T-Mobile version, 8 GB RAM 128gb storage in Onyx Black or Interstaller Glow, excellent phone with Snapdragon 865, 5G, 90Hz refresh rate, big screen, etc. Very powerful processor and can be easily unlocked. Should show as $349 before codes, enter code NovoP8 for additional $50 off. This is the lowest I've ever seen this phone. Separately, OnePlus is also giving an extra $100 promotional trade-in value for older OnePlus phones through November (offering, eg, $200 for OnePlus 7T).

This beats the precious FP deal by $50.

It's a good phone for the price. Comparable to the Samsung s20, same chip set. No MicroSD slot. No wireless charging.

Has that edge gimmick the older galaxys had, if you're into that. (curved screen) It looks nice but it's a pain using landscape mode when using it in a case (swiping for notifications)

If you can get the s20 for under 350 get that instead. if not get this
whats the difference between tmo and unlocked version?

Edit: seems bad news to me, updates gotta go through tmo. There is an unlock procedure at XDA but I'm sure it's quite complex and not worth the hassle for me, YMMV. I would stick to unlocked (which is out of stock anyway, but $390 from Amazon).

I'm also kind of waiting to see what One Plus BF looks like. Many of their specials are on the underwhelming and overpriced 9 line, but if I'm reading right on Nov 26 all their phones go on sale. Hoping for a juicy sale on the 8t at that time (hoping for 400). 8t has advantages of 12/256 rather than 8/128, and a flat screen.
I'm still rocking my OnePlus 5T since launch. Phone is a beast. Should last me another 3 years before upgrading.

If you have any friends who have TMobile, they can pop in their sim and the phone should get automatically unlocked. That's what I do. The phone is not on a payment plan and it's fully paid off.

(People are reporting you don't even need to insert sim, phone is immediately unlockable through settings.)

5G alone is a reason to upgrade, TMobile (and MVNOs) has an excellent 5G network.

Haven't had any issues with software updates. It's immediately upgradeable to Android 11 and will get Android 12 regardless of what carrier it's used with. OnePlus is very good with their updates.

It's far better than the base S20 (bigger screen, bigger battery, less bloatware, arguably better camera set). And the OnePlus UI is way faster than the Samsung bloatware. I'd conpare this more to the S20+.

One area where Samsung has it beat is 12GB Ram versus 8GB but 8Gb Is plenty, and the MicroSD slot (which Samsung deleted on the S21). Wireless charging is more of a gimmick as IIRC the S20 doesn't support wireless fast charging.
