Biggest con going - OnePlus 7 Guides, News, & Discussion

So, oneplus are now trying to get people to buy the Oneplus 7 series by trading in your old phone.
Now before I bought my OP7 I looked at the trade in value and was offered £120 for my OP6 (way undervalued as sold it for 270)
So today they are advertising again but with an extra £40 saving.
Have a look at the screenshot.
Includes the £40 so that's £80 for a OP6.
Shocking

Amazon has the LG G3 for just $0.01 on a 2yr Contract!

Just wanted to notify everyone that the LG G3 on Amazon with a 2yr contract from AT&T is just $0.01 compared to $199.99 on AT&T's website.
Metallic Black Version: http://www.amazon.com/LG-G3-Metallic-Black-32GB/dp/B00L9OVC94/ref=sr_1_3?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1415732119&sr=1-3
Silk White Version:http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00L9OVUHI/ref=amb_link_424996242_1?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=hero-quick-promo&pf_rd_r=0W67YGFRQT5GPD02B57Q&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_p=1924776362&pf_rd_i=B00L9OVC94
FYI: This is through Amazon for the $0.01 device and through AT&T for the phone service. This is the on-contract price, not off-contract.
Dang - that is a great price! I thought $99 was a great price when I bought it, but it is totally worth the $0.01 price. For most people, that puts the total expense right in line with the Oneplus One. However, I think the G3 is superior to the OPO in everyway except battery life. That issue is easily solved by getting a 2nd battery for the G3 (the OPO doesn't have a removable battery).
On AT&T for example, you get a $15/mo discount for bringing your own phone. That's $360 over a two year period of time. If you only pay $0.01 for the phone, then your "cost" is $360.01. The OPO is about $380 shipped, which is actually more than the G3 total cost after two years.

Actually you don't bring your own phone. Amazon sends it to you but AT&T is the one still providing the device, it's just Amazon's pricing.

I was simply comparing the overall cost of the G3 vs the OPO. You obviously won't get the BYOD discount with the on-contract G3........
Oh, I see what you meant. Never mind then.

I think you can get your $50 back because of their low price guarantee.
I just pulled the trigger on this deal, to hard to pass up. I'm coming from a Galaxy Note 2 that still runs great was going to update to the note 4 until I saw that they don't think they're going to be able to root it or unlock it and I can't have that
Just an FYI amazon will make you switch to a currently offered plan. You can't keep old plans. If you already have mobile share or an up to date plan then this is a great deal.
However, the G3 will also be free on contract (some places a penny, some a dollar, but you get the point) at Best Buy, Costco, RadioShack, and probably just about every other reseller on black friday, most of the big guys like best buy will probably have it all weekend.
So if you want to do anything special with a plan you can get it then too, and they can keep you on outdated plans.

Actually is a$25/mo discount on 15gb plan. It's cheaper to get on NEXT pricing vs contract because of the $40 upgrade fee. $25 x 24mo is $600 +.99c contract +$40upgrade fee = 641.
Next is the $580 over installments plus tax

Is the galaxy note 5 still a worthy buy?

I did google this. The only info I found was before the note 7 was released which I was originally gonna go with the note 7 sadly it had to blow up. Lol but I'm just curious if I buy a note 5 now would it be sufficient enough until the note 8 releases?
It'd really depend on the price you find. It's a good phone, but nothing I've been overly in love with. I'm actually looking to ditch this and Verizon to grab the OnePlus 3T. Not totally decided yet
On swappa I can buy one between 300 and 350 in mint cond.

What size? I have mine on a payment plan on Verizon at $792. It's the 64gb version. As long as it's a good bit under retail it might be worth it. Biggest thing is about to you find the drawbacks worth it?

The problem is the battery. It was always underpowered to begin with then add to that Marshmallow and now the batteries are over 1 year old. You may find yourself needing to replace the battery.
The S8 and S8+ will be released soon. I bet Verizon is going to have good deals at launch. I would not plunk down even $300 for this phone now since the battery is likely take a hit from use and it is not easily replaced. But then again, you may be able to trade in the Note 5 for at least $300 toward the S8/S8+ so maybe it would be fine.

One Plus Trade in Program?

They are offering $200 for my Samsung S8+ with a screen issue(dead pixels in the corner from a margarita glass). I even checked water damage and it still said $200. Pristine no issues was $200. Are they reliable on their offers? Will they send the phone back if I dont agree to the trade in value? They pay in a reasonable amount of time?
https://www.oneplus.com/trade-in
Going to check the Pro out in person Friday but Im 99% sold
I'd like to hear more as well.. They are offering me a nice amount on my S10+ but its not paid off... nowhere in their fine print does it say that it needs to be paid off and not in the questions they ask when appraising it either. I even called in to their customer service to verify and they said it wasn't required. I can always sell the phone on ebay (since swappa won't let me sell if its not paid off) but this would be way more convenient and cost me less.
I just traded my 6T in on a 7 pro. I opt for the voucher for my phone. They are sending me a trade in kit to send my 6t back to them and they will look at the phone. I will let you guys know what happens with everything. Because they've not ask me what color or ram or mg. I would like. So like I said I'll let you know.
I'll get at least $100 more off of swappa after seller fees for my op6 then the $270 they will give me on a trade in. Not worth trading it in for me.
I think I will try the trade in program.
I would like to hold on to my old phone for a few days, while I am setting up the OnePlus 7 pro what I read that is not going to be an issue.
They are offering $200 for my 5T, but my screen is cracked, anyone knows how that affects the trade-in?

Any issues with the 6T? Curious if they stick to the online offer.
When the trade in kit comes in can you provide a phone # or email for the trade in department? I can only get a general chat person on the line who isn't familiar with the trade in process

I can't imagine a pristine phone gets the same value as a cracked/broken screen but thats what their website says. If true they must have an amazing source to fix phones cheaply. Even if they knock my $200 offer down to $150, I'll still do it. If they knock $100 off I want my phone back

I've not had any issues with the 6T. Just thought I would check out the trade in offer they had I answered a few questions they offered me XX amount for the 6T. So what the heck I'll do it. Have you not went to the oneplus web site and checked the trade in offer out? But yes if they give me a phone # or a email I will let you know

They offered me $350+$50 bonus for my Pixel 3 XL, I said no thanks! It took me 7 hours to sell it for a cool $750! But like new 4 months old.
You gotta at least try selling it privately and leave the trade-in program for last way out.

same lol... if anyone does a trade, it's like trading in their car, they're doing it cause they can afford and or the ease of everything.....
but if we want to save funds yeah, sell it for double the offer really on the market... my oneplus 6 for 160 trade in. pretty sure it would sell for £300 instantly in the uk...
T-Mobile is supposed to launch a deal tomorrow that tops the trade-in offer from OnePlus. For those of you considering the OnePlus 7 Pro, it might be worth the wait.
S8+ is selling for $200-300 in good shape thru other sites. Mine has a screen issue so their $200 offer is really good

I'm going to use Swappa to sell my mint 6T.
I have a cracked Note 8 with burn-in in one spot, and loss of finger recognition at the top of the screen (works with the s-pen). They are offering $120. Since a new screen would cost me $239, Im thinking about it. Phone is basically useless now once the top of the screen started acting up.
Htc 10 = 10$ !!
Anyone else with trade in experience?
$280 each for 6 and 6t, 140 for Pixel XL
I'm gonna trade in my tmobs 6t. It much easier and not paid off, so not worth it for another $150 or so. Let you guys know how it goes.

Are you collecting bill credits for a trade in phone when you bought your 6t?

I submitted my phone's IMEI, but OP hasn't sent the kit for trade in... it's been 3 days. I'll update you once my device is evaluated. Plan on trading my phone for $600, then I'm going for 8GB + extended warranty.
Edit: If you sell on Ebay or Swappa make sure you take fees into account.

Buy used OnePlus 8T or wait for OnePlus 9 / 9 Pro?

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

General Pixel 7 Orders Open

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"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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...
