OnePlus 8T | 5G Unlocked Android Smartphone | A Day’s Power in 15 Minutes | Ultra Smooth 120Hz Display | 48MP Quad Camera | 256GB, Aquamarine Green | U.S. Version

I have been using a SAMSUNG Note 5 since it came out, so now it was time to buy a new phone. After a few days of research I decided to buy Oneplus 8T. Initially I was thinking to buy Oneplus 9 Pro 5G but this 8T has pretty much all the features including a reasonably good camera that can even take a picture in low light conditions. My phone has 256Gb storage and 12Gb RAM. Phone came with a charger that I think you can even use with laptops. Charges the phone in 15-20 minutes approx. It charges really fast. So i charge once a day only now. I use my phone heavily but the battery lasts me more than 24 hours. The phone had a pre installed screen protector. I ordered a good sturdy case from J&D. I prefer a wallet phone case and waiting for my wallet case to arrive from China. Until then I will use this J&D case which will ensure phone doesn’t get damaged if accidently dropped. Phone is fast in operation. It doesn’t have the audio jack which I dearly miss, but most phones don’t have that any more. Hopefully they will being audio jack back. It has a type C charging port which can also be used for headphones. Or if you want to charge and listen then just get one of those cheap multiport things where you can connect both. But not really necessary. You can just buy a Bluetooth ear/headphone. Speaker is good and loud enough. Over all I am satisfied with my purchase and should last me quite long. The phone screen is bright enough so that you can also see clearly in bright day light outdoors. One plus 8T works with freedom mobile in Canada. It should work with all other phone companies as well.

Truly a modern phone. The media could not be loaded.  If you want to upgrades i mentioned hit helpful or otherwise speak up to let them know!!Great phone so far! Works on visible! That acknowledged lets talk about why this 5star phone falls short of modern expectations.1) not waterproof, this might be excusable if a phone case manufacturer like lifeproof was around but alas, i need to snorkle, shower, swim, free dive with my phone, and i need the phone to be ok when i fall in the crick noodling too.2) no hard home or 3.5mm headphone jack, cmon guys, all my equipment is aux the bluetooth sound sucks and kills my batteries. Hard buttons are essential: i hate this move away from a core user interface and hard commands.3) this is dual sim but sim slots dont double for potential removable storage, and i wanted atleast 3sim slots on top of built in storage cuz im greedy.4) the battery is not removable, if my battery manages to last i should be able to bring my batteries to my next model of phone and have batteries in stand by, ill take this 15min charge for 24hours now that its here but it’s irrelevant if i can just have a few batteries for my phone…..5) no projector? All this focus on all these cameras that are inadequately protected that i wont use but i dont have a projector built in yet, why the slacking?6) auto updates why?!! Not the phone makers fault exactly, play store, but for those that dont know it, when the samsung galaxy s4 was released most of its “exclusive” features where fully operational on the galaxy s3, when the s4 released so did a force update removing and preventing the features in the s3…my bad luck wasnt over because i bought an iphone only to loose my whole 20,000 song library forever in a similar forced update; as such I respectfully hate all forced and automated update policies.Seriously add these things into this existing beast, thats where we should be at in this modern day…personally id plug 2 or 3 1tb sims in this sucker with 1 or 2 service sims if i could….but im just b*tching about this stuff they didnt put into this spectacular phone because this is otherwise exactly what i wanted and i need the manufacturers that are catering to what i want to know what i want so if you want that stuff help tell them by hitting helpful, without further adue lets talk about the phone now:16gb of ram and 256gb of internal storage is pretty epic! i have absolutely no regrets at all, im going to put that ram and battery life to use and abuse and let you all know how the performance holds! As far as phones on the market go this phone kills the competition in specs today 2/4/2022. I appreciate that this device is open to modifying the bootleg, stuff like this matters more than most give it credit.Out of the box everything is great and working great i dont want to say too much in the first 15mins i will actually update my review. The phone has 2 imei for each respective sim slot, the sim slot has space for both sims in one tray, they fit back to back. My visible sim did not fit perfectly in my sim tray, but with finesse was able to be properly inserted and does work.This phone is a decent size, as someone strongly preferring the small iphone 5 sizes this is absolutely the largest phone i could accept, it could actually be thicker but absolutely not wider or taller. I want to be able to use one hand for all functions. The screen is bright fast and responsive, im already transitioned to the feel of the new screen. I had an issue with some phones i tried particularly Samsung phones where the screen gave me a horrible migraine even with maximum sensitivity settings, im very very happy to note as a migraine sufferer i do not expect any issues with this screen what so ever! This is a solid phone i dont know what else to comment on so ill update and trim this in a week or month as i feel appropriate. Chow for now!7/27/22: this phone really is too large and unwieldy, it should not be so wide. I was not forced to update but things got a little glitchy so i did,…i dont like oneplus right now….the gallary is reorganized to be incompetent and cant be fixed, maps no longer enlarges to full size on double tap and bugs to black screen phone, the added shelf is a crudy version of the existing swipe left bloat spam i wish i could remove entirely. The shelf gets in the way of pulling down top bar, location is always hidden requiring too many actions, new features are not festures but just blatant sale of my data, no im not enabling permission for that even if you block my texts from displaying with your nonremovable pop up. And thats actually another huge gripe with this phone,could you have chosen to put the buttons on top of each other any more? So much time wasted or features that cant work because all notifications buttons and banners overlay in the same spot…..sloppy guys…real sloppy. How did you ever think breaking the gallery like this was a good idea?

Best deal in term of amount paid
