I see both the 8 and 8T are on sale... I'm running off of an original OnePlus 5 who's battery is nearly toast and I really need an upgrade. Really cannot stand the lack of a headphone jack and that damn port hole, but I am running out of time.
Would you guys get the 8 or 8T at this point?
9 or 9Pro are better choices now, especially there are sales on them too.

Dual sim.
Well that makes me sad. On the Black Friday sale, i looked at the OP website, it shows 'Single nano-SIM slot' for the 9, and 'Dual nano-SIM slot' for the 8T, so that's what I bought

I ordered one myself. Black front, White Rear, light chrome accents. I can't wait to try it out! The estimate claims it'll be here by or before August 5th which is next Wednesday.
Also just ordered one for my son. August 5th deliver. 16gb model. Wife and I both have 2013 Moto X devices we did from Moto Maker and we love them.

It does seem hard to justify such price differences. Higher taxes????
The 16 gig one will be $220 before taxes here in the US.
So for Sprint, it says prepaid. I am guessing buying from Motomaker, there is still no chance of activating on sprint postpaid. Does anyone know?
I know with the 1st gen Moto G, if you ordered it from Motorola it was the GSM version. You had to get the CDMA version from the retailers selling them (Boost, Verizon prepaid, etc). I guess that things could change for the 3rd gen.
Ordered 16gb black on black with champagne accent USA
All white 2/16 with the stupid chrome accent, which i will cover with something and hide under the case cutout, if i keep this phone. I prefer the entire back covered with cutouts only for camera and flash. No need for useless accents and dimples. Both 1/8 and 2/16 overpriced. $235.39 with tax.

I can't say that I've found too many other contract free, brand new, unlocked phones with similar specs for less than $179..

Overpriced? Compared to what exactly? The Moto G 3rd gen is probably one of the best values available today.
I am ditching my Note 4 for the 2015 G. This will be my first mid-range phone in years. Anxious to see how it handles.

If you're a gamer, you won't be able to take it.
If not, you will be fine.
ordered mine on launch day, 16/2 white front, navy back champagne accents. it shipped out yesterday night and will be here tuesday!
it's a in between device for me as i wait for the 2015 Moto X, but i'm curious as well to see how it handles. i game, but not a ton and can lay off for a couple months. i'm mostly concerned with daily tasks (web browsing, email, messaging, facebook) and jumping between those tasks.
it's going to be my first non-flagship device as well
I`m moved form Xperia Z3 compact to Moto G 3rd gen, just to test a little bit and maybe this will by my daily phone.
Got an Honor View 10 from John Lewis yesterday and was lucky I pulled the trigger yesterday because the price went up from £339 to £449 overnight. I haven't opened it but just wondering whether not having OIS is going to be a permanent thing and also is Bluetooth going to be updated to 5.0 if it isn't a hardware issue?
anyway Honor have answered me, Bluetooth is permanently on 4.2 as its a hardware issue. The OIS stuff they have forwarded to their R&D department.
same here, got it for 339£, have it unopened while I contemplate what to do next. johnlewis has an amazing 35 days return policy.
no eis update is a sure return for me
Who cares about eis... I make awesome videos just the same.
And they come out just fine.
I'm loving mine
Even put my s8+ in the desk drawer
It's like talking to parakeets
Squak Squak.. No eis Squak whaaa
Sooner or later it will be fixed
Go on spend 1000 sterling pounds dollars.
I'm laughing and making awesome videos

nolia what about yours one?
Ois so far has posed no problems for me, just have to remember that decent lighting is required for quick response of the camera, other then that the dual shooter is fantastic imo.
Can I ask the difference between Bluetooth 4.2 and 5.

bluetooth 5 allows you to connect 2 devices simultaneously e.g you can connect 2 bluetooth speakers and stream music to both of them. In 4.2 its one or the other, it will show there is 2 bluetooth headphones/speakers but you have to chose 1.

Please let me know if you decide to open yours, will do the same. I wish it comes with the EU plug it would work better for my ends.
p.s.
congrats on the deal, I was keeping an eye on amazon at £369.99 until it run out of stock.
Following day CPW had it on the website at £339.99 for 2 days, I was literally ordering it when the price went up to £449.99 I think it was.
Johnlewis luckily had it in stock at £339.99 and I pulled the trigger. I knew JL was going to amend the price and bam it did the following day, following CPW 's foodsteps eheheh.

yeah they follow each other haha. The note 8 dropped at CPW and bingo John had it at the same price. But anway, why so much emphasis on EU plug assuming u live here of course or u live in Spain lol
I will set mine next week when I go home, doubt would return it. I have read a lot of positive reviews and some neg but overall positives trounced the negatives.
I'm based in London but will likely move to Europe for work reasons within weeks
As the title say I'm probably buying the non pro version due to the huge price difference (140€), what do you guys think? Ah I'm coming from a OnePlus 6, yesterday unfortunately I've discovered that the type c is kind loose and now the cable slips away if I slightly move the device...
Thanks in advance for the help!
7t should be out in 2 months time. Might be worthwhile waiting for it.

Probably an inexpensive fix. Won't you need to get it fixed if you plan on selling the phone at some stage?
I'd get it repaired and wait for the 7t.
Might find the 7pro gets heavily discounted soon too.
I've got the 7pro and it is fantastic! The 90hz screen is unlike anything I've ever used on a smartphone. Not sure the 7/7t will have a 90hz display.

It depends on Amazon answer on that, sometimes they refund it if it's not available. Anyway I'll do as you advised, I'll wait for the T version hoping to not break the port :fingers-crossed:

NO!
Oneplus 7 is worth buying in China, because you spend 200€ less money (about 400€ for a new 8/256GB) and you keep Oneplus official warranty for 1 year.
Ok you lose just 1 year, but the price is the same as a Mi 9T Pro
Or if you are lucky enough (just as me), you could find in Amazon Warehouse Deals, an OP7 used in perfect condition, paying the same as a new one in China market, but with a perfect phone and Amazon warranty (and you can give it back if it is not good enough for you).
I found a French OP7: same as the others OP, but in France it is mandatory to include earphones into the package (usb-c earphones worth 20€ in Oneplus shopping page)
I ordered the OP7 with 256Gb/8GB Ram for 390€ at Gearbest during flashsale. Pretty good deal in my opinion ? I hope the delivery doesn't take too long...

I ordered my OnePlus 7 8/256 from Aliexpress for $440 so no, Amazon's current price of 600 euros is not a good deal.
For that kind of money you would get the 7 Pro on Aliexpress.
No, this device not worth such money!
I have it for 3 month already and no single custom rom, I would wait little bit for release of 7t pro and buy the 7 pro version.
Have you tried maybe the usb plugs from ali like quick connect..

I personally advise to purchase the OP7. It's my best best phone so far (dual speakers, same ufs3, same main camera...).
But... I've paid 381€ for the 8/256 chinese version in a much nicer red colour. There's no important difference between global and chinese versions (charger plug, instructions language...). You've even got 1 year official warranty!
Joan Tur (OP7)
Do you guys recommend buying the OnePlus 7 now? I can get a pre-owned 6GB with 10 months warranty with insurance remaining. Around 75% of that price I can get a 6T with a few months warranty remaining. Also I can't afford a 7T. Which phone do you guys recommend?
Tbh I wouldnt get either phone
Theres a lot more phones coming out this year with better specs

I very much don't recommend you to buy this phone at that price, you have sooooo many other option, Umdigi and other Chinese less known brands often are a problem when in comes to Customer services. Same when you need to flash ROMs on it or have a problem with it, no devs are buying this.
Plus if you have trust issues with Chinese products, this one won't fit your expectations.
Please don't buy that. Just for the price point, that would be a loss for you.
Okay what do you suggest with about the same size screen and the same horsepower that chipset is slightly faster than a 730 g I looked also it needs to have bands for for Sprint so if you know of anything with a screen size that size and slightly more horsepower than a 7:30 g and 6 GB of RAM in that price range let me know thank you

The Xiaomi Mi 10 Lite seems to fit your expectations. Idk the price where you live, but for me it's close to 250$ (270€). It might be because of a sale, but if you want those specs, wait a bit longer till you have more budget or till the price is down to 250$.
Have a good day
The Umidigi S5 pro is a good phone. I have used it for over 8 months and I love it. Very fast and have had no hiccups. If you are overly concerned about it being a Chinese product (Which most of the phones are manufactured in Asian countries) then throw a custom rom on it. One that I know works for it is Havoc OS which is perfect because it is classified as a gaming phone.

Hi all , I'm thinking of trading my S10 to a OnePlus 8t , the battery on my Exynos S10 is dead after about 4 hours sot so I'm looking at the 8t , what are your opinions ?
The 2 are not even comparable. You are trying to compare a 2-generation old device with a 1-generation old device. The 8T will blow the S10 out of the water (esp a Exynos variant).

Thanks for your reply , tbh the 8t being 6 months old already did put a question mark against getting it but looking at the specs it does seem a better phone , not bothered about SD card slot and headphone jack , the price of the 8t on the OP site is a really great price for what is on offer compared to the OP9 .

Not sure which variant you're looking at but make sure it's not the one manufactured and sold in India. For whatever reason that one is junk. Just go to the OnePlus Community site and read the unending complaints from most people in India. I personally use the 8T as my only phone and I think it's great...but I have the Global/NA variant. So...YMMV.
