This phone is exactly as advertised. The condition is almost perfect, the phone came with an acceptable USB-C cable and AC adapter, and the phone activated on T-Mobile without issue. The software updated once connected to a reasonably recent Android patch level as well.The Problem (for me):I purchased this model because it's compatible with LineageOS. I didn't know at the time that in order to unlock the bootloader on this device, you have to submit an unlocking code to OnePlus, which they in-turn have to approve and then they, supposedly, will send you an unlock token.I requested an unlock code on 11/29/2023 and as of 1/13/2024 it's still listed as "Status: Applied" with no response. According to the unlock website it should only take 1-2 weeks to receive an unlock token. It was a Christmas gift so even if they reply now, it won't matter, but just a heads up for those who might be interested in this device for the same reason.
Great budget phone. Obviously you get budget phones knowing it's not the top of the line, but it can complete all of your essential functions for you. OnePlus battery life has always been top tier and I'd say that's the best thing about the phone. I use the phone as a 2nd phone for music and games. It lasts me 2 days plus on 1 charge (since it's my 2nd phone I only use it a couple hours a day). It serves my purpose, so I like it.Things I don't use it for so I could care less, but other might want to know:Camera quality isn't great. Front facing is even worse.Finger print reader is designed for your right thumb, which I'm not a huge fan of.Phone is rather bulky (but this might be something you like)
Works good
