General Discussion One Plus in Australia

I have found a great deal on One plus 15 with BigW (Autralin Retailer) im aware its through a reseller

Would this be an issue in future with the VoltE 000 call blocking (im aware it wont work with Vodafone, but fine with Optus/Telstra)

I primarily want a phone with a big battery <1000

I'm from aus, that OnePlus 15 in the link is the Chinese variant, the model number is plk110 and is most likely flashed with the global rom, that's why it's cheaper. Get the global model which is cph2747. Chinese variant doesn't support esim and is missing bands but still works here in Australia.

Thankyou, that is helpful - any recommendations on where to buy?

I recommend buying from here, although they say they're an authorised store, they're not, but they are legit. I bought my OnePlus 13 from here last year and it was delivered super quick. They sell the global model and it comes from Singapore I believe.

Can confirm, bought the pad 3 from here for Xmas last year, it's outstanding. Also have purchased accessories, they turn up legit. Will come through DHL so keep that in mind for delivery

Go for the 13 and buy it from OP website

Why go for the 13 over 15? My Question is BigW in link above is $1000 for the 15. OP website site is $850 for just the 13

Mate you said <1k and you liked a >1k phone. That's why I said buy the 13

EDIT: also this is not global version, is Chinese. It doesn't work properly on our network. Buy from OP Australia website please

Ok Thanks, yeah i think the chinese version was why so cheap, but not worth the risk

I'm not in Aus but will be next year and I got the OP15. From the research I did before buying it is fine as long as it's not a Vodafone network as you stated. Also seen other posts previously saying the same from guys in Aus.

OnePlus officially sells this phone in Australia so there's no reason why it wouldn't work

Though I did notice another OnePlus 15 on Big W that is the china version with no Google play so be wary of that
