Just recieved mine (12gb version) . Haven't done anything yet but put it on charge

I thought I had a lot of RAM on my 6T with 10GB!

Anyway, no point on putting it on charge, you may as well start using it immediately. Phones don't need to be charged prior to first use anymore.

I wasn't ready to start using it, I was a little busy at the time, that's the only reason I charged it.

Have mine on order to replace my mate 20 Pro.

Went for the one plus 7 Pro 256gb 8gb version as do I really need 12gb of ram on a phone?.

Anyone seen any good cases with a built in screen protector?.

Went for the 12gb version myself off amazon.de, won't have it for a few weeks. I doubt I'll ever need the extra 4gb of RAM but I'm sure whatever relative gets the phone as a hand me down in 2 years will be glad of it.

It's a business purchase and OnePlus won't do vat receipts (to be honest their vat practices sounds a bit dodgy, how can a phone be €820 in every European country when vat varies so much between them). With Amazon they'll sell to you ex vat once you register your vat number with them.

Anyone with the phone: How is it for size? A lot of the reviews say it's pretty tall and heavy.

Could anyone with a bit more knowledge than me, tell me how this redmi(pro version) fares against the OnePlus 7 pro.
Cons or pros if any?

Never heard of them. But seems similar to Eglobal/Toby Deals both of which I have used.

However they guarantee no customs / refund if there are. While this says you are responsible and they will mark the item at low value.

I can't see how any site like that can have a genuine 20% off sale across the board given the amount of competition online.

Having said that if you can pay with eBay and you end up getting ripped off you should be able to get your money back...........I think!!

Is there any issues with buying off the US site, getting it ordered to the US and picking it up over there to bring back to use here ? The 8G 256 is only 699$ so ~620 which is a big saving from 749e

The only diff seems to be TDS here missing on the US model.....Is there another issue I need to be aware of ??

Vat is collected by delivery company when they deliver it to you.
There is a chance that it might get by without customs checking it but to be honest when you're talking €150ish they'll probably be only too delighted to hit you for it.

It's a gamble that may or may not pay off.

He's ordering it to a US address not an Irish one. The One Plus website should be adding state taxes for the delivery address.
