OnePlus now offers 8GB RAM/128GB storage configuration in Slate Gray

Previously an exclusive configuration for the Midnight Black model, the 8GB of RAM with 128GB of storage is now available for the Slate Gray version of the OnePlus. It’s available at the same price as the Midnight Black at €559 (around CA$830). But if you’re okay with 6GB of RAM with 64GB storage, you can get that at €499 (around CA$740). OnePlus is also still selling Midnight Black in the same configuration. If you’ve had your eye on the Soft Gold version, unfortunately, you’re going to be stuck with 6GB of RAM with 64GB of storage for now.

Android O will be the last OS update for OnePlus 3/3T

OnePlus 3T

We have some bad news for OnePlus 3 and 3T owners. The two devices will only get Android O as its last major software update. With the company turning its attention to OnePlus 5, we're not surprised that this is happening. However, if we think about the timeline, it's been relatively short and both will fall short of the standard two-year cycle for software updates. The OnePlus 3 came out just June of last year, while the 3T came out just November of 2016. Technically, this will be the second major update for the OnePlus 3. But it does feel like there could be room for one more. OnePlus does mention that there will be security patch updates coming to the devices in the "foreseeable future" but its Open Beta Program will be moving to the OnePlus 5 once the two devices have been updated to Android O.

OnePlus dismisses ‘jelly scrolling effect’ on OnePlus 5, claims it’s normal

Some OnePlus 5 users have been complaining about this jelly-like effect when scrolling through an app on the phone. OnePlus just addressed, or should we say dismissed, this issue saying that it’s a normal thing for the device. In a statement, they say “the OnePlus 5 uses the same level of high-quality components as all OnePlus devices, including the AMOLED display. We've received feedback from a small number of users saying that at times they notice a subtle visual effect when scrolling. This is natural and there's no variance in screens between devices.”

Because of this announcement, unfortunately, it would seem filling a warranty replacement won’t get you anything. But if this bothers you and you’re still well within the 15-day return policy, then that seems to be your only recourse at the moment.
