm using my backup Pixel 3 until the Pixel 7 arrives.
I may upgrade to P7P Depending on my OnePlus 10 Pro trade in at Best Buy or T-Mobile.
I'm coming from a Pixel 4 XL that I've had since the day it was released. Since this month is it's last update, I felt compelled to finally upgrade, and I'm so excited!

OnePlus 9. Hoping that I like the 7 Pro enough to make it my primary but either way, with the trade in deals Best Buy was offering, my 12 Pro Max trade in basically ended up with them putting $30 in my pocket so I couldn't resist.
My main phone was a 21 Ultra but I tried a 22 Ultra for a week and hated it. Now I've had a 6 Pro for two weeks. I like the 6 Pro so much I ordered a 7 Pro for myself and the wife will get the 6P that has been working great.

Oneplus 10 pro. Tired of all the bugs.
OP 9 Pro, because it's not a good phone. I think the last good OP was the 7. And the OPO still to date has the best back of the phone.
Unlocked Pixel 7 Pro 512GB - soon to be gone: Unlocked Pixel 6 Pro 512GB - Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra Wi-Fi 512GB - Unlocked Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ 512GB (bye, bye Samsung phones!) - Unlocked Google Pixel 1 128GB - Unlocked HTC 10 - Verizon LG G3 - Verizon LG G Pad 8.3 LTE (semi-broken, now TV for the cat) (finally died now) - Sprint Galaxy S3 - Sprint Epic 4G Plus (Galaxy S2) - HTC Droid Eris
I actually had a Sony Xperia XA2 Ultra in there somewhere, too, but I'm not counting that one.
