I'm not spamming dude you honestly are writing like you're drunk or something, your grammar and attitude suggests so.

Reason being is that you are talking in absolutes and it's a subjective matter which people will disagree with you on or agree hence the fact that I got a thumbs up as did you.

Either way it doesn't matter.

Personally I'd always go for a phone that I can root and install a custom ROM on yes your are not alone in rooting, who knew? My history is as long as android is old as you can see from my device list.

Thing is we're both looking to get the oneplus 8 pro otherwise why are we here.

So let's wait for the phone and see.

I'm looking forward to the device both rooted and unrooted I think stock software has come a long way on its journey

---------- Post added at 11:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:44 AM ----------

Coming from the Huawei P20 Pro. There is a lot to like but development is gone and Huawei are still seeing growth in their phones being sold so that decision will not be reversed, if root / custom ROMs are for you then I would avoid any Huawei/Honor device like the plague.

Camera is great, stock software is not.

The oppo I've looked into, superb phone but the price for an oppo is quite high, could possibly show what the OnePlus 8 pro will be priced at as it has loosely in the past, for me the OnePlus is probably the way to go.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] spotmark:
I don't understand the hubbub about the price. Is it because OnePlus has never gone hog wild before? The specs on this phone should have been a dead giveaway that it wasn't going to be cheap. This could very well be the phone that puts the name OnePlus on everybody's lips.

Do we know if it will be dual sim in Europe too?
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] johanveld:
In the Netherlands all OnePlus phones that came out are dual SIM. So I am expecting the OnePlus 8 series will be too.

It will be a deal breaker for me if it's not. I will be getting the OnePlus 8 pro to replace my old 5t.

I use a dual SIM because of my work number. By boss gives me unlimited data and my own subscription is the cheapest I could find at 2.50 euro a month. I only use it for calling and WhatsApp. If I would Carry 2 phones I would need a bigger subscription with 20 gb data. That would cost me around 24 per month. The money I save I can now use for a more expensive phone.

So, yes OnePlus 8 pro could NOT be so expensive!

Where are you getting your pricing information? It looks a little cheaper than the comparable 8 Pro, but not much. https://www.amazon.de/dp/B086RB6RNL?tag=gsmarena0ca-21&linkCode=osi&th=1&psc=1
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Dabarr:
He seems to be right though. You can already order it from importers for a very low price. See here for example: https://www.cect-shop.com/de/nubia-red-magic-5g.html

Interesting, but I think I'll stick with a name I know. I hope OnePlus let's us order after the launch presentation.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] jericho246:
Why are people surprised about the pricing? The OP 8 Pro is basically a rebranded Oppo Find X2 Pro and cheaper, too. The Global model of the X2 Pro is 1.199,00 Euro, although it does have a bigger storage capacity and more RAM (512GB ROM/12 GB RAM). Currently it can only be purchased in Netherlands. Rest of Europe will get a release in may. As for the Chinese model of the X2 Pro, it can be purchased at 927€ at Trading Shenzhen dot com. It has 12 gigs of RAM, just like the global version, but less internal memory storage (256 GB).

So not really sure why people are so surprised about the OP 8 Pro price...
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Dabarr:
Yes, same here for now

Although, I am watching competition closely. Especially realme. What I'm really disappointed about is warp charge 30 only, while most other Chinese companies go with 50 and above. I am still hoping for "one more thing" today and maybe be surprised by a faster charging.

I have ordered the blind box and it should arrive tomorrow or the day after. Here in Germany, they will sell it right away in a pop up event after today's presentation.

Well, I see I can pre-order tomorrow. That will satiate me a little. After looking at the blue, it may be a bit to vibrant for me. Since I want the larger RAM, looks like I'll be going with the black.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] borijess:
Think about it. Person goes into Verizon store and sees the same exact looking phone called the galaxy s10 or s20. Unless you are a OnePlus fan which I am. Most customers will chose Samsung over OnePlus.

Again, I have to disagree. Like I said, I think this will be a breakout phone for OnePlus. The Verizon partnership will get the name out there more, more people will discover it, and more people will buy it.

In this economy more and more people are looking less to spend. Look at the galaxy s20 sales numbers. Way below then what they expected. Samsung phones pricing will drop a ton over the next couple of months while OnePlus will not.

Okaaaayyyyyyy. I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree. Enjoy whatever you decide to go with. I look forward to getting my first OnePlus. The 256gb 8 Pro.

Doesn't look like they offer it in that configuration here in the US. Only 8gb/128gb and 12gb/256gb.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] The G Dept.:
hahaha and there I was thinking I would finally ditch Samsung because their price got insanely high.

CA$1549 (+tx??) for the OnePlus 8 Pro that doesn't even include a freebie for pre-ordering? Well, hell no. I'll keep my S8+ with a broken glass. I'm not rich and yet I was so ready to give OP $1000, but not $1500+, forget about it. They're making fun of us, this is nonsense.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] xgerryx:
They did a lot of ****ty things with this launch. Among them:

The base model only comes in green

The base model doesn't ship for 13 days after the higher end model does

You need OPs wireless charger to get the 30W wireless charging, without it, it's 5 Watts.

You can't switch from 120hz to 90, only down to 60hz.

Even at $900 the base model is MORE than an S20 plus on Swappa mint or resale.

I'm pretty disappointed. Also, how are people actually preordering this? I'm only getting a notify button? I wanted to see what it looked like at checkout.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] jaseman:
Oh well, I've had 2 OnePlus phones now...but NO MORE! I will "Never Settle" for what is being offered here. Now they want your first born in exchange for a phone... just like the other insane losers selling phones... and they STILL put curved glass on the front, with a hole punch, and no headphone jack. (Don't tell me the headphone jack is obsolete because it is NOT)

SO I guess I'll keep my 7 Pro for a little while longer and see what is yet to come.

I really hope these stupid companies start to fail so that they will listen to those who buy their products. Maybe we will finally get what we want, not what they say we want. My money, my choice, their fail.

US pre-ordering starts tomorrow.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] TikiThePug:
Agree with you, fellow Canadian. Even for the top tier OnePlus 8 Pro, it's $999 USD, which should translate to ~$1389 CAD, not $1549 CAD. Yes, there probably is extra import charge for Canada, but we also have to pay tax on top of it, so why would I pay $1750 for that... Also, their strategy for giving an ugly green colour as the only choice for the base model is not going to go well for them.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] xgerryx:
It starts tomorrow for the $1000 pro model, not the base model. It starts April 29th for that model, as per their website. Not sure what you're peddling on here with your insane positive comments or who paid you to do that, but it's really a little much.

Geez, I made a mistake, don't get your panties in a bunch.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] vyp54:
Oneplus did lose me for this one. First the price - it is too much, sorry. ZTE (nubia) red magic 5g isn't a design masterpiece but maaaan it is way cheaper than this rebranded Find X2 Pro (which is also insanely expensive). And the most ****ty thing to do is to give out the basic pro option (8/128) only in that hippy green crap. If you want a normal black phone you need to opt out for the 12/256 option. There is no person in the world who needs 12GB RAM on a phone.

Never settle for the crap they've become. Also we need a new flagship killer that will kill their 8 series. -.-

Few days left :victory: ... hope this will send my Snapdragon Note 10+ in holidays ...
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] AhsanU:
I'm pretty torn on the OnePlus 8 Pro. Each year, I buy a Samsung phone and say "ugh, Touchwiz", or, more recently, "ugh, OneUI". However, OneUI 2.0 isn't so bad with theming options (can make my phone look like stock Android) and I'm just not sure what the benefits of the OnePlus 8 Pro would be over my S20 Ultra.

The whole 1080p vs. 1440p doesn't matter to me, and neither does the extremely fast wireless charging. What does concern me is the edges of the phone. One thing I love about the S20 Ultra is the fact that the edges are so much better than the Note 10 or the S10. There are so many fewer accidental touches and what not. I do recall the OnePlus 7 Pro that I had was plagued with that issue - is it still the same on the OnePlus 8 Pro? I'd love to go in person and try the phone but.. you know - coronavirus.

I haven't gotten a concrete answer on that matter. Does anyone know how sharp the edges are or how similar it is to the S20 Ultra? Cheers.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] null0seven:
I am talking about they have almost the same specifications with 580 $ US and Oneplus price for 8 pro 799 $ US. The one with less ram and rom.

A LITTLE ?!? 220$ US ?
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Batfink33:
You might need 12gb of RAM in a couple of years.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] spotmark:
I didn't see those discounted prices. I agree 220 is not insignificant. However, I think the design and specs of the Pro 8 certainly justify the price. Yes, there are cheaper phones, but there are also more expensive ones. I will happily be preordering mine tomorrow.

Too late OnePlus. I've just got the Oppo Find X2 Pro and I love it.

[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] force70:
i have the same issue with this one that I always do, the dummies at OP refuse to either offer expandable storage or more internal storage.

256gb is simply not enough for me.

$1550 plus tax CAN is also really pushing the envelope for price on a OP device though very hard to swallow that number when the 512 gb S20 ultra isnt much more.

so unfortunately this is a no go for me.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] masri1987:
The camera fiasco on the s20u alone makes me wanna jump ship.. already started my return process too.

The p4xl is 699 right now for 128gb but that's not enough storage for me either.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] xgerryx:
Still trying to sift through what is and isn't happening with this phone and when. Verge (lol) released this article earlier with the clearest information yet but it doesn't blend with the OP site right now in terms of the pre order.

OP has the "launch day bundle" of the wireless charger and earbuds for free, but you can't preorder it yet, and according to their site, can't preorder the base model for 15 days. So do you get the bundle for free when you order it in 15 days? If the Verge article says you can buy them April 22nd, why would the OP site say 15 days on the base model option? Does anyone have real info to share in terms of US availability?

I feel like they are really screwing up this launch with vague information.

[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] OhioYJ:
Thats fine and all, but you can hardly say the 7T got much community development support. Theres a couple ROMs, but it's basically a ghost town over there in that forum. OnePlus doesnt have a great price anymore (dont misunderstand Im not saying its not a fair price), the camera is ok, and performance is ok. Phones have gotten so good that if you buy a decent phone it will be fine anyways. So for me the biggest selling factor is the development community and being able to run the software I want to run, so I have to find a device thag has good community support.

I'm kind of at the point where I'm fine with stock as long as I can theme and block ads. I know there are ad blockers that don't require root, but they slow down the browser too much.

[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] vyp54:
I am also looking into buying a phone that can be modified. Huawei P40 or Honor 30 won't go because of the bootloader. Oppo Find X2 won't go because of the bootloader. Samsung won't go as well. What can you get that you can root other than Oneplus? Xiaomi, Realme would work for me if they had proper screens and wateproofing.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] xgerryx:
The fact that there is no TWRP is pretty shocking. Admittedly I have not paid much attention to the 7t situation since it still works on my 6t, but that causes a lot of problems for me. You would need a computer to flash most anything unless you flashed through Magisk. Magisk will still work but it seems like safety net might break the magisk hide aspect of it so I would assume the only way to get into your apps is to restore with Titanium Backup...or root after you sign in to those apps.

The VPN-based adblock programs are really poor and without Adaway I would be a lot less happy with my phone, no matter which one it was. Hopefully TWRP figures a way around this at some point. No recovery is the definitely of NOT dev friendly. No need to defend the indefensible, it is what it is.

I ordered one in the Netherlands. The price is a bit too much. But I liked my current 5t so much that I see myself willing to pay a premium for a better phone that gives me the same experience in using it. After all this is a device I will be using for around 5 hour's a day in the next 2 years.

Used the stock oxygen os beta most of the time I had the 5t After the beta ended in june I switched to pixel experience. So I hope that rom will be on the new OnePlus 8 series. If that doesn't happen i am happy on stock anyway.

Rooting and modding Android is getting less rewarding and more of an annoyance now. I wouldnt be surprised if in a year or two all phone are pretty much un moddable or not worth the hassle because of increased security and manufacturers locking them down/widevine etc.
