Yea i think im going to upgrade, i love the color accents , and itll be a lil bit of an upgrade from my OP7PRO
Sent from my GM1915 using Tapatalk

Depending on the price, I may be all over this. I would be upgrading from a 6t

Only difference from 7Pro is a little better CPU . The storage is down to 128gb instead of the 256gb I have. Is the Snapdragon 855+ worth it to upgrade ?

Also only the 7T is coming to TMobile right now. There is no 7T Pro till later this year and that is going to be the 7T Pro Mclaren . No release date for the McLaren yet .

Correct. The T-Mobile 7t Pro McLaren went up for "pre register" today. They no longer have the 7 Pro available. So yes, 12gb ram, quad hd screen, and 256gb storage is an upgrade over the 7t, which is the only other OnePlus device currently available on T-Mobile

I've already pre-registered as well. Was about to pull the trigger on the 7 Pro since I was so disappointed in the Pixel 4. Glad I waited.
QUICK QUESTION:
Going back to the Nexus 5 days, I've always bought my Nexus/Pixel phones outright directly from Google. This will be my first phone that isn't a Nexus/Pixel. I'm assuming this will only be available through the T-Mobile store, and not directly through OnePlus. If so, is there any benefits if I pay for the phone all upfront with T-Mobile. I'm assuming that gets rid of the SIM lock, but what about updates and everything. Does that automatically switch the software from the locked down T-Mo one to the OnePlus update track? Or would I have to unlock the bootloader and switch to the international version software to get updates directly from OnePlus? Thanks in advance!

Paying it off will NOT switch it to international software. I believe Your updates will still come from T-Mobile unless you go through the unlock process with both TMobile and OnePlus.Keep in mind, since there is technically no international version of the 7t Pro 5G McLaren because it is currently going to be a T-Mobile exclusive, I don't know how that will work as far as "converting" it to international software goes. Hopefully someone can correct me if I'm wrong

When you pre registered did you get any indication of price yet?

Dang! I completely overlooked that aspect of it. You're right, as there probably won't be an unlocked version of the ROM to switch to in the US. So I'd be completely at the mercy of T-Mo when it comes to updates and bloatware EVEN AFTER PAYING IT ALL OFF UPFRONT!!! That sucks... I'm used to getting updates straight from the source with Google phones, and absolutely hate the additional "features" carriers put on their version of the phones.. That's the reason I buy my phones outright upfront. But more importantly, I like having the factory image in case something goes awry. Especially since I want to unlock and root using Magisk. I'm assuming the factory image wouldn't be available through T-Mobile either... Now I'm contemplating if I should just get the 7 Pro straight from OnePlus just for the added peace of mind. Hmm...

It's possible that the OnePlus 7t Pro rom could work, I just don't know if the 5g modem would make it incompatible or not

Also, Pre registered on T-Mobile for the 7T Pro McLaren. I'll be interested in the price, release date, trade in, etc.

Hmm... Maybe. I'll probably wait then to see if there is a solution to switch it to the international version. I wouldn't even care about losing 5G connectivity if everything else worked and I could get updates straight from OnePlus. 4G is perfectly fine with me for now. At least until 5G matures. I've been reading so many negatives about T-Mobile's lag in updates vs the unlocked models.

Careful with OnePlus and 5G - they are not reliable.
The 7 Pro 5G hasn't been getting support, we have no open betas and threads get closed/ignored on their forums.
Sources don't get updated so there is no custom ROMs or Kernels that work on this device.
6/6T got Android 10 before we even have a promise of it.

Yeah, if they're banking on the 5G connectivity as an incentive, they're sadly mistaken. Especially considering they only have it in like 6 cities throughout the US right now.

Yea I could care less about 5g. Home and work I get over 100mbps with 4g. I just want that McLaren phone. The trade in on OnePlus 6t last year was incentive enuff and I got it. The 7t, 0 incentive so it's still sitting on TMobile shelf. If McLaren has no incentive I'll order stick with my 7 pro.

I can't see why anyone would pay the premium for 5G at this point. As stated, the connectivity is just not there. This article is 4 months old but the challenges are not SW or even device related, they are infrastructure. By the time any carrier has a 5G offering that is widely available, the current generation of devices will be obsolete.

OnePlus 7 Pro 5G (EE/UK) Updates

Has anyone found out or received any information on updates regarding the UK's 5G OnePlus 7 Pro? Currently on Oxygen OS 9.5.3.GM27BA.
What did you need to know? I've had mine since launch day.

Same, but there haven't been any major updates. The 4G model is two updates ahead already. Seems like they are just selling the 5G model for money without offering any support for it. Just wanting to know if there is gonna be any update anytime soon, and which update are they gonna give us, because being a few updates behind is rediculous.

Just seems a bit unfair with the 4G model is getting updates to the camera and other fixed, and then people with the 5G model which is the more expensive device is just getting left out. If they want to make 5G the future of smartphones they should offer more support on the device.
OxygenOS 9.5.4.GM27BA should be the next update according to this
https://github.com/OnePlusOSS/andro...mmit/510ad8fb042c4a87e10f18e5c158361c36238c11
Would converting the 5g phone to international Allow updates since 9.5.7 is now out....
Bit annoyed that the updates are slow too considering the last 2 have related to improving the camera
If so is the only way to do it to root it?
Everyone needs to keep expectations in line with the situation we have here.
There is only 1 place in the entire world that has the 5G Pro device in use.
So updates will be tested on Non 5G and then ported over to 5G.
The camera i version 9.5.1 5G is the same as 9.5.4 non 5G.
So i expect the same here, 9.5.7 upates to be included in 9.5.4 5G.
However seeing as the source code was uploaded 3 days ago and still no OTA it must mean EE are testing all updates and delaying it.
So I dont think its OnePlus problem.
Once the device is no longer exclusive then we may be able to use EU 5G updates on our phones.
I believe the way to works is OP will give an update to ee they will then test it, report any bugs back to OP to fix and then approve the update and then it will go out. EE have always been slow with updates.. Well for Samsung they have been. My pixel 3xl updated straight from Google.
Why do EE need to be testing this? I would understand it if the phone had custom firmware on it by EE but they don't. The phone is no different from the standard device all be it with the 5g modem.
Very frustrating, really want the camera improvements.
Is it possible to put this version into the global version of updates like the t mobile version has been done?

I don't think this will work, there are some differences in the firmware. You may loose some functionality.

Seen somewhere that you can flash it as a 4g device might look into that as 5g isn't available where I am ATM so not loosing anything then could flash the 5g rom once 5g more available....
Ee fastest network in the UK till it comes to updates
Op ain't much better ATM about 5g device had no answers about updates or when ee exclusive deal expires
Let hope for some updates soon it's quite bad we haven't had the camera updates
its been 2 weeks since last update and nothing yet i wish i waited and got non 5g now

OnePlus 7 Pro 5G Slow On Updates

Hi, it seems OnePlus and EE are either not bothering to update the 5G variant or they're having trouble updating our phones due to the 5G modem, i maybe wrong but it just seems weird that OnePlus haven't even put out a statement as to why were not getting updated the same time as the 4G variant.
The lack of updates for the 5G is really appalling. The 5G is meant to be the flagship device, yet it is consistently ignored.
For example, the 4G variant is now on 9.5.11, yet the 5G version is on 9.5.5 and missing a TON of features in the later updates
NONE of the Android P betas work on the 5G
Yikes! That's really just awful! I don't live in Europe and don't have the 5G model, but that would infuriate me. Being a flagship device with the price to match, that's just unacceptable.
Yeah I agree, we're 2 months out of date.. my 6 was getting updates within the first week of the new google security patch.
f**k all for my 5G... not good at all. Still, I will carry on in hope..
Finally, people addressing the issues on a public forum. I keep tweeting OnePlus but I haven't heard a dickie bird from them.
The 5G variant isn't even on the list of supported devices on the OnePlus website! "Buy our flagship device with our next gen technology inside but we're not going to support it". I massively regret buying the 5G variant because of the lack of support, acknowledgement that the device exists, no beta inclusion - it's ridiculous!
Sent from my [device_name] using XDA-Developers Legacy app
So there are others with this device!
It's absolutly absurd the way they are treating us - we pay more in total for a more premium version of their already premium device and the last software update was a month ago with no official word on what's happening.
Last time trusting Oneplus with premium that's for sure.
This is an absolute joke. Pay more for a device and get less. I've made countless posts on the OnePlus forums. Spoken to support, OnePlus Support push me to EE and EE push me to OnePlus. I'm reaching the end of my tether.
I totally regret getting the 5G version. Costing me an arm and a leg monthly too... For an over promised and under delivered 5G experience.
This device is costing considerably more per month than the regular 4G version and this is how we get treated? This is beyond ridiculous. I tweeted OnePlus Support and I've heard sod all back. I'm fitting to go to CEX and asking if they'll do a straight swap...

Did you expect anything less? Not much op can do if the carrier needs to push the updates, same thing with the 4g version, international version is the way to go.

Sorry I should've said UK
Since it's UK exclusive
it is different firmware, so not necessarily the same numbering scheme as the regular 7Pro. From what I've seen. The 5G has gotten 1 update per month.. which isn't bad. It could be alot worse.

It's not. It is on sale in other countries in Europe, and it now looks like it's going to be sold in the US as well (on Sprint if I remember rightly)
The model may be "European", but it certainly isn't an UK exclusive!

General OnePlus 10 Pro global launch officially scheduled, US pre-orders live right now

FYI....note pre order looks kinda strange?
OnePlus 10 Pro global launch officially scheduled, US pre-orders live right now
The highly anticipated global launch of the OnePlus 10 Pro is finally right around the corner, and the company is teasing some kind of a surprise.
www.phonearena.com
Considering the US versions had the physical second SIM slot removed in the 9's. I wonder if OnePlus is going to continue that with the 10's. JerryRig's video of the Chinese version breaking easily during his bend test really doesn't inspire me to want to pre-order it, even with only a dollar down.

Good question about dual SIM. I bought a dual SIM tray for my 9 Pro but never managed to get it fully working. It'd be nice if the 10 Pro at least has a way to enable it.
No 12G/256G variant in the US for now. I'll pass!
Reading reviews it seems worse than the 9 Pro in alot of ways and better in a couple. I don't think it's worth getting it especially with Oxygen being basically Color OS now.
All of the cameras are the same as the 9 Pro with the exception of the ultra-wide. For the US market, it's a downgrade in terms of RAM with only the 8GB/256GB version being released currently. I doubt we will see any bend tests on it until close to the Easter launch date in the US. OnePlus is definitely pulling a Samsung here, in my opinion. New model, same old hardware from the previous device for the most part. US models will more than likely not be possible to convert to dual-SIM just like with the 9/9 Pro's. The b/s marketing speak about not being able to deliver 80W fast charging in US models is purely a crock!
Personally, to get me to buy a new device from OnePlus. I want 16GB/512GB variant T-Mobile US model that is possible to convert to dual-SIM. Why? I need to domestically roam on to the US Cellular network as a T-Mobile customer and only devices purchased directly from T-Mobile are permitted to roam on US Cellular (US Cellular roaming requirement). I also carry a Canadian SIM that roams in the US and I don't like carrying two phones. All of the cameras need to be significantly improved and no more stupid holes in the screen. A larger 6.8" screen or maybe even a 6.9" would be something I would hope to eventually see. They have pretty much been using the same screens since the 7 Pro's for the Pro devices. The SnapDragon Gen 1 throttles due to excessive heat on almost all devices using it.

Question Rooting possible? Oneplus 10 pro 5G/10T 5G

Hello everyone I live in Canada and I use a Koodo network (part of Telus wireless). I am Interested in trying a oneplus phone because I came from a samsung galaxy s8 and in Canada mine is boot loader locked. My s8 model # SM-G950W and it seems like many sources say its not possible to root. I am interested in a one plus 10 pro 5G (https://www.oneplus.com/ca_en/10-pro) or a newly released oneplus 10T 5G. Are either of these phones rootable? And if so, has anyone done it? Is rooting stable? Does it have many failures/bugs/errors? Can anyone confirm which oneplus device is best for rooting and is rooting partially done or fully rooted?
Many thanks!!

Get the Motorola p90 pro.
I'd even look at the nothing phone 1 if you could get it, looks great, uses a 788 SOC I think, plus it's cheap and that glyph lighting is brilliant.
Rooting shouldn't be a problem but there won't be many if any custom ROMs.
The pixel 6 does have a couple of custom ROMs but they're far and few between the days.
I couldn't recommend a Sammy device as the bloat and weird convaluted OS is just horrific.

if you want a unlocked phone, then buy a unlocked phone. don't buy a subsidized locked phone then complain that you can't unlock the phone on contract.
pretty sure that says unlocked

do you know op 10 is also sd 8 gen 1?
my op 10 pro and samsung tab s8 ultra are both sd 8 gen 1 and both rooted
from what region did u buy those devices from ?
Also what is the model version for your rooted oneplus 10 pro ?
but seriously, don't buy this phone. you are pretty much screwed if you screw up rooting. no way to restore if you brick it.

Question Global rom question

I've heard that when Vivo launches the fold in India it'll get a global rom. My first question is do we have any idea of when that'll be? Is there a timeline that they generally release their phones in other markets after the Chinese release?
My second question is that when they release the Indian version, will people be able to flash it to phones with the Chinese firmware?
I know nobody can give a definitive answer to these questions, I'm just hoping for reasonable speculation.
If there's global variant, vivo releases it within 1 month (or a week) from the release of China variant.
e.g. X80 Pro was released in April (CN) and May (Global)
I think there will be no global variant for Fold.
You can flash global ROM on Chinese variant, but you need to unlock bootloader, which is blocked after the firmware with compile time 2022-04.
The Vivo X Note and Vivo X Fold were released at the same time and there has been no Global release for either of them.
I really don't see this happening if I am honest about the ask.
Which I don't expect it to technically.
Well, I'm disappointed in the answer, but I appreciate the information. I guess I'm going to wait for the Samsung announcement and then probably buy the Vivo unless I'm really surprised.

frcraig just passed on in this thread, that there is a leaked Vivo X Fold S with possible Global Funtouch,
thought you may want to know being that the Fold 4 is being introduced later today.
Thank you for letting me know!! I've gone ahead and ordered the Fold 4, since there's a $200 discount if you signed up early, but it won't arrive until August 26 and I've got at least two weeks to return it, so if the Vivo with a global rom really does come out I'm planning on returning the Fold and getting that.
I would caution anybody who's decision relies on the global rom and has the early discount to go ahead and order the Samsung just in case Vivo doesn't come through.

Yes, did the same, got all three new offerings: phone, watch, buds, and case... been on the fence with the X Fold but the lack of VoLTE is an huge issue with both the Chinese Rom and the possible new Global S version, so that is sad. I hope I don't regret the SZF4 purchase as it looks like I am stuck with this because of these main issues with the larger format foldable imports:
- Vivo X fold in Canada has no VoLTE (LOVE the excellent wider format size and amazing quality & would be willing to live with the poor multi-tasking, but with the VoLTE not there, this is a really big issue)
- Huawei Mate fold with the external screens has excellent multi-tasking but no Google services.
- Xiaomi Mi Mix Fold 2 looks nice and thin 5.4 mm open, but front screen may still be too narrow when it comes out
- Oppo Find N has very little screen crease in centre (similarly also the Vivo), but don't like the smaller format
You're not risking very much. With the early launch discounts, you can probably sell it for what you paid for it in the first few months, so if that VoLTE problem gets fixed, you can always ditch the Fold 4 and get most of your money back. That's my plan if the Vivo X Fold S gets the Funtouch firmware.
I do love the previous generation of the Buds. I think they just happen to fit my ears perfectly, so they perform much better for me than higher rated ear buds.

Same here, will the global version support Android Auto?
The only thing that holds me from buying the vivo is AA not working. I hope there would be a global version and to support AA.

For VOLTE try to use the hidden menu comands to turn on or off the Carrier provisioning for WiFI calling and VoLTE. Also call your carrier and give them an IMEI for Samsung 5 g phone that is white listed on your carrier. I have been using Huawei, Xiaomi and Redmi phones and I was able to bypass the carrier blockings and getting the 4g/5G WiFi calli g and VoLTE

I am running with the full Samsung suite, Z fold 4, watch 5 pro, and buds pro. I really wanted to get the Vivo X Fold, even the Xiaomi Mi Mix... but was too many questions around support and looked like very little options for Canadian carrier customers in getting latest carrier standards here. I know in the States, there were some carriers that the phone did work, but none of the carriers in Canada were supporting the Chinese phones here, at the time. I think some have found work-arounds since, but software is still not as refined or supported as Samsung's systems here in Canada. I did have a Huawei Note 8 for over 7 years and is still a beast of a phone, but the old android system software wasn't working well with some current apps.
