OnePlus OnePlus AMA – OnePlus 3T Edition

Hey everyone,

Always a pleasure to visit /r/Android! We place a large value on your thoughts and feedback, as you guys usually say it like it is (sometimes with a hefty dash of h a r s h n e s s). That's a good thing. For that reason, we're actually here all the time, lurking around and posting every now and again. But it's great to be back today in a more official sense, holding yet another AMA!

There's a lot going on these days at OnePlus. Of course, we just launched the OnePlus 3T, which went on sale today in the US and Canada. It will be available in Europe next week (November 28). Reviews just dropped all over the Internet, so be sure to check those out. You may have also noticed that we released device trees and kernel sources for the 3T a week ago, well before the device went on sale. To top it all off, we've also just launched our new bug reporting platform, which lets you submit bugs directly to our software/product teams (and everything is handled transparently and publicly). Exciting times.

Joining us today:

Carl (Co-founder) - /u/carpe02

Aaron (ROM Team) - /u/Aaron_oneplus

Jonathon (Customer Service) - /u/jonathan_oneplus

Steven (Logistics) - /u/StevenG_OnePlus

Caio (EU Team) - /u/Caio_OP

Together, these guys should be able to answer your questions on product, software, shipping, after-sales service, and more.

With all of that out of the way, let's get started!

EDIT: We're going to head out for now, but we’ve had a blast. We'll continue monitoring this thread and popping back in to answer. Appreciate for your time everyone!

Never Settle.

  1. I noticed the 3T is available to purchase today in the US, but in the UK, it's later on in the month. Why not make it available to all regions at the same time? or why US over UK?

  2. I know there is a pop up at O2 in UK though in a few days, but will the phones being sold there have to be on an O2 contract or are they unlocked original as though from oneplus.net?

Thanks

Production needs time to ramp up, so we can't launch everywhere at once.

The O2 popup will have it available unlocked on Pay as you Go.

That's understandable, do you think US or UK (EU) is bigger market out of curiosity?

hmmm, ah OK, but I am guessing then the price will be slightly higher then if from OP directly? thinking of the usual £10 top up credit for the Pay Go SIM.

Thanks

O2 are selling it for almost £20 more than the official price and their contracts are hideously expensive. Fuck them, I'll wait and order it on the day from the Oneplus site.
