I bought the OP5 and it's more than halfway to my house, will arrive tomorrow.
However, I also bought the S8 for $460 with a $200 trade in offer.

So the unlocked Samsung S8 is a much better deal.
However, I got unlucky and it's backordered for 2-3 weeks (according to their website).


I wanted to love the OP5. I really did. But I just don't see the justification for the lack of features. I mean, I know the 1080p screen might not really be that bad, but I really love the 2k crispness of Nexus 6P and others.

The only reason I still kinda want OP5 is because of the ability to root and all that. Plus I'm still not the biggest fan of TouchWiz.

Ugh, I don't know what to do.

I'm going to sell mine as well and include Gear VR and Wireless charger see if that brings the price up a bit as an all in one package. On a side note, picked my OP5 up earlier and its a monster!

I'm in the same boat as you (kind of). I have an iPhone 6 plus now and wanna switch to android again (had a galaxy s2). I love the gorgeous screen on the s8, but I also want the development of the oneplus 5...

I can get s8 for 600€ and oneplus 5 is 500€, the 100€ price difference is not really a problem (I live in EU)

This feels like the hardest decision I will ever have to make
