I've read lots of the forums prior to pulling the trigger, and didn't see any major setbacks, but does anyone have any advice about things to watch for when switching from the oneplus one to the note5?
Confirming that the Note 5 has the same or more cell radio bands for your carrier is one thought. I assume that the SIM card types are the same, so just swapping out the SIM from the OnePlus to the Note 5 should work? Getting files/data/media off of the OnePlus to the Note 5 is another consideration if you are selling the OnePlus.
I did the exact same thing. So far pretty stoked with the switch. No major setbacks. I do miss the cleaner version of Android and the "quick" unlock from PIN unlock. Storage maybe an issue. I went from 64GB OPO to 32 GB GN5 it does have some impact...not much. Other than that screen, camera, S-Pen, etc... are better on GN5. Cheers.
