Oneplus 3T

I received my 3T this morning (go DHL!) and noticed that the supposed "glass film" was already fitted, and the box included a plastic screen protector. Now I just need my old micro sim converted to a nano.

Coming from the curved ends of my trusty Nexus 5, this phone feels very 'blocky' :)

That Nexus must be a thing of immense beauty!!

I find the 3T design absolutely stunning!! The screen to body ratio is class leading!! I've played around with a 6 plus and found it unyieldingly big! Both have 5.5" screens but the 3T feels much smaller in hand!! LOVE IT!!

LOL, it's lovely, yes. Simply remarking that the shape is rectangular, compared to the phone I've used for ages:

Anyone here still on marshmallow? I'm always hesitant to update for fear of shorter battery life
 
LOL, I just saw that :D

I thought 4.0.3 was the Nougat release

Either way, I upgraded to 4.0.3 OTA.

Did you use the same AliExpress link as previously posted in this thread?

Any other places you guys bought from except the link that was posted?

I used the link posted.
There are other stores on Aliexpress as well and gearbest had it on a flash sale for $449.
 
Got my OP3T naked, but with the default plastic screen protector still installed. The silicone case that came with the phone is shyte, so didn't bother using it.

I've read many complaints about glass screen protectors for the OP3. Either they don't cover the whole screen because of the slight curve of the 2.5D screen around the edges, or they lift at the edges.

So which aftermarket covers have you folks tested and recommend? I'm looking at a cheapie Nillkin Frosted Shield, along with the default protector for now. May try the official curved glass protector once this one becomes unbearable

My original Sandstone cover broke. Have just ordered a Nillkin clear cover from AliExpress. Have some dbrand skins I want to apply to the phone.

Still using stock screen protector

Rotate these 2 but for now using the Diztronic as default, in black though, not red.

Decent enough covers and a bargain at R490 all in for both.

Screen covers is the challenge though, damn difficult to find...
 
Mmmmmm. And after shipping etc? Come in at around R250. Needs to do the job at that price.

Yeah, I don't trust it will. From the pics it looks like its substantially smaller than the actual screen to avoid lifting around the edges.
