OnePlus 8/Pro

Onyx black the only option is both base models isn’t great.

Couple of other colours that aren’t there at all as well.

I have the OP3, thinking about an upgrade. My camera does't focus anymore and the volume buttons don't work either. I've already replaced the audio jack and the power port; think it's maybe time to send my little OP3 to the farm for old tech.

The OP8 pro is out of my price range and honestly I could only really stretch to the OP8 (128Gb version) if I thought the specs were that much better than the OP7T or OP7Tpro.

The OP7Tpro is £700 from OP themselves but cheaper used elsewhere and I'm hoping htere will be a proce drop in the next week or so when the 8 series starts arriving at people's doors. I know there has been a suggestion above of going 7T over 8 for cost, but what about the 7Tpro? How do you think that stacks up against the 8?

I am tempted as an upgrade to my 6T but not sure is enough difference really. Would still need G-cam I would assume

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.

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 :-/

Reddit Thread

I've had several OnePlus phones over the years. I've upgraded nearly every second generation. So I have owned a OP1, OP3, and a OP6, which is my current phone. My usual buying habit has been to wait until October when my birthday helps me to mentally justify the purchase.

I'm one of the saps that when he upgrades, likes to have the top of the tree. I've mocked apple users over the years for paying such exorbitant amounts, the OP8 Pro price is going to hurt if I go that route.

One plus 8 pro in glacial green just arrived, such a nice colour
