    A Truly Powerful Android Phone

    This is an excellent phone. Purchased about one year after release and it does not feel outdated at all. 256 GB of storage, 12 GB of RAM, 120hz screen, and super fast charging, all top specs. I have yet to encounter any lag when multitasking, which I do a lot of on my phones. Reading articles, streaming music, all while using split screen function between various social media/news websites and the 8T never skipped a beat. Wireless charging would be nice, as would an official waterproof rating, but none are huge deals to me. The fast charging is a great tradeoff as 30 min for a full charge is insane. Love the little software additions offered by Oxygen OS, my favorite being the "gesture assignment" when the screen is off. I can trace a "V" on the screen and set it to certain apps (I set mine to a flashlight) for quick access w/out unlocking the phone. The only real weakness that I can point out is the camera. It takes decent pics and video, but the quality of the photos are nothing to brag about. You get a telephoto lens, and decent video stabilization, and some nice photo features but again, no one is going to say "wow." Battery life is solid. Better standby time than my Moto Z4. You will definitely get a solid day with 5-6 screen on time. The warp charge really is a game changer. Remains to be seen what that does for the battery's longevity. This is my first OnePlus phone, and while I'm late to the game with this brand, I am glad I got the 8T at a great price.

    Love my OnePlus 8T: Amazing All-Around!

    Been needing a new smartphone and came upon this gem! Upgrading from an Andriod 7 device, Oxygen OS + Android 11 is amazing on this beautiful 120 Hz phone! Everything runs smoothly, fast warp charging (battery life lasted 2-3.5 days depending on usage), and 256GB storage all for just $499. That's excellent value in my opinion! However, if you're looking for a device with the "best" camera/software/battery life, etc. then maybe look at other flagships. One Plus 8T at this price point already offers great all-round features, so up to the buyer if they want to pay extra $ just to have a 'better camera' (10 MP increase) or software upgrade (865 to 888 Snapdragon on the One Plus 9). It's my first time using a One Plus device and I love all that it offers. No serious cons here, just that you'll need to get a good case since the glass back is kind of slippery. Also dust collects easily around the camera bump corners without a case. If you're wondering whether this phone works with your carrier, from what I've read Sprint/T-mobile may experience issues. However, AT&T, Tracfone, and Verizon are all compatible with this unlocked device.

    This device right here is good to me. The storage on here is magnificent and the phone overall is very beautiful! You won't be disappointed. The cameras are amazing to say the least. The fact that it will get updates for several more years is good to my ears. Battery life is AWESOME.

    I have been using this phone for last two years, it's really the best. I love how light it is and the interphase is also great. The fast charger is amazing , it takes less than half hour to charge completely and doesn't even warm up when using alon with charging the phone.

    The best phone I've used so far, after using Samsung and Sony phones. The 8T is incredibly fast. Apps open in a snap. The cameras are very quick and sharp. It feels and looks like a solid phone that's very well built. And it came with no bloatware, especially Facebook and things of that sort. It does come pre-installed with a bunch of Google apps and One Plus apps, but you'll probably keep most of those anyways. If not, you can remove any of them.

    I accidentally broke and destroyed my smartphone last week. It was OnePlus 7T. I loved that phone and had only owned it 2 years. Since it is impossible finding that model anymore, and I didn't want to spend $1,000 on the flagship 9 Pro, I found this 8T on Best Buy and bought it immediately. Technically it is an upgrade to my prior phone but instead of paying $750 which was the price just a year ago, I paid $450 which saved me $300 over all on a great phone. Though i wasn't happy about breaking my 7T, this now has better battery, faster speed and 5g so overall, It was somewhat a blessing. I'll by an upgraded case for protection and be more careful but overall, I love this phone and though many haven't heard of OnePlus, it routinely beats out Samsung or comes in a close 2nd....great phone for a value price....

    Great phone. I've had it 2 months now and it has exceeded expectations. Both sim cards are clear when taking calls and the wifi calling is a nice plus. The storage is more than enough and makes up for not being able to use an SD card when utilizing two sims. Speed is superb and the camera is decent as well.

    I don't believe in paying alot for a phone and I keep my phones for a very long time. Basically, up until they just stop working. Unfortunately, when it was time to get a new phone, I did not like the ones available or they were completely out of my budget. So, I spent months waiting, looking and comparing phones. Everything that I wanted in a phone was definitely not in my budget or did not have what I wanted. However, one night I came across the One Plus T8 and it had everything I was looking for. So I did my research, read numerous reviews. Also, the price was was definitely in my budget. Better yet, I was able to get it as an open box item and saved even more! This is a nice phone. It's not an Iphone or a Galaxy, but for the price and features it has to offer, I would say you will not be disappointed.

    Amazing quality phone, especially for the price tag. Performance rivals that of flagships that cost almost twice as much or more, with some extremely acceptable shortcomings. Also has the best battery life of any phone I've ever owned. Overall a great purchase if you're looking for a good phone on a budget.

    Fast and reliable phone. Near stock Google experience plus some nice tweaks. Camera is decent. Screen is nice and bright, but sometimes too bright at night when you first turn the screen on. Battery life good with super fast charging. Still a solid high end mid range phone in 2022.

    Great phone, screen is crisp and functions quickly. Got it primarily for the dual sim function and price. The camera is great as well. The charging speed is amazing, the battery still lasts just as long. Have not had any problems since I purchased in May of 2021.

    Over 2.5 years in and I love this phone. I don't need the latest and greatest technology but this feels like it to me. No lag, plenty of storage, great camera, still receiving system updates. Still have plastic screen protector on, no bubbles. Would buy again now even though it is 5+ years beyond release.

    At the time this was released, this phone was a great value for the price. Even now, if you can find it below $300, I'd recommend picking it up. Has Android 13 support, 120 refresh rate, and great battery life

    Got it on September 23rd as promised. It’s Impressive! Beats Apple’s iPhone 12 Pro’s Specs and OnePlus was cheaper than iPhone 12 Pro within everything from Smartphone to Warranty! It’s A Super Powerhouse Smartphone! Comes along with all of the App Favorites that I had missed so much, which Apple iPhone did not have! Definitely would recommend this OnePlus phone! Definitely would transfer everything over to there!
