I don't have a phone currently (By choice, haven't really needed one until now) and I was wondering if I should hold out for snapdragon 835 or just get a phone now?
If I get a phone now it'll be the oneplus 3t, so I guess I could sell it and buy a new phone if the 835 is worth it.
Is it a bad choice right now at the very least buy a new phone? or am I expecting to wait a little while for the new phones to enter the market?

Realistically, you are gonna be looking at a year before that processor is used in phones. There may be a phone or two that comes out in Q4, but I would imagine it wont be until Q1 2018. If you need a phone now, I would suggest getting one and re-evaluating once the 835 arrives.

Okay so I'm confused then. Wasn't the 835 just announced by Qualcomm?

They are in full production last I heard.

Yeah I believe that. But it would be too late in the process for many manufacturers to incorporate it into a phone.
I could be wrong, but typically phones don't use a new processor so quickly. It's usually around a year or so. The pixel was one of the fastest to use the current generation last fall.

95% sure s8 will be using the 835..
It's a qualcomm chip, but samsung produces them in their fabs... so i don't see why they wouldn't have the chip in time.

Would you consider a oneplus device?

Oneplus is really the only option right now.. all the other phones suck (for their price).. besides the iphone,
You can get a huawei, which is actually good given the specs, but then all the girls will know you're poor..
Whereas if you own a oneplus, it's not --immediately obvious-- that we're poor.. hahahahahahaha

That's if Samsung played fair...

Not even paying to prevent the competitors from getting better CPUs will help Samsungs not be bad as they are. They are a complete joke compared to LG V series. the V20 is a great looking and sounding phone. I have a v10 and my gf has a v20. I didn't even convince her.

hahaha.. where's this bias coming from..
It's actually all pretty much the same in terms of utility..
The only obvious difference is price and aesthetics..
Which is why people are flocking to oneplus.. it's inexpensive and has all the things you actually use.. like the newest snapdragon , and i remember it also has the fastest storage architecture..
The only other feature comparison is camera.. Although I'd say this is niche, because all cellphone photos look crappy to me..
so you're down to, -- who has the best crappy camera --
