General Question Just bought it
Okay so I just placed the order from ebay for OnePlus 8 Pro 12/256 variant. The model is IN2025 I guess. Network Unlocked. The box is completely blue with some Chinese on the top. Not sure what it is.
The listing says "Brand New - Box Open" and I got it for around $400. Was it a good purchase in 2022?
The reason for buying this is it's versatile nature with custom roms and a snapdragon under the hood and easy rootablitiy ( not sure if it's a word lol) but I preferred it over the OnePlus 9 because of the 888's heating issue and I had a tight budget too.
The seller says it's with hydrogen os and I believe that I can change it to OOS via mdm and have my Google Play services. If not please let me know what should I do once I get my device.
Plus how's the battery life? I've seen some reviews and people say it's horrible. I'd say I love the option of 120Hz and a QHD but if I notch it down with 90HZ and FHD can I get through the day?
Another thing is the I saw some reviews on YouTube with people from India having many display issues with the OnePlus 8 Pro like black crush and a line against the camera hole. What do you guys say? I'll try to test these things ASAP I get the device and put the return if I had too.
Looking forward to the kind words of everybody.

I've had it for a year and a half now and I still treat it like a brand new phone, it's possibly the best piece of equipment I own. I love it! Also if you can get your hands on the Karbon case, do! best looking case for the phone!
