[OFFICIAL] OxygenOS 10.0.1 (Android Q 10.0) OTA for OnePlus 5 (cheeseburger)

[MrWilsonxD]

The extra 2gb of ram is a gimmick because no smartphone actually needs more than 6gb of ram.

Lol... "needed" ram is unique to the person using the device. It's the exact same argument as saying "a computer doesn't need more than 8GB of RAM." For who? A high school student? A college student? If you enjoy having lots of games and apps open, 8GB of ram is great. If you just send emails, then you can get by with 3.

Don't come over here passing off your opinion as universal doctrine.. Some people use the 8gb, others don't, and that's perfectly fine.

There are things you can do to improve it a bit like root and run a custom kernel and some people use the ported Pixel camera instead of the stock one. But it's hard not to think of the OP5 as a placeholder device until next year since they put virtually no effort into making this phone a serious upgrade from the 3T. Plus there's no positive spin to put on the fact that the OP3 phones are receiving more frequent updates than this phone and will also receive Android Oreo before this phone does.

I've ran the custom kernels and I've tried a few ROMs. I really like Oxygen and I think its been polished well but fix the damn camera. Don't get me wrong, there are battery drain issues but really, a lot of ROMs have this issue (as far as I can tell). If you don't want the battery drain issues and can't work around it, go buy an iPhone, ha! Or maybe I haven't experienced the battery drain issues.

I bought the phone for the camera. The camera has not lived up to what it was hyped up to be. And I'll look into the Pixel camera but I have a feeling stock Oxygen will have to do.

If its common knowledge (and I honestly don't know or care really) that the 3T will get the "updates" before OP5, that is also a shame. Fix the camera that you over sold, is all I'm saying. I could careless about Oreo right now. Fix the camera, please and thank you. They bragged about the hardware, now fix the software that controls it!

Or just a regular OnePlus One, shoot.

@jhs39 - is this the Pixel port that you are talking about?

The OP3T had 128 storage and 6gb. The only genuine upgrade from the 3T is the processor which OnePlus had no hand in designing. The extra 2gb of ram is a gimmick because no smartphone actually needs more than 6gb of ram and the new camera setup is a gimmick because the camera app takes lousy pictures anyway. The OP5 uses literally the exact same displays as the OP3 and has a smaller battery than the OP3. They didn't even spend any time designing the new camera setup that's used on the OP5--it's lifted directly from a Chinese Oppo phone from the same parent company --although the Oppo phone supposedly takes better pictures. The OP5 has a slimmer body than the OP3 but that turned out to be a mistake --if the OP5 wasn't slimmer it wouldn't have been necessary to install the OP3 displays upside down on this phone and there would be no jelly effect. The fact that the OP5 is still on the July security patch just adds to the feeling that this phone was rushed and is barely being supported by its manufacturer who seems to be a lot more concerned about the OP3 and their next phone rather than what is supposed to be their current flagship.

The op5 may have lower battery capacity but I got 5hs of sot with op3t and with op5 I get 7-8h with the same usage, thanks to the snapdragon 835. So, yeah, I would call it an upgrade.

Idk whats ur point but i m so much happy using this device.. Its my 4th day of using op5 and i m completely in love.. I was using redmi note 3 previously and it had great development support and i m hoping that this device will get good devs too as its oneplus device

I don't see why not. That's why there's an 8GB version. They know people like you may neeed more than 6 GB of ram.

 

[bugra333]

We wait new update or open beta ROM

A person who needs more than 6gb of ram in a phone probably would know he can use more than 6gb if he has more than the 6gb..

A person who understands how RAM actually works knows that a computer or smart phone will try to fill up whatever RAM is available by keeping programs and data in memory longer which isn't the same thing as actually needing the RAM. Tests have been done comparing the 6GB and 8GB versions of this phone and the difference in performance between the two was negligible to nonexistent because the extra RAM doesn't actually do anything useful or necessary.

Why did you choose to buy without being sure of what you were going to get for your money? My OP5 is just the exact phone I needed...and so many people are satisfied with it.

When I purchased this phone I thought OnePlus actually planned to support it. I didn't think I would still be on the July security patch in October or that I would be reading about regular updates to the OP3 while my OP5 received no updates or that the public beta for Oreo would be on the OP3 rather than the OP5. My issue isn't primarily with the phone itself but with the fact that the OP5 is receiving terrible support. I feel like I have been fleeced and that the company that made the OP5 has already pretty much abandoned it.

And what is your point in telling us all this story. You pinpoint only what u want us to hear what type of ram is used what type of storage is used. Camera whise it is a new concept let them workout the issues the phone is three months old.The whole upside down display is a 99 pages debate on it own lol.
Some have yelly issues and some do not (this was a interesting discussion).
Having this said the phone does not get its mostly good reviews if it was a piece of junk. And when op releases a update every body is happy again and all is forgotten. If all of this was true they would already stopped the whole op5 adventure because quite frankly it would not be financially saint.
Op3 ain't going to make money it costs them money with every update they only get a lot of thank you but this does not pay the bills. The whole reason probably is that the op3 was on the beta program this means oneplus has to release its beta as a stable version sometime. Also having a relatively small development team means it doesn't speed up things and they have to make priority's.

My point is that this phone was rushed to market and that might be the reason the manufacturer seems much more interested in supporting the OP3 than the OP5. The OP3 has been receiving regular updates. The OP5 hasn't had an official update since August and is still on the July security patch. The public beta for Oreo is on the OP3 not the OP5. I don't think the company that made this phone is treating it like it's actually their current flagship device.

With some parts I agree but in my opinion your way to soon concluding this.
They even released a special edition of the op5 and it is only three months since the release.

I know that genius, but it does nothing to do with the earlier posts. I said a person who NEEDS it.

I am sure they are working on something better for the OP5. It's their newest phone, they wouldn't neglect it for any reason.

 

[GjorgiDxc]

Lol guys, you are making too much drama out of this. If you want monthly updates, get a Pixel, you know the deal in the world of Android. 3/3T are just getting what we already had on the OP5, so nothing new, only the scrapes to make users happy like every company does. Best thing to do is to drop N on the OP5 and work on delivering Oreo to us ASAP and I think that's their plan. Also IMO the OP5 wasn't made for the 3/3T users to upgrade to it. You can't beat the beast that was the 3T in just a year. They wan't to attract people stuck on older devices. I see many people from the Nexus 5, OPO, OP2 threads in here. Stop hating on the 5 it's still too early, after all it's only 3 months old and IMO it will only get better with Oreo.

PS. Ofc 8GB of RAM is a gimmick, but we all know we got that variant because of the sexy pretty Midnight Black color and not because of the 8GB RAM

 

[nathanchance]

Normally I don't comment on stuff like this but the amount of complaining in this thread has caused me to unsubscribe. I'm sorry but how did you guys not expect this coming into the device? You could see OnePlus' track record with the OP3/T (before the past month or so). You're expecting Google-level updates out of a company with probably a tenth of the amount of developers. Would I love to see more timely updates? Absolutely. OnePlus could greatly improve their release schedule by keeping their own development separate from security updates so they can release those updates within a few days of release without introducing regressions but who knows what they plan to do. Yeah, they hyped the camera up and yeah, it has fallen a little flat but I am sure the complaints on their own forum are rolling in hard, where they are actually listening. Plus you all act like Funk Wizard is an official OnePlus employee, expecting him to comment on issues he has no insight on. I'm not directing this as one person, I've been subscribed to this thread since I got the device a month and a half ago and it's been many people so don't think I'm personally attacking you (famous last words).

This thread has long since abandoned most discussions of the latest firmware and is turning more and more into just a place to rant about the device.

No wonder Funk Wizard hasn't popped in recently; since at this point, anything short of an Oreo build or one that fixes everything will simply get buried in the noise (or he'll get ridiculed even though it's not his fault!)

There are always compromises with any phone, and even more for midrange devices (as opposed to premium). You may say $479/$549 isn't "midrange" but when prices for flagships are going up to $1000, it most definitely is!

Have you considered the possibility that this thread has long since abandoned discussion of the latest firmware because it's been so long since there was a firmware update to discuss?
