Do you need it now?
If you wait some time maybe OP3, Redmi 4x or the pinephone would be a good choice.
-
Its not needed now now but withing a frame of 2 or 3 weeks it is that is why i asked for advice
-
That quick I would personally recommend the OPP. Should be cheap enough from online reseller. Works well. I used one daily until I started seeing how the OP3 was working.
-
op3 how far from basic daily use is that, mainly because its a bit newer and faster
And here its found a bit more quickly than one plus one -
@sojab0on Coming along nicely for the OP3, but not as straight forward to setup as other devices. If you want the basics wirking then its fine. Calls, sms, camera (no zoom) web browsing, email, vpn and a small but vital range of apps are available. Bluetooth, adb, mtp are not. When all is sorted it will be a great device. A lot of good work and effort is being put in to get it working.
There is a thread on the forum for this device (I will add the link) have a read through all the info is there.https://forums.ubports.com/topic/3253/oneplus-3-3t/208

i have the need for bleutoth functionallity due to carkit communication and bleutooth headset connection for work related calls
so i will have to wait for that to work then

Hands free doesn't work in Ubuntu Touch. Lots of users are frustrated by the absence of the feature. Bleutooth connection mostly works and the music audio protocol operates correctly. Speech conversation does not. It may be that the SCO channel capability is not enabled: or that it is enabled and not found: or that it is enables and found but that the necessary codec is not enabled or is not found...
There may be a very simple fix but whatever the answer, it needs a mini project team of specialists - which we don't have. Hopefully such a team will form
