Oneplus 8T upgrades?

LMrPariah on 11/10/2022 - 17:19

Hey Ozbargain!

I'm interested in upgrading from my Oneplus 8T which has been a bit of a journey for the last 18 months or so now

I'm interested in the Oneplus 10 Pro although haven't found anything definitive online to suggest Volte, Vowifi and 5G work here in Australia whereas all 3 work seamlessly on my 8T (after some tedious work via command prompt)

Was also considering the Oppo Find X5 Pro

and the Pixel 7 Pro although I'm waiting for some battery tests to come out to see it's viability as a heavy phone user

If you have any suggestions or know if the Oneplus 10 Pro works well with Aussie Networks let me know I'm all ears :D

Thanks in advanced! :)

    Highly recommend the OPPO find series. I had come from 5 different Oneplus devices and found OPPO to be just as good if not better (they are owned by the same company). I moved to the Find X3 Pro and besides the lack of alert slider, its basically the same experience.

      Thank you so much for your insight I'm starting to really veer towards that find X series now thanks!

        No worries. I was a bit hesitant moving from Oneplus but I am so happy I did.

        One thing I didnt realise I was missing in my life is the 65w SuperVOOC (aka DASH/WARP) charge on the X3. I no longer charge overnight now. just plug it in when I wake up and by the time I'm ready to go (20mins), its fully charged. Much better for battery longevity/health

          Yeah my 8T also has 65W charging and it's super convenient, it was a huge reason why I was tossing up between a Oneplus or Oppo upgrade as their one of the few flagships that have such fast charging

          it's one one of those things that now I have it I can't live without haha!

            @MrPariah: also one good thing about the parent company owning these brands, the fast chargers work across all the brands. so VIVO, OPPO, OnePlus, Realme fast chargers are interchangeable. so if you come across a good deal on a Realme (the budget brand) charger, it will work on your OPPO.

              @Bloodfart: Oh great thanks for that tip! Didn't know that!

            • MrPariah on 12/10/2022 - 14:25

              @Bloodfart: How is the 5G connectivity of your Find X3 Pro? Is it consistent?

                @MrPariah: No issues in Aus. I also spend half the year in Manila and have not had issues with 5G unless I am in an area with known 5G black spots

                  @Bloodfart: Perfect thanks! Really convinced on the Find X5 Pro now

    I moved from the Oneplus 7T, which I loved. I was tired of not being able to trade in phones when a new one came out. So I caved and bought the Oppo Find X5 Pro from JB HI FI. Can 100% say it feels like I am using a Oneplus phone. The phone is lighting fast and the camera is a massive improvement and finally having an Aussie Charger is a dream (its the little things!) All the Volte, Vowifi and 5G working flawlessly. If you are dead set on the Oneplus there is a dedicated store which sells them here in Aust, the Global version which should work on all carriers. Let me know if you have any questions!

      Hey thank you so much for your reply! Good knowing that the Find X5 Pro is a solid upgrade I'm not super desperate but it's such an attractive phone plus on Aliexpress you can find it for just over $1k, do you mind if you could give the details of the store? Would love to snoop through the website and maybe shoot a few questions to them! Not entirely dead set on the Oneplus 10 Pro but the battery life, charging speed and camera are pretty attractive!
