I can upgrade my phone in like a month or so and TMobile just got the 7pro McLaren edition I was thinking of upgrading and wanted to ask if I should pull the trigger or not.
Wait for 8 pro
If you can't wait for the 8pro around June 2020, then 7pro for now...
8 Pro would be a downgrade for me, going from all screen to punch hole for camera

If the leaks are true I'm not looking forward to the hole punch display. But then it's do I deal with it for the 865 or just go with a one gen old processor with a bezeless design.

I could wait but I'm not sure if TMobile is going to axe it due to lack of sales like they did with the 7 pro.

I'm not American but from what I've read they only did that due to the Oneplus 7T because the 7T pro isn't for sale there

They have a deal with OnePlus to sell them in the states originally it was because of lack of sales of the 7 Pro but I think it was because they wound up carrying the McLaren edition.
Nooo, wait for 10 pro.. :laugh: seriously what are you guys saying to him, wait for 8 pro wait for that, i mean he wanna change device now, and you are telling him to wait anyway mr OP in my opinion 6t is a great for now, but if you really wanna update device, then go for 7pro (not for 7t pro or Any McLaren) enjoy the whatever current device you have, and change it to Upgrade when you feel bored.. peace
I like curved screens, if they produce an 8 Pro 6.7" curved with 865 processor, 120hz, battery life and finally gives us AOD and proper Samsung features in the OS like edge lighting as well, it would be worth it, because you can botloader unlock and root as well.
Otherwise, will just be another Apple trick on users, minimal upgrade for a lot more money. Also, they need to get their camera game elevated up higher for $900 phones.
McLaren edition? Unless you can only find the 7T pro McLaren edition, then I'd just go with a vanilla 7 Pro(if that's what OnePlus is selling in your country) or vanilla 7T pro from their website. The biggest difference at least state-side is that the McLaren edition through T-Mobile has their implementation of 5G on it and depending on the variant of 7 Pro, it has more RAM. you won't get a massive performance boost coming from the 6T, but that's the phone my wife has, and the screen is a night and day difference( I just came from a 3T, so I can't really comment too much on performance, but her phone performs just fine compared to the 7 Pro) but it's worth it for the notchless display and that buttery smooth 90 Hz 1440p+ screen alone!
Lol everyone saying to wait... Might as well wait til we're on Mars, then you can get the Mars edition...
In all seriousness, upgrade. I picked up my 7t pro mclaren edition from T-Mobile couple of days ago and don't regret it one bit. The phone is amazing. I upgraded from the galaxy s8 plus. T mobile is running an up to $300 off trade in promotion.

This close I would probably wait for the 8 Pro or whatever it will be called.
I upgraded from the 6T to the 7 Pro as soon as it came out.
The 8 will have the SD865 and like the 7T McLaren, the x55 modem.
Presumably the 8 will be unlocked for all carriers. I'd wait.
Upgrade to the 7pro Bro and you wont regret it. After seeing that hole punch the Oneplus 8 lost all appeal for me. The design of the 7pro will stand the test of time with its "True" screen to body ratio. I still would get the 7pro over the McLaren because of the lack of any significant changes that would justify spending an extra $250-300 and the 7pro already has an established development platform.

TMobile dropped the 7 pro in favor of the 7T pro McLaren edition. I'm really not a fan of the hole punch display so I think I'll just grab the McLaren edition when I get the chance

Same lol............ I.... can't.... Stand.... Punch holes, tear drops, notches, and aggressively large bezel dimensions. It's why I didn't get pixel 3 & 4 XL's or any recent Samsungs. But to be fair the 4 XL only had the bulky bezel up top. But still it was one bulky bezel too many for my investment. Pleasing design is a pretty big deal for me ?.
Get the 7T Pro McLaren .

I mean, there's nothing wrong with it. you'll get the added bonus of T-Mobile's implementation of 5g at least. I just know that they had a massive sale this month and I was able to get the original oneplus 7 pro through OnePlus for 550(8 GB, 256 GB model). I think they're practically sold out at this point though.
There's also that macro motor in the camera as well, that I would love to have, but hey, I'll save the money instead. it's also a personal choice too as I don't have any attachment toward the McLaren brand, so I don't really want the branding on my phone.
tl;dr. if you want a good solid upgrade, you won't go wrong with the 7t pro McLaren, it's just if you can find it, the 7 pro is likely cheaper, and about the same, minus the branding, the macro motor, and the RAM(depending on the model)
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.
I have the option to trade my 7 pro for a 8.....im debating if I should go for it... I am turning to my faithful xda community for guidance lol
It just depends if your going to be trading with T-Mobile don't do it. Cause without the oneplus 8 being unlocked it sucks. My advice if ur going to to that. Make sure u get an unlocked oneplus 8. Or just wait for the 8t next month or end of this month
To me op8 is not a very big upgrade, plus I like my pop up camera. I had s8 previously and hated being stuck to 18w qualcomm 2.0 for years, in all aspects op7 pro was a lot better. I'm waiting for something like 60watt charging, 5g to be available like 4g is, 90hz and 120hz is cool but as I'm typing I only see 1 frame, and ufs3.0 is a lot faster than all phones before. Never been frozen or waiting on an app to load, everything is faster one op7 and they slightly upgraded to 3.1. Samsung stepped up their charging game but got max spec op7 for 750 vs almost same spec s10 plus for 1200
As far as I know, One Plus 8T will be announced on October 14th. Now, a prematurely-published Amazon listing has further confirmed some of the OnePlus 8T's specs.
I have both 7 pro and 8 pro. Both phones running Resurrection Remix rom. The 8 pro has 5g, faster wireless charging and the first phone to have a 1billion color display. It all depends on what you want
Hi,
I'm currently looking for upgrade from OnePlus 6 to OnePlus 10 Pro.
The specs looks good enough for me but still in a dilemma on the roadmap of Oxygen OS in future.
I'm a hardcore fan of OOS up until the color OS from OPPO merger. Little confused now and planning to lean towards Pixel 6 Pro as well but that doesn't have charging speed and doesn't come with charging brink on the box etc. Only upside of Pixel 6 Pro would be stock Android.
What you think about the upgrade? Or do you have some other phone on mind which might fill up the void of OOS?
I've the S22 Ultra sky blue 512GB and getting the Pixel 7 Pro snow 512...
I traded in my work phone (iPhone XR) for the Pixel 7 Pro. My personal device is a Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra, so it will be fun to compare it to the Pixel 7 side by side. Ultimately I think I'll sell the one I like less.
that's my plan too.. gotta admit the S22 Ultra is a true beast...
I have a Pixel 4xl. I like it but the battery is terrible. I'm looking forward to Pixel 7 Pro.
S22+, love the feel but man that battery. Hope P7P doesn't let me down.
Iphone 14 Pro Max. Had it for a total of 23 days before I gave up on it. I traded-in my Pixel 6 Pro for it, so I'm using my backup Pixel 3 until the Pixel 7 arrives.
I may upgrade to P7P Depending on my OnePlus 10 Pro trade in at Best Buy or T-Mobile.
I'm coming from a Pixel 4 XL that I've had since the day it was released. Since this month is it's last update, I felt compelled to finally upgrade, and I'm so excited!
s21 ultra

Same here... News to me about the updates. Glad I took the plunge but I'll still keep my 4XL for the free Google Photos uploads
OnePlus 9. Hoping that I like the 7 Pro enough to make it my primary but either way, with the trade in deals Best Buy was offering, my 12 Pro Max trade in basically ended up with them putting $30 in my pocket so I couldn't resist.
My main phone was a 21 Ultra but I tried a 22 Ultra for a week and hated it. Now I've had a 6 Pro for two weeks. I like the 6 Pro so much I ordered a 7 Pro for myself and the wife will get the 6P that has been working great.

You have 2 weeks to decide. Good luck!
Oneplus 10 pro. Tired of all the bugs.
OP 9 Pro, because it's not a good phone. I think the last good OP was the 7. And the OPO still to date has the best back of the phone.
Unlocked Pixel 7 Pro 512GB - soon to be gone: Unlocked Pixel 6 Pro 512GB - Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra Wi-Fi 512GB - Unlocked Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ 512GB (bye, bye Samsung phones!) - Unlocked Google Pixel 1 128GB - Unlocked HTC 10 - Verizon LG G3 - Verizon LG G Pad 8.3 LTE (semi-broken, now TV for the cat) (finally died now) - Sprint Galaxy S3 - Sprint Epic 4G Plus (Galaxy S2) - HTC Droid Eris
I actually had a Sony Xperia XA2 Ultra in there somewhere, too, but I'm not counting that one.

What is wrong with OPP 9 pro?
And what do you mean by that "best back of the phone"?
