So it appears that you can't get the regular One Plus 7 in the US, but I would assume you could still order from One Plus & use it on T-Mobile correct? As long as the bands are there, it should be a global phone right? Don't really find that my wife needs the 7 Pro, so that's what I was considering.

It should work.
You'll likely have to pay an import premium and you won't have a warranty on it. By the time you do that, your price may be close to the Pro anyway.
The 6T is getting a modest price cut. $30 - big whoop.
Some things to consider.

Do you think it would be an import premium if it comes directly from their site? I bought my 6T from them directly, but at the same time, the 6T was something you could also get here at T-mobile. Unfortunately they'll only have the pro.
If however there was an import fee & they won't ship it to the US & I have to go 3rd party, then yeah, you could be right about being close to the Pro. I came close to the Xiaomi Mi 9 for my wife, but held off to see what the 7 brought. And sadly they didn't make it a US release like they've done with everything else. At least my 5T & 6T were both bought from them.
Seems like... Oh, we aren't going to release it in the US because it's geared towards places who can't dish out the 7 Pro price. Almost like your being forced to get the Pro. This could go against them & sway people wanting the 7 vs Pro just going with a different manufacturer.
I just found it odd when I heard that since my plan was the 7 for the wife. All I was waiting on was full specs, release date & price.

The OnePlus website for the US is not even showing the OP7 ("non-Pro"), basically like it doesn't even exist. Just the 7 Pro and the 6T. I get the feeling if you want a 7, you'll need to get it from a 3rd party vendor.

If there's a minimal mark-up I could handle it. If it reaches the 7 pro price, I'd pass. I've asked this question in the AMA thread for today hoping for an answer as are others. We'll see.

If you're wondering what the answer is to the burning question...
"At OnePlus, we've consistently delivered the best smartphone technology because we are committed to providing premium products and experiences for consumers. As OnePlus continues to grow, the company will naturally need to adapt and expand its product portfolio. The OnePlus 7 Pro is an ultra-premium flagship device that is uniquely positioned to meet the needs of US users. As a breakthrough device with capabilities that match or exceed what is currently available on the US market, and an industry-leading display that sets a new standard for smoothness, the OnePlus 7 Pro offers the best possible smartphone experience for consumers. We will continue to sell the OnePlus 6T alongside the OnePlus 7 Pro for users looking for a premium flagship experience."

What I find odd is they assume "everyone" wants the premium device. Obviously not the case. Why limit what you sell? It's not like it's not already physically available. Sell your higher end SKU to the hardcore users and your mid tier to your non. Do you think 90% of the people looking at a phone cares about HDR 10+? My wife sure doesn't.
Why is it Google, Samsung, Apple, etc give us options for what fits what we want but OP can't? Buy giving those options, you grab more customers.
It just boggles me over their reasoning. I'd like to see the stats that says everyone in the US wants a premium device. We've already seen evidence on multiple forums that not everyone does.
I like my 6T, but for the wife, I won't be going 7 Pro.

So I went through the spec sheet, & importing it isn't even an option because they've omitted band 66 & 71 on the phone.
T-mobile bands: 2,4,66,5,12,71
6T: contains all of those as does the 7 pro.
7: 2,4,5,12.
Guess they made it known they didn't even want people importing it by omitting those.
I did read once where someone said all phones with that hardware has those bands, but they aren't enabled. Not sure about that, but yeah.

I've been considering ordering a OP7 from aliexpress. It is actually cheaper (like $525 US). They flash it to the Global Rom which is supposed to have bands 66 & 71. It is supposed to support OTA updates as well. Plus, you can get that Red one which is only available in China. There is no warranty, but I really hate the curved edges on the Pro, and it is just so big. The 7 seems to have fixed everyhing which was wrong with the 6t.

Does anyone know if the oneplus one from fastcardtech has the same development support as going through and buying it from actual Oneplus? The specs look the same except for this one uses Color OS instead of CM11S. I'd love to have the OPO but haven't been able to get an invite when I have the money. And since I can buy this at any time I thought I would ask.
Thanks!

It's basically the same thing, the Chinese version but it's fine if you're in Europe ( will only work with certain carriers in the U.S though). With regards to os you can flash cyanogen or whatever you want, as it's the same hardware.
P.s. check out oppomart.com, coolicool.com, to see who is the cheapest.

WCDMA: Bands: 850/900/1900/2100MHz,*LTE FDD: Bands: 1800/2100/2600MHz
* Please inquire your SIM provider if it works on Oneplus one before place order.
The LTE standard covers a range of many different bands, each of which is designated by both a frequency and a band number. In North America, 700, 750, 800, 850, 1900, 1700/2100 (AWS) and 2600 MHz (Rogers Communications, Bell Canada) are used (bands 4, 7, 12, 13, 17, 25, 26, 41); 2500 MHz in South America; 800, 900, 1800, 2600 MHz in Europe(bands 3, 7, 20);1800 and 2600 MHz in Asia (bands 1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 11, 13, 40);and 1800 MHz and 2300 MHz in Australiaand New Zealand (bands 3, 40).As a result, phones from one country may not work in other countries. Users will need a multi-band capable phone for roaming internationally.
Will they support T-Mobile LTE band 71
Yea, I'm 99% sure. Since it will have Snapdragon 845 like the Galaxy S9- that supports b71. We should also see VoLTE and WiFi calling like in all other OnePlus phones.

Came here to ask a similar question. Now that the details and specs have all been released... I've always had carrier phones, currently with Tmobile. Using the op6 in north america(florida) will this phone get the same kind of reception and network speeds as a carrier branded phone would, like an s9 or lg bought from a tmobile store?

I'm in PA but I can tell you my wife has an s9+ and although her reception is fine, mines better on the op6 on metro (which is T-Mobile). As for band 71, I don't have much of that deployed near me but I've used most other bands listed on oneplus' website so I think it'll work fine.
Sent from my OnePlus 6 using XDA Labs
Why does this matter? I'm on T-Mobile and OnePlus 6 works like a charm. In full bar areas, I'm getting 100 mbps
I will make this brief. My wife purchased a OP6 from Gearbest over the weekend, big sale and got he op6 for $389. I just had a chance to look into it and it is the A6000 model with oxygen os. My concern is that it will not be compatible with Tmo lte bands in the USA, or well the ones that matter. Where we live there is no band 71 yet, so that is out the window. Here are the bands it says it supports.
Network:
GSM: 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900MHz, CDMA: BC0 / BC1
WCDMA: B1 / 2 / 4 / 5 / 8 / 9 / 19, TD-SCDMA: B34 / 39
TD-LTE: B34 / 38 / 39 / 40 / 41,
FDD-LTE: B1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 7 / 8 / 12 / 17 / 18 / 19 / 20 / 25 / 26 / 28 / 29 / 66
Should we be concerned about coverage, or should we cancel this order for the phone?
Edit: If someone in the USA is using the A6000 model and is on Tmo, can you provide your experiences wit this phone on TMO? I realize this is subjective to where you live and coverage. Just curious. Thank you in advance
I'm on the 6000 with Metro, and I have zero issues. Believe we don't have access to the 600 band, but that's not active in central Florida

Where we live band 71 (which I think is band 600 for Tmo) is not available here either. How is coverage and day to day useage for you on the A6000? Again I know this is subjective to your area. How are your LTE speeds, etc?

Okay, so if I do not cancel her order, she should be fine with the A6000 on Tmo in our area then. Perhaps I will just let it finalize and ship. Besides I have been on chat with Gearbest waiting for a reply chat for over an hour with no response. Anyways, thank you for the response qbanlinxx.

T-Mobile will sell the OnePlus 7 Pro with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage for $0 down and $29.17 per month for 24 months on an Equipment Installment Plan. T-Mobile will also offer the OnePlus 7 Pro through JUMP! On Demand, with JOD pricing set at $0 down and $31 per month for an 18-month lease. T-Mo will sell the OnePlus 7 Pro in Nebula Blue and Mirror Grey.
As you’d expect from a brand new flagship phone on T-Mobile, the OnePlus 7 Pro supports all of T-Mo’s LTE network features. That includes 600MHz (LTE band 71) as well as 4×4 MIMO, 256 QAM, License Assisted Access (LAA), and carrier aggregation.

I don't want the T-Mo version, the unlocked one on their site has all of the bands including 66, and 71.
My main question I need answered before buying this phone is whether RCS will work on the unlocked one. Otherwise I'll wait and pay more for the Note 10
My Telco uses band 3 and 40. I purchased my op 7p from the US site, as per the site, the American op store version has band 3 but not 40. Do u guys know if this can be changed via software or is it the hardware?
The version in India has both band 3 and 40.

My Telco uses band 3 and 40. I purchased my op 7p from the US site, as per the site, the American op store version has band 3 but not 40. Do u guys know if this can be changed via software or is it the hardware?

I would like to know this too - B40 support for OP7Pro North America model.
I am interested in B40 which seems very important for India.

Being in the US I'm thinking about buying a foreign OnePlus 7 (nonPro) and trying to get it onto Verizon's network. It looks from the specs that it supports the same network bands as the 6T & 7 Pro & if Verizon doesn't allow it to connect I could call and just tell them it's a 6T or 7 Pro and see if they'll let it connect ?*. Idk it's a big risk to buy a phone and not know if it's going to be compatible with my preferred network.
Anyone know if it will work or know of any non-pro OnePlus 7s on Verizon's network yet?
Thanks!

Not sure your source on why you think it has the same bands, because it doesn't. But, it may still work on Verizon if they'll allow it.

Sorry, same CDMA bands and very similar overall.
This is from PhoneArena.
Note that the 7 doesn't have band 13 which is the backbone of VZ.
Here is a detailed breakdown of the 4G LTE bands that Verizon uses:
Band 2 (1900MHz): this is a band that Verizon is actively transitioning from 2G/3G for use for LTE. It is currently a supplementary carrier that brings more capacity to the network and is commonly deployed in 10x10 chunks.
Band 4 (1700/2100MHz): Verizon has solid amounts of these bands that it deploys in larger, 20x20MHz blocks in many markets.
Band 5 (850MHz): it is a band that Verizon is still using for 2G/3G services in some markets, while for others, it is using this band for LTE. Verizon holds a lot of this spectrum nationwide and usually deploys it in 10x10 blocks.
Band 13*(700MHz): this is the backbone of the Verizon Wireless 4G LTE network. Verizon has this rolled out to most markets across the nation, but since it is usually deployed in rather small 10x10 chunks, it could become congested fairly easily.
Band 66 (1700/2100MHz): this is a superset of band 4 (meaning that it has all the frequencies of band 4, plus a few additional blocks). It is usually deployed in small chunks and it not available everywhere.
.......
I have T-mobile & the 6T I'm using has the bands the 7 is without. I'm not sacrificing that to hope it works.
OP stated that the 7 Pro is for North America, & someone thought they may break & release the 7, but there has been no news on that.
My suggestion, just as I did... Don't bother. I won't sacrifice important frequencies for a few more specs. Not worth it.

For TMo, it's only missing 66 and 71. Sure it'd be nice to have these, but the iPhone 7 or prior don't have these, and the iPhone X doesn't even have 71 (but finally got 66) Heck, the Xs was the first iPhone to have 71.
Although it's region specific, mean where you live can have a dramatic impact, most of the US will be fine without 66 and 77 on TMobile.

I think it just depends where you are. I have a friend who before he upgraded his phone had an S6 or 7 & I had my 6T. When we both traveled for work, I'd be getting service with T-mobile and he wouldn't.
Aside from testing it, or maybe checking the below where you live, it's a guess.

Me personally, my 6T is still going strong, & the wife is happy with her S10 (since I couldn't get her the OnePlus 7) It has all the bands my 6T has, & she still uses the 3.5 jack, so it was a win win. And for the $565 I spent, she was happy.

I definitely wouldn't upgrade to a 7 if you have a 6T- it's such a minor upgrade. But yes, the bands completely depend where you live.

One plus 7 supports all bands in US like Verizon and AT&T
Don't worry it will connect

The op7 (non pro) DOES have band 13. not sure why you would think otherwise.

Sorry, that's right. It does have 13.
I guess if someone wants to try with Verizon, give it a shot. Just make sure you buy it from a place with easy returns.
Or wait and see if someone already has, then you won't have to be the Guinea pig.
For T-mobile, my 6T has what the 7 is missing band wise.

Anyone give it a try?
Wanting to do the same, upgrade from 5t to non pro 7 and really would love to be back on a Verizon mvno.
It seems to have all major bands, just not 66. Anyone get one working?
Any report back from OP? Are you the guinea pig for us?

Honestly, $469.99 (Red color) plus ~$13 for insurance for the 7 non-pro from GearBest doesn't sound bad (no taxes and free shipping to boot). I may buy it pretty soon and give it a shot on verizon, especially cuz my iPhone XR annoys the hell out of me. I bought the 6 non-T a little while back and almost immediately returned it because my family switched to Verizon the week I bought it. They were very good about the return, so I'm not too worried. Only monies lost was the cost of insurance. Like other replies, I have definitely seen that it does support band 13, so I don't see why it wouldn't work. Only 4G band it looks like it doesn't support is 66, which I hear is not used too much. I'll let ya know if I do try it.

This site is a godsend.
OnePlus 7 pro has all Verizon bands, oneplus 7 is only missing band 66. Which is why I also think it should work, but I would prefer to have proof before doing it myself
OnePlus 7 pro is so big, heavy, and I am not a huge fan of curved edges. I might wait to see if they actually do come out with 't' versions of both and see what they look like, and if they are marketed to the US
Odd we haven't seen many posts of people actually testing them in the US. It's also odd that Verizon appears to have more available bands than T-mobile. 71 is important for my area, so the 7 is a no go. Interested to see when someone tests it on Verizon.

What happens if you tell them that its a 6T and get them to add your imei to their database as a 6t instead of a 7?
