Came across this after I missed the previous deal directly from OnePlus. It's a bit more expensive, but already unlocked right out of the box according to the listing so don't need to worry about T-mobile unlocking it or not.

I hoped it would be like last year's 7T deal, where B&H sold a T-Mobile model unlocked by OnePlus with the unlocked version OS installed. I'm using that phone right now.

Yikes.

Umm, what is the difference?

Is it, unlocked has generic FW, T-Mobile unlocked can accept any sim but has T-Mobile FW (splash screen etc)?

That seems odd.

I know Samsungs will flash to whatever firmware of what sim you put in. Or used too. Dont know the behavior of One Plus phones.

Anyways this phone has been ~395 at Amazon lately for the regular unlocked. I would assume pending clarity to all the above it might be worth a few extra $ for normal unlocked? And if you have the Amazon CC like I do you'll get another 5% cash back making it slightly cheaper than this.

Regardless the One Plus 8 is THE BEST value for new phones currently sold in the United States and has been for a few months. It's essentially a Galaxy S20/S20 FE for $400 new all the time. I saw One Plus USA sales increased 280% or something. Granted the OP9/pro is a turd to be avoided IMO.

It will be better than the upcoming Pixel 5a (rumored $450) judged on leaks too. As that phone will sport a 780G chipset which pales compared to the SD 865 here. Unless you really care about photos (and dont care about power/longevity) where supposedly the Pixel line is better. I can't really tell the difference in high end smartphone photos. And assuming the 5a doesn't have the same dim screen and slow charging issues as the 4a.

The TMobile 7T I bought from B&H last year is a single sim model 1907 (TMobile US). The FW is the unlocked dual sim international, but it shows the TMobile model number. Weird. All the software updates from OnePlus are the unlocked model.

Can anyone comment on using this for work? Does your MDM team allow enterprise resource access with any OnePlus phone?

BTW, as a FYI for any new OnePlus buyer, the OP does not have wireless charging capability.
