So you finally reach back into affordability price point?

Kinda late into the game by reducing prices now.....

before you jump, you might wanna check reddit and XDA about tmobile updates. Should be slower than OnePlus and delays here and there.

Every year, they say they got better camera, but everyone is really here for the specs and dash charging.

I was really disappointed with the camera too, but ever since I downloaded the gcam apk, I'm happy. Everything else is good, except for the fingerprint sensor, takes a lot of tries to work.

The fingerprint sensor is the worst. I gave up on it. It sounds cool, but horrible execution.

I have been eyeing OnePlus 7T, 7T McLaren, and Pixel XL's and was going to wait for some great sales on those. 👍 But at this price, I am intrigued. Will definitely have to do some research to see whether it's worth it for me, even at this tasty price. Do you think the other phones I mentioned will have major discounts coming up? Decisions, decisions...

I hope those who are down voting this deal, comment in the thread and share their thoughts with the rest of us, instead of just down voting without commenting.

T-Mobile very slow software update or never. Still on LG V20, still waiting for Android 9 update. Same on LG. Never buy T-Mobile phone and LG phone. Good deal, too bad it's T-Mobile.

People report that you can flash this one with the stock OnePlus ROM if you root it first. Then you'll get your updates when OnePlus releases them and not have to wait for T-Mobile.

I've been wanting to get the 7Pro with 256GB of storage for 2 months now but it's still OOS. If this just had more memory or an SD card slot I'd be grab one.

Got this phone end of 2018 when this first launched on T-Mobile and have been pleasantly surprised by how far OnePlus has come since the OnePlus One. Here's why I like it:

No bloat, useless software, and as close to stock features as the Pixel
Devices updates such as security updates don't lag significantly from when Google releases them. Mind you, this phone is already a generation behind the current generation (7 Pro and 7T) so updates might slow down in coming months. the 7Pro and 7T do look better and have newer features but it depends on your usage.
Screen time of between 5 - 7 hours and don't need to charge daily.
Better photos than my wife's older Samsung S7 and S10 plus in low light shots. But this is subjective.

If you're on a budget, this handily beats the Pixel 2, 3 and 3a. But that's IMHO.

T-mobile is slower with updates which is why I flashed this to the International version. It means no bloat, adblocking and greater customization, features. There are a lot of guides on how to do this over on XDA [xda-developers.com].

Out of curiosity, why do you need 256GB of storage unless you store a ton of videos, music on your phone? Photos can be synced to Google Photos or other storage apps.
