OnePlus 8 5G UW 128GB 8GB RAM Verizon - Onyx Black (Renewed)

This is a flagship phone that was originally 800 USD from Verizon back in 2021. I got nearly two years of use before I cracked the case and since Verizon no longer carries this manufacturer, I decided to try a replacement. I'm happy to say this phone works perfectly. All I had to do was swap my SIM, and then login with Google and I was up and running. I just love the clean OS and everyone oohs about the quality of photos it takes. It's not like there's any major advances in the last two years that I absolutely need so this phone works perfect for my needs. Great job!

this phone arrived in "like new" cosmetic condition, if aftermarket parts were used in the refurb i can't tell. the only imperfection is minor marks around the charge port, as you would expect from people plugging something in. Further, I was not expecting it to come with a charger at all, however it came with a high quality Samsung branded charger, not oem but a quality charger giving it a second life. 10/10 purchase.

Phone is fast and runs apps quickly. After many months of using and traveling, it has the worst reception, in low strength areas forget it. If you never leave a major Metro area it's great. Even at my home, a rural community of 60k, I get 2 bars of 4g maybe late some times, have to use home wifi most of time. A few areas of town I get 5g and is good there. The ability to choose which network 4g or 5g is poor, default is automatically, but Verizon wellness check doesn't like that. Verizon's instructions to change it are wrong as well. The phone likes to cling to a poor 5g signal, even when there is an excellent 4g LTE signal available. Also it holds lock on distant tower when there is a closer one. I continually have to put into airplane mode to release and aquire towers. If I where to do over I would not pick this phone. Updating this review, now the video camera won't work keeps giving error message already in use by another app. I have tried all the "fixes" on the internet, and some times I can use my video camera, but it always takes 10 to 20 minutes to make it work. Now this is not a new problem with OnePlus or this model, it is an old problem across many OnePlus models. If you go the OnePlus community page you find current active threads asking for solutions to very issue many are years old. No help from OnePlus. I have had it with this phone, I will never ever buy another OnePlus anything. I am certainly glad I didn't spend flagship release $$ on this POS.

I really like this phone. It said renewed but when I got it, it was like new. All the original accessories was untouched and the phone was never activated before. Original software and everything. I am a believer of Amazon's renewed program. I have some pros and cons but keep in mind the price was so good that the cons is easily overlooked. For those who worry about being permanently locked to Verizon, Verizon requires 60 days of activation if you receive a phone from them that was never activated. After 60 days, the phone is unlocked. Cons: 1. Accessories are limited because this is the Verizon variant 2. Slow updates. If you want the latest Oxygen OS releases from One Plus, the Verizon variant is not included 3. In screen fingerprint sensor can sometimes be hit or miss 4. The display could be a little better in bright sunlight but I seen worse. Pros: 1. The display is really fluid and has nice colors. 2. The phone feels fast and smooth 3. Solid battery life, I can get through a full heavy day and need to charge late at night or first thing in the morning 4. The warp charge feature is amazing. I was able to go zero to 100 in 1 hour and 8 minutes. You can get to 50 easy in about 25 to 30 minutes 5. Call quality is excellent 6. Dolby speaker is crisp and loud 7. Gaming on this phone is a breeze 8. Cameras are acceptable. Not quite top tier but definitely better than your normal budget and mid range options (except the pixel 5a and iPhone SE) 9. The Verizon variant does have the IP68 rating and the unlocked version doesn't have it. 10. This version supports Verizon's millimeter wave 5G network

Best bang for buck !

The phone is in a very good condition. I want to activate it in visible carrier. However it is locked. I called both Verizon and Verizon prepaid, they spent hours with me through the phone and figured that this phone belongs to Verizon business account, they cannot unlock it. And you can't use it in other CDMA carrier, like Visible😮‍💨 returned it eventually.

I dropped my expensive phone in the pool and it never really recovered. I am on Verizon, so this was an easy pick. For $250 I haven't noticed any performance degredation as compared to my $1000 phone that went in the drink.

Great condition, fully functional. Works with Verizon and has working 5G with Verizon.

Me gustó mucho que no tiene ninguna falla, las cámaras funcionan bien, la pantalla no tiene un solo rayón, la parte de atrás es cristal y está impecable, muy recomendable aparte de que es muy buen equipo, parece nuevo. Vale la pena

Me llegó en excelentes condiciones, casi como nuevo. Tiene pequeños detalles estéticos visibles sólo si los buscas minuciosamente, porque a simple vista está como nuevo. Me aceptó chip Telcel para México, a pesar de decir que está bloqueado. Aunque dice que es Vendido y Enviado por Amazon US, en realidad es vendido por Edge Cellular, así que se agredece la buena estética con la que mandan sus equipos.

Excelente dispositivo, con una batería muy buena y un rendimiento espectacular. Es importante tener en cuenta que es un modelo especial de Verizon, por lo que NO LE QUEDA CUALQUIER PROTECTOR y sigue en Android 11 (y no parece que haya planes de OnePlus o Verizon para actualizarlo). Si. Los puntos arriba no son inconveniente para ti, no dudes en adquirirlo.

No lo use, no me gustó por que en las características publicadas dice que esta en excelente estado y llego con muchas marcas de uso y sucio!... El cristal protector de la cámara principal con rayones

Compre dos y uno de ellos tiene falla pues la pantalla empieza a parpadear, se apaga y se incia con una pantalla negra con un menú en tresi idiomas. Si viene liberado y llegó en buenas condiciones físicas. El único problema es el mencionado anteriormente pues lo hace en un par de ocasiones durante el día.
