Anybody reading this, just get a OnePlus 5T. Problem solve. Just watch youtube videos comparing it with the top dogs but still holds its own. Dont go for overpriced samsung and apple products! Be smart. Do your research. Just bought one and it’s AWESOME!
any idea where to get oneplus 5?
Dude, did you the phone at a digital walker? If not, can you tell me where and what price? Thanks!
Omfg sammy going over priced again damn. If you don’t waterproofing opt for huawei mate 10 instead. Same price yet huge difference in performance.
I love the design and new look on these models from samsung. But seeing the price tag? Just go for mate 10 or oneplus 5t.
