Oneplus 8t on Amazon - OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers

So, it looks like Oneplus has a full store on US amazon now. This may not be new news but I just happened to come across it while considering buying the 8T.
Considering ordering it through amazon, as apposed to direct from oneplus ($100 cheaper) but I did notice in the specs it shows the carrier as t-mobile but the phone unlocked.
Anyone know for sure if this is the same unlocked model you would get if you ordered from Oneplus or is this the model you would get if you ordered from T-mobile.
Mostly asking because I had the 6t from tmobile but hated the update cycles and somewhat limited root/bootloader options.
Thanks

Never mind, I found the answer but will leave this post in case anyone has the same question.
Answer: Amazon sold Model number is KB2005
OnePlus 8T model numbers
- KB2000 (Chinese variant)
- KB2001 (Indian variant)
- KB2003 (European variant)
- KB2005 (International variant)
- KB2007 (T-Mobile variant)

Does it also come with a free $100 water bottle?

You purchased a US version with the warranty and they sent you the Indian version with no warranty?

Exactly. And I saw a question and answer posted on the listing that it happened to someone else as well. Needless to say it's going back.

I ended up ordering it and did get the kb2005 international version.
Did you order from Amazon directly or was it a seller on amazon?
With things like this I try to make sure Im getting it sold by and shipped by Amazon.

Just found it. It also does not list this as Global GSM which is confusing, since The specs list them both as XT1540

I have ordered the 64 GB version. They don't seem to offer the 256 GB version yet. Amazon.de

I bought the 256 GB model at the Oneplus website as the model is not available at Amazon.de.
I have two suggestions:
- If you think about buying additional accessories search for a voucher before. It can easiliy be found - 20 €. I also ordered a flip cover and got it almost for free with this voucher.
- The ordering process offered me express delivery for free. In Germany this means DHL Express. Be careful! DHL Express is not DHL. When not at home they do not behave like the normal DHL service. They do not deposit the parcel at the next local DHL station. They return it to their own distribution center. In my case 120 km away. At the end I was a bit lucky as I could manage that the parcel was handed out to a neighbour.

Thanks I already got one...
What a gr8 device!

Just ordered The V50 dual screen from ee uk.

Antonie knows what model is it? Friday Will have it. Anny issues with ee UK? I live in another country and Will use it with Orange. Paid full unlocked without plan. Almost 1100£ pounds... Does anyone know if it is korean or european version?
How did you buy the ee version I thought it was only sold on contract?
It's the single sim version. No Carrie blot, only my EE app which can be uninstalled.
Should come with the dual screen as my version did.
I'm also looking to buy it outright, but haven't found a way yet.

I live in Romania but I have a friend with business contract with EE. He told me that can help buy it and he keeps the plan. He told me 1100 pounds ... What do you think about this deal?

If you are buying it from EE then it will be the European model with the Dual Screen. £1100 is a lot of money. The Korean version is £613 and I'm tempted by this but it won't be covered by LG UK warranty whereas your V50 from EE is covered within Europe.
I agree it's too much money. I want to keep it but only SIM only. I asked EE if I could buy it they said I have to buy out my contract.
I'll try again as if I return the phone me they will lose money on selling as a refurbished handset.
Hello, guys! What a thriller movie with this v50!
I ditched the ee uk version and bought from ebay - switzerland seller - the korean version. After payment i noticed the seller is from Hong Kong. I will inspect the phone carefully, and if is legit I'll keep it. I was promised 1 year warranty and invoce - it was paid from my company bank account. Waiting for it 2-8 days seems like living in inferno. Paid 840 USD - 747 euro to seller, free shipping to romania. I'll pay 19% VAT customs taxes so a total of 888 euro. No dual screen but thats fine...
The european version has bootloader unlockable, do you know if the korean version has also?
I was looking also on ee uk website and the real price would be from 1700£ pounds in 2 years with best plan, but is sim locked until you pay full contract. Impossible the price. Yes, I admit you have the plan, but here in Romania with 15 euro a month I have a better plan from Orange. 65 GB in 4G+, 5 GB in roaming, speeds are 130mbps, unlimited sms, calls, unlimited youtube, Facebook, instagram etc
I'm glad,
You can find the dual screen on eBay so when your ready to purchase just look there.
Hope you like the phone. I certainly do, still debating in keeping it but it's a great phone. Really like the dual screen as that's one of the reason why I like this so much.

For me, the LG V50 5G is the best phone of 2019 with the best cameras/camera software, nice design on the back/less on the front, best audio quality (v50 standard DAC destroys by a mile other phones dacs, QUAD - DAC is light years ahead, best AMP for headphones, 50 Ohm impedance trick, DTSX, LDAC), best fit for my Tidal Master account, best fit for my sony wh1000m3 headphones, snapdragon 855 mobile platform with 5G modem (IMO sd855 destroys a12 bionic or kirin or exynos), USB C 3.1 with 5gbps speed and HDMI output with power delivery, otg support and probably better display than samsungs s10 line. Indeed I miss G7-G8 form factor, but the v50 is in another league of quality. These are just a few of my reasons... You should KEEP IT!
It might be possible to not pay taxes as the phone was shipped from Manchester - UK. Just tracked it via DHL Express ... I called them and they told me I dont need to pay taxes as it is fro the EU. Now it just remains to verify it is original LG V50! Fingers crossed! :victory:

US base models are 128GB. Exynos seems to be 256GB...?

if you go to Samsung US the base model is 128gb
https://www.samsung.com/us/smartphones/galaxy-note20-5g/buy/
BUT:
If you go to Samsung UK the base model is 256gb
https://www.samsung.com/uk/smartphones/galaxy-note20/buy/
Australia: 256gb
https://www.samsung.com/au/smartphones/galaxy-note20/buy/
So the disadvantage of Exynos is offset by double the storage. I believe they are also dual sim
Yup! I think this was done to appease those buying the slightly inferior Exynos version in order to keep the purchase price the same!

Well, US pays less by around 20%, all considering, than UK

I guess what I meant was, to keep the purchase price high (for us in the UK that always seem to get ripped off)

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"

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...
