                  AnonD-237381, 14 Aug 2016Wait, you just called me fanboy? I never said that OnePlus ... moreOh look, I made a fanboy angry. About xiaomi mi5 costing the same as galaxy s7. I can get xiaomi mi5 for 300$. The same performance and actually even better in 3D games for 1/3rd of the price. Since we were comparing OP3 to SG7, i never thought to step into that territory. Do you even know what are you comparing and to what? Xiaomi Mi5 is a premium phone, it even has lots of useful fatures and the camera is matching galaxy s7 and sometimes even beating it. These gimmicks don't add to the cost too much and if you say that they are complain to samsung that you don't need them, but they will still keep their phones costs high. You say that these gimmicks require more money to spend on hardware, but they don't actually need new hardware. You said samsung isn't at fault with the import fees. Why the F their devices cost 900 euros in my country and like 600 in america? That's not because of import fees, they're using the situation to milk even more money out of you. They could easily avoid import fees to Europe. How did I not get the point of wireless charging? There is no point, except that you can show your friends some cool new gadget. If I missed the point you'd have written real point of it and don't try to tell me it's because of speed, cause wireless charging is slow. About Gear VR. Tell me what uses can you find for it. Don't mention movie watching because resolution is crap. Don't mention games because it's no HTC Vive. Gear VR is only a headset. All the software is in the phone. Why would you want to pay over 100$ for a plastic cardboard. I'm not butthurt. I'm just stating facts.

                    I'm not gonna buy another Android phone until Google releases their own pixel phone. I'm just tired of all those flawed updates, lack of updates, not supported anymore updates, etc etc. I am happy with my iPhone at the moment. Don't need to think about flaws errors maybe or maybe not etc etc. When Google release pixel phone I will be the first to buy their phone.

                        Anonymous, 13 Aug 2016Buy cheap Chinese phone and worry always I have a Redmi Note 3 Pro and it's pretty good actually, better than some Sony phones that I had in the past, it's very fast and there's updates every week that fixes bugs instead of introducing new ones and I only paid 190 dollars(+ $50 from import fees), yay! If I had $400 I would buy the Mi5 instead of the 1+3, but that's just my opinion.

Wanted to return this year to Samsung with the s7 but no way in hell I'm gonna pay 730€ for a phone. Plus every "idiot" had an S7 Edge here, so having something else is at least unique.
                          I only wish Google would focus on Europe but it doesn't, Germany, France, UK ain't whole of Europe but for Google it seems so.
                          For the price you pay for the 1+3 it's truly the best what you can get in my country.
                          Yes camera is worse, hard to beat the best camera currently in the S7 but for the price I like it and way better then on my Z3 Compact. And the screen it's great anything over 1080p is overkill plus it's using Samsungs samoled just under a different name. I admit the S7's screen is the best on the market but I'm more then happy with the 1+3's.

The s7 can be bought for $500 and he has the audacity to say it is a whole $500 more expensive than the $400 op3. He will continue to dismiss the disadvantages of the op3 and act like its the same quality as the s7 but also for less than half the price. You won't ever be able to converse with something like that. He doesn't even concede that the camera and display are worse.

                              divis200, 14 Aug 2016You consider these gimmick features worth extra 500$? Excep... moreWait, you just called me fanboy? I never said that OnePlus is bad I just mentioned a few features that the S7 have and the 1+3 doesn't, do I have to draw it for you?
                              First you say that Samsung Pay is a gimmick because it just works in a few countries, then you said that OnePlus have Android Pay, well, this one only works in a few countries, and different from Google, Samsung support emergent countries, such as China, Brazil and Porto Rico, Google only cares about europeans and north americans, oh, the Samsung solution works with almost any terminal in the world, because it has both NFC and MST.

                              You're talking about price, saying that ALL the features that I mentioned are gimmicks, you mustn't realize that including all those features requires lots of money spend on R&D, if they are not worth the extra cost, why don't OnePlus 3 have it? Extra hardware costs money, and in my country the OnePlus 3 is not available, never saw one and the Galaxy S7 is cheaper than most of the other "flagships", Mi5 for example is sold for almost the same price. Oh, and as far as I know, import fees are not Samsung's fault, so you should stop complaining, you won't buy it anyway. One more thing, you totally missed the point of the wireless charging...

                              And then you said that Gear VR is sh*t, well, now you sound like a sheep, criticizing everything. I just mentioned a few features based on spec sheet and you got all butt-hurt, it's time to take your clonazepam man.

                              Oh and about Ebay, well, you're just paranoid, that's it.

                                    I guess i'm very lucky. I never had the so called auto restart issue. LTE signal is always fixed. Front camera focus works well, although i use it rarely (i never was a narcissistic guy and don't give a f*** about facebook and stuff like that). The wifi capture could be stronger, but bought a wifi range extender and ...problem solved. So, untill now i'm pretty happy with it.

                                        divis200, 14 Aug 2016Why are you still writing about all these gimmicks. You say... moreSilly fanboy. Can you not read? The price isnt that different. This article is about how poor the software is, and no, not every software has the amount of bugs the op3 has. And no, the software support is poor. Just take a look, the s7 got an update this month too, they got the august security update. What did the op3 get? An update to fix some bugs, and not all the bugs, but they simply introduced even more bugs, without even adding the august security update.

                                        The s7 has better battery life despite the better resolution, and thanks to Samsung's software, you can reduce it for games if you need to, which you probably won't. Expandable storage has more value than higher base storage, since a lot of things on external storage like media do not experience a noticeable decrease in performance by being there.

                                        But anyway, feel free to keep trolling, you don't even read what I've written and insist on your dumb fanboy rant. You don't understand that the price isn't that different and you don't understand that the s7 is better in basically every single way.

                                        Rabid oneplus fanboys have always been the worst. No sense of reasoning. Most of them are just kids and its easier to converse with apple fans. I mean, next year I'd probably buy a one plus phone depending on a few things, but I can at least look at things rationally and understand that there's a choice to be made.

                                        And ebay is a safe place to buy, and ots easy to get refunds, and the feedback system makes it easy to use. Youd have a higher chance of oneplus giving you a malfunctioning device than getting a bad s7 on eBay.. New phones on ebay are sealed too. If they so much as open the box it can only be new(other).
