Deciding between the Xiaomi Mi 8 (6gb/64gb) for $480, OnePlus 6 (6gb/64gb) for $520, OnePlus 6 (8gb/128gb) for $580 and OnePlus 6T (6gb/128gb) for $720.
Prices are CAD.
I'm leaning towards the OnePlus 6 (64gb) for having the AUX and nice XDA community. Would choose the 6T for better battery but Im not sure if the price justifies it. I like the Mi 8 for the price but don't really know much about this phone.
As stated i want to trade my Note 9 for a Oneplus 7pro! Anyone tired of their oneplus 7 pro or don't like interested?
Hell No!
Not me, in fact I sold my N9 for a S10+, and then sold the S10+ for my badboy OnePlus 7 Pro!
Wait, so you want me to trade my new phone for a phone over a year older with less specifications from a manufacturer who takes the longest to release updates rather than a manufacturer who is among the first?
Hmmmm....Let me think....
Its a bait. They're going to send you a sticky note with "Note 9" written on it and a picture of an unlocked padlock.
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 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 all.
I'm currently looking for a new phone, and currently have 3 choices.
Honor Magic 5 Pro 512GB: USD 930 (Honor Official)
Samsung S22 Ultra 256GB: About USD 600 (Like New Second-hand with no warranty)
OnePlus 11 256GB: About USD 812 (OnePlus Official)
Which one is a better value for money? Appreciate all comments, thanks.

I would never buy a used phone. No way to know how it was used by the previous owner.
S22U would have been my pick had it been new.
I don't have too much idea about the software on Honor device. But it is a very good phone based on reviews.
In this case, I'll go with OnePlus 11 just to be on the safe side.
Have you considered other phones like Vivo X90 and iQOO 11?
Ah, the vivo and iqoo aren't available in the region, but the s22u is "Certified" by the marketplace app.

Those certifications mean nothing. Avoid a used phone if you can.
How about a brand new for USD740? Is it worth it? I'm concerned about the soc mainly...

Use the reply button so I get notified.
The S22U tends to run slightly warmer. The battery life is average at best. On an average, I get about 5 hours SOT (mostly on WiFi) and a standby time of about 15 hours when the battery is at 15%. They have sorted this out on the S23U, so if you can stretch your budget, you should consider getting that instead.
Everything else is excellent, even if the software has a few bugs here and there.
Between the S22U and the OnePlus 11, I'll go with the S22U only because of it's cameras (S-Pen is a bonus). This is not to say that the OnePlus 11 cameras are bad. They are very good too. But the S22U is better.
OnePlus 11 has the better SOC and lighter software on its side. So it will give you a snappier performance and better battery life.

Brand new is better. If you read through the forums here, you'll read about people who bought used phones that were essentially paper weights because they were either stolen, or bought then resold without being paid off, and Samsung locked them.
