hi guys
quick question and also seeking advice before i bite the bullet and purchase
very keen on oneplus 5 from aliexpress the 6G 64GB version coming in at $480+$29 for delivery , spec wise everything possibly one could want
recently though ive seen the Honor 9 with not bad specs and for the 4G GB version only $386+$29 delivery

is the oneplus worth the additional $100 dollars?

To be honest, the Honor 9 is beautiful and it's based on the P10 which means if anything had to go wrong, i'm sure huawei's partner, wefixit, will be able undertake internal repairs.

is then worth saving the extra +/- 1400 rands and going for the Honor 9?
yes its only 4g ram versus 6G and camera isnt same spec but the Kirin processor seems to be not far off the Snapdragon spec wise

in another time i would have just gone out and bought the Oneplus but times are hard lol ...so saving R1400 isnt to be laughed at

does make me sad that im spending less than what i paid for my wife's S7 Edge , even with promo on takealot and Ebucks !!

You can also look at the Honor 8 Pro if you can find it,unsure about band compatability though, P10 Plus, Mate 9 and Xiaomi Mi6

P10 Plus over $650 so no go as more than both oneplus and honor 9
Mate 9 over $500 for 4g 64GB little more than oneplus

OnePlus 5 owner here - the 64GB model.

Strongly recommend the OP5:
- Top specs
- Best firmware of any phone on Earth imo
- Camera is great
- No jelly scrolling issue for me or vast majority on OnePlus forum
- Lightning fast fingerprint reader
- No bloatware other than Google's Duo app
- Really awesome OnePlus Slate font
- The Protective style cases OnePlus sells are the best for any phone imo. Ultra slim, ultra cool & don't extend height or width of phone. Never have to worry about scratches, fingerprints or the phone being too slippery.
- Exceptional battery life, which will improve further when Energy Aware Scheduling goes live in the next major firmware update. The first phone to have it.
- Dash charging is ludicrously fast.

This phone is just amazing. Wouldn't trade it for anything else out there.

I think the OnePlus 5 have a better chance for future software upgrades
