[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] spotmark:
Glad to hear you got your order in. Hope you enjoy it. And yes, this launch certainly has been a mess.

I did end up ordering the 8 in the Interstellar Glow for my wife. Don't know if she'll find it an appropriate Mothers Day gift or not. Oh, well.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] gaww:
At 4 in the morning they sent an email offering it. At 7, all stock was already gone, so anyone waiting is out of luck. It's a good thing I checked before midnight and ordered then.

Now I am waiting for it to shipped. Given how screwed up their back-office is - fingers crossed.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] bkrickles:
Yeah, I'm happy I kept myself awake until midnight.

I ordered the 8 pro in the ultramarine blue. I might have liked the glacial green but it didn't make sense not to get the additional ram and storage for just $100 more and the blue does look pretty sharp.

Your lucky you have a wife that will use android.

My wife and daughter and virtually everyone in my family uses iphones. I just got my wife the newest iphone a couple of months ago and what's good about it is that when she has an issue (and there's always an issue, lmao), I tell her I know nothing about iphones and she should ask our daughter or someone else. It's the same premise as me sucking at doing the laundry so I never have to do it. Lmfao!!

And you just reminded me how close to Mothers Day we are. Gotta do some thinking.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] masri1987:
did ultramarine blue and glacial green on amazon, won't be here for another 1.5 months, wtf
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] bkrickles:
That doesn't make sense. I'm right now looking at an 8 pro on amazon in ultramarine blue and it says shipping May 16th.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] gaww:
But what are you looking at - price, etc. It also might be a global version from China, and will not work very good in the US.

I think this is the right one for the US.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] gaww:
It probably is.

When I look on Amazon for OnePlus 8 Pro, I only see scams. Your link is totally different and looks ok.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] masri1987:
this is what i see when i click your link, which is the same as my order

$999.00

FREE delivery: June 11 - 17 Details

In stock on May 16, 2020.

Order it now.

Qty:1

Given that my S20 and S20u need to be at USPS before May 16th, i probably will end up getting something else altogether. This sucks
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] gaww:
You may be should check and see when OnePlus may have them again if early enough.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] masri1987:
thing is, nobody knows when, and their notify me system has never notified me lol
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] gaww:
Yeah - I checked and got lucky. They sent email which would have been 4 hours too late.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] bkrickles:
It must be your location. When I click it I also see may 16 but I see may 18 as my delivery date.

I got notified too for the phone and the case

I'm in Honolulu, I can order anything off of amazon right now and get it under 2 weeks without prime.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] metawave:
For those who have got the OP8 pro, how curved is the screen? is it more than the Oneplus 7t pro and as prominent as the S10 series? I watch a lot of netflix on my phone and dont want too much of a curved screen.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] cultofluna:
Pixel comes probably with a midrange SOC this year..
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] bkrickles:
I'm curious if anyone knows the difference between the 8 pro offered from Amazon and the one offered on Oneplus.

I know it says "alexa built in" but you have to download the alexa app to get it to function.

Other than that, are there any differences that matter?
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] gaww:
The problem us Amazon gives no info on specifications - especially bands. I would guess it in the US version with a pre-installed Alexa, but no way to tell.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Raqia:
I got mine this today and I am going to try and root it before I do anything on it.

Edit: Well I unlocked it, started setting up the phone and then noticed that there is a pink line that shows up when ever I open a white screen. It starts off unnoticeable and over time gets so bright its the only thing I can notice. I am going to return the phone. I even paid extra for quick shipping. This sucks.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] arsenal74:
I love this phone but mine is going back today, posted in another thread I have burn in on the status bar after 5 days use. I weighed up living with it as I really like it but iut has to go back. None in stock now so unsure whether to order another and wait or go with something else. I am wondering if the 10 bit display maybe has some teething problems and that is why Samsung stuck with 8 bit on it's own devices?
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] nathlynn22:
It's such a shame. In the UK what other phones are out there really.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] arsenal74:
It is a shame that Huawei have fallen out with Trump as the P40 pro looks amazing. For me it is either maybe give the ultra a try or go back to a 2019 flagship (The P30 pro is still a great phone IMO) I do have a 4XL so may just stick with that but the lack of a wider Face ID support especially on my banking apps makes it frustrating to use.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] nathlynn22:
The Pixel 4XL definitely didnt do it for me. Not getting another Samsung At the moment and definitely when they keep using Exynos chips. Same issue with Huawei. If we have same issues with the new phones we get we will have to stick with our current phones and see what happens in the future.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] cultofluna:
But the pixel 4xl is at the same level as the 8 pro...

Except is really ugly...

90hz display , one of the best cameras out there , the best android experience ( direct from mother Google), the most customizable google assistant, etc etc...
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] arsenal74:
The 4XL is a great phone but it does fall short for me, I find I enjoy using it initially and then the annoyances bug me. 128gb storage limit ( I knew that going in so my fault) the screen actually feels a little small vs. say an S20+ and certainly the OP8 pro and is also quite dull, the lack of wide adoption for face id means I am often typing in a password and whilst it has not fallen from the same ugly tree as the 3XL it is still an aquired taste! I also think other than the lack of an always on display that Oxygen OS is the best android experience, YMMV.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] bkrickles:
I have to agree with the others.

I've had a 4xl since launch and it's a good phone but not a great phone (except for the camera, which is top shelf except there's no wide angle lense). I'll miss that camera but it sounds like the 8 pro camera is only a little behind, but it has wide angle and what appears to be great macro zoom.

I just don't think the 4xl is as smooth or fast as it should be. I expect that the 8 pro will be smoother and faster and it will be a noticeable difference.

The display on the 4xl is good too, but the 8 pro should be a clear step above. And it seems that the 8 pro will have great brightness for sunny days which has been improved on the 4xl but it's still not great.

Well, I'm going to find out sometime on Monday as my device is currently in Jersey and well on its way to me.

And now that the verizon issue seems to be rectified, I should have a fun unboxing and setup experience.

Also, I just read that the one feature that I was going to miss, AOD, will be included with launch of Oxygen os 11 within the next 6 months and hopefully sooner.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Raqia:
So I contacted support about my phone and this is what they had to say. This is bad support.

Hi *****,

Thank you for contacting OnePlus Customer Support.

We appreciate your time and effort invested in contacting us.

I understand you are facing discoloration issue with your brand new device. Please know we value your genuine sentiments, this is not what we want our customers to experience. I will surely assist you with your query.

OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro comes with a 90Hz AMOLED screen. Under specific circumstances of extreme low light, a slight display discoloration may occur due to the properties of the AMOLED display. This is not a quality issue and will not affect daily usage or the durability of the screen. OnePlus will continue to look into cutting-edge display technologies and strive to deliver the best user experience possible.

If you facing the issue very frequently, then I request you to go to settings >>system >>updates >> please check if there is any OTA update available. Update your device to the latest version where the issue will be fixed.

Please turn on the DC dimming and turn off once.

Please let us know if you have any other questions.

Regards,

*****

#NEVER SETTLE
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] mahst68:
Couple items to mention in this discussion:

1. The OnePlus 8 Pro's directly sold by Amazon are no different (in US) then the ones sold by OnePlus directly. It's a partnership due to the Alexa Built-In feaure. At any rate, I think you stand a better chance of getting one from OnePlus quicker.

2. The screen on the OnePlus 8 Pro is 120hz refresh and only 90hz on the OnePlus 8. Both have a current issue with greening and black crush. OnePlus has officially said that they will issue a patch to fix these items. I have one... it basically happens either in real low light conditions (black crush) or really bright conditions (screen @ full brightness, greening). It also depends on your settings as well like dc dimming, your picked refresh rate, color scheme, pixel density... so to me it's not this big deal... they'll fix it, end of story

3. As of current in US and Canada, dual sim is built in but is not available until a patch via OTA is done.... no real reasons as to why from OnePlus, the speculation is some bug with 5G and dual sim... Could be a secret carrier request... whatever

4. This phone is better IMO then the S20 Ultra I had... it feels as though it is a "more finished" phone then the S20 Ultra. Truly, that is the comparison. About $500 difference (MSRP, not offers) Jon Rettinger on youtube gave a good review on how to "look" @ the OnePlus 8 Pro in the market:

https://youtu.be/QXPh7CHzURM

5. It's not that its more expensive and OnePlus made a flagship costing phone... they did but that is what everyone wanted... Best in class wireless charging (it's truly fantastic), IP rating (everyone wanted this... I mean who says let's put $900+ piece of electronics underwater, seems stupid, but its there), 5G snapdragon (truly whats driving the cost), 12GB DDR5 RAM (in my case), 256GB Fast Storage... yeah, the camera still lacks in some respects... but its great in most cases... they did do some work here to make it better without asking for another $200-$300 for a gimmick zoom or something else.

It checks a lot of boxes for me... plus its has Oxygen OS, probably only second to pixel OS...

Lastly, OnePlus doesn't look like they will abandon you after 2 years of support... like Samsung. I'm glad i made the switch...

Find X2 pro. I'm in USA, so not a great option for me but should be good for you in USA. Very similar to 1+, more expensive, better zoom, smaller battery, no wireless. And of course no screen issues.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] arsenal74:
Same screen potentially as the OP8 so I'd be cautious there.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Pr20:
Fair point. In fact there is not much information available on find x2 pro. You wouldn't even be able to know if there is any screen issues with it. But then again if it is a software thing with 1+ maybe not an issue with find x2 pro

[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] mickliq:
I'm very tempted (read: I will probably take the plunge!). I have a Galaxy S10+ which I really enjoy & wasn't trading for the S20 series (not worth the silly $ for marginal upgrades, even though I'm a phone ho). The 1+ 8 Pro seems to be a more reasonable alternative in that I don't have to give up some things I really like about the S10+ (namely, optical zoom, wireless charging and reverse wireless charging). Question as others have raised, is quality of the photos ...will I actually be able to tell the difference?!
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] themrmotivator:
I am. I Have a HTC U11 plus. Had it since Nov 2018.

Feels very old compared to today's phones. I bought a OnePlus one when no one had heard of them. I really liked that phone. It's still going, mother in law has it. Really excited for the pro model
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] jericho246:
Don't know yet. My LG G8 has sub par battery life so I would like something better. I have my eyes set on the OnePlus 8 Pro and the Oppo Find X2 Pro. I guess I'll wait for the OnePlus official announcement next week to see the price and then decide. hopefully it'll be cheaper than the Find X2 Pro.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] dlads:
Anyone know what uk carriers will be supplying it?

When I was trying to find out where my (now cancelled) S20 ultra, I asked about the OnePlus 8 and If they're going to get it, she said yes, but she did sound like her IQ was below 50 so couldn't be sure.

Does anyone know who may be?

O2 won't

EE might as they had the 7

Three might as they had the 7

Vodafone won't

From yesterday's leaks it looks like the two Pro models will be just a little over $900 and $1000.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] borijess:
They will lose a ton of business pricing them that high. With all that's going on with economy and Samsung phones not selling. It will be a mistake.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] x111:
definitely oneplus 8 pro, as soon as custom rom is available, particularly havoc rom.

until than this phone is completely useless piece of hardware !!

nonsense,

and oneplus is garbage without proper software !!

anything that does not even have root rights is automatically trash !!

[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Batfink33:
It won't sell at these prices in the current world crisis. I'm guessing they will reduce the price quite quickly.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] borijess:
I agree price will need to drop or they will surprise us next week. They do not have the clout like apple and Samsung to put out 1000 dollar phones. Look what happen to LG when they try and put out 1000 phones. Yeah it's lg but it's better know than ONEPLUS and I love OnePlus phones.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Batfink33:
I'd go as much as €700 but definitely not €900 (cheapest Pro model). Everything is too uncertain at the moment financially and my 7Pro is more than capable for another year. OP just can't compete (advertising and brand name) with the big companies like Samsung and Apple and even they will struggle this year.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] borijess:
Agree my OnePlus 7 pro is looking better now that price is 1000
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] dlads:
? That's actual BS!! What are you smoking mate?

Even unrooted it's so close to pure android with a tonne of mods that don't come with vanilla android.

Probably gonna return my S20U G9880 for it
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] rickysidhu_:
I'm most likely getting one after feeling disappointed with my Pixel 4 XL.

Battery life isn't that great, and for a company as massive as Google, their customer support is quite incompetent.

The only thing this device has going for it is the camera in my opinion. Everything else feels mediocre. The motion sense is definitely pretty gimmicky as well. I do enjoy face unlock, though.

The screen and battery size, along with wireless charging has most likely sold me on the 8 Pro. The only thing I'm waiting for is to see how the camera quality is. I'd rather not resort to GCam mods so hopefully the OOS camera software and hardware at least, come close to the Pixel camera and I'll be happy.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] spotmark:
A couple more camera samples.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] bkrickles:
Looks good.

I haven't had an opportunity yet for camera testing but I'm hopeful it's not a big drop from the 4xl.

I'm about to list my 4xl with 5 or 6 cases so I'll need to take some photos for that and I should get a chance to mess around outside today after I get home from the office.

It's a beautiful phone. It's smooth, fast, and the display is insane compared to the 4xl.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] spotmark:
Overall, I'm happy with the camera. My biggest complaint is the WiFi range. It doesn't seem to be very good. I do like the phone and plan on keeping it. On a side note, the wife noticed I got a new phone this weekend. I took a little heat. :o
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] gaww:
Over only $1000....?
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] bkrickles:
Lmfao! Me too. Of course, my 20 year old daughter noticed within seconds and couldn't wait to tell my wife.

She wanted to know what I was doing with my old (6 month old) 4xl and I told her I was selling it online. She immediately shot back, "what happens if no one buys it". I immediately said it would be no problem. Lol.

With regards to wifi, I'm having the opposite result. My wifi in my house is stronger and the range is better. I'm getting faster speeds in every location I've checked and I do check with the wifi analyzer app I use.

I'm thinking it may have to do with the fact that the phone has the newest wifi technology (wifi 6) and I just upgraded in February to Verizon Fios's newest router. The G3100, which came out in December, also has the newest technology. I'm connecting with 5ghz everywhere in my house now, including my basement, and with the 4xl I was only connecting with 2.4ghz in the basement. My router is on the 2nd floor in my office so there's a little distance there.

If it's not that, then I don't know why my results are different.

I've had the 8 pro since Friday and I don't have any of the issues mentioned there. At least I haven't seen them yet.

The display is ridiculous. The best I've ever seen.

I have no lag or stuttering, my wifi is improved over my google 4xl and it's just freakin gorgeous.

And there's been 2 updates since I received the phone so it seems oneplus is responsive.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] chetly968:
Been trying to get my hands on this phone for almost 3 weeks now. Had it in my cart on two separate occasions but didn't go through as I tried to checkout. Finally just ordered the thing on Amazon but still another two weeks away. Whatever. I'll have it eventually. Getting frustrated, lol.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] masri1987:
so my amazon order is still in the cart, and i ordered a pixel 4 xl since it's 599 right now for 128gb

In your opinion, how do you rate your experience thus far?

Is the edge screen troublesome?
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] spotmark:
The screen is no problem. I've gotten used to it and don't seem to have any accidental touches. I think the case helps. I like the phone and am happy with my purchase.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] bkrickles:
Totally agree.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] arsenal74:
My daughter can smell a new phone at 50 yards! Luckily she is an iSheep so never any questions about her having the outgoing device.

I just returned my OP8 Pro, Other than accidental touches I really liked it but I had status bar burn in after 4 or 5 days. As I have been mostly indoors on mid to low brightness this was worrying, it also had quite noticeable temporary retention too, faded after a few minutes but was easily seen when switching to say a lighter screen.

It was with a heavy heart that I returned it as there were no replacements in stock to try, having done some reading though there is some speculation that being the first itreration of a 10 bit display could be leading to some quirks, maybe it is no accident that Samsung stuck with 8 bit panels on the S20s?
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Nosferatu.:
Out of the box, yes. After the first OOS update that was pushed out, nope. None since. They somehow tuned it good in software that it's just about a non-issue. :good:
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] vyp54:
I have Oneplus 3 since 2016 and haven't had a need to upgrade yet. Decided to do it this year since I need a waterproof phone. Got my eyes set on Oppo Find X2 Pro but was disgusted with the pricing. 1200€ for an Oppo? Yeah, no way. Huawei at least gives you a free smartwatch (and even wireless earphones in some markets) for that price. Seems to me that Oneplus tends to go all harakiri with these leaked prices just like Oppo.

I'd opt for P40 Pro if there was any development going around. Seems to me that Oneplus will still remain a hit within the development community but not in hell am I gonna pay 1000€ for it and the regular 8 is just a 7 with an upgraded processor. -.-
