bopolopoluss1 Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 The dash charging feature is absolutely ridiculous on the OnePlus 5. I have my own fast charger and it clocks in at about 1400mAh and I thought that was rapid. I've just tried the one that OnePlus sent me directly and i'm getting a reading of around 3500 mAh. It feels like something from science fiction watching the battery level increase. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It feels like something from science fiction watching the battery level increase. I assume it's a step up from the dash charge on the One Plus 3? I've still got mine and it charges from dead to full in about 30-40 mins, which is still pretty quick. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bopolopoluss1 Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 I've never really paid much attention before so i'm not sure how it compares to previous versions from from reading online you appear to get "a days power in half an hour" on the OnePlus 5. I think that translates to about a 75% charge. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gavin_3110 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Probably not quite as obscure as some of the wonders of this thread but I've recently bought a new phone. Blu Vivo 5r - Link Cost me £98.98 from Amazon as a "Warehouse deal", as far as I can tell, it's absolutely brand new with the warranty stickers still in place, can only assume it was a return. Have been unbelievably impressed by it so far for the money. It has a 5.5 inch full HD display, which is really sharp with nice contrast. Without going into internals, it's very snappy and I've not experienced any bogging down or lag. It's really nicely built and the fingerprint reader, SD card slot and large battery are other welcome additions. It even came with two screen protectors and a case. Overall, it just seems like a really well polished product, it does have a slightly customized version of Android 6.0 but it's tasteful and all very stable and well thought out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems a decent buy Specs are similar to the Maya Max, other than the screen being smaller but higher resolution. Wasnt Blu the manufacturer that was affected by the preinstalled malware apps? I'd check that out if I were you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YER SISTERS YER MAW Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 If anyone is looking for a good spec phone for under £100 (£97.88 if you buy on Gearbest app), they could do worse than this. It has a 5.5" Super Amoled screen , 6200mAh battery and a good camera. Couple of reviews I've seen are positive too; 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't really see any noticeable difference. The main differences I can see are the displays. The Thor E has an 5.0 IPS LCD display while the plus has a 5.5 Super Amoled display. Both types have their advantages and disadvantages. Amoled displays produces deeper blacks, vibrant colours and use less power, giving much better battery life and can be viewed better than IPS at angles, while IPS gives brighter whites, good daylight readability with sharp text and images, but Amoled displays generally cost more to produce and are not normally seen on budget phones, rather the higher end ones. The plus also has a 6200 battery compared to the 5020 on the E. and double the ROM of the E at 32MB's. Both look really good phones though for their pricetag. Do you own a Thor E Bairney? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairney The Dinosaur Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Do you own a Thor E Bairney? Nope, I'm probably going to get the Elephone S8 soon. Wanting to also have a smaller, cheaper phone too. Weighing it up between all 3 of the Vernee Thor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YER SISTERS YER MAW Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 I ordered the blue one, so who knows Speak to live chat and ask them when your order will be despatched. I did that last week and they told me they were expecting another batch in this week and that my order had been moved to priority. I thought they were just giving the standard spiel that everyone gets but maybe it has pushed it on. Maybe worth a try. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've sent a message on Facebook messenger Looking at some of the Q&As on the product page , though, its not looking good. Lots of people who ordered before me being told it will be the end of October 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
