Anyone made the jump from a 1+3 to the 1+5?

[Kage_]

I've had my 1+3 for almost 6 months and I really enjoy it. Has anyone moved from the 3 to the 5 and is it worth it?

 

[fuzzylumpkin]

Yup.

Value is subjective... In performance terms it's better than the 3. But not to the extent that it would be worth upgrading for most people. But I just wanted the best specs...

The big difference is in battery life, I get at least double the screen on time I did on the 3. I also like having a vibrator that I can actually feel (PHRASING!).

The other concern is updates... Oneplus say they'll keep the 3 up to date, but I don't really believe them.

Have you had any of the display issues people seem to be all up in arms about?

 

[fuzzylumpkin]

No. At least, not that I've noticed.

I suspect the whole thing may have been blown a little out of proportion...

I "upgraded" from OP3 to OP5. Definitely happy with the device. No Display issue for me.

Things I like and notice that are better on the OP5 vs OP3:
- Camera
- Overall Phone performance
- Battery life (Yes, comparing 3300 vs 3000)
- WiFi has no issue of random disconnections
- Bluetooth through my car's Bluetooth kit (Parrot CK3001) sounds a lot louder than than it did on the OP3 on phone calls.
- No random reboots
- Vibration is a lot stronger for sure. especially when the phone is in either my side or back pocket
- Vibration intensity option in the settings menu.


Things I liked and noticed that are better on the OP3 vs OP5:
- Display richness. No matter how I configure my OP5 display settings, I cant get it to be as warm and as rich as the OP3 for some reason. Either looks too warm or too cool.
- (EDIT) forgot to mention, adaptive display is faster to "adapt" to light changes on the OP3. On the OP5 there's a bit of a delay, especially when taking it out of my pocket when in the bright sun light.



To me, the camera and battery were definitely worth the upgrade. But also because I was able to sell my OP3 at a fairly good price to justify spending the extra for the OP5. overall, very happy with the purchase.

Good luck and hope that helps.

Glad you asked & thanks to everyone for responding. My wife's phone is starting to give charging issues (Asus Zenfone 2) & thinking of getting the OP5 for me and her inheriting the OP3. She" doesn't care what she has as long as it works right "
Thanks again and look forward to more reply
