Absolutely. I have had the T-Mobile version for a couple of months. I have been offered the option to upgrade to the OP 8, and I'm keeping the 7pro because the 8 isn't an upgrade IMO.

It absolutely is. It's my backup phone right now but I still use it pretty regularly around the house. I wish my Note 10+ was as smooth, fast and fluid.

Looking to pick up the 8 from TMO looks like a nice device plus I have 5g outside my house. 5g is just a little faster the 4 but they are speeding up the 5g daily.

Just picked up the TMO version. 8GB Ram, 256GB fast storage. $450. This phone is fast and smooth and a GREAT value at the price. It works the way every Sammy phone should...

This is by far the best phone ive ever used,i don't take many pictures so the camera is more than ill need.
The full hole punchless screen is absolutely stunning to look at. I could stare at it all day.
The cure edges are awesome i have a case on this phone so the curved edges aren't any issue for me.
Any by the way it's super quick.
Love it.

Absolutely. I currently have the 7 Pro along with an S20+ and Pixel 4 XL. It is the slickest of the 3 easily day to day and other than no AOD Oxygen OS is the best android skin out there IMO. The screen is also terrific with 90hz at full resolution too.

Putting the Pixel aside the camera is IMO still a more reliable choice vs the S20 for most real world photos and with a solid Gcam v7* available the camera gets even better.

I agree..in the same boat..7pro still a dominant phone on T-Mobile..but if the 8pro came to T-Mobile I probably would've upgraded tbh

Same here. I was hoping they would offer the 8pro but I suppose I will wait to see the 8T or maybe just wait to see what the OP9 will be.

I cannot agree with previous posters. The 7 Pro could have been an excellent phone if it weren't for the ghosting problem that seems to be related to the NFC feature. I have not been able to get a handle on it. For a while it worked fine, and I thought the latest system updated fixed the problem. But it's back, and annoying the heck out of me. I know it can be partially my fault as I use it with Verizon. But as long as OnePlus assures me that it works with VZ, I hold them accountable if it doesn't.

I haven't found a single phone that makes me want to switch. Apparently, all the fear mongering about the pop up selfie camera has scared everybody away from the format. All the new phones have punch hole cameras which are completely unappealing to me after using a real full screen phone for over a year. I have a feeling I won't be upgrading until under screen selfie cameras are ready for prime time, or popup selfie cameras make a comeback.

I really like the pop camera , had mine since it launched no regrets.

I'm not one to want moving parts just for the sake of 0.00% bezels, but when I think about it, I so rarely use the selfie camera that I'd barely ever strain the motor if I had a 7 Pro lol

Lol...
I had mine since launch no issues with the pop up , I think by the time that mechanism fails I'll be one plus 12 or something :))
