Will the OnePlus 8T work on all US carrier networks? (Including 5G.) By RandoTechInfo

Hello and welcome to nanotech info, so today we're talking about OnePlus, new Frankenstein phone, the OnePlus 8t and the reason I call it. The Frankenstein phone is because it pulls a lot of its features and specs from previous recent OnePlus devices. It has the form factor of the 7t with the same screen, size resolution and the screen like the 7t is flat. It has the hole punch of the OnePlus 8 and a 120hz refresh rate of the 8 pro. Furthermore, it has very similar specs to the OnePlus 8 from earlier this year, including the same processor, the snapdragon 865, not the 865 plus. Now, personally, I don't think that's a huge deal.

You don't get a huge performance boost from the plus in fact last year, when people did head-to-head side-by-side comparisons of the snapdragon 855 and the 855 plus and a lot of tasks. The original 855 was actually a little quicker and I think that probably boils down to thermal throttling. The overclocked chip in the plus models tends to have diminishing returns on certain tasks. So really not a huge deal very similar, specs overall speed's not going to be an issue with an OnePlus phone. It has very similar battery capacity to the OnePlus 8, very similar camera specs to the OnePlus 8, including a 48 megapixel wide camera, a 16 megapixel, ultrawide, camera and yeah.

There are a couple of junk throwaway sensors there as well now to be fair. There are a couple of new things on this device that have never been seen on an OnePlus device before including 65 watt charging, which OnePlus claims will charge your phone 60 in about 15 minutes. It also comes with oxygen 11 out of the box. Oxygen is, of course, OnePlus android skin uh. It is apparently the first android 11 phones out of the box besides Google's own pixel phones, so it's definitely got both of those things going for it.

Finally, as of right now, you were able to pre-order this phone on both OnePlus own website and on T-Mobile's website for 749. So will this phone work on your US carriers network? Well, predictably, if you're on T-Mobile, yes, it will work on your network. Just fine. The phone is being sold at T-Mobile after all, so if you're on T-Mobile your 4g and your 5g is totally covered, you're good to go, 18 Verizon is a little trickier situation. So on Verizon you get all their 4g bands, so you'll have great coverage.

There.5G is a little up in the air. Uh Verizon just launched its nationwide 5g low band coverage, so we're not really sure yet what the rules are for phones being certified to work on their network. Some places are saying it will work on Verizon. Other places are saying it won't work on Verizon. We know what frequency bands Verizon is using for its low band 5g, and it does use those bands.

The hardware compatibility is there, so it's just a matter of if Verizon is allowing this phone to be used on its network or not. I think that's something we'll probably find more information out down the road. If you are on Verizon, and you are interested in getting this phone, I would contact Verizon directly and see if Verizon's 5g will work on this device and the story with ATT is very similar. So this phone uses eight out of nine of ATT's 4g frequency bands that uses all their major frequency bands. So you should be good with your 4g 5g wise.

This phone is not approved to work on ATT's 5g network, so at t is very particular about what phones it's allowing to use its 5g network right now and apparently this phone is not on the list. So, if you're on a t, you'll get good 4g, but you won't get 5g at least not at this time. So where does that leave us with this device? Well, if you're on T-Mobile, and you're an OnePlus fan- and you want to get this phone, obviously you can get it without hesitation. It will work right on your network. You are fine now, if you're on Verizon or a t, this is a much tougher sell to spend 750 on a phone that may or may not get 5g functionality now or down.

The road just doesn't make a lot of sense to me. No, you don't need 5g right now in 2020, but if you're going to go out and buy a new phone in 2020 for future proofing purchases, it probably makes sense to get a phone that can use 5g if you have a t or Verizon. Personally, I would give a serious look to the s20 fan edition. The Samsung Galaxy s20 fan edition. That phone has very similar specs to the 80.

It has a very similar price to the 80, and it will definitely work across all frequency bands on the US carriers, so you're just going to get a more reliable phone in that way. Well, that's all the useful information I have today about the OnePlus 8t. What are your thoughts about this phone? Do you think it compares well to the latest offerings from Samsung and google? Let me know down in the comments. As always. I hope you found this video useful thanks for watching and until next time this is random tech info signing out.
