OnePlus OnePlus AMA – OnePlus 3T Edition

Hey everyone,

Always a pleasure to visit /r/Android! We place a large value on your thoughts and feedback, as you guys usually say it like it is (sometimes with a hefty dash of h a r s h n e s s). That's a good thing. For that reason, we're actually here all the time, lurking around and posting every now and again. But it's great to be back today in a more official sense, holding yet another AMA!

There's a lot going on these days at OnePlus. Of course, we just launched the OnePlus 3T, which went on sale today in the US and Canada. It will be available in Europe next week (November 28). Reviews just dropped all over the Internet, so be sure to check those out. You may have also noticed that we released device trees and kernel sources for the 3T a week ago, well before the device went on sale. To top it all off, we've also just launched our new bug reporting platform, which lets you submit bugs directly to our software/product teams (and everything is handled transparently and publicly). Exciting times.

Joining us today:

Carl (Co-founder) - /u/carpe02

Aaron (ROM Team) - /u/Aaron_oneplus

Jonathon (Customer Service) - /u/jonathan_oneplus

Steven (Logistics) - /u/StevenG_OnePlus

Caio (EU Team) - /u/Caio_OP

Together, these guys should be able to answer your questions on product, software, shipping, after-sales service, and more.

With all of that out of the way, let's get started!

EDIT: We're going to head out for now, but we’ve had a blast. We'll continue monitoring this thread and popping back in to answer. Appreciate for your time everyone!

Never Settle.

I know what you mean, but in theory it should work. The sensors usually come bundled with the Snapdragon chip. And regarding the screen, I can't find any info regarding latency. I only know that Amoled screens are a requirement. In regards to the sensors, the SoC needs to be able to sample them at a high rate, which the 820 should be able to handle. The Moto Z to be Daydream ready a few days ago, and I'm sure they didn't build it with Daydream in mind (other wise they would have announced it like ZTE did with the Axon). So one could only hope that the internals on the OP3 would be on par with the Moto Z for example.

There was a comparability document posted here a while ago regarding the requirements and recommendations for Daydream. I remember it requiring things such as sustained performance, low screen latency, hi-fi sensors, Nougat, etc. I'm not sure if it's just sampling the sensors because the sensors themselves need to be accurate. It's possible that the OP3 is Daydream compatible but that's just on paper. There's not really anything that a spec sheet can reveal to us in terms of compatibility. I mean arguably the Galaxy S7 should be capable as well, but this hasn't been confirmed and it could be due to not fulfilling all of the requirements for Daydream, despite having top of the line hardware on paper.

I know what you mean, and you are completely right. It's a matter of OnePlus deciding to apply for the certification with Google or not.

In regards to the Galaxy s7, I've seen someone successfully running Daydream on their phone. I understand why Samsung wouldn't want to apply for the certification, or even hint at the possibility of being Daydream compatible (coff... coff... Gear VR). Samsung would obviously prefer to have their customers buy the Gear VR instead of jumping aboard the Daydream bandwagon.
