OnePlus 8/Pro

Debating whether to upgrade by OP5. Considering the similarity in cost, would I be better going for the non-pro 8 or the 7T Pro. Or any other suggestions? Had been looking at the Pixel 4 too.

Take a look at the mi 10 aswell, available on amazon.es atm with free wireless earphones and their mi fitness band and 100 euro off so 699. Debating between the two myself at the moment.

I'm using Xiomi MI 6, and want to get the 8pro, wheres the cheapest place to get it?

OP5 is starting to act up after 3 years or so. Mainly battery issues, dying quickly, turning off from 15% etc so looking at upgrading.
Have a car with wireless charging port so hoping to get a phone with it. Looking at OP8pro but don't think I can afford or justify nearly 1k for a phone. Other ones I've been looking at are Pixel 4 and Mi 10.
Love OnePlus and the bang for buck you used to get but like others have said they now seem to be flagship competitor rather than flagship destroyer

I've a One Plus 5 as well and looking at the OP7T for €525 from amazon.de and the P30 Pro from Vodafone for €500 or €450 if you Port your number.

My oneplus 8 has been picked up by DHL in Poland, hopefully it might be here tomorrow but i'd say itl'll be a few days

I've got a OP5 and the thing is still running as well as it did the day I bought it. Best phone I've ever owned. Except for the camera which is horrible in low light. I'd consider upgrading if this new one had a better camera.

On the OnePlus 5 myself still

I still think we've a "good" camera but cameras on phones have come a long way since our one came out. Most definitely it'll be an improvement !

I'm trying to come up with an excuse to upgrade, if I'm honest It's still a cracking phone nearly 3 years after I bought it and I have no real reason to change. I'm happy with the camera most of the time but find low light to be its Achilles heel. Mind you, seeing as I can't actually go anywhere to take photos with a phone....

I was less careful with my own phone the last few weeks... The phone cover plastic broke away so I've been using it without a protector or case and since I did this the screen has been getting scratches etc. But I didn't mind because the OnePlus 8 was on the horizon.

But the price threw me altogether as very expensive !

But I think I'll still go for it anyway, I wonder in a week or two will the price drop even 20euro or something to bring it under the €900 mark.

The bullets Z , annoying they don't charge off the back of the Pro but 10hrs usage from 10min charge and 20hour usage from 20min charge is incredibly good.

Have seen more than one people on Reddit comment that their OP8 pro seems to have a kind of screen burn after only a few days use :-/
