Ordered as a replacement for an old OnePlus 5T. This refurbished unit was in like-new shape; the screen is bright and vibrant, the case is free of scratches or blemishes. The user interface was snappy and responsive. It took my T-Mobile SIM card and joined the 5G network without any issues. Good value for the price. Seems to have good battery life, a benefit of the slightly larger cell.
Of course I immediately unlocked the bootloader and converted it to a custom ROM. This device now runs an official LineageOS image, and does it quite well. I'm enjoying the improved camera, larger storage and faster processor. I can get up to 2 days out of the battery with modest usage.
The screen-based fingerprint sensor is a little slower than the ceramic sensor on the OP5T, but I got used to it quickly.
It's a worthy upgrade over the OP5T. Of course it has its quirks. Nevertheless, I can see being happy on this platform for several more years to come. My only concern is being able to replace the USB port or battery, when they will inevitably need it.
This phone NEEDS a case. The profile is slim, and the raised boss for the camera module sticks out like a big nose. The texture of the back case is a little too slippy in my hands. Even a $10 TPU shell helps, and will.protect the rounded screen edge. I went with the Spigen one, and am really happy with it.
