[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Raqia:
I have a Samsung S8 and have always hated the fact that it is locked down. The Android Auto does not work with my Car and from that I understand this is a common problem with this generation of the phone. I want to upgrade, but refuse to take a step down in specs. So I am left with limited options. The latest Samsung that is also locked down so that's out. The Red Magic 5g, but that's gameray and I am not sure what level of modding it will allow. So all that is left is the OnePlug 8. The tough part for me is be deciding if I want the 8 or 8 pro. Cameras are not that big of a deal to me. I plan to give my old phone to my sister that has a truly ancient iPhone, so I don't feel bad about getting rid of my old perfectly working phone. I have never owned a oneplus, and I don't care about the older models. I live in Canada so I have to wait until April 29th before I can order one.

Does anyone know how modable this phone will be? And would there likely be any difference as far as moding goes between the 8 and 8 pro?
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Batfink33:
You'll be able to easily unlock the bootloader and root it but there might not be any TWRP because of the dynamic partition. You'll have to flash everything through fastboot.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Raqia:
Thanks! It has been a long time since I rooted a phone, but I am no stranger to tinkering so I look forward it it.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] old_fart:
Tried to buy one a couple daze ago and was a minute too late.

Looked at a dozen (plus) youtube early/insubstantial reviews and melted them all down to one big blob in my frontal lobe. I understand the $230 bump and see why they think there's justification. In my humble opinion, the 8 pro is a leap phone compared to the ones that came before it. They had to ? The flagship killer is dead. Who is the new killer ? Realme, -300.00 ? Who wants to buy my old one ?
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] ct_tec313:
No no and no....no native wifi calling on Verizon then no buy??
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] arsenal74:
Honestly do not like the colour options in the UK. I'd want the 256gb model and would much rather have the blue than that green.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] cultofluna:
But anyway you'll never gonna see the back of the phone...

Use it anyway with s case...
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] arsenal74:
Other than certain circumstances (usually where alcohol will be taken) I do not use a case.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] cultofluna:
Without case?..

And if it drops or scratches on the corners?..
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Incarniac:
After always using a case on all my phones, I made the mistake of trying to go without one with my S8+ a few years back, but phones are so slippery these days - it slipped out of my pockets onto concrete and needless to say the screen cracked pretty badly. I don't drop my phone often, but it does happen on occasion, so my lesson was learnt - it takes very little to damage phones these days ;)
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] arsenal74:
Yeah, I accept that I will acrue some battle scars along the way but I just want to enjoy them as nature intended. I am lucky that I do not do manual work too.

I have had some mishaps but mostly just scuffed edges (which really irritates me when it happens!) but I have just got in the habit of being really careful. I do not do screen protectors either! In some ways cases do not help, especially flip ones that are notorious for trapping grit and scratching screens.

I have had a good run over the last year so am due one soon I guess!
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] carisim:
i bought the phone 3 days ago from a german webisite. now before they ship the phone they are telling me that i will not get a wireless charger anymore. out of stock.

**** this
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] spotmark:
I have flip-flopped so much on this phone. I still can't decide if I'm going to buy one. I love the design, and it sounds like the screen is phenomenal in both display and performance. I don't mind the lack of WiFi calling on VZW as I use Google Voice exclusively for this exact reason. However, after owning Pixels for some time now, I don't know if I want to give up the camera and the free full resolution storage on Google Photos. I'm sure the 8 Pro camera is capable, but the pictures I've seen make me still prefer my 3 XL.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] pro4ever:
Been contemplating have a 7 pro worth upgrade to 8 pro ???
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Poloasis:
All up to you, I have the 7 Pro and I'm getting my 8 pro tomorrow. One reason is that I'm passing it to my wife replacing her 3 years old S9.

You'll be getting a better bigger screen, faster chipset, wireless charging, IP68 cert. If this means something to you, then yes get it. Most importantly it will will brake the bank ;)
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] arsenal74:
The camera looks to be an upgrade but honestly I do prefer the design (and colours) for the 7/7t Pro. I'd also I think favour the standard OP8 but for the older camera tech.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] pro4ever:
Love my tech and normally i never keep a phone more than 6 months but is it worth £400 more . as i can sell my pro for £400
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] pbman1953:
I just noticed that OP just listed the 7T on the trade in list. The price they're offering equals my balance so I may go for an 8 Plus.

My question is- would I notice the difference going from 8GB to 12GB?

Thanks
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Cyph3r92:
Most likely not, but for the small price increase and double the storage, it's probably worth it if you keep your phone for 2+ years.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] dlads:
Guess your aren't getting it then? Lol why bash it?

I got it on contract today and it's worth more than the ultra, it is a beast of a phone. End of story
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Nosferatu.:
Just got mine today. I can't even look at my 6T's display anymore my goodness 60Hz is laggy. Anyone contemplating the phone I suggest get it. It's awesome. :)
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] vyp54:
Still waiting for the Croatian providers to move their laggy asses. If the contract deal gets me a better price I might consider.

How much did the phone come out for you with the contract? Guessing it's a 2 year contract.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] 2015Ducatimulti:
I received mine yesterday and it's awesome, everything works great, only thing I`m missing from my Note 10+ 5g is the AOD, other than that I`m very happy camper!!
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] pbman1953:
Are there any new buyers, that received yours, are coming from a 7t?

And if so, are you saying, wow I'm glad I did this or it's not that much better.

I have a 7T and I;m on the fence

Thanks!

Well, I managed to get my order in for the bundle today. It ships by tomorrow. I'll decide if I'm keeping it after I use it for a week or so.

I missed it also - thought I was fully set up with OnePlus but wasn't.

Yep, a few seconds and Houdini! LOL
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] droidrev71:
I was able to order the blue one. Hit refresh two mins prior to it going live and the free charger and buds popped up as an option. Then the notify turned to add to cart and clicked instantly. Guess just like others it's just a matter of luck. Sad they can't stock up enough to fill more orders!
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] spotmark:
Just got my shipping notice. It's scheduled for delivery on Friday.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] bkrickles:
You're a lucky dog. I tried at 12 and had it in my cart and poof, it was sold out.

Kind of bummed, but I'll try again when it gets back in stock.

Let us know how you like it. It sounds freaking awesome, which is why I'm willing to replace my 4xl so soon after buying it.

Me too - just got my shipping notice - arriving Friday. I guess it is more luck than skill... :);)
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] spotmark:
Same thing happened to me last week. I was pissed. Got lucky today.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] xgerryx:
I was able to get mine as well. In Black no less. Should be here Monday. I did have a system today though. I had multiple people trying to get one for me (if any extra were ordered they were going to be immediately cancelled, no extras were though), and I had several tabs open ready to go through the process. I hit on one of them.

Cannot be understated how badly they handled this though. Pissing people off while they pay DOUBLE what they paid for a 5t is really not the way to do this.

They should have either not done the limited thing at all or sent 2000 of them out randomly and released all phones on the 15th.

Obviously they have them all produced. Mine is shipping from CA so they already have thousands at City of Industry. It's nothing but dirty marketing.

Also as a note: check your screens the second you get your phones for that green tint problem and don't abandon your current phone as fast as you normally would. Jury is still out as to whether its a widespread issue for not.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] spotmark:
Oh, I definitely plan on that. Even though I was originally gung ho on this phone, since I've had time to see reviews and camera samples, I'm reserving judgement until I have it in my hands. I'm not giving up my Pixel 3 XL until I decide for myself. If the 8 Pro doesn't have the screen deficiencies that some have reported, and the pictures are decent, I'll probably use it until at least the Pixel 5 XL comes out. If Google doesn't do a full screen with 5 XL, punch hole, teardrop, etc, I'm going to be disappointed.

Wife got her Oynx Black today. I'm getting my Glacial Green tomorrow
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] gaww:
You are right - if they are going to sell $1000 devices now, they will have to become way more professional then their current "Ted Mack's amateur hour" .

I had a chat with one of their staff - he was clueless except that there were a lot of pissed off people.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] 2015Ducatimulti:
I got my first OP8 Pro yesterday, and wasn`t able to get the the bundle last week, I was only able to get the phone only ordered last week, so today as the clock struck 12 I was able to get another one order but with the free wireless charger and buds, so I got the ship email from oneplus around 4:55 est today and this one is coming from California, the one I received from oneplus yesterday came from new jersey, which all of my othe OP orders have always came from, thought it was weird it was coming from California to Michigan, says it should be here Friday as long it get picked up by fedex today.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] masri1987:
Dirty marketing is right

For the second time in a week, I woke up 5 minutes prior to it going on sale, got signed in before the stroke of noon EST, added to cart the black one and blue one go to check out within the first minute of the hour and both were out of stock.

I don't understand how this is even legitimate

I'm gonna wait and buy it through Amazon, so I never have to deal with OP directly
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] galaxys:
Same here, Amazon for me as well!

Not sure where you are, but Amazon US only has BS offers - stay away.

If in Europe - sounds OK.

No, S20 is going. Exynos is a mess this year, Samsung should really be ashamed.

Getting her all set up. The screen is beautiful, and so far, no green or black tint.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] bkrickles:
I want to hear more. Especially comparisons to pixel 3xl as I had 3xl and now have 4xl. I plan on ordering on 29th after getting locked out the other day.

TIA
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] spotmark:
Son of a...... Yeah, I got her all set up, but I forgot to unlock the bootloader first. Now I get to do it all over.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] arsenal74:
Mine arrived yesterday so all set up. I like the green more than I expected to, it is very nice. It does not feel as bulky in the hand as the 7 pro either.

Performance is awesome as expected, the screen is terrific and so far the camera seems good too no Samsung esque blurring of anything that even thinks about moving. The only negative has been the FPS have had to remove and re-add a few times as it just seems to stop recognising, it’s ok right now but it’s definitely not as fast or reliable as the 2 7 pros I had or maybe mine is faulty?

Overall once they add the always on display this thing will pretty much tick all of my boxes.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] bkrickles:
So now someone mentioned elsewhere that oneplus no longer shows support on their website for Verizon. I've seen where people who activate with Verizon can't receive sms.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] gaww:
Haha - I can relate but not sympathize with you as I did that with my 7t Mclearan 5G. I was learning things the hard way, but it's much simpler here. Unlocking bootloader will always wipe - good luck going forward.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] crzycrkr:
I wanted the green so bad, but had to settle for the blue in the US because they didn't have the 12gb in green. Looked so nice
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] masri1987:
Yes please tell us everything , give us your own review and camera sample photos plz

Ya ill be getting the green for my girl but imma go onyx black or the blue honestly, which one y'all prefer?
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] crzycrkr:
I couldn't go black. After having the blue 7 pro, I love the satin finish. If the black was satin I would have gone that route
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] masri1987:
Ya , i'm torn between the two
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] arsenal74:
Thing is, if they had the blue in the UK I probably would have chosen it!

If you use a good case, I don't think the color of the phone matters.

annnnd? photos? are you on 10.5.5?
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] spotmark:
Here's just a quick one for you. I'll post more in the appropriate thread as I take them. Yes, running a rooted 10.5.5.

This is my first curved screen phone. I love the feature on my TV, but I'm not so sure about it on my phone. It's going to take some getting used to. Overall, I'm enjoying the phone. The screen is to die for and performance is excellent.

I'm a Verizon customer so I am affected by the not receiving texts bug, but since I use Google Voice for messaging and calls, I get my texts and also have WiFi Calling.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] bkrickles:
Very cute dog and pic looks pretty good.

I know the 8 pro camera won't match my 4xl but it has been looking good on the various reviews and video looks to be better than the google phones.

It appears the verizon issue is something that will work itself out and won't prevent me from ordering on Wednesday.

I know I'm getting the blue with the larger memory/capacity, but undecided whether to purchase from oneplus or amazon.

I'll see what pops up over the next couple of days and then make a decision.

Please keep us updated on your experience.

TIA and stay safe!

Good to hear,

how are you happy with the photos?

Also,

Is there an advantage or disadvantage in regards to buying from T-Mobile instead of OP directly?

I'll be paying full price anyway
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Reuben_skelz92:
Quite like this pic
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] gaww:
I had a hell of a time getting anything to work (unlocked bootloader, rooting, updates) on TMo . That is partly why it will be in eBay soon and I will be getting 8 Pro. It's not available from TMo - only the 8 is, but unless you are not going to do anything like above or flashing other developments, don't go near TMo device.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Nosferatu.:
Ouch on the car!!! They're replaceable humans aren't so as long as your kid is okay that's all that matters!!! :good:

Anyways, it was me who started the picture thread but it didn't get much traction. so I'll just throw two up here real fast. I just installed UltraCAM and under low lighting I think it's better than the OP8 Pro Stock camera. Left is GCam right is OP8 app. I think there's better lighting on GCam.

Just enjoying my wine and side hobby (headphones)...:silly:

[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] bkrickles:
So this morning I went to oneplus website and it said oneplus 8 pro available in like 18 hours.

Now, I just looked and it says 2 days.

WTF!
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] spotmark:
Just saw that myself. Was looking to get the wife the 8 in the Interstellar Glow.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] bkrickles:
As much as I want the 8 Pro, and I still really want it, it's beginning to turn into a somewhat negative experience.

First it was the sketchy pre launches where I was prepared at exactly 12 and couldn't get a device or the accessories. This wasn't a big deal as it gave me time to prepare as I'll be selling my 4 xl after receiving the 1+ 8 pro.

Then there is the Verizon issue. It sounds like it will get resolved, but who knows when. And I was still prepared to stay up until midnight tonight and order the 8 pro from amazon or 1+.

Now, there appears to be a delay of 2 days and I'm getting annoyed.

Lmao. Such 3rd world problems.

Anyway, hope your son is well.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] spotmark:
He's sore, as expected, but he's okay, Thanks. Ah, to be 19 again.

I'm having mixed feelings about this phone. To me it's all about the screen. It's drop dead gorgeous and performance is excellent, imo. In that respect, the phone passes the test. Being with VZW I don't like the fact that native WiFi calling doesn't work, and of course that it can't receive texts through the native app either. As I've mentioned, ad nauseam, I use Google Voice for voice and text, so it doesn't affect me as much as others. It does sound like once the phone is officially launched it should get ironed out, but may take a little time. My other gripe is that the Wifi range is terrible. When I get home at night, I play frisbee with the dog and have my beer and cigar and play DH Poker. I'm constantly getting disconnects whereas my Pixel 3 XL NEVER had that problem. I'm hoping there's something that can be done about that as well. If things don't improve, I'll live with it until October, and see what the Pixel 5 XL Looks like. I just hope Google goes full screen with it. I hate the dead space on the top of the 4 XL. Time will tell. Cheers, everyone.

So now I looked on the oneplus site and it says just less than 24 hours, so 12 noon tomorrow they'll be available.

A little strange how it went from 12am tomorrow to 2 days from now and then 12 noon tomorrow.

I guess I'm back on even though the verizon thing is going to give me agita. Lmao
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] gaww:
I am surprised if you are in the US, as the last one was noon not midnight here, and it is again - 13:50 hours from now (the 2 days is gone).

I ordered 8 pro at midnight from oneplus site and they're already out of stock.

This launch has been quite the clusterf_ck.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] PerCompLLC:
The black is still available from OnePlus (as of an hour ago). But I'm on Verizon, and since OnePlus only allows a 15 day return window, I'd rather purchase from Amazon since they have a better return policy. I'm hoping that Verizon and OnePlus get the device registration situation fixed quickly.
