I'm stuck with touchwiz and I hate it :(
I want to upgrae to a phone with a great dev support and this seems like a good choice but I have no idea if its a good idea since I think I will be downgrading my camera and display

Well, yeah but you're upgrading much more than you're downgrading. Living stuck with a software you don't like its the worst that can happen tp you in smarphones world, the software its the only spec of your phone you're on direct contact with so it's pretty important

I'm currently unhappy with my S6 edge because of touchwiz and the battery for example. About 2 month ago my display broke and the fix would cost 260€ so I will buy a Oneplus 3t.

Imo it's an upgrade. One plus is very similar to Nexus and for that even if the specs were not quite up to par to a previous device with an overlay it's still a win. :) I'm grabbing a 3T in a month or so. When I looked at the Pixel and Pixel XL and the op3t and op3 I made my mind up immediately. Going to keep my eyes on pixel also and see what happens there but just not willing to spend 800-900 USD on a phone at this point in my life. ;p Why when we can grab a Op3T for so much less and it's very similar in specs. External sdcards are over rated imo and for Samsung type phones. I've been a Nexus user since the Galaxy Nexus and well actually the G1 and never seen a use for them after ditching Samsung back on the S4. Internal is fine imo and I'm not into all the little marketing features like Sammy has. I'll take a clean phone with little to no extra crap onboard with a good camera and battery and screen any day and that's what I see we have here with the One plus 3t. I've studied the Op3 forums and battery is unreal and camera is very good. Coming from my Nexus 5x I can't wait!!!!! :angel: I look forward to seeing all of you on the forums. :D

It burns battery and it's ugly imo. :eek: The are two kinds of people, one who likes tw and one who doesn't. Neither are wrong just different taste is all. :) I prefer Nexus phones or phones like them.. (one plus..) Development is better for Nexus and One plus and there's more of it and it's more stable than on a Samsung device. I know that from owning them all and seeing for myself. You just can't beat how AOSP runs on a device like One+ and how many devs work on them constantly. It's just personal preference is all.

Quite raw looking if you ask me, seeing the icons on it, guess that what pure android about, quite interested in this op 3t, will await the review, hopefully it does better on the display section.

Can't say that in words.
If you look at that crap which is installed on stock roms you get headache and that brains the battery like crazy and slows the phone down.
And if is even with a theme ugly :D
You even need to sort apps in stock launcher by alphabet manually with a button ?

If you try it for one year you get sick of it trust me. Even with theme and Nova launcher.

Samsung itself recommend to restart your phone every day to get the best performance and that in 2016 ?
