Your move Axon. OnePlus and Honor reggie to drop their bams.
I swear your flier said an earlier date lol.
Anyways it feels like June is now the hype month for Android phones from now on.
Them budget flagship phones.
They should just bring the Nubia Z17 over, price it at $400 and support it like they did last year's Axon 7.

Yeah it said the 15th. I wonder if that is some China only event.
Pure Nexus definitely does.
Pure Nexus+ElementalX Kernel have given me the best smartphone experience I've ever had.

So they copied the iPhone 7 design in the year Apple is gonna redesign the whole look.

Hnnggghhh.... was going to pull the trigger on a G6 but perhaps I should just wait to see what the OP5 brings to the table. If they can get camera performance to at least compete alongside the S8/G6/U11 then they could be onto a winner.
Bit concerned over battery life if they've gone S835/QHD Display and squeezing it into a smaller body.
Oh and price. Given everyone has upped the price points this year, I see no reason why OP won't follow suit. I'm gonna guess starting at £449.

I mean it is huge. Just look at the iPhone 7 that this clearly rips off.

They release a teaser image recently which had the OP5 'hidden' under the OP3t. So its a definitely smaller (albeit not by a lot) so they've either cut down bezels or gone 5.4".

I don't even have to have bezel-less. Just something like the G6 would be nice.

It's like an iphone and a blu phone made sweet forbidden class-transcending love.
Yep who ask for this , I want bigger batteries. The 3T is thin enough

That bezel, DOA for me.
Samsung has set a standard, either comply or GTFO.

So a bigger S8 with the fingerprint reader in the screen. Glad to see the headphone jack still in there.
I do miss the stylus from my Note 4, but I'm not sure that's a big enough feature on its own to justify a new (and expensive I'm sure) phone.
Sadly I think I'm getting a bit bored with new phones. Unless they have massive battery life (and good ones of those only pop up every few years) there's nothing I really feel like I'm missing out of my phone. I'd probably still be using my Note 4 if I hadn't changed networks. RIP removable batteries.
As a owner of a s8, the bezels aren't really a game changer lol. Does make splitscreen better. I often slap a video on top while using browser. Besides that though most videos are 16 :9 so borders.
As long as op5 still has capacitive buttons, the screen real estate won't be that much less.

Y'all dudes must be crazy thinking the bezels are big. 3t has small bezels.
yep 3t was about as small as you can get for 16:9 5.5" phone without compromising on battery or other stuff.
hopefully they offer 'stereo' speaker, maybe 1440p screen, and at minimum keep 3t battery size.
not really sure what else you'd want. stockish android in a iphone body with slimmer bezels and a decent camera for $500? sign me up.
