The OnePlus 9 Series has just launched this week but that means you can get a bargain on older devices. Last year’s OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro both have a huge £250 off in the Amazon Spring Sale.
Phones move fast and with the OnePlus 8T, the 8 series might seem really old but one-year is not that bad. With prices going up for the OnePlus 9 series, these deals seem even better with the OnePlus 8 at just £349 and the 8 Pro available for £649.
That’s a discount of 42- and 28% respectively but act fast as the Spring Sale will end on 31 March and Amazon may run out of stock before then.
Newer phones might have upgrades but we’re actually not overly impressed with the OnePlus 9 now at £629 and the OnePlus 9 Pro at £829.
They have chunky designs with a divisive mirrored finish and while a Snapdragon 888 and 120Hz display are welcome, there are camera issues despite collaboration with Hasselblad.
With the fantastic 4.5/5 rated OnePlus 8 at £349 you can almost buy two for the same price as the 9 and you get a much sleeker design along with a 90Hz display, 30W charging, triple cameras and the same RAM and storage options.
Stepping up to the 5/5 OnePlus 8 Pro gets you a 120Hz refresh rate, additional telephoto lens and a higher resolution ultra-wide camera at 48Mp. It also benefits from wireless charging and an IP68 waterproof rating.
Amazon has two other OnePlus phones in the sale that might take your fancy if the 8 doesn’t suit you. The OnePlus Nord 5G is down to £419 and the OnePlus N100 4G is just £129.
