just a quick question:
has it EVER happened, that oneplus increased the prices of a phone after it came out?
for example: oneplus 7 pro 8gb costs 760€ now, they sell Very Well and immediately sell out the whole stock. 1-2 weeks later the phone is available again but with higher price (e.g 800€ for same 8gb variant) because people are OBVIOUSLY loving the phone and are prepared to pay (even more).. This would be a **** move of course, but a wonderful business strategy..and it's not like it has never happened in the business world. The question is: could oneplus do such a thing? or did they ever do it? (I am closely watching\interested in this company only since 6t so I don't know it that well).
I'm guessing they can't afford to do so with the current model as it will hurt future sales. They will however incorporate the price hike in the "next model" release which most likely would be just a "limited edition" color or co-branding. That's what I would do business wise anyway...

I have had most OnePlus phones and I've never seen that happen.
No manufacturer in their right mind would do this. They know their cost to build/develop the device, and, understand their sales forecast, and how to price it from the release date. It is all part of the product cycle.
Edit: This may be a Canada only price reduction and cashback situation
SEE: OnePlus cuts cost of OnePlus 7 Pro by $100 in Canada, offers cashback to original purchases
I just received an email that due to a price adjustment OnePlus will be refunding the price difference on OnePlus 7 Pro units purchased between 10AM ET, May 17 and 12PM ET, June 28 is eligible for cashback that covers the price difference. The money is automatically deposited into the account you originally paid and not some write-in or web page, which I appreciate. It looks like all three hardware configurations of the OnePlus 7 Pro are covered.
I must say that that's a class move especially for a second time OnePlus customer like myself (previous OnePlus 5 owner).
Thanks OnePlus!
Hard to believe, is there a link to this announcement?

Wow, that's incredible. I've never seen a phone manufacturer backpedal like that on price. Good on them for admitting to the price markup compared to the US and acting on it.
That's sweet for you all! ?
This is true, I got an email from OnePlus letting me know I'll be getting some money back due to the price change. It's pretty awesome of OnePlus to do this for original purchases!
yay!
I got mine a few hours ago. Guess we will find out if they keep their word. The email does not say how much we will get back though.
I'm in Canada and can confirm that I got an email about the $100 cashback.

All of the 7 Pro models dropped by $100 so you should be getting back that much. The email says cashback for the price difference.
I have now received my refund ($115). I am so impressed by this. They did not have to do anything as, as an early adopter, I always expect to pay a premium. Even some sort of credit towards a future purchase would have been nice, but actual cash back is beyond any expectations.
It certainly has made me more likely to keep supporting OnePlus in the future.
I'm still waiting good to know at least 1 person got something.
Got a refund.
This type of thing helps me to decide to be a loyal customer.
Paid about $1000, the price went down $100 and they gave me a refund did not need to ask it just happened.
Got a refund as well !
Received mine ($124 Nebula Blue) on Jul 15th into my credit card account via PayPal like a few others.
I'll likely recycle the money on a Whitestone Dome tgsp screen protector, DBrand skin and an aluminum bumper protector. Sadly my $20 ebay Front&Back tempered glass protector isn't up to snuff but I suspected that going in, when there wasn't a wide selection of cases.
Got mine today too! $115.50. I may put it into another dash charger for upstairs.
Hey 3DSammy
I want help on MHL hdmi resolution for OP7T which is still on OOS 10.3.6 rooted.
I have a 4k display which limits my HDMI output to 4k 30FPS. I want to make it 2560X1440 which OP7T supports on 60FPS. If any link for this requirement please share with me. I want to forcefully send 2K resolution to my external Disply without having an edid emulator.
So backstory, I found a really good deal on Facebook Marketplace for a OnePlus 8T (US Version unlocked from Amazon) for $370. It's in excellent condition, is paid off, and seems to be the unlocked KB2005 model.
Since the phone is basically half off at that price, I'm super tempted by it. However, the other part of me almost wants to wait for the inevitable OnePlus 9/9 Pro announcements in March and maybe get that one of those on launch. I also had the idea of selling my current phone or the 8T if I'm impressed by either model. That's where I thought I'd come to XDA to ask for advice on what I should do, or if anyone has other ideas!
I currently own a 6T that I got on launch in 2018 and I absolutely love it. It still works well, but being a big tech enthusiast is making me start to get an itch to upgrade soon (especially since my dad just got a Galaxy S21 and was really impressed just helping him set it up).
Thanks all!
I also was on the fence with ditching my 6T for this one, but it's quite an upgrade in almost every way. Once you experience how fluid the screen refresh is, there is no going back. I scored mine on a trade-in promo. Wouldn't pay full retail for it, tho. Seems like a really good deal at that price point. 9 series is going to be very expensive at first, so factor that in. If anything, grab 8T and see if t-mobile is going to be running trade-in promos on them (9 series). You can always sell it on swappa for more if you don't like it.

You bring up a good point there regarding trade in deals. I'd also imagine that T-Mobile is bound to have a deal for the 9 Series. I got my 6T on their original trade in deal in 2018 where you could trade the OG OnePlus One and get $300 off the 6T. It was a no brainer, since I essentially got full value for a 4 year old phone.
Do you recommend oneplus 8t or is better wait?
Hi there, unfortunately my actual phone stoped working and I came back for my backup phone.
So I'm looking for a new phone and in this moment we can find Oneplus 8t for around $500.
Do you think that is a good deal? Or is better wait for a possible oneplus 9 lite with SD 870?
After watch and read many reviews, I did a list with the principal points. Can you tell me if the list match with your real usage?
here are the good things that I observed:
+Screen
+Battery
+Fast Charger 65w
+Dual speaker
+Oxygen Os
In other side:
- Others chargers doesn't look work well
- No SD 865 Plus
- Regular camera
last month traded my Tmo OP7T (with $90 balance, so i paid it off) with Tmo OP8T, paid $0 out of pocket, and it actually lowered my monthly by $20/mo. Tmo still valued the OP7T for $750. So, new phone, lower monthly
Curiosity got the best of me, wanna try that flip4 to see what is it about so, I traded my S22 vanilla for $650. Fair trade I think, I paid $799 for the S22 256GB and now adding $350 I'll have the flip, blue, also 256GB plus a free blue silicon cover. Novelty, but I'm hoping that the flip form has its pluses, small in the pocket and then: voila! got 6.7" screen. I'm also curious about that Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, supposedly no heating issues and a positive reviews about battery endurance.
Lesser camera setup comparing to S22 and that's ok, I enjoyed the S22 mostly as being a 'pocket' phone, I also have the 22U to carry around if I'm expecting to spot something interesting for photos/videos.
I also found out today, after placing my order with Samsung, that am gonna be able to pick-up the package personally, right from the BestBuy store - no more worries about unreliable/tricky Fedex deliveries.
You said it, the "small in the pocket" is what this phone has to offer. I have a Z Flip3 that I'm upgrading. I'll never go back to a brick in the pocket.
I lucked out on the announcement day by getting $900 for my current Flip3, for a blue Flip4 with 256GB and a blue case, for $99. I thought it was a great deal, and on Tuesday, August 23 I'll know for sure. ;-)
I pre-ordered the Flip 4 with a Flip 3 trade in for make value. Also picked up the watch 5 pro and buds pro 2. It was too much of a deal to pass up. My daily driver is the s22 plus. FedEx has my delivery possibly for tomorrow. The package is already at my local FedEx hub.
I really wanted the watch and new buds. I may just sell the Flip 4. Hopefully everything is delivered tomorrow.
Ordered mine 5 minutes into presales available. Said delivery would be today. Nope. Got a tracking number stating next Thursday and tracking number not even active after almost 2 days. Go figure...

Here in the US? That sucks. I ordered flip4 blue on 8/19 and picked it up at BestBuy today. The retail sales at Bb starting tue 8/30. And I was just complaining in the other thread here that the bestbuy doesn't handle trade-ins returns.
Yep, waiting in USA
Made an order for a black 256gb 7 Pro. $999 minus $540 trade in for a 6 Pro in 256gb and also received a $200 Google store credit promotion.
I got my order in! 2 black 256gb. 1 for me and my girl.
Hazel, 512GB here. $275 for a Pixel 3XL trade is not too shabby, considering they are going for well under $200 on Swappa. Guess I can use the $200 credit for a tablet, or nest device.
Hazel here. Something different as the last 6 Pixels were black.

Here in Canada, they're offering a whopping $71 for 3XL. Why bother?
I did a 256gb snow from Best Buy in the USA. This is the first time I have a viable trade in option (pixel 6 128gb) so I signed up for that too but we'll see what the final offer is. My pixel 6 is pristine but I'll wait for the in person offer and decide - $480 seems high and I just don't trust anything these days. Got the $200 e-gift card for my mac mini purchase down the road. Hopefully no faulty first device like my Pixel 6 that I had to return and the 2nd one worked like it should have.
Got mine from the Google store. Traded in my P6P for $480. Here's to hoping that the radio is better on the P7P.
In the UK the trade in was £320 for P6P so not worth (when £500 on ebay) it but i assume thats because the watch comes with pre orders, which makes it a really good deal. Upgraded on the strength of the macro and zoom lenses and hoping the caonectivity/modem is better
Preorderded the 128GB in black with EE, and will get the Pixel Watch LTE chucked into that for free
Does anyone have modem information used on the P7P?

Google hasn't offered any info yet, there is just the leak/romour that the P7 Pro will use a new/unannounced Samsung Exynos 5300 modem.
According to
First details of Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro come roaring out: 2nd-gen Tensor, new Samsung modem
9to5Google has uncovered concrete details of the Pixel 7 and 7 Pro, including the devices’ codenames, Tensor chip, and Samsung modem.
9to5google.com
"GS201 chip will feature a – currently unreleased – Samsung modem with the model number “g5300b.” For comparison, the Pixel 6 lists its modem as “g5123b,” which is the Exynos Modem 5123. Given the model number, we believe Google’s second-generation Tensor chip will have the Exynos Modem 5300"

Since Google doesn't offer any info on their website about the modem, we'll probably have to wait for a teardown/review where the modem either gets read out in software, or someone takes the phone apart and can tell us what's inside.
Still in wait and watch mode.... for now.
Ordered White P7P and Matte Watch. I'll take the $480 from Google for my P6P and use the $200 for Buds Pro.
P7P 256GB Hazel (time to mix it up a bit: all my prior phones have been black) and P7 128GB Obsidian. $400 credit (=$800 total) at the Google Store for each of two Pixel 5s 128GB.
What's the consensus on the color for the 7 Pro?
I just pre-ordered snow (or white), but the hazel with bronze accent looks really good also.
P7P 128 Obsidian here.
I preordered a Pixel 7 Pro 256GB in Hazel with a free Pixel Watch LTE from the UK Google Store. That was too good an offer to pass up.

I am in the same boat as you. I grabbed a Snow P7P 256GB model and am trading in my Black P6P 256GB. The remaining price had disgruntled me at first, however, I couldn't resist doing the upgrade to what appears to be a device that has the few extra features that would cause the phone to be perfect for 2-3 years of my usage.
I am, however, still rather worried about the colors... I was so torn between the Snow and Hazel models - and I don't know if going with the white one was the wrong/right choice... I can't really see them in person first and so I'm torn by only getting to see a few quick glimpses of the backs of the phones in some of the online video overviews...
