OnePlus 8T

[SVK]

I am using Samsung A8+ from last 2.5 years, so now looking to replace phone.
I don't want Xiaomi, Oppo, Vivo, Realme, Poco phones because of reports like Adverts displayed in UI (and also them being Chinese OEM).

I would like to buy phone such that I can use it for another 2-3 years. So having 5G ready phone is good to have.
I would like to have Snapdragon based phone, which Samsung does not provide. Phone should get constant updates and new features for next 2-3 years. Display should be OLED, which Nokia does not provide.
Finally budget should be around 40K.
As of now only 8T fits all requirement which I mentioned. (though OnePlus is also Chinese, but their UI is clean)

I hope Samsung S20 FE comes with Snapdragon 865 (like S10 lite), or Samsung launch A51/A71 successor with Snapdragon processor. Or Nokia launches 8.3 in India.

OnePlus 7t pro would be a better option imo, right now should be around 38k I guess including all the discounts
I have 8 pro and I regret my decision to be honest..

I'm considering 8 Pro. Outside of high price is there anything particularly bad about it? I heard camera of 8 Pro is better than 7 Pro.

Carl Pei has left?

Yeah, he has left! I think the innovation stopped and the company settled with the trends. Their software is what's making the phone different otherwise it's a rebranded Oppo device.

Camera is better yea, display is a mixed bag, although the quality is really awesome but it has Black crush and green tint issues which the company is not bothered to address, it seems to be a hardware one..
I would favour 7t pro in this case because the camera is not bad at all and you won't have the display issues in it

If anyone is using this phone , can you comment about how the phone is doing now ?? Has a OTA update changed anything and is it worth buying it ? I will getting a 3K discount on the SBI Credit card. The reuqirement is a good display . This phone has 120Hz , so I thought it will be good for reading articles and such.

But I am really skeptical due to the display issues people have faced and the old IMX sensor it has . Do all phones have the problem ?

I checked out S20 FE and quite frankly , I dont like Exynos .

Fe Snapdragon is rumored to come to India.

S20 FE didn't feel quite right. Something about it was quite off when I checked it, also the camera is meh. 8T would be quite better imo.

Am torn between iPhone 11, OP 8T and the upcoming OP 9 series. Tough decisions. Never had an Iphone before but there is not much choice in stock Android phones considering prices.
