I've a one plus 7 Pro, v impressed
(switched from an XS max)
Bought the son a S20 plus for e635 (not 5g)
Nice big phone
If I'd the bobs I'd go for the one plus 8 Pro, but too expensive atm

I was looking at a OnePlus 8 t or a pro but very expensive

What's the 7 pro like? Is it fast etc

If you like Xiaomi then look at the mi 10t pro. Flagship specs for around €500. The Samsung s21 series is going to be announced in a few weeks so the prices of the s20 series will drop a bit. Or you could buy a brand new Oneplus 8T for €619.
If I was to pick a phone personally I'd go for the Sony Xperia 5 Mark 2. Water resistant, headphone jack, great triple camera, micro sd, stereo speakers, 120hz oled, no notch or punch hole, RGB notification light and 5g. I have an Xperia 1 myself and the 21:9 aspect ratio seems odd at first but I absolutely love it now. My next phone will either be an Xperia 1 Mark 2 or a Mark 3 when it's announced this year. Other phones just feel fat and heavy to me..

Extremely good, look at recent reviews even all complimentary, one of the best I've had

Isn't the 8 just a minor update over the 7T/Pro? I bought a Huawei P30 Pro after a lot of debate around the OnePlus 7 Pro. P30 had the edge with the camera which is the main thing I wanted. I think the 8 is actually a step back in terms of cameras from what I remember.

It felt weird buying a phone from 2019 but everything in 2020 wasn't much of an improvement or had the same cameras as the previous models.

I previously had an Honor 10 for over 2 years. Couldn't find any of the newer Honor phones in Europe and the Huawei P40 doesn't have Google Play Store anymore, very happy with the P30 Pro.

One plus 7 Pro screen is amazingly good, I've 256 storage,, and its a great big yoke, I've had 6/7 mi phones, Nokia, apple, Sony and this yoke is the best I've held, for a 2019 phone its tops

Both are great, I'd have no hesitation in recommending the ono plus 7 Pro, kicks my xs max into touch

Is the seller reliable? Plenty of good deals stop working shortly after purchase.

OnePlus don't deal in cash. It's not the phone that fails when you get something cheap for cash, it's usually locked by the original owner/insurance.

Obviously do your homework first, I've not heard of anyone buying a phone here that was caught with a locked phone in years, ref the one plus 8 t the op was on about easy check is bring your sim card and insert, if remote only buy from a reputable vendor
Most importantly use PayPal to then any issues like the op mentioned are covered
