OnePlus 8/Pro

For the current or previous generation? You'd have to be a bit daft to think they'd release some top end phones and then immediately reduce the price

He means that he thought the price would go back from €919 to €899

€719 and €919 are the prices because of Irish VAT.

Well no, I don't think so

The UK website, is priced very much the same as ours. As is the Canadian website

The only difference I can really see is the Americans getting great deals

Have you attempted to check out on the UK site?

Just pulled the trigger on purchasing a OnePlus 8 Pro...

The Karbon case which I usually like (I had it with my OnePlus 5) is currently sold out. Does anyone know of a good OnePlus 8 Pro case/protector?

Came with a cheap case in the box. I'm not really supposed to have a case on my phone at the moment as impacts on the disinfecting. I'll probably get a oneplus one over the summer

I got the OnePlus 8.
As background, I had the OnePlus 6 Pro and this year was using the 7 Pro. My 7 Pro had the Ghost Touch issue that OnePlus said was fixed but it persisted after all updates and meant I couldn't leave NFC enabled. So I got onto Amazon last month, told them about it and they refunded me. Absolutely great service by them.

So the options I wanted were to either buy the OnePlus 8 for pretty much the same price as my refund or add £200 and get the Pro. I wanted the Pro but the price difference was too much for me to justify and I did the opposite of OnePluses slogan and settled for the 8.

For me Wireless charging isn't something I care about at all. I charge beside the bed at night and I have a charging cable downstairs for top ups if needed and one in my car and one in my office. Similarly I don't care about the official waterproof rating. It's nice but not nice enough. I know there are other differences (screen, camera etc.) but the camera is brilliant for my uses and the screen looks great.

After researching and watching comparison videos I thought the 8 was good enough. And it is. It's a beautiful phone. I've only had it a few days but I'm happy with it. If they'd slapped the Pro badge on this I'd have been none the wiser.

The pinhole camera is distracting in day one. In day two etc. I've forgotten about it

Hey folks, currently using a OnePlus 6 for the last two years. Love it, however I am a sucker for an upgrade and I want it to be another OnePlus. I'm really struggling to decide between the 7t, which is newly discounted on the official website, 7t Pro which I'd love for the sheer power & speed and the new 8. From my research and the dozens of videos I've watched, apparently the 8 is not that much of an upgrade from the 7t and with a price difference of almost €180 I'm leaning towards the 7t with a nice case as best bang for buck. Ideally if the 7t Pro came down in price in the next month I'd jump for that. Alas the 8 Pro is simply to pricey for me at the moment.

I'm in exactly the same position and leaning the same way. The 7T is definitely the most appealing option price wise. And they will take my 6 as a trade in which helps.

Out of interest what trade-in value are they giving you for the 6? I must try that myself.

There is another part of me pushing me to, for once, go all out and buy the flagship model from a manufacturer also. I'd love to take the plunge and go for the 8 Pro but, given the current climate, I cannot justify €1,000 right this minute.

What comes up in the site when I put in the details is 100 euro plus 30 bonus. Might get more to sell privately.

I have a one plus 8. Not pro. Didn't want to open a new thread.
Anyone encountered issues with calls being dropped. Basically during a call the other caller can't hear me but I can hear them.
Is it just me

I have issue where calls can become garbled after 30s or so (Pro). Is pretty irritating, never happens when I call back.

Still an issue for me. I've seen it with other users too so not alone it seems

Factory reset?

Free wireless bullets with the OnePlus 8 at the moment from the website direct

Folks, anyone have the 8 Pro? About to pull the trigger on a 7T Pro and wondering should I man-up and splash out the extra €150 for the 8 Pro :pac:

I'm looking at getting the 8 from eglobal. Anyone any experience buying from them? Much cheaper, currently at €530 for base model. Most websites (including Chinese OnePlus official page) state the Chinese version supports n78 (so should cover 5g Vodafone here) but eglobal doesn't state n78! This is the only thing holding me back from pulling the trigger at the minute. Anyone know if it's just an oversight by eglobal? Sent them a mail but nothing back yet

I got mine today from them, ordered from them on 07/05, it got to Belgium DPD on monday, then arrived in Athlone Wed, no progress then until I woke up this morning and saw out for delivery. At the moment I'm transferring all my stuff from my other phone on to it using the oneplus app, so I havent had much time to play with it yet, Haven't established what 5g bands are on it, and I only have a prepaid voda sim, which probably isn't 5G enabled anyway.

Nice looking phone though, and GMS and all the android pay stuff works perfect(first thing I tried out).

Anyone noticed that if you leave the phone in direct sunlight for a short period, you get a warning saying phone is too hot and brightness and other functions will be limited until phone cools. Usually returns to normal after a few mins

There are a lot of phones doing this last few days, different makes, Samsung etc.

Just the outside temps and lots of processes running heat up any phone

7T Pro reduced to €639 on official website today, which makes the difference between that and the 8 Pro - €280. I think that has made my mind up.
