I ordered mine from Oneplus.net in March. Tracker said it was shipped from Germany. No issues with the device.
You order it from USA ?

Why was your device shipped from germany, and as I ordered it in Germany it was shipped from Great Britain? Anyway at the Op: Order it on the Website, me and 3 other people ordered one about 3 month ago and we have no issues.

You are right. The first entry in the GLS is INBOUND TO LOCATION (GERMANY). So it was from the UK. Sorry for this
I order it from the website and have issue
The best place to buy the phone is definitely from the official OnePlus Site. That is where I got my phone (United States, shipped from California to Washington) and I have not had any issues at all. Most of the One's from the other sites are probably more likely to have those issues than the phones bought on the official site.

I bought it from Onepluse USA official site
and have all this issues
I don`t know is that bad luck so I can try again or what
Any body else have suggestion
I don't know why you think purchasing the phone elsewhere will get you a different result. You're still going to get the same device, from the same manufacturer, with the same chance of faults occurring.

Yeah, but my point is that no matter where you purchase the phone you're taking the same gamble. Perhaps if you scoured eBay for listings that specifically say they don't have these issues, but then you're buying second-hand and missing out on a warranty. Other than that there's really no point in buying anywhere other than from OnePlus directly.

A bit off topic, but display was an issue with my HTC M7 as well (3 manufacturers of display). Furthermore with my Sony Z3C it was the issue with speakers (2 manufacturers). Just saying that Oneplus is not alone in this "gambling".

Excellent point. There's no such thing as the perfect, bug-free phone (in terms of entire batches). I got lucky, both of the Ones that I bought are fine, neither has any of the issues that I've seen reported.

Is there a goto place to buy in the UK with a UK warranty?
Had a nightmare with oneplus and wont' buy chinese again until they have some local presence.
The Honor 8 in blue looks great, so hence the question of where to buy.

Thanks
There's cheaper but i picked mine up from Amazon just for the peace of mind of their returns.

Your best bet is to purchase the Honor 8 UK edition thru vmall.eu (https://www.vmall.eu/uk/honor-8-blue-292297/) which includes a warranty (see specifics here: https://www.vmall.eu/uk/warranty-policy/). If you have any other questions regarding the device and warranty policy, please let us know. (NS)
I got mine from a three store in the uk. No other stores stock these.

i phoned them and told them I don't need a sim card thanks.. already got one, so got just the phone for 339. If you get told they can't sell them on the phone and online only, then hand up and call back until you get someone who knows what they are doing. took me three attempts. must be why they are called three!
Buying them Honor devices from Three UK you get the same warranty as if bought online via Vmall.UK.So trust assured you good on all accounts and Vmall will deal with you directly once bought.
Got my partners from three today a d on the phone there is like a customer service portal, typed in the imei and she has a two year warranty
Sent from my Nexus 6P using XDA-Developers mobile app
I found only three mobile selling it for me and like mentioned i phoned up three and told them i had no need for a sim card and just wanted the phone to which the lady was more then helpful, mine arrives tomorrow as i ordered Sunday ...

Between 3 and Expansys, Amazon are by far the best option for me, but they only cover the device for one year and then you’d have to go to honour or others?
Just not clear and although it looks a lovely device, I will steer clear until it becomes clear who i deal with if anything should go wrong.
Thanks for all the input, much appreciated.

Its SIM only and unlocked. Use what ever carrier you want and get the phone with generic firmware for £339
The phone from three is unlocked so you can put what ever sim in you want.

I think 1 year is good enough already... usually after 1 year, manufacturer will stop/slow down upgrade, at that time, you have to rely on developers from XDA or places alike.

i have to agree here, most places will only offer a year anyway as after this they normally have slowed down production and are at that point concentrating on another product.
if its that much of a problem about aftercare i would personally find good insurance for your phone after the year is up @OP
i have insurance on all my electronics so i never pay a thing for breakdowns etc.

I tried to find a Vivo nex in a shop in Belgium, then expanded to Europe... but no luck. Then I saw Ali express mentioned some shops doing pre-order. I contacted a few - I'm always afraid of fake devices when buying from China - and one shop cached my trust. Si that's where I ordered my nex. It should be deliverd in about 30 days. I'm so excited about this device. I will report my experiences once I got it.

Wow ,it is the moment I found Vivo showing its AD(LOGO) on the World Cup 2018 field that I realized Vivo NEX might be for first time Chinese Android phone actually became a shining superstar in the world.
Finally Chinsese phone manufacturing companiers Vivo and Oppo got Snapdragon flagship chipsets. OMG!!!!

I will test my new device for sure. Especially those things that bother me most: is that fingerprint on display efficient? What about apps that use fingerprint for confirmation or login (bank apps, safeincloud,...) Will those still work? Will the device 'feel' the difference between tapping the screen and adding your fingerprint? Will apps need to be updated for this device? What's about that screen vibration that replaces the speaker? And will it still play music without earpeaces? Then what about Google play; will I be able to install my favorite apps and will they run as they do on my other devices? In a way, it's all part of the excitement of expecting an new device...
I prerecorded mine here:
aliexpress.com/item/VIVO-NEX-Screen-Fingerprint-Cellphone-8GB-128GB-Snapdragon-845-Smartphone-Octa-Core-6-59-OLED-Full/32884745578.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.20b14c4dFanTlv

I'm still trying to decide which phone to buy this year, so many have come out or are due to come out. This phone looks interesting, I like the size of the screen, the battery capacity, the rear camera specs and the fact it's an international phone that includes LTE bands for North America. I hope to see some reviews once new owners receive their phones and have a chance to use them. Thanks in advance.

Yeah for me if will be the Vivo Nex or Oppo Find X. Tuesday we know more about Oppo Find X

High-end phone, big flat AMOLED screen, black color, almost no bezels, no ugly notch, dual camera and et cetera.
Launch day today - has anyone found the pre order link for UK / Europe?
Their customer service opens shortly so I'll enquire there too and post here if/when I find it...
Edit: can anyone find any other EU pre order links?
https://m.alza.co.uk/asus-zenfone-7-pro-black-d6122969.htm?o=1
They have the white one available too
These aren't a UK based company though so may hold off and await one
So I emailed asus about this:
"Hi there,
It has been stated that the zenfone 7 pro is due to launch in Europe today (01/09/2020).
Could you tell me where I can find a link to buy the phone in the UK?"
I got this in response:
"Dear {redacted},
Thank you for contacting ASUS Support and for your interest in our products.
Unfortunately, ASUS and ROG mobile handsets are currently no longer on sale in the UK.

If you need any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us. "

I reckon I may order it from the Alza website, exciting times!
Just perhaps holding off just in case a better price/sooner available option becomes available... Though can't seem to find any at all!
I'm interested in this phone too and only link I have found is the Alza one. I'm tempted by it but currently on a OnePlus, I'm not sure how big the development community will be in comparison. I'd also like to see if anyone comes up with a decent GCam port first.
Keep us updated on whether you decide to order from Alza and your experience with that site.

I'm in communications with Arnova8G2, a developer of Gcam and they said "I have the zenfone 6 and it is very good with gcam, zenfone 7 pro already works with gcam 7.3 and more" - so based of this response I'm definitely gonna pre order the Zenfone 7 Pro! I think gcam on it will make it the perfect phone!
As for development, I've reached out on zenfone 6 thread and HavocOS. Which is inspiring that there's some good roms available for that device at least. Though worst case scenario, I'd be happy with rooted stock and gravitybox - which is my current setup for Xperia 1 ii.
Alza says "expected 14th September" but that would also mean shipping from Prague to UK for me. Could be earlier therefore, or later. I'll be preordering soon I reckon.

Hmm unsure. So far I've only seen Alza sell it, nowhere else!
I've ended up just buying a mint condition oneplus 7t pro on ebay for around the same price of this phone. It does what I want and was easy to find.

To be fair, that's a very good shout.
I had the oneplus 7 Pro prior to my current xperia 1 ii. It was a great phone, active rom development, loved the pop up camera and the gcam port made it a pleasure to take snaps with. My only slight gripe with it was the curved screen, I just wasn't a fan of it, but all in all a great phone.
As much as I love the Xperia there's just something not quite right for me about it. I know it's camera possibilities is one of its main features, but I miss the gcam and apparently (after speaking with the dev) hard to get working.
I love the flip camera on the Zenfone and do miss a 90hz display, plus with a likely more active rom community I'm gonna sell this and basically switch at no/little cost.

It's my girlfriend's birthday next weekend and she wanted a new iPhone. Now I've ordered here that (albeit a bad time as iPhone 12 will be out soon) I feel like I need to upgrade my 3 year old handset! ?
Think I'm settled on getting the ZenFone now, it ticks all the boxes for me.
Also, as no official UK release, I presume it will be shipped with EU charger?

I'm fed up of seeing threads on here and in places like Reddit asking how to add GMS to this phone. If you want GMS then why have you purchased a phone without it?
Either take the time to learn how to live without GMS or don't go buying phones without it. It really is that simple.
Yup. It is the first phone that can not install GMS. It is possible with P40 PRO but not with international P50 PRO, China is OK - it works (Harmony 2, not EMUI).
So we are dealing with it. No doubt about that.
Right now the international P50 PRO is crap. This is how we deal with it.

You mean moaning is how you are dealing with it.
So why buy a phone that doesn't come with GMS if all you are going to do is complain about it not having GMS? Do you go out and deliberately buy a red car just so you can moan about the fact it's not blue?
I love the way P30 PRO works, I skiped P40 PRO (worked with googlefier), P50 PRO China works also. International is crap. At the time of my purchase I did not have information of the "crap" diference. There is no color logic here.
The phone works properly, according to the manufacturer.
It is only your fault that you did not find out properly before the purchase; lack of proper information does not mean that a product sucks ...
If you buy something only on the basis of assumptions, you will end up with such results.

Phone does not suck. It is one of the best phones on the market. I know that for sure. That is why I bought it.
But that does not change the that the phone is CRAP without GMS. I bought Chinese version with Harmony. I got this EMUI crap. My fault is just buying this crap. Info about EMUI and not Harmony came with the phone. I would still use my P50 PRO if I could "uncrap" it.
So you bought a Chinese version, but you received an international one ??
That means you have been cheated by the seller ...
I preordered it when there was only one version. I did not specifically said:"Don't sell me the crap EMUI version.", because it did not exist at my order time. This is now the only version you get around here.

Whether you purchased the Chinese or international version is irrelevant. You would of bought a phone that did not come with GMS. Even if you got the Chinese version you'd eventually start complaining once the exploits got patches.
I am not complaining. I just explained my point that the phone is crap without GMS. No need to change my mind. You should respect my point of view. I am not trying to change anybodies mind. This is simply what I think of this phone. I explained why I bought it. You may use it as you like. Enjoy. It looks like your expectations are fully filed. Mine are not. So for me it is a crap.
Another thing is that most of other phones can be unlocked and rooted. This one? CRAP! You can't.
I bought the phone and I can do with it what I like. Right now it is in the original box waiting to be "uncraped". If you want to offer serius buck let me know. This crap is for sale.

Your point of view and yet you keep saying we.
But anyway please go ahead and sell your phone. I'm sure the buyer will be mature enough to appreciate it for what it is rather than wishing it was something it is not.

Noted. Mature buyer like me. I can see that you would like to make all P50 PRO look like a shiny pearl. If you ask me it is crap (international version). You can not change that with your "mature" aproach.
And it is not what I wish it would be. You are right.
Do you want it? 800 europen shilings and it is yours. Shipping included. Warranty from this year at local telecom.

As I only paid £550 for mine be brand new I'll pass.
I paid 880€ with discount and 2 years of bond to operator. Mine was one of the first in the city. Your price was fair. I completely understand your pass.
