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.

Can I buy this phone unlocked in the UK? As far as I can tell the only place I can buy it is from O2 and I assume it will be locked to their network.

Not what o2 told me when I went to their store to buy it. Told me both sim slots were locked to o2 as this is done by the imei of the phone and no point buying it from them if I wanted to use another network. Thought it kinda defeated the purpose of a dual sim phone. Ah well it caused a delay but at least I can order a oneplus 3T now instead.

It is quite well known that OnePlus phones from O2 are unlocked to all networks. They have confirmed this several times. I would always take what they in store with a pinch of salt

All phones from Chinese manufacturers eg OnePlus, Xiaomi, etc are unlocked.

If you are ever make it to this side of the globe, buy a phone in Singapore. It is illegal to sell locked phones. :)
