Hi all!
I'm looking to buy this Oneplus 3t used from this link - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MS66QGE/ref=ox_sc_act_title_4?smid=A389ML6MNB3VQK&psc=1,
This product is listed as the chinese version. I have several questions as to what this means. Can I get an LTE connection from T-Mobile using this phone? Does this mean that the phone ships with hydrogen OS instead of Oxygen OS? What other limitations will be presented to me using the chinese version of the phone?
If the phone ships with hydrogen, I'll just flash oxygen, not a big deal. What is a big deal is T-Mobile LTE support. (Note:I live in eastern PA). Some say that band 12 from T-Mobile cannot be accessed on the oneplus 3t. Some say it's a hardware issue, some say it's a software issue. I really can't justify buying this phone if I can't get a solid LTE connection (my current Nexus 6 phone works flawlessly in this regard). All of the forum posts that I have read seem to be many months old. I'm hoping that the issue was fixed at this point. I'm not even really sure what the "chinese version" means.
Any info at all helps!
Thanks so much!

XDA posted an article about a rumour and another article saying that the Pro model will have 5G
OnePlus 7 Pro forums are now open
It’s getting close to the time of year when a new OnePlus device is announced. We already know when the OnePlus 7 will be revealed. This year is a little different, however, as OnePlus is announcing multiple devices. We already opened the forums for the standard OnePlus 7 and now we have forums for the OnePlus 7 Pro.
The “Pro” version of the OnePlus 7 will support 5G, have a Quad HD+ Super AMOLED display, 90Hz refresh rate, 4,000 mAh battery, and fast 30W charging. It will also be more expensive than any other OnePlus device. If you’re excited about the phone, hit the link below to join the forum!

I though OP is making a 5G model separate from the Pro model
I saw some interesting 5G references playing around in the shortcut manager app earlier today.

It is. The model is Oneplus 7 Pro 5G. Different phone.
The OnePlus 7 Pro 5G being an n78-only phone would explain entirely why EE UK is the only partner for it. If the regular Pro has it, that would be insane. I don't think the mmwave antennas are needed for 3.5 GHz, especially if the phone doesn't support mmwave to begin with.

I know next to nothing about 5G, but have been holding out for the 5G version, hoping to use it on T-Mobile when it's available in the near future. Are you saying that the OnePlus 7 Pro 5G won't work in the US?

If it's only for 3.5 GHz, then no, not yet. It might work in a few years if the CBRS spectrum is auctioned off and built out, but not today. Europe is deploying 5G on that frequency.
If the phone support mmwave frequencies, then probably yes.
The rep told me the pro is actually 5G capable. #ThatIsAll

Thanks for the info! Guess I'll just wait to see when it's out.

Was that a T-Mobile or a OnePlus rep and did he/she sound "rep"utable?
A ONEPLus Rep that was there for the special release event. He works for Oneplus not TMO. So yes reputable.

I dought that is correct.
According to this: https://www.cellularmaps.com/5g-coverage.shtml "Verizon Mobile 5G is only available in Minneapolis & Chicago." I think we need someone with Verizon there to see if the 7 Pro gets 5g.
I got 5g Pro pre ordered with EE UK.
Release is 31st may.
Hoping for not locked bootloader as they said they don't lock OnePlus devices but this is exclusive to EE so hopefully they don't start to lock.
Anyone know how long the deal between op and we for the 5g exclusively is?
Seems like we won't get updates as quick till we can put stock aka non-EE oos on ...
Fast software updates were one of the main reasons I got a op7 pro 5g should have known about EE lol
Good evening all
I'm tempted to pull the trigger on the OnePlus 7 Pro (coming from a Mate10 Pro) but was wondering is there any difference between the US and UK versions (or is it a case of its one phone that is compatible with all the 'bands'). Only reason I ask is that I am located in the US for the next 18 months with trips back to the UK and then at the end of the 18 months moving back to the UK permanently.
And slightly unrelated question, those that have come from the Mate 10 Pro.......is it better?
TIA
tldr; any chance Sprint's OnePlus 7 Pro variant (GM1925) will get LineageOS support?
Greetings All,
Like a freakin' idiot I purchased the GM1925 without thinking (was eyeing the 7 pro for a few months now) - I was lulled by the good price it was going for without first double checking that particular variant was supported by lineageos....so stupid me spent 8 hours unlocking the phone and trying to get lineagos to install....the unlocking worked great (thanks to everyone that contributed to that document!)
Anyway before I try to return this phone or dumping it on ebay- would anyone be able to comment on the likelyhood of this 7 Pro variant will get lineageos support? In the event someone wants to buy the now unlocked bootloader GM1925 from me instead (I'll even preinstall Magisk, etc if you want ) - - feel free to DM me
Thanks in Advance!
Bob
