OnePlus 8/Pro

From my experience the OnePlus 8 5G does not work on Vodafone Ireland 5G. Tested 2 sites where my Note 10 plus 5g got reception. In theory it should work because it does cover the N78 Bands.

If you read this thread you will notice that so far nobody has tested even the official IE variant on 5G for anything else than a minute.

Cheers was hoping to upgrade my 7t but will want 5g

No go on the international rom either I’m afraid. I know it supports the N78 band so it’s either Vodafone won’t allow it or software update from oneplus. Also WiFi calling and volte not supported. Pity such a great phone.

Have you contacted oneplus or Vodafone to try resolve this issue

Wonder can anyone help.

I smashed the screen on my S9 today, so I think it's time to go 1+8pro. I can get it in the USA or here. Is there anything I need to consider if I get the USA one.

captainneutron

Couldn’t be bothered tbh. Where I’m living I’m getting 150mbs on 4g+ so that’s more than enough for now. I’d imagine only phones sold by Vodafone are compatible for now.

https://www.oneplus.com/ie/8-pro/specs?from=8pro

Check that link

Go to connectivity

Under Band there's a line

5G: n1, n3, n7, n28, n78

Then under it says

Note:Actual network and frequency band usage depends on local operator deployment. n1,n3,n7,n28 will be supported later through upgrades


In other words 5G on the OnePlus 8 / pro is not supported at the moment regardless of Vodafone, eir etc

Here's a post from a thread on the subject over on the Oneplus Community on their website thats slightly related:

Oneplus 8pro 256GB 12GB Ram on the Amazon Spain website for €889. Is this the best price around, and is there any hardware reason not to order this? (Other than the charger)

Got mine from wondamobile. Chinese version flashed with global rom. 100% perfect and same spec EU

ordered off eglobal 3 weeks ago , I fear the next model will be released before I get my phone !!

Still rocking Oneplus one but recently part of the screen in the middle has died and doesn't respond to touch, so very frustrating to use.
So plan to buy 8 or Nord but finding it very difficult to justify the price of 8 over Nord

captainneutron

To be fair there is significant difference in performance between 8 and Nord... Currently using an 8 Pro. But if coming from OnePlus One then the Nord will be a substantial update. I have the Nord and 8 also so I can back up my opinion.

KilOit

Worth the extra then in your opinion? Not into gaming on phone. Camera, YouTube and browsing is the extent of my phone use

Camera on Nord is same as 8. 8 Pro camera and screen is on another level. Youtube and browsing on all devices will be fantastic. The Nord is a game changer for the price. But if you want best of the best then 8 Pro if u can swallow the price.

I've been holding off on the 8 for the Nord

But discovered the Nord is single sim only which knocks it off the table for me altogether

So now I'm hearing that the 8T and 8T Pro are on the way with 65KW charging and something else

So I think I'll hold out longer to see what that shows

It is Dual Sim. Looking at it right here. And all literature online also says it's Dual SIM. Has exact same Sim tray one oneplus 8 almost.

Is there anywhere to get the wireless warp charger at the moment? Can't really see it anywhere.

Hi all, has anyone used OP's repair service? I applied for a service of my 7Pro as 2/3 of the screen is displaying at a darker brightness compared to the top of the screen. I've attached a screenshot. Just wondering what the service is like? Do I just return the phone or do I have to send charger. Should I remove the case?

Edit: the attached screen doesn't seem to show the error properly.

Just send the phone, be sure wipe it first as your info will be on it. Be prepared, you may not even get the same phone back, they could replace it if it's easier than repair

Seems like a bargain for the OP8, save €160 compared to OP site. anyone bought from Amazon.es before?

I bought the 256gb 8pro from amazon Spain 3 weeks ago.

Everything was great. Shipping was fast. I think I ordered on a Tuesday and had it by Friday. Tracking was good - better than amazon UK weirdly.

Downsides. It arrived with a European charger. I can't find an insurance company that'll insure a phone bought in Spain.

I bought phone off them last year, changed mind then, returned it with an post,€18, Amazon reimbursed €6.

So when I bought the pro it looks like it was on there for 904e - that was for the 256GB one. I think the smaller one was cheaper. Now it's 1000.

I agree with you, very hard to justify the price difference now.

Amazon have the 8Pro in Onyx black reduced to £696

Big saving.
