OnePlus 6T - 8GB RAM - 128GB - 358 euro delivered

tedpan

Great price for this phone, as long as you don't mind the 2-3 week wait from Asia and buying from Gearbest..

OP 6T

Use coupon code: GBMP6T8128

It's the 8GB RAM, 128GB storage version

Valid for the next 24 hours...

Thought it was worth sharing!

This is similar to the Bangood offer from the other week in the other Oneplus thread, €385 with voucher code. Don't think anyone posting in that thread received a phone, just endless emails from Bangood contradicting the prior email, offers of a different colour 6T that was definitely in stock and ready to be shipped in 48hrs, until magically out of stock again. I'd save the frustration and go for the One Plus 6 64Gb from Amazon.it for 390 delivered, as they actually have stock of it!

I wouldn't, the battery on the 6T is better, the notch is annoying on the 6 and 64GB of storage is not enough. I use gearbest a lot and as long as you allow 3 weeks for delivery, you won't have any stress.

RossieMan

What about customs?

Not worth the hassle dealing with gearbest. Just look how they fecked off from here after everyone lost interest. Zero customer service.

I've taken the plunge. Here's hoping i've better luck than i did with Banggood...

Sorry to off topic but how is 64GB not enough storage?

mailburner

paid 579 for this back in nov

this is a steal at the price and if you're on the fence just get off it...
you won't regret it

For myself, I use dropbox for all my photos and videos (which saves me a good few GB). Without dropbox, Id run out of 64GB space very quickly. Recording 5/10 minute videos in 4K, are a couple of gig (hence why I have dropbox).

However, I download a lot of albums from spotify, and that also is a good few gig. I also have a few movies on mine (Huawei) which is another few gigs. Purely depends on peoples usage. I agree that 64GB is probably enough for a lot of people. Ive 128GB on my phone and currently have 50GB used (and another 400/500GB on dropbox from this phone alone)

tedpan

I take a lot of photos and video on the phone, plus I use it for my drone and dashcam. 64GB would be used up in a few weeks. Maybe I'm a heavy user...

I know, I paid 699 in December for the 10GB 256GB version. Was thinking of picking this up as a spare!

What is the reception / call quality like on these??

Amazing, I'm on Vodafone, so also depends on your network. The user interface is brilliant too, so easy to use. Not sure if I could go back to Samsung or Huawei.

Giggernaut

Very tempted to pull the trigger.

I'm a newb buying from Gearbest but general consensus is good but it'll take a while?

Is expedited shipping not worth it?

I always go with standard registered shipping, it takes 2-3 weeks on average. Maybe the expedited shipping is faster?

As other people have stated, their tracking is useless as well as customer support although I've always been happy at the end, it's all about being patient really..

There is also a small chance of customs. I had to pay duty on a drone battery before, everything else has been delivered without an issue, at least 30 orders at this stage.

I'd recommend them and purchase almost once a month.

Ordered one as my OP5 is acting up, good price lads are asking for over 400 on adverts.

I'm still using my one+1..

We bought one in Cex . Cost 475e . was brand new in box . To say its amazing is an understatement. You won't be disappointed . It ticks all boxes .bought a front and back cover in local phone shop .

I'm an extremely heavy phone user. My 3 ye old OnePlus 3T is still absolutely flawless. Never ever had any issues best phone I've ever had by miles and I've had several iPhones etc. I honestly can't praise OnePlus phones enough

tedpan

EXPIRED

testtech05

Messaged GearBest to see if they could give me an update on expected dispatch of the phone, ordered on the 27th of June and got the below response:

"We are attempting to prepare your order as soon as possible. However, this item sold much faster than we expected, due to it being in popular demand, and is currently out of stock.

In order to resolve this issue, please view the estimated dispatch time of your item and our suggestion below.
Kindly inform us your decision."


Starting to look like it might be another BangGood situation.......

That's their usual rubbish update. I really wouldn't worry though, as I said I wouldn't start attempting to track for at least another 6-10 days, it just gets frustrating.

Thanks, I haven't used them before so wanted to follow up. Really hoping I get it now

Yeah, they are really bad at customer service and order updates. The best thing to do is check if there's any movement on Friday. This is extremely difficult especially waiting for a new phone! I have already pulled most of my hair out over the years dealing with them, but always happy in the end.

I got an email from Gearbest this morning saying it has been shipped.
Please allow 10-18 business days for delivery.

Amazon Prime sale is on today and tomorrow they have OnePlus 6 at £400

thenightman

Amazon Italy have one plus 6 + case for e419 either. Save about 30 quid compared to Amazon UK mentioned above.

Cheers guys.
Ones posted not as good? Older model, less ram dearer etc.
Thanks nonetheless, posts appreciated.

After 8 days my parcel hiding out somewhere in Budapest I received updated tracking info today.

Looks like DHL finally have the parcel and it's now in Germany, message is as follows.

"Radefeld, Germany, The international shipment has been processed in the parcel center of origin"

Expecting things to progress at a faster pace from here.

testtech05

Mine is showing the same now too.
Wonder will DHL tracking be somewhat accurate from now on?

Thundercats Ho

Same as.

Phone delivered this morning. Haven't got it in my hands yet but looking forward to checking it out this evening

Really impressed so far, the phone is so responsive looks great and seems to be almost endless customisation options that I will be working through for the next while

One downside so far is the plug adapter that came in the package from Gearbest a little bit flimsy to say the least so will need to order a better one of those.

The phone itself though very impressive and seems to be very good value for money so far.

tedpan

Awesome, thanks for the update! I ended up buying a UK/Ireland dash charger for mine from eBay. Think it cost around £20, but well worth it! Enjoy!

Have ordered one from Amazon this morning but we will see if it turns out to be legit or not.

Searching for a friend, these all seem sold out or have increased, anyone any idea where there are similar deals?

Jet Black

For another €100 you can get the newer oneplus 7 on honorbuy. It's a flashed but is the global version so won't be a problem. No customs and you'd have it in two days.

Thats great, thanks a million!

You'll just have to make do with the UK site instead

I actually received the one from the Banggood thread - great offer for a 6T. I know its older stock!
