Yh never had an issue with Amazon deliveries to be fair.

The S7 edge is still a decent phone and once I've transferred everything over I'll probably fully reset and still use it for work. It's just struggles when you have too much apps and data and not much free memory left.

I'm sure the 8 pro will be a big upgrade on the 7 and great that i won't have to wait 5 or more seconds for an app to open anymore lol
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] nathlynn22:
I should have mine by then??
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Nekromantik:
Contact amazon and make a fuss
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] mikey_sk:
they just said its still being delivered today
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] nk33:
Its the refresh rate that makes the biggest difference mate.

I got the Razer Phone 1 when it first came out and since it has i cant go back to 60hz phone ever again. Things just happen instantly at 120hz
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] MIbby18:
Was hoping the screen protector would be pre-installed saving me messing about with them. Does the phone still come with the clear case ?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] nk33:
Screen protectors take away from the experience in my opinion. Nice glass finish then you put one of those on its all gone....but i suppose its a trade off
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Batfink33:
Mine came pre installed! And yes, the phone still comes with the clear case.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] MIbby18:
Will be nice experiencing the 120hz for the 1st time since I've only been using the S7 which must be 60hz at best.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Cyph3r92:
Did you order from Amazon or OnePlus?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Batfink33:
OP.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Nekromantik:
mine arrived!
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] MIbby18:
Anyone know the best or recommended way to calibrate the battery for 1st use on these oneplus phone nowadays please ?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] nk33:
i have a few in the box.

Surely people can understand them not being pre-installed - some people, like me. hate them.....would vex me if it came with one on it
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Cyph3r92:
Consider this; it is infinitely easier to remove a screen protector than it is to install one.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] nathlynn22:
Mine has arrived. ??
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Batfink33:
Well I've just noticed the screen protector that came included with it and was pre installed has started to bubble up [emoji849] Hope there's good ones on ebay soon.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] nk33:
mate - you are gonna love it - make your S7 feel like a scooter compared to a ferrari - even after you factory reset it lol
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] nathlynn22:
That Green colour is like nothing I expected it's so nice has a nice gradient to it.

Serious question can my wife send her phone back to oneplus which has been opened and used?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Batfink33:
She not like it?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] nathlynn22:
Think it's down to the colour of her black 1. Etc....?*♂️?*♂️
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Batfink33:
Ah right. Not sure if she can send it back, I would think so but not sure. Just use the excuse of the screen green tint if not.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] nathlynn22:
All ok we are allowed to send it back. Just said she isnt keen on it which is fine aslong as all perfect.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] big_b0sss:
I've had enough. I placed an order with amazon its showing delivery date is being calculated. Guess I'll send my phone back the one coming from oneplus directly. Will my student discount be used up even if I return the phone? Was hoping it to use on accessories.

Still stuck on this
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] nathlynn22:
That's weird dont understand that I received my charger from oneplus after 32hours of dispatch from royal mail
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] nathlynn22:
I dont understand why does the oneplus 8 pro Green 1s not come with the preinstalled protectors not that I would want to permanently use it but while I cant get a glass protector trying to fit these 1s is a joke lol. Mine even has printed writing going across it. (I have tried to peel off a top layer but there definitely isnt 1.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] salespalace:
received my glacial green, has the protector installed. so far so good. but need a good case, the case with it is flimsy
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] nathlynn22:
Mine has 2 in the box. Strange
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Batfink33:
Mine came with the protector installed straight from OP. I only have the protector that came installed though, not 2.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] MIbby18:
Do both of your screen protectors have that writing on mate ? I hope not, That's taking the piss if they do.

My Amazon order came abt 20 minutes ago but scared to open it now with soo many people reporting they having screen issue's lol
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] mikey_sk:
just got it and setting up- yay lol
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] nathlynn22:
The first 1 I put on had writing and went on so bad I pulled it off and noticed I couldnt get the writing off thought there may have been another protector over it.

But yeah the 2nd 1 has writing aswell and cant set up the fingerprints because it goes right across it ?*♂️?*♂️?*♂️
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Nekromantik:
im not gonna bother with screen protector that comes with.

I will get 1 off amazon and then wait for Whitestone for proper one
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] nathlynn22:
Did any one just get emails about 20 pounds gift cards from amazon

---------- Post added at 06:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:03 PM ----------

I've received 40 pounds because of the 2 orders I had
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Nekromantik:
yeah same lol
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Cyph3r92:
No gift card on my end!
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] nathlynn22:
The 40 yes? So that's 50 overall??
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Cyph3r92:
What did the email say specifically?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] MIbby18:
Believe it or not i too have been given 2 protectors with writing on :laugh: luckily it looks the phone already has one pre-installed so won't need to use them hopefully lol

Just need to pop my 3 sim out of the router now and into the phone later to set it up.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Incarniac:
Opened mine and setting it up. Ordered from OnePlus. Came with screen protector installed and the usual included soft case, which does a half-decent job. I also took delivery from Amazon of this case, which is very slim but also a little too slippery for my liking and doesn't offer enough protection. Will keep it for now to check it out for a bit longer, but may switch to the included case until Spigen has something available in the UK.

Can't see any screen issues so far, test images with flat colours look perfectly fine. It's very early days obviously but at least out of the box the screen is perfect.

And the 120Hz is very noticeable, even from the 90Hz OP7 Pro.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] nathlynn22:
Whatttt mine didnt even have a preinstalled 1. I have been on to oneplus there going to escalate it for me.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Nekromantik:
yeah looks like only ones bought direct have it pre installed
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] nathlynn22:
Well had 2 seperate emails saying because they messed up said was in stock but it wasnt blah blah we will credit your account of 20 and because I ordered 2 on my original order I got 40 pounds gift card amount. Check your gift card amount on amazon
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] MIbby18:
Did you get yours direct ? Mine was off Amazon and the black 128gb version if that makes any difference.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] mikey_sk:
no protector on mine ...
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] nathlynn22:
No mine was from Amazon.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Cyph3r92:
Nope nothing on mine even though my order was from 15th - obviously I need to complain more! :D
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] nathlynn22:
Ummm the writing bit was actually a front film aswell ?????
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] MIbby18:
That's good to hear, atleast they not completely useless then ?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] salespalace:
Yes mine was from Oneplus direct, came with screen protector pre installed. Its an amazing phone big improvement to the 7t pro in terms of camera, battery and screen. but i do not like the curved screen. If anyone is interested in taking it off me, Im happy to sell. just pm me.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] nathlynn22:
Just return for a full refund
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] salespalace:
Received it as a bonus from work due to the heavy increase in workload in my work at a pharmacy due to the pandemic.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] nathlynn22:
Fair enough but your not allowed to sell on the forums
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] salespalace:
Ah my bad, will not do so.

thanks for heads up
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] nathlynn22:
Who is going to bother with replacement. And how good, quick are Amazon
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] nathlynn22:
Amazon say they can only sort a refund out not replacement
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Nekromantik:
they are pretty good

you can ask for collection. sometimes they will send replacement while you send back the old one but that depends on the person you talk to. Of course they put a pending charge on your card in case you dont return it.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] nathlynn22:
Just send I wont get a refund till atleast 1 -2 weeks it gets set back to seller? Shall I speak with someone else?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Nekromantik:
maybe they changed policy.

why did you ask for refund? you can just ask for replacement. you may get better display like mine
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] nathlynn22:
They said they dont offer replacement on this product only return and refund

---------- Post added at 01:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:27 PM ----------

I thought your display had problems 2?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Cyph3r92:
They don't have any stock at the moment, that's why they can only refund.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] nathlynn22:
Yep your right they just told me when I comes back in stock contact them and they will set up a replacement
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Cyph3r92:
I'm waiting to get a replacement for mine as well...
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] nathlynn22:
Do you know how they do it? Never had to do this before
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Nekromantik:
No

Only problem on mine is if I use the grey image and have brightness down to 5% I can see the shadow on front camera.

But in normal use I cannot see it. Not even in dark theme at night. So not bothered.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] nathlynn22:
That's lucky I could see it when dark in bed lol. Dont think I'll be happy with it. Next 1 I will just use it
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Cyph3r92:
So when they have stock, they'll send you out a new one and give you a label to return the old one. You'll have like 14 days to post off the old one otherwise they charge you for it.

Man you're lucky. I was using the phone last night in bed at night and the shadow/bar from the front camera was really irking me considering it's a £900 phone. Really wish I could have my S20+ back, but without the Exynos.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] marvi0:
Should I get the 8gb or 12gb Pro? What are the main differences between the 2 apart from the ram?. Any noticeable differences between the 2?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Nekromantik:
more memory also 128gb vs 256gb
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Incarniac:
The one with 12GB has more storage - 256GB instead of 128GB. And the colour is different - Onyx Black for 8/128 and Glacial Green for 12/256. Otherwise the hardware is exactly the same and they'll perform the same.

Whether you should get it - that's a personal decision I can't help you with and boils down to whether you want the colour, the RAM, the storage and think it's worth the price difference.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] marvi0:
Has anyone ordered from amazon say the regular oneplus 8, change your mind and decide to go for the pro. Do you just get amazon to send a replacement or they would want the regular back first before sending out the pro?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Incarniac:
That'll be a new order so to can do it whatever way you want. Returns within 30 days (normally, I think that's now extended a bit due to Covid-19) you can do for no reason for orders as long as condition of the item is still 'as new'. Amazon are prompt in issuing refunds. You do have to arrange returning the item obviously - they may send a courier to do so.

Whether you order the Pro before or after returning the standard 8 is then entirely up to you.

They won't send it as a replacement per se as there's nothing wrong with it, and they will only replace like for like.

I've recently (but pre-covid) done this for Nvidia Shield TV as I bought the non-Pro/'tube' then decided I wanted the Pro version. No issues whatsoever.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] nathlynn22:
Dont know who is sending back via Amazon but they are saying the 8 pro green wont be in stock for awhile
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] marvi0:
So it appears most peeps ordered the green one. Why no love for the cheaper black model? Is it because of the 8gb ram as opposed to 12gb?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Nekromantik:
its not just RAM its memory.

Black is 128gb while green has 256gb
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] combat goofwing:
I got the black 128 gig ,plenty of storage for me and fast F... The phone with 8 gig ram ,just waiting for my d brand skin to go on it
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] marvi0:
Does anyone have any idea when Amazon are likely to have the 8pro 12gb in stock?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] thegr812k:
Im returning mine to Amazon as i was one of the people hit bit the overheating issues (perfect screen) so i expect my next one will be the other way round :/ , just waiting for Amazon stock
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] marvi0:
Guys does the 8pro come with a screen protector, if ordering from Amazon?. Did a search and some are saying yes it has and other are saying otherwise.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] nk33:
Mine seemed to overheat first day bit since that day it has been supercool even under heavy load....may have something to do with the update as well
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] mikey_sk:
I spoke to soon earlier. I was on a teams con call for about an hour and the phone just turned hot and froze and kept restarting. It's been like that since. Idle and WhatsApp usage etc is fine. Any video or gaming it freezes. I'm up to date on updates etc. I am sooooo glad I ordered off amazon as they arranged this to be collected and they will refund me. Its a shame this is a great phone but to be honest coming from a note 10 I need something a bit more substantial. Luckily my work have cleared me to transfer my number to them on o2 (I'm three) and get a new phone so I have an s20 ultra 12gb with a 512gb sd coming (SanDisk from amazon). I get Disney plus for a year too lol. I know the exynos model isn't as good and has less battery optimisation, but i will hardly notice the difference and the phone just feels a bit more substantial.

Does anyone know if I were to buy from the German Amazon store would it make any difference?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] combat goofwing:

[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] @home:
What if you need to return the phone to Amazon.de from the UK, is it a nightmare OR can you return it to Amazon UK?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] daviddosa:
I've read about this, and yes, you can order from different Amazon sites, but if there is stock in the UK, it'll get dispatched from the UK first. If not, then from DE. Shipping will take long that way, but you don't have to pay import fees as UK still in the EU till the end of this year, and who knows what's going to happen after.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] @home:
I was looking at getting from Amazon.DE cause they have the blue one, AM UK doesn't so I wouldn't want it shipping from UK site.

I was also concerned about the return to UK site if bought from DE site. Can this be done?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Nekromantik:
yes you can return back to Germany but will take longer obv
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] @home:
Can you buy from AM DE but return to AM UK site.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] thegr812k:
Be interested to know what your thoughts are after you receive S20 ultra and if you prefer it
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] mikey_sk:
its just as fast at the op8 pro with 120hz on fhd. feels more solid than the op8. but the camera... oh that camera! thought the OP was great but it is another level on s20U. heard ultra close up has a few issues but otherwise its def on another league.

is it better? performance wise feels the same, the OP can feel ever so slightly snappier but i think its more to do with Oxygen OS customisation on the animations. Battery drain is actually better ive found... its handy i can put in an upto 1tb sd card as well.

One thing better on s20 is music through Bluetooth is much louder than the one plus

keep either they just as good
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Nekromantik:
No

Had my Amazon order collected today by Hermes for return at 11am. It's not updated and Amazon are saying it hasnt been collected. WTF
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Nekromantik:
Thats Hermes for you

Does tracking say anything?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] nathlynn22:
Just says waiting for parcel

---------- Post added at 11:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:11 PM ----------

I've got the guy recorded on my CCTV. And I also got him to sign an extra label sheet imprinted off so I feel ok but it's just what Amazon say. I did put a new order in which was waiting for stock but I have cancelled that. If they dont send me a refund because the parcel has 'disappeared' I dont want them having more money.

---------- Post added at 11:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:13 PM ----------

Oneplus have issued a refund for the black 8 pro for my missus but she didnt like the colour and wants a green
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Cyph3r92:
Amazon collected my 8 Pro on the 27th April and I haven't got a refund yet. Seems like it's going to take a while.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] mikey_sk:
As long as they receive it it will be refunded. You are entitled to return the phone for any reason within 30 days (now extended). Hermes can be a bit unreliable but as long as its shows as picked up no problem. The driver should scan the bar code on the parcel in front of you I believe

---------- Post added at 11:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:46 PM ----------

It can take up to two weeks for them to process a refund. They may wanna check the phone etc
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Nekromantik:
Yes as long as the tracking event shows picked up then you are safe as its up to Amazon to ensure its insured for loss.

If you wanted a exchange not sure why you requested refund. Could have left it until they have stock and then a swap.

If I need to return mine I will only do it when they can send new phone first as I dont have backup
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] nathlynn22:
I waited from the 21st to the 1st and it didnt come in stock it still hasnt either.

So decided to get a refund and just wait for it to come back in.

The person collected it have his signature and video footage of him collecting it on the 1st and 11.25am but still shows on amazon it's not collected and same on hermes. Fed up with this whole situation really ??
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Nekromantik:
If I have to send mine back I will ensure they dont use Hermes lol
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] nathlynn22:
Now in stock on Amazon UK. Wife will receive hers tomorrow now.

Let us know if it has any screen problems. Green tint, screen burn etc
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] exxpired:
I got mine from amazon delivered this morning, it was manufactured on the 28th May, I cant see any issues with the screen.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] @home:
Great news. Lets hope OP have now fixed the screen problems
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Cyph3r92:
Yep, worth noting tha the monthly payment option is interest free and doesn't do any credit checks or anything.

I don't see any reason to order direct from OP over Amazon.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Incarniac:
Yeah, totally. When I actually went ahead and tried ordering, it tells you expected delivery is 21st.... so I cancelled my OP order and re-ordered with Amazon.

I also fell for the temptation of getting the 12GB/256GB edition instead of the 8GB/128GB one. :eek:
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Nekromantik:
damn all of you haha

If I change my mind within 30 days Amazon will let me return it no fuss but in current situation will be difficult for me. they dont offer collection from house.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Cyph3r92:
I've had Amazon organise a collection in the past for a return. I think they'll do it if you ask the chat rather than going through the automated returns process unless it's changed.

Also, Amazon has extended the returns window to May 31st due to the situation and if things are still rough by then they'll definitely give you leeway. Heck, I had an issue with something a year later and Amazon's response was that I could either have a full refund or a replacement, didn't have to argue it or anything - they suggested it immediately. It's why I'll always buy from Amazon.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Nekromantik:
true

I have had issues with high value items from amazon and they using amazon logistics.

i live in apartment block so amazon drivers dont always like to come to my apartment so they leave with front desk but front desk not accepting parcels at the moment.

OP use DHL who always come to my flat and I get delivery window. I will think about switching to amazon haha
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] mikey_sk:
sometimes amazon use couriers for items that are quite expensive. when i ordered my OP7T Pro last year they sent it via DPD and i got a text of my hourly delivery window... and it was an item sold direct not re-seller.
