    Thanks,would love to know. Surely at this price it is locked for a similar period.

    Most likely...I won't be pulling the trigger...had totally forgotten that it's single sim... need a work sim also.
    So it may have to be the 8 for me

    The official OnePlus website has the OnePlus 7T Pro as having dual NANO-SIM? Where did you see that it is single SIM only?

    are the prepays defintely locked?
    Could you just buy it prepay and not both topping up but using a different SIM?

    can't see how the phone is only single sim? surely OP don't make different variations?

    The SIM tray is back to back, so you would think that, however some of the US models have a piece of plastic on one side which prevents a second sim being inserted, so its possible they did it that way. However, I've only heard of it on the US models.

    I'm thinking of pulling the trigger on this on eGlobal

    I like the idea of saving approx. €200, even if I have to wait a few extra weeks for it.

    It says "CN Ver. with Flashed OS". I take it this means there some sort of Chinese version - but what dies this mean in practical terms? I get it am I going to be left having to learn Mandarin? Is there anything else I should be aware of?

    Has someone used their 8 or 8 Pro on Vodafone’s 5G network?

    The web site does not list any 5G band for Ireland and somehow there is no concrete info I can see.

    Thanks

    Wikipedia page here calls out the bands, countries and companies. This should be a starting point for you anyway.

    You clearly are missing the point.

    a.) The OnePlus does not support all bands out of the box.
    b.) Not all carriers allow devices not purchased via them on 5G
    c.) OnePlus lists no Irish Carrier as supported
    d.) Vodafone does use N78 but some implementation is different

    Which is why I specificly asked if someone used it on Vodafone 5G.

    But thank you for you contribution.

    I currently use my OnePlus Pro 8 with two sim cards in it... You get a notification to say that you can't use 5G while having two sims in it (currently) and it may change with a future update...

    Let's hope someone here has Vodafone and can report back.

    With the lower price on amazon for it, I am thinking of jumping and buying one but if it won't work on Vodafone 5G than I will choose a different phone.

    I am with Vodafone on bill pay, so I should be able to get 5g. I will have to check where has the 5g coverage so I can test it out.
    Edit: Am on a 5g plan but will have to wait til I am in Dublin city centre to test it out.

    I am with Vodafone and have a Note 10 plus 5G.
    Only time I have had 5G working was when I was in Power City in Coolock (got over 300mbps using speed test)
    I never go to City Centre so can't say if it is widespread there or just certain areas.
    I have the last couple of days seen the 5G icon come on a lot, but no extra data speed over regular LTE/4G, I believe it has to do with Vodafone testing it but not 100% live here yet. (I'm in Raheny on the Northside)

    I just read that the Aviva stadium is 5G enabled so that might be a good spot for testing your 5G connection.
    I'm assuming that is not something that gets *switched off* when there's nothing on in the stadium.

    I went from 7pro to 8pro. Camera was great on the 7pro but is definately improved on the 8pro. Especially love night shots with it.

    Think I'm going to go for one of these soon having looked at a load of reviews of different phones, if I buy from Amazon UK should I just be able to put my Three sim in and away I go? Or is there anywhere else I'd be better off buying from?

    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.

    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.

    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:

    https://forums.oneplus.com/threads/5g-not-available-if-using-two-sims.1237567/

    Hello,

    If your OnePlus 8 pro , OnePlus 8 or Oneplus 7T pro 5G is not connecting to 5G in 5G covered area .

    # Use single 5G SIM card in number 1 slot.

    Follow the steps here : 


    Requirements:

    1- install EngineerMode apk manually on your phone: http://www.mediafire.com/file/i72tnya1aawo09v/Engineeringmode_V1.01.0.apk/file


    2- On you computer you need to have OnePlus driver installed:
    http://www.mediafire.com/file/zkua1ob0dzaor09/OnePlus_USB_Driver_Setup.exe/file


    3- QPST-application. Please find application from internet:
    http://www.mediafire.com/file/ocpqez9whauy5w6/QPST_2.7.474.zip/file


    4- The two XML files with enabled 5G network: http://www.mediafire.com/file/go0qava73eiz0m6/Carrier_Policy.zip/file


    5- USB-cable between your computer and phone.


    When you finish and ready:

    1- On phone you have to dial to *#801# and enable Rndis, diag switch. Don’t enable Serial-interface if you have installed apk manually.

    2- Connect your phone to your computer via USB.

    3- Open then QPST-application.

    4- On the menu Open Start Clients then QPST EFS Explorerand wait until you see the files.

    5- Then go to policyman.

    6- In the policyman - right list, you will see two file : carrier_policy.xml and carrier_policy.xml_Subscription01. Copy them to your computer as a backup if you need them in the feature.

    7- Now delete the two files (carrier_policy.xml and carrier_policy.xml_Subscription01) files from the policyman - right list.


    8- Now go to the tow XML files you already download earlier – 5G enabled network. Copy them to the policymandirectory , drop and drag one each time.

    9- Reboot your phone , your 5G is enabled now.

    On OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro you may have to enable 5G NR via *#*#4636#*#* then Phone Information -> Set preferred network type. Choose :

    NR/LTE/TDSCDMA/CDMA/EvDo/GSM/WCDMA

    Or

    NR/LTE/TDSCDMA/GSM/WCDMA

    Enjoy the 5G speed :hearteyes::hearteyecat:

    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


  • #197

    Registered Users Posts: 193 ✭✭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.

    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.
