I just received my OnePlus 6 Midnight Black with 128 GB. It's A6003 and was sealed but didn't include a case like I thought it would.
Did yours come with with? Are Amazon's devices different? Kinda wondering.

Strange. Everything was sealed, the device has the screen protector pre-installed and else it's fine. Just the case is missing. Weird.

It should be in the narrow box underneath the phone tray along with the paperwork.

Nope, I know that. Called Amazon. I get a € 100 discount for that. Tried factory mode and tested everything. Device looks as new and is A6003. IMEI sticker, the other sticker with the lash and case are missing though.
I assume someone unboxed it, sent it back and Amazon or OnePlus repackaged it, sealed it and sold it. The device is in good shape and I pay the same as with a Warehouse Deal. So I'll keep it.
Amazon has done something similar with the Nintendo 3DS XL as some had IPS display panels instead of VA. People kept sending it back like crazy to get an IPS panel and Amazon started selling non-sealed devices as new.
Just for your information if anybody has the same issue as I do. Contact Amazon, they will offer you a discount.

You can find an IMEI check websites where you could get some info on history of your device, manufacturing and shipping dates etc..., also, what is the IMEI SV(software version) number on your phone, is it 01, 02 or higher?

Ok, so I ordered a used 32GB Transformer on Amazon at a great price, but was wondering even if it is either a B7 or B8 should I even bother keeping it cause I cannot get root? I mean will it really come? I will get it tomorrow and will know more if it can be rooted or not, but if it is not, should I just return it and get something else?
no i dont think you should get something else this is the best out there and allot of people have said that it is the first stock experience they were really happy with and with garenteed ics in the next few months that experience can only get better

Well I am just hoping even if I am lucky enough not to get a B7 or B8, that it can be done for all the others.
I got my used 32gb from Amazon a few days ago, it is a B50. I would be willing to wager yours will be the same. I think Amazon got a bulk purchase returned and are now reselling them. Also so you know, mine came in perfect condition, still had the protective film on the bottom and on the usb cord. It was missing the screen protector film, but otherwise you wouldn't know it was "used". Came in the original box with instruction envelope charger and cord.
the transformer is a great stock device. I've owned about 5 android smartphones(Droid, Droid x, incredible, fascinate, thunderbolt) and rooted them all to feel like they were worth it and usable. I haven't even thought about rooting mine and I got it when it first came out. this tablet is great right out of the box and wouldn't trade it for any other tablet out right now, especially if you got the keyboard.

That gives me a bit a relief, I ordered a 32GB "Like New" one for $311 shipped. I have good things about Amazon Warehouse Deals like new products, some say they "are" brand new for the most part, as you said. I will find out later today when it comes in...got to love Amazon Prime one day shipping!
I bought a new one and it didn't come with a screen protector

I was going off a youtube "unboxing/review" video I saw, it showed a plastic film thing on the screen. Nothing you would want to leave on there as it was thick and had lots of air bubbles under it.
As for Amazon prime.......omg I can't tell you how nice it is. For me I don't have to even do the $3.99 overnight, I am in Indiana the warehouse is just across the border in Kentucky so the free two day shipping means overnight to me 99% of the time. I actually got something the same day once
There is a scratch on the display which is barely noticable and affects nothing. The rear facing cam does not work, and the phone only works in speaker mode.
If I were to list this locally what kind of offers could I expect?
Check out kijiji and that will give you an idea.
I was lucky and got a nexus with a busted screen and sticky power button for 20. I put everything into a new lcd from Aliexpress. I also got a bricked nexus 5 with a perfect screen and all working internals, except the motherboard, for 50.
I would say you would be lucky to get 80.

Thanks for the reply. The display looks amazing and has a screen protector on it and the scratch is minor.
Gonna take it up to a cell shop tomorrow and see how much it will cost to fix vs how much I can get to sell.
The ear piece doesn't work? Is that why the phone can only be used in speakerphone mode?

I believe so. I took it apart and all the connections look fine.
The camera is cheap to replace if you order a replacement from eBay or Aliexpress. For the earpiece issue, there could be an issue with the motherboard connector or the earpiece itself.
Sounds like you are handy and these two things should be easy to remedy.
In its current state no more than $100. Most likely $50-70
I'm thinking about buying one myself. There's a seller on my local Craigslist that's selling white 32gig versions for $130.. brand new, never used, and still in the box.
Just to let you know what a new one can go for.
Sent from my Galaxy S5 using Tapatalk
130 is not bad at all but seems almost too low for those specs.
Gonna run it up today and let you know how I make out. I don't need he phone, so am just gonna sell it for whatever I can get. Well, I won't be low balled.
Good luck. Let us know what sort of offers you get.
Anyone tried and buy F8332 model from ebay? Their price seems a bit cheaper than amazon. The seller also includes free shipping.
I did a search on "sony xz f8332".

I bought the Xperia Z2 from eBay. It was 10K less then on Amazon (INR).
So basically, these devices are international variants, brought from international markets such as China & sold in your country, the phone is absolutely fine but you might get the charger of some different country. Also, you might not get manufacturer warranty but sellers warranty, which means if anything goes wrong, you cannot take your device to Sony & raise a claim, you'll have to return it to the eBay seller & he'll hook you up with a replacement.
The best part was
When i bought the Z2, I received model version D6503 which hat LTE/4G whereas the Z2 available in India was with the model version D6502, which did not support LTE/4G.,
I got my phone from here and got it within two days.

Yeah. It's a bit narrow and due to the curved glass it lifts on the edges no matter how much I press down on it.
Another member posted in another thread of a 3D glass screen protector. I might wanna give that a shot. But I might also just wait till the SCTF10 case is available on eBay.

I've been looking at that seller as it's much cheaper than buying in Australia ($999 AUD for Forest Blue).
My main concern is the warranty and stuff, which seems non-existant on (international) phones for Sony.
Can you tell me a bit more about how the item was packaged / gifts received / safe to buy?

I'm from Melbourne and I bought mine from an eBay seller called "buybuybox" for 807 AUD delivered. It only took 3 business days from order to arrival on my desk. No complaints so far.
Wow! Nice shop! Thanks for share!
the extended warranty is how it works?
No idea, I assumed there was no warranty. I didn't really read the ad though lol.

Lol i read the warranty is for 12 month and can be increased to 24 month with optional overpriced
However I think 12 month is the most convenient given that in general offers them the producer.
For what it's worth, I just bought an XZ from the seller tropical_mobile on eBay on Tuesday, and it showed up today from Singapore.
Compared with the US retail version, the only differences I noticed were that the box was sealed, included some cheap earbuds, a screen protector that doesn't give full coverage, and the power adapter is gigantic.
As for customs, there wasn't a declaration form anywhere on my package.

Yes. It was part of the built-in setup process. Though in fairness, I had also flashed the generic UK ROM on a US phone, and the reader worked just fine there, too.
Anyway, when the phone first booted, there were some messages in what I presume to be Mandarin. I have no idea what they said, and I don't remember the US version doing that out of the box. Once you tap through them, you get the option to change the language, and it was pretty much smooth sailing from there.
Anyone from the UK bought the dual XZ from the Uk comment on decent sellers?

Seems a good shop with decent terms and warranty; they've sold alot too.
Sadly no european stock.
I have just received my XZ dual and all seems to be OK apart from the not so great camera, which I expected.
I have just found that there is a light bleed coming from the phone body, in the bottom right corner, between the display panel and frame. Waterproofing test seems to be working. Also it always stops about half second later after I turn off the screen, which is a bit strange.
I am adding a picture...
Does anyone have similar issue?
No light bleed on mine. Think the camera is fine too.

If you brought the phone brand new you don't need to sent it back to seller. It has international warranty for 2 years. Sony will fix the issue or replace handset.

Thanks for your advice. The seller has actually contacted me with the return shipping details and I will be returning it to their UK hotspot.
I have decided to get a refund instead of a repair or replacement as I am not really sure I want this phone anymore, at least not now. It's a beauty, but I will wait once all the issues are fixed and then maybe get one.

Ok guys I just ordered the cheapest lcd replacement kit(lcd+digitizer without frame) in just 1500₹(~22dollars) from eBay.
Link- https://m.ebay.in/itm/For-OnePlus-O...zer-Without-Frame-1-1-/272463439560?hash=NDY=
P.s.- I applied coupon so don't ask ques like how I got it in such less.
And it is sort of unbranded...
So my ques is that anybody tried any unbranded/generic brand lcd replacement? Is it worth the price and will it work fine? Should I cancel the order if you have better options?
I can get refund if it doesn't work but that's only in like 90% of the cases so what are your suggestions on it?
Thanks!
Looks like you could potentially end up with issues with this screen, if not now, later. If you venture over to /r/mobilerepair, the sidebar has some very good part sources. In my experience, most of the parts of ebay and amazon were "reject" parts that have been refurbished. That said, for a lot of legal reasons, it's hard to find replacement parts with oem logos. Never skimp on yourself when buying repair parts, as you really do get what you pay for in this industry.

So what do you suggest?
Delivery from aliexpress takes 20 days to here so I don't think I can actually order from that.
Finding an oem one in resilient price is challenge.

You're going to have to forget the idea of buying OEM, OEM replacement parts don't exist. The closest thing you'll find are OEM-grade or oem-equivalent. Have you ever repaired your OPO or any phone before? If not, I would suggest this one:
http://m.repairsuniverse.com/oneplus-one-lcd-touch-screen-assembly-with-frame-replacement.html
It has the frame attached, so there won't be any excessive getting or prying at glass, just transfer all the little stuff over.

Yes sir,I do have experience with repairing phones,hardware and stuff and I can easily detach lcd from the frame.
I know eBay is not that trustable but can you see the link that I have given and tell me if it looks promising.
Thanks!
Edit: How can I see if the lcd replacement is OEM-equivalent or not? By it's price,brand or what?
Because the one I have ordered on eBay is unbranded but also the link you gave,doesn't carry any brand name either.
Thanks again.
If i'm not mistaken for OPO there only two manufacturers that makes those LCD replacement...JDI (original manufacturers) and LG (if i'm not mistaken)....there no way to find out which manufacturers that makes those LCD by looking that ebay or something but you can find out when you look closer once it got in your hand....
there two way to find out whether you bought a good LCD or not....
1. look at the hardware button - none original will have a dim/fade light on hardware button....
2. screen brightness - you will notice the differences when you moved the brightness to 100% or to the lowest...
