    Just so you are aware ted.
    There is no guarantee that you won't be hit by customs.
    It's luck of the draw.
    If you are it will be over €100.
    Forewarned is forearmed!

    Are they even legit? Id be very wary buying something like this off those sites.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,135 ✭✭✭✭Mars Bar


    I bought the one plus 7T 128gb last night in the black Friday sales here in the UAE. €395 plus free delivery.
    Looking forward to it arriving today.

    Why is it so much more expensive in Europe than the MENA region?

    I paid less than 400 Euro for the same phone as above.

    Anyway, so far so good. The AMOLED screen is so nice and I love the haptic feedback. I feel like a made a good choice

    Yep, have bought multiple flashed OnePlus's from eglobal. No hardware differences and work normally with OTA updates etc. Think warranty is the major difference as you'd have to deal with eglobal for support and not OnePlus. Never had an issue though, touch wood!

    How would this phone compare to the Samsung S8 I have at the moment?

    How does it compare to the S10. It's 650e in Argos at present.

    Main differences would be:

    Camera - Samsung would still have advantage on this but a lot of new features in 7t like the macro mode and the stable video.

    Screen - 90 ghz on the 7t compared to 60ghz, you'll notice the difference when scrolling and browsing

    OS - Oneplus's Oxygen OS has less bloat and feels snappier than Samsung's, 7t has the latest Android 10 (Q) right outside the box - they also do regular software updates every month or 2.

    Chipset - Latest Snapdragon 855+ on 7t

    Battery - bigger battery on the 7t (3800 mah)

    a lot more just click on the link below

    -- this is the more salient question and the answer is that it competes very favourably with the S10 and is certainly better in pretty much every department than 2 year old tech. Even the camera, which has been uninspiring on OnePlus phones in the past, is a very big step-forward on the 7T.

    Hey There

    Ok just unlocked the bootloader and installed TWRP and Magisk and on the most recent updates

    On previous one plus phones I used Custom Roms but sticking with stock this time

    So restored apps via Google drive and just have a few issues

    Scrolling through the settings and apps some I dont want to appear there. Example I have 3 Titanium apps?? On regular one Titatnium Back up add on and one Titanium Back up Pro. Another example is Nova Launcher and Nova Settings.
    How can I remove some of these apps?

    Using Titanium I tried to remove the apps I dont need like Google Play movies, Netflix etc. Removed them but still showing?. However when I try to remove others eg Digital Wellbeing I get failed to locate the apk file?? Do I have to remove apps and install from scratch rather than have back ups from previous phone(OP5 on old rom)

    Using Magisk and want to install You Tube Vanced. I have downloaded this and can see its installed but cannot see it on the list of apps?

    Final one simple thing trying to get the settings for phone. I pull down the top screen and I can see that the phone is set on vibrate but how can I change settings to silent, ring etc.

    Still trying to figure the above out if anyone can assist some maybe DAH questions I should know but just seeking assistance

    Cheers

    One thing someone mentioned a while back in this thread but that I'm really seeing myself with the 7T - this phone is buggy as hell. Can't wait to see an update come through.

    The only thing really annoying me about it so far is the automatic brightness, its absolutely awful

    Yup, that's really annoying. Funnily enough, I never thought the automatic brightness worked properly on my old 3T.

    Aren't you getting semi-regular 'weak GPS signal' messages along the bottom?

    I've seen a bunch of little things - nothing I'd be shouting from the rooftops about - but things that I'd hope will be sorted by an update.

    on a OP7pro and Android 10 (Q) i think is buggy enough and that keyboard is a no go for me.

    sticking with Android 9 (pie) until i see some improvements.
