Deciding between the Xiaomi Mi 8 (6gb/64gb) for $480, OnePlus 6 (6gb/64gb) for $520, OnePlus 6 (8gb/128gb) for $580 and OnePlus 6T (6gb/128gb) for $720.
Prices are CAD.
I'm leaning towards the OnePlus 6 (64gb) for having the AUX and nice XDA community. Would choose the 6T for better battery but Im not sure if the price justifies it. I like the Mi 8 for the price but don't really know much about this phone.
guys m rocking vivo nex n now thinking to upgrade is oneplus 7 worth extra 10k to 12k?
should i upgrade?
If you can buy a cheaper Oneplus 6 or 6T, better buy those models. Oneplus 7 isn't worth it. I upgraded from Oneplus 6 and I'm very disappointed. Camera is better in Oneplus 6, vibration no improvement, no headphone jack. fingerprint scanner is preference. Battery improved a bit but my Oneplus 6 can last a day already. No substantial speed difference if you don't play games. Not worth it.

I would agree with this. Just happened I had vouchers and upgraded from the 6 to the 7.
Tried the 7plus for a day. Yuk. Selfie camera popped up in my pocket when I had a Duo call come in. Always thought that was stupid. Screen was nice but too many curves.
Just sold my 6 and wondering if I should send my 7 instead ?
If only pixel 3a had 6gb of ram and 128gb or space. That will be a better buy
I've been planning to upgrade from my Lenovo Zuk Z2 Plus to a OnePlus phone for a few months because of OnePlus's wide development support. My first option was 6T because of my budget (~300 for pre-owned). But after these months now I can afford a 7 series. But the confusion is which one to choose.
The Z2 had and has a strong custom ROM support for past years so I can't go for any device without it. That's why I'm going for OP device and it's my wish to own one since it's first launch in 2014.
So far after reading the threads of all 7 series phones including the 7T series, I think 7 Pro is the device with wide range of development support with most custom ROMs. But for my budget I could afford a 7 or 7T maximum or a 7 Pro with 6GB 128. If I pick 7 Pro with 6GB RAM will it perform worse than 8GB one? I'm a casual user but play with rooting, modding and so on. I stopped playing games completely a few years ago so it doesn't matter.
Since the upcoming OP 8 series will most likely with punch hole display which I never like. So if I buy a 7 Pro with 6GB it should last at least the next two years without any issue.
Please help me if I can go with 7 Pro 6GB 128GB, or should pick any bigger spec, or any other series.
I complied the list of OnePlus 7 series ROMs. At present 7 Pro beats the rest in number of ROMs.
OnePlus 7 - Unofficial Lineage OS, Potato OS(Alpha), Kali NetHunter (overlay)
OnePlus 7 Pro - PE, xXX no limits, Evolution X, Havoc OS, BlissRoms, Paranoid Android Quartz (Beta), Unofficial Lineage OS, MIUI 11, crDroid, OmniRom, Elemental X, CarbonROM, Resurrection Remix, Kali NetHunter (overlay), AOSiP 9, and much more OOS based, Pixel based ROMs and many Pie ROMs
OnePlus 7T - OmniRom, AOSiP (Alpha)
OnePlus 7T Pro - OmniRom

I doubt you'll lose a significant amount of performance going with the cheaper model. If it's any consolation, my OnePlus 3T has the same RAM configuration, and while yes it's slower due to the snapdragon 821, it is still a very solid performer. I believe the Pixel 4 does as well, and OOS is not super bloated or anything like that. If you can swing it, I'd go for one of the 8 GB or 12 GB models, but those seem to be a bit difficult to come across new at this point. It seems like OnePlus may be clearing out their inventory as they had a sale on all of the 7 pro models, and the only one that's left in stock was the 6 GB/128 GB model, but that's pure speculation on my part lol
TL;DR If you can, get the higher RAM model of the 7 Pro, if not, then the 6 GB model should be okay, but that's entirely up to you. You pretty much only lose some multitasking capacity
I just tried my friend's OP 7 Pro for the first time, but unfortunately it's too uncomfortable for my (small) hands. I tried with and without the back cover I found too much difficult to perform daily using apps. The curved screen is very great to look but it isn't user friendly (in my case). My friend has bigger hands he can use the phone very easily.
Everything is great, the 90Hz display, camera, and of course the speakers. It's just a few mm longer in all sides and about some grams heavier than 6T (which too he has) but I found it very difficult to use. I'm very sad that I didn't expect this kinda thing. Don't know what to do ?

Thank you so much for the detailed response but I can't decide if I should buy it or not because I think it won't be comfortable for my usage.
I think I better go for Redmi K20 Pro (Mi 9T Pro). I can get the highest end version 8GB 256GB for $340 with 1 year protection plan. For OnePlus 7 Pro with that spec it costs $600 without any protection plan. Redmi K20 Pro also has a wide range of development support, that's why I chose that. Please let me know your comments.
Blloc by Ratio For Oneplus 6
Blloc is one of the minimalist android os it is different than any other android base custom UI it now you can download for various device such as OP 7, OP 7 pro, pixel 4, and pixel 3a. I want to know anyone can take op7 rom and it port for our oneplus 6 it must be revolution. I am not developer but if anyone can please do it for our device. You can view it from blloc.com
I believe blloc is now available for OnePlus 6 series as well as Pixel 3 series. Do checkout.
where can i download port version for oneplus 6
I have blloc ratio on my oneplus 6!
Go to their website, register for oneplus 6 device, it took 2-3 weeks to get me the app and license
It's a cool launcher, I would stay on it if I could put widgets on it...
I was caught between three phones. My expectation from the phone is fluent, not bad camera and playing pubg comfortably in the evenings. I do not consider the price.
What could these or any other phone you suggest?
