Oneplus 8T

Yet another phone in the upper-mid range market which all of a sudden is extremely packed. Now Google, Samsung, Apple, and Oneplus all have phones in the ~$700 price range. All of which seem like solid devices.
I think the $700 / $750 price range is the best spot for a smartphone, heck no on $1,000+ smartphones, no way.
Right now the Pixel 5 or OnePlus 8T are the best mid priced Android phones available. I won't even say the new iPhone 12 mini, because that runs Fisher Price outdated iOS.
Only issue with the 8T is the long term updates, they seem great on updating brand new phones, but a year old phone a little slow on updates, and a two year old phone, longer wait for update. And their Oxygen OS is morphing into Samsung's One UI, they seem to be going away from the tweaked stocked vanilla Android they were so good at, and changing.
I wish the Pixel 5 was the OnePlus 8T, running Google's stock Android.

The only phones that are deserving of an above 1k price tag IMO are the Fold 2, Note 20 Ultra, and iPhone 12 Pro Max. If you dont want a foldable device or the premier phones like the Ultra and Pro Max, then might as well dip into the upper mid-range market.
I sold my Note 20 ultra yesterday and kept my Oneplus 8 pro. Hands down a much better device for me. OOS is slick.
I like the oneplus 8 pro too, but the 5g doesn’t work on att
I'm on T-Mobile and have 5G off at the moment since there is none at my home location. 5G SA isn't enabled on the the unlocked sold by Oneplus USA 8 Pro's either. Apparently needs a software update. The T-Mobile branded none Pro 8 got the update pushed recently from T-Mobile.
I was at T-Mobile earlier today and checked out all their phones and to me the OnePlus 8T definitely felt the most slick and smooth of any phone there.
And I'm comparing that to the iPhone 12 Pro the Samsung Note 20 ultra and S20 ultra and new LG phones. The new OnePlus 8T just seemed liquid smooth and warp speed.
It also had5 a very bright display with vibrant colors.

Oneplus takes too long to update any phone that is older than 6 months and also they dropped the ball by moving away from a stock android look
I have the same issues with PwM and looked into OnePlus but they my carrier AT&T doesn’t support WiFi calling on this phone so it’s a no go for me. Our signal out here is so bad I need WiFi calling.
In my understanding, DC Dimming option (OnePlus Labs, if I am not wrong here) is now disabled.
