Oneplus Deals & Offers

Because there isn't any ordered lots of bits from GB without getting hit by customs

my comment was deleted, are you not allowed to link to comparable deals? anyway, my point was the shipping estimate on this is crazy long 40 plus days, see higher than usual even from china.

What is the point of posting offers like this without including duties, taxes and handling fees ? :/

Should be "Fartacy Technology" surely?

The name alone "Fantacy Technology" just makes me cringe.

Anyone know of any other good deals on a OnePlus 5T? Struggling to find anything decent

Never had problems with Gearbest .. i think you should make your "first" purchase with them, might change your feedback

Don't think you should really celebrate until you actually receive it ... oh and then have an year or two of trouble-free use without the need to contact gearbest for a repair/replacement. Good luck !

Just got shipping email .. topcashback tracked £19 .. paid £299 with credit card .. all in all good deal for £280 .. cheers op

I purchased the OnePlus 5T from GearBest around a month ago, got caught by DHL who rang me up telling me that they we're trying to avoid Import Tax & was being sued. They returned the phone back to GearBest and I went to buy it from O2. Great phone though, not sure if the same will happen with normal shipping.

Nope. The importer is responsible for paying the correct VAT, not the exporter. What is declared is irrelevant, the importer still owes HMRC the correct amount of VAT. That they rarely catch people, is another matter.

Yes now expired.

Honor 9 only has a 5.15 inch screen. That's probably why it doesn't get as much heat and is a deal breaker for me. I won't get any phone with less than 5.5 inch screen.

Does this need to be expired? Not finding this 'instant' voucher upon purchase. Existing customer, new or guest checkout.

£360 delivered at techinthebasket.com & around £415-£420 for the 128gb storage 8gb ram version

Comparisons are fake, best pictures selected and shot on tripods.Theybare not a true representation of what you will produce. All of Oneplus's phone have had poor camera's Video reproduction is rubbish with a 20-30% crop of the original field of view on the front and the rear camera Look for low light video reviwers it's shocking, all the major reviwers avoid showing this like the plague. Any movement brings a blurring to the video, there is no ois so it really is hit or miss. If you need a good cam you won't find one here.

Since my 3t updated to oreo late last year the sound gives out every now and then. Means I miss texts because it has stopped notifying me unless it still lets me know via my watch which it does occasionally.In call volume also drops off and I have to reboot to improve both these problems. I also bought from O2 so I was covered by UK regulations.

"feature", lol. I have a few groups on 'mute' on WhatsApp and almost every few messages I get, that notifications is showing up. Completely useless.

The notification about apps using battery is a feature in android 8 so you can't balme that one on oneplus, if you do a search I think there's an app which can get rid of it

It's registered with them ("for warranty") and they know where it was bought from. But then, so did LG.... It wasn't until I came to claim for the GPS issue that they refused to admit there is a known problem and said new phones bought on eBay are not covered. Hopefully I won't have to find out! So far very pleased with my 5.

Still waiting 2 months for two mouse mats

This post was a epic fail. Cold.

Yep your right, most companies have good and bad interactions, but as said, when I had a problem they sorted it immediately. The point I was trying to make, was it seems harsh on the op to go to this effort and get this now -85 score, particularly for a company that has a bad image, but personally an unwarranted one. Anyway, let’s leave it there, while we have some parity ;)

Well mine and the personal experience of at least one other person who bought the phone :). Every company has good and bad interactions with customers of course. I'm not suggesting that people are definitely going to have a bad experience with GB and I wouldn't say to definitely avoid them, but I do think people are more likely to have a bad experience with them than with Amazon for example. Trying to get almost 200% of the cost of a phone from me is something I'd expect from a scammer, not an established retailer. They also did the exact same thing with at least one other person on HUKD. Imagine Amazon charging a customer the advertised price for a product, then asking for almost the same amount again to post it out. They'd be rightly crucified. Aye I don't think the -82 is warranted at all.

...in your personal experience, I had a dash cam sent to me, which I’m pretty sure I broke, got onto their customer services, explained I was very unhappy and would open a dispute with PayPal, but they sent me a replacement without hesitating and it’s still going strong today. The point I was making is there seems to be a lot of negativity with this company, which as said from personal experience is totally unjust, and that would deter some people from buying from them. You and many others have had problems. Many others and myself haven’t, just wanted to balance the argument a little, and also shout out for the op who put effort into this and gets -80 degrees unfairly for their troubles, partly because of the bad press,but I do agree that you should use PayPal for peace of mind.

paid £500 for mine which is the 128gb version and that was late november directly from oneplus.....worth every penny! absolutly brilliant phone.

http://bgr.com/2018/01/26/oneplus-data-collection-clipboard-app/ In October 2017, a researcher caught OnePlus silently collecting all sorts of data from its users. Now, a new report says that there's still a OnePlus app that can grab data from the phone and send it to servers in China without a user's knowledge or express consent. BGR reports: The French security researcher hiding behind the name Elliot Alderson on Twitter detailed OnePlus's data collection practices back in October, and he has now discovered a strange file in the OnePlus clipboard app. A Badword.txt file contains various keywords, including "Chairman, Vice President, Deputy Director, Associate Professor, Deputy Heads, General, Private Message, shipping, Address, email," and others. The file is then duplicated in a zip file called pattern alongside six other .txt files. All these files are apparently used in "in an obfuscated package which seems to be an #Android library from teddymobile." Now, TeddyMobile is a Chinese company that works with plenty of smartphone makers from China. The company seems to be able to recognize words and numbers in text messages. And OnePlus is apparently sending your phone's IMEI number to a TeddyMobile server, too. It looks like the TeddyMobile package might be able to grab all sorts of data from a phone. Even bank numbers are apparently recognized. OnePlus has yet to issue a statement on the matter. https://twitter.com/fs0c131y Other chinese phone manufacturers are know for similar activities.

Anyone know how long the warranty is for this if purchased directly from Oneplus? I can't find the answer on their site. Thanks

Guys is it safe to buy phones from gearbeast?

Good luck if you receive a faulty item or need a refund... Useless company

Is this the international version and does it have international warranty ? Also should I expect a duty charge on top from hk ?

Pipe down you clown. I read exactly what you said. I didn't buy my 3T to shoot 4k video and not many do. If I were doing that seriously, I'd buy a proper camera. No one buys a oneplus for its camera. It's crap I do take plenty of short clips and they upload to the cloud and delete from my phone. Done. No issue. There are many many reasons to have this phone over and above your stupid use case (that no one else in the world would seriously use a phone for) What proportion of the sales do you think are for the 64gb model Vs the higher on all models? The vast majority take the base storage. Over 80% of the iPhones are sold at 64gb. Are 80% of people wrong and you're right? Should they all have given their money to charity? Or could maybe, just maybe, you could be wrong?

You're thick aren't you? Read what I replied above.

I was talking about shooting 4k videos. I know very well everybody is on Netflix nowadays. One hour of 4k is 20GB on that phone so you do the math. Again, if 64GB is enough for you in 2018 you really don't need a Oneplus 5t. Get yourself a Xiaomi Note 5 Plus for £150 and donate the rest for charity.

I don't think it was. He talked about watching films on a PC oh holiday.

Good price for the 128GB version usually £499.

Is not the 8Gb / 128Gb Red version though... I think I will wait for the white to come back in stock as I think is gorgeous... Thanks (y)

I got one few days ago. No customs charges. Comes royal mail tracked if you pay the £8 insurance. Though banggood has same phone at £378

Yeah same here, They doing the Black OnePlus 5T for £429.03 OnePlus 5T Black

Just order as normal delivery and not dhl .. you should be alright .. ordered 6-7 phones from them .. never paid custom

The price advertised is the full price I paid.😁

​worth paying a bit more which will give warranty and returns / repair and uk consumer protection when spending money like this.

Very little chance of VAT been added. I have bought from bangood loads of times and never had an issue.

Hi thanks for the heads up. Three's no good for me.

really wanna buy it but with the price that gearbest has on now...376 but if I have to pay duty then its gonna go well over 420 maybe even 440 ...I'm better off buying it directly from oneplus then. I don't know what to do :(

Thanks for the feedback.... Glad I'm sticking to pixel xl as i was seriously considering this phone!

I recently switched to oneplus 5t from pixel xl (1st gen) and regret decision. Main reason is camera. Coming from pixel xl it was sort of downgrade. Stabilisation part is so poor that even a smallest movement is blurred in image. Performance otherwise is top notch

any import taxes , if we buy from gearbest ?

Same as every other phone scratches at 6-7.I always use a screen protector so doesn't affect me anyway.

This is a hell of a phone

Yeah, just got it at that price, as O2 told me £516 on the phone or £499 in store + PAYG SIM.. Hope I like it..! (nerd)

How did u make use of the dual SIM function..?

Yeah, I'm an existing o2 customer, just coming to the end of a 24 month contract. I went through the exact steps you stated above. Just the luck of the draw I guess.

Ah I didn't know that. Yeah my Nexus 6 is like brand new aswell. Tbh I don't think I could get rid of my Nexus either.

Carphonewarehouse will give £100 for a Nexus 6 as long as there is no significant damage and it turns on. The problem is mine looks like it's brand new. It's had a screen protector and full bumper case on it since the day I got it. Absolutely immaculate. It's almost too good to hand over to Carphonewarehouse. That said, this OnePlus 5T is so fast and smooth. And a better size too. It's definitely an upgrade. Just a shame about the camera. Hopefully a software update will fix it soon.

From my limited amount of orders with Gearbest - generally, they are pretty slow. One was a knockoff BOSS Belt which took about a month to ship (can't give it as a Xmas present! btw, the recipient knows it's not real!) - the Axon 7 thread has a few complaining about how slow it took to dispatch - six weeks in my case. Ordered here and there from Banggood and they seem to be much quicker with dispatch times - one time was a pre-order and took a while, but at least I knew to expect that with a pre-order.

I have a nexus 6 aswell but reluctant to move to any phone as I think its a downgrade lol. Nexus 6 is deffo special.

I had 8 outstanding orders to come on Monday but after Thursday 3 arrived and another today so I'm waiting for four orders to come. One was a 75p USB cable which isn't worth worrying about. But I've got three others I'm waiting for all of which were insured so it's more out of time than money that is concerning for those.

Why not What? A full quote would have made it easier to anser your question. If your referring to Netflix, unless they have recently resolved this issue in the last update, it cant play HDR content and it wasn' even able to handle full HD. There were several threads on the HD subject, on HDR it ain't a flagship so it does not have Flagship capabilities. OP software is a joke they have Bluetooth 5 on the OP5 without the ability to connect to 2 speakers, one of the basic functions of 5.0. The last I read anything on that subject it was still the same on the 5T.

Whoa, why not..? :/

Just lolled reading this argument, would be hilarious to see opinions swiftly change if you actually used one. Granted, everyone's entitled to their own opinion, but for a phone half the price it stands for something when people are comparing it to the likes of the Pixel 2, IPhone X, Galaxy s8+ etc.

Haha! I've never looked back to be honest, I still stand by the fact it generally feels like it performs much better than the S8+. I'd say that the battery life, general UX, sound quality, FP + ret sensor and Oxygen are +1's on Samsung. Also, cheers for the link to the beta, have you got the phone / done it?

Not that it's ever happened to me (though I don't order much from Gearbest/Banggood/China in general) but I have seen a few threads on HUKD where this has happened. https://techtablets.com/forum/topic/ripped-off-by-gearbest-empty-box-delivered/ There's a reason why I *shook* my parcel after I took it off my postie (though my postman must have thought I was mad). Was your parcel tampered with? The Axon 7 I got earlier in December came in double grey polythene bags, and the phone box itself was cellophaned, delivered by Royal Mail. I think people are trying to determine whether couriers are more risky or the UK company that handles Gearbest parcels (as I understand it, I think this company receives drop-shipped parcels that come via Belgium/Europe before relabelling them for UK post)? It seems a bit ridiculous to video every package you receive (as some advise) because it just isn't possible in some cases. Credit Card Chargeback or Paypal Dispute is the way to go, I think - Gearbest will just keep stalling you endlessly, from what I've read.

Ouch! That's real bad luck. The customs label was for 20USD!! Hopefully you'll get your money back though. I've bought a couple of things from gearbest without issue now, I'd be happy to use them again.

Waited 3 weeks for this 2 arrive.and it was delivered today by Royal Mail and the parcel was empty apart from some packing 😡 I should have known better than ordering from China.

Mine turned up today, no extra charges - very happy with the deal, £70 off! :D

No, I wasn't being serious - but thanks for humouring me! :D :D I was wondering why it was being referred to as a phablet as it's nothing like imo. I own the 5t and it's not even as big as an iPhone + model.
