Some machine

It's just fantastic.
Not sure about the usefulness of the curved sides to the screen, without even the kind of use that the Samsung Edge tools presented.

It's absolutely pointless imo. Great phone otherwise.

It seems to just add to the real-estate on the screen but a standard case just makes it unusable...
Still, a minor gripe for a great handset

They are offering a bundle with the 7T at the moment that includes a case, type C bullet earphones, spare warp charger and cable, glass screen protector and a USBC to 3.5mm converter.

That is a tempting offer!

On a 6 at the moment and tempted to pull the trigger. Reviews seem to suggest that the 7T is more than enough and the bundle seems good value.

Any dissenting voices? Not so keen on the pop-up camera if I'm honest.

Just came in to post the exact same thing

I am also wondering should I hold tough for the Oneplus 8 and Xiaomi Mi 10 pro releases....

Has anyone installed the Android 10 firmware on there Pro 7?

I just got a notification saying it's available to upgrade and wondered whether I should take the plunge.

I threw away the case and the screen saver eventually came off, I can't count the amount of times I've dropped it and it hasn't broken...yet..it's a seriously hardy phone...

The OnePlus 7T free pack is now down to the screen protector and earphones...no case or adapter.
At this point, another month or so won't bother me so I'll wait for the. OnePlus8 or the Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro

Anyone else having issues charging their 7T? When I plug it in the charging icon doesn't appear and it charges at a VERY VERY slow rate of may be 1% in over 30 mins.

I have a funny feeling it may be something to do with recent update?

Could be your charging port needs cleaning?
Small darning needle and clean gently around the inside...you should see some lint come out

That may have been the issue actually, cheers!

Slowly the charge port on my OnePlus 7 Pro is starting to get loose - the charger cable no longer fixes in firmly and clicks and by the week it's more fiddly to get it to warp charge unless I have it fitting snugly and don't move the phone.

Any tips for others with this issue? Obviously RMA'ing the phone back to OnePlus probably isn't going to happen with the current situation.

Usually a clean does the job with surgical spirits or similar.
You think it's gone beyond that?

Can anyone recommend a set of earphones for these? I wanna start listening to some songs (presumably via spotify?) while I go for a short run.

Any Bluetooth headphones will work. Really depends on your budget.

I have a pair of Anker Bluetooth that cost about €20 on Amazon. They are great for running.

If you want top of the range noise cancelling then the price will be very different.

Anyone expecting price drops in the 7T with the launch of the OP8?

No, they had a package deal 6 weeks ago with case, buds etc worth €100 ...sold out quickly...stock was low enough then, don't think they have any need to drop the price at all

Not early anyway ,as it's a class phone and still selling well

A certain Chinese site rhyming with Dearpest are doing the Xiaomi Mi 10 pro at $860 this weekend...equates to about €790 ...I can't see the Oneplus 8 Pro being less than 1k tbh

Good value especially Vs the 8 if 5g isn't important to you. Well it's what I would go for, I don't in a city where there seems to be 5g it available in the cities at the moment

You can get a P30 Pro from Vodafone for €500 or €450 if switching network which is a good option at that price.

Got the One Plus 3 on release and battery seems to finally showing its age.
So looking at that 7T on amazon.
Would the 3 charger work for it? Maybe not warp, but fast? Just since the German plug is 2 pin, I may not always have an adaptor with me.

I'm sure everyone here would recommend the upgrade from3 to 7T?

I jumped from 3T to 7T. 3 charger fast-charges just fine. Definitely worthwhile making the move - the 7T is (obviously enough) a better phone in pretty much every way.

Ordered it anyway. Price is 524.43 including postage.
