Hi has anyone got views on the One + 2 mobile phone and the one + 3 phone
It is for my son I have said the Samsung S7 but he says the 1 + 2 is the same for less money
I have never heard of them so I would like peoples views please.
I have also asked on anotherforum.
Thanks
Hi. I am about to get a one plus 3. Looking at it you may also want to consider the nexus5x that is on Amazon cheap at the moment. Pros for one plus 3: blistering spec and loads of storage. Cons: 1080p screen and conflicting reports on support and after sales. Nexus 5x pros: cheaper by nearly 100 quid and really prompt android updates. Cons: only half the storage and less ram and slower processor. I know android well and can live with 1080p and like the whizzy processor on the one plus 3 but not ordered yet so who knows I may still go for the guaranteed updates of the 5x....
Compared to the s7 the one plus is higher spec with very slightly inferior screen.
The Nexus is ""crap" according to one of my sons as one of his friends has one and another friend has the + 1 and he raves over it
the + phones have a two year warranty also like Samsung not sure about the Nexus though.
I still say an S7 but I am old school
Thanks anyway
I was being nice really. The OS was a bit pants and it doesn't have nfc. Performance was absolutely dire and I've no idea why. Run more than a few apps and it was so laggy it was unusable. I was ready to throw it on the bin after a few weeks but went back to the 5 then bought the 6p

I haven't heard of this handset myself but asked a friend today who works in the carphone warehouse, and he has said to avoid this phone like the plague. Nothing but trouble and will end up being replaced within months if not weeks due to it's "issues". Advises buying a samsung, sony xperia, htc or the LG before buying one of them.
That said it's your money and if that's what you son wants then of course it's your decision.

Far too early to say that as it has been out less than a week and only been in the hands of reviewers (who pretty much universally praise it). He is thinking of the oneplus two probably. Hardly surprising considering the level of knowledge of your average cpw employee - I went in there once to buy a 630 and had to get them to go and check when they said they didn't know what I was talking about).
I shouldn't have read this thread yesterday, it's cost me!
I've been thinking about getting a decent replacement phone and so I read reviews about oneplus 3. Very positive reviews and a very good price. So I've been and gone and done it. It is only available at the moment from the manufacturer so maybe Carphone Warehouse are a bit miffed that they can't get hold of oneplus 3.
As always, time will tell whether I've been wise.

It was the one plus two I asked him about as that is the phone mentioned on the thread title?
