Just got this phone from amazon warehouse deals for ~550 and I think I like it a lot. Condition was “used very good” – and upon arrival I couldn’t find a scratch or anything – looked like someone just took it out of the package and put it back in, but otherwise brand new.
I think phone is awesome. I particularly like oneplus because it’s one of the few manufacturers that provide ability to unlock bootloader and install lineage OS. This is about the best phone you can get if you intend to install Lineage at some point as I do. I was debating between this and Samsung galaxy S20 FE – and unlockable bootloader just did it for me. Also clean experience – no useless bundled facebook spyware apps and such.
its as fast as advertised, has all the cricket LTE bands, UFS 3.1 fast storage, fairly clean of bloatware, nice bright display, fast charging yadda yadda yadda. And as others have mentioned – despite the lack of official IP rating – many youtubers have confirmed it is in fact waterproof (YSK – however – even if phone has official IP rating – manufacturers dont cover water damage by warranty anyways, so would not rush to go swimming with it regarless of IP rating).
Things I dont like (but not gonna remove stars – as unfortunately all US-sold smartphones are doing the same):
– glass back. I just hate glass backs. I’ll take metal or plastic any day of the week. Even with a case – I do tend to drop my phones a lot and glass s the type of material that just tends to, you know – break.
– no 3.5 mm jack. shame. I much prefer simplicity of wired headphones.
– no user-replaceable battery (I know that ship has sailed long ago – but im still gonna mention it)
Edit: some people say they received wrong model, but I can confirm – US model KB2005

There’s a bit of controversy with this phone mostly due to the fact that you can get a Samsung Galaxy S20 FE for $50 less, at the time of this review. They have mostly the same specs except the OnePlus 8T does not have wireless charging and an official IP rating. Both of which the Samsung 20 FE does have. The North American model of the Oneplus 8T is only sold with 12GB RAM + 256GB, which makes the device $50 more expensive in comparison to the EU models.
I came from a Samsung Galaxy s9 and this phone feels like a huge upgrade. The 120hz display is so smooth and addictive! The snapdragon 865 paired with 12GB of ram literally destroys anything you throw at it, in the best way possible of course. There is no OFFICIAL IP rating on the device BUT, upon watching many teardown videos and water tests with the 8T, the phone is in fact built to resist water but just doesn’t have the official rating. Personally, I have no need for wireless charging capability but in return of losing wireless charging, you get 65 watt fast charging. The 65W fast charging is something to behold. The phone charges from 0-100% in literally 40 minutes, 58% in 15 minutes. Not to mention, it has a 4500mAh battery which is absolutely massive and can for last a full day of regular use WITH 120hz active.
I purchased this phone over the Galaxy S20 FE mainly because of the near stock android experience, and the flagship specs for less money than its older brothers. I could have gotten a pixel, but the specs of this phone paired with android 11 stock android is an absolute dream. I can safely say I do not miss One UI one bit. Goodbye bixby.
The cameras get the job done. Not as good as the pixel 5, but they take solid pictures in good lighting and the night mode is just okay.
