Love my OnePlus 8t
Unblocking bootloader and install custom rom is no easy task esp with 8t. Personally, I have dropped that plan. I usually install custom rom on day 1

i paid 430 for this after having a lot of trouble applying discounts a few weeks ago. sure wish i coulda got this deal no strings. but oh well. oh and the silver was out of stock back then, which i'd rather have.
the t-mobile version is easily sim unlocked. you just click on unlock in the settings. im running it on red pocket att towers no problem although i did have to manually update the apn settings. still has the tmobile boot logo though. also not sure if there are any issues updating havent tried.
although that s21 tmobile 399 deal in the other sd thread is giving me slight buyers remorse, as the s21 is smaller which i wanted, overall i'm happy with this one for sure. i enjoy the flat screen. also 12/256 vs 8/128 for that one is nice for sure. but it is a step down from sd 888 to sd 865, that's not a big deal as 865 is plenty.

I'm no OnePlus fanboy but, yes, I have enjoyed the couple of phones by them that I have owned. Because these points will inevitably be brought up and beat to death on this post;
- yes, the camera could be better but it is still FAR from bad and can take some amazing photos. I have side loaded the latest Google camera app from XDA Developers and I honestly switch back and forth between the OnePlus camera and the Google camera apps depending on lighting and situation (I realized they reach have strengths and weaknesses pretty quickly when comparing the same photos taken with each).
- Yes, OnePlus has taken a big change in brand direction since the original CEO left and merging with sister companies. It was inevitable and there are other brands that have battled to be the next "flagship killers" out there. It is what it is and doesn't take away from this phone.
- No, there is no wireless charging on these phones but the wired charging speeds are ridiculous. I have not noticed ANY battery degradation in the ~1 year of use. It is excellent. I haven't plugged this phone in overnight once since owning it because 20-30 minutes in the morning and afternoon is plenty. YMMV depending on usage.
- Yes, there are better phones but you will be hard pressed to find one that performs at this level for this price. You can wait and see what is released in the next few months that will make this model more outdated or you can take advantage of the price and have a very capable device for another 2 years.
Overall, I am always tempted to have the latest and greatest but this phone is just damn good. I would love to have the absolute best camera, screen, and overall specs but I ultimately got this phone for free through bill credits with T-Mobile so it was a no brainer for me. I would say this price is very fair and a solid deal for an excellent phone that will suit nearly everyone's desires. It is fast, has a great screen (I get compliments on it from coworkers), charges quickly, maintains battery integrity, and is reliable.
