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 You can wait and see what is released in the next few months that will make this model more outdated or you can take advantage of the price and have a very capable device for another 2 years.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.

Some people just enjoy bashing things.
Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank jamesdsmac
If it's like the op7pro it can be converted to international and with the addition of a dual sim tray ($5 on ebay) you can do dual sim although it MAY have the same imei for both slots...the unlocked has unique imei's on each. If the price is the same get the unlocked...if the unlocked isn't available....well how bad do you want it and are you willing to follow some tutorials from xda-developer.com?
The t-mobile version of all the oneplus devices seems to ship with a single sim tray and the t-mobile firmware did not support dual sim at all on op 7 pro hence the conversion.
