Been using a UMI Digi Plus E since June.
Coming from a 2015 Samsung S5 + 16GB which got on my nerves because it barely had room to do the updates, each time I'd have to shift apps to the SD card.
I like:
4000mah battery (easily 2 days on 1 charge, 3 if not used too much)
6GB RAM
64GB Storage (+128GB SD Card)
Speaker has a decent volume to it
Screen is bigger
It's faster / snappy.
Proper HDR, takes time to take pics, but they are better than just an over-saturated version.
I don't like:
Screen isn't quite as sharp. It's good, just not brilliant.
Screen brightness isn't as good, in bright sunshine its difficult to see without covering with a hand.
Camera isn't as good, doesn't deal with low light as well, tends to under or over expose. Paid £3 for Camera Zoom app and am happy with that.
I had to revert to standard keyboard as the google one wouldn't respond how I wanted. Standard is fine though.
Not all USB-C cables fit! The £4 NXT cables do for the OnePlus3.

32GB £150
64GB £190
Am I a convert. So far yes. Shame about the brightness and camera, but I can live with those.
It's also nicer made than my plastic S5 which cost nearly 3x as much.
£500 on a phone again, not for me.
Will it last 2 years though....
EDIT:
Review
https://www.review-hub.co.uk/umi-plus-e-review/
Also, can order via banggood.com for £165 for the 64GB
EDIT2:
Just done a side by side comparison, after twiddling with the settings. I take it back. The UMI is brighter, and the screen is clearer.
EDIT3:
Did an AnTuTu benchmark, 62149. Which is dismal. Top 50 phones. Half the score of an Iphone 6.
Seems fine to me, much faster than my S5. But only using messaging, WhatsApp, internet, twitter, music, vlc, ebay, books, copliot, osmand, os maps, waze, google maps.
No games.

I have the OnePlus 5, I got it on the day of release and love it.
I've got nothing at all negative to say about it at all, it's super responsive and just works as you'd want.
Oh I do kill off the GUI of all my android devices with the Google Now Launcher, but that's just because I like simplicity in my life, the original GUI was nice enough really.

It's to be replaced with Google Pixel Launcher soon, but I think it's just a rebranding. ____________________ struan80 - I'll go first - satisfied tick 1 |

Show me a faster phone?
That 'nearly a year old' phone is around twice the cost.
Also the CPU is the same and the current fastest in any phone on the market. Oneplus are not in the position to get launch processors in their devices just yet. So they have to use the fastest available in the market.
So yeah, my phone is faster than the flagship Iphone at half the cost. ____________________ struan80 - I'll go first - satisfied tick 1 |

also you said it was "all about the (benchmark) numbers" you said nothing about cost
surely a better comparison for the oneplus 5 would be the upcoming iphone 8 when released rather than a phone which is a year old?
ps: I used a OnePlus 3 for awhile it was a piece of shite, hopefully for you build quality has improved |
The build quality is generally regarded as a high point.
Yes the numbers point to the Oneplus winning that one.
Are you sure you can't compare two phones with the same ram and cpu?
It's still significantly more expensive and slower.
Enjoy being ripped off. ____________________ struan80 - I'll go first - satisfied tick 1 |

Apple have definitely f'd up supporting older devices for longer. I wouldn't say maliciously, in the case of the iPad mini (2) they wanted a budget tablet to compete with the lower end of the market, but no way should that thing be running iOS 10. |

Old Thread Alert!
The last post was made 6 years, 280 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful? |
