What part did you want a comment on? The part where the author recommends that you purchase a Motorola (a.k.a. Lenovo) smartphone, another Chinese company, or the part where he recommends you purchase a phone from Essential?

You may be correct about Apple, but if Google isn’t selling your info then how are they making money?

Just curious, how often do you run into areas where you have T-Mo service, but not Verizon?

I’m not trying to be critical of T-Mo as I think they have done great thing to spur competition in the U.S. cellular market. But from my reading it seems Verizon has far greater network coverage than T-Mo.

Either way I’m glad that OnePlus is now working on three of the four major U.S. networks. My guess is that things will continue to improve for OnePlus on Verizon as Verizon continues towards shutting down its CDMA network by the end f 2019.

T-Mobile network is non existent in a lot of places I visit. Then again, so is Sprint.

I travel all over the country and to Vancouver for work, I have never had an issue with T-Mobile coverage where VZW worked. I have been skiing in Whistler, BC and had 4G coverage all over the mountain, in the FL keys, I also had coverage. Coverage is not an issue for me.

Hell, I venture more than a mile off the interstate and T-Mobil dies out. You must be roaming on AT&T.

Hopefully it performs better than McLaren F1

Hahaha, yeah true, they have been dismal in recent years.


But I'm a Kiwi and I'm proud of Bruce and admire Ayrton.
The whole package is cool and maybe a collectable.
I like the look of the phone, the notch is minimal and the orange accents are cool.

I'm neither a Kiwi nor a McLaren fan but I love Senna

Likewise and I got 20% off my bill for life, I pay $112 a month for 3 phones, unlimited data and netflix! I work for a s mall IT Audit firm and most of us have T-Mobile, no one has any issues and we all travel all the time.

Come visit Arizona and visit rural Northern AZ. Verizon is a must have in some places... if you want USABLE data. (Show Low, Pinetop-Lakeside, etc.)

I’m itching to buy a 6t, but I know the 7 will be a massive leap up. Not to be one of those guys who says “don’t buy now, wait til later!” The 7 will have the 855, and probably be 5g compatible. Seems worth it to wait.

Make sure you don’t venture too far off the main highways then. If you do, you may have to borrow an AT&T or Verizon phone. ;)

Not to add fuel to the fire but OnePlus themselves already confirmed they will be one of the first OEMs to release a device with the 855 and have 5G support. As much as I want the McLaren edition, I’m going to hold off until the OP7 in May.

The 7 is going to be a monumental step up. Could be the best phone of all time in terms of how much you get for what you pay.

get the mclaren edition, you don't wanna be a 5G experiment. It's gonna have bugs and issues, I advise waiting a few years...

When it gets back in stock I'm getting one.

The 855 will be revolutionary. Well worth waiting for.
