The OnePlus 8 series may be out now, but there’s still a lot to love in last year’s OnePlus 7, 7 Pro, and 7 Pro 5G. Not least the fact that they’re all cheaper than ever now thanks to the later models.
We’re keeping an eye on the best prices for the new OnePlus 7 phones, both SIM-free and on contract, so watch this space.
If you do decide to go for one of these devices, you might also want to read our round-up of the best OnePlus 7 and 7 Pro cases to keep your new smartphone safe.
Read our reviews of the OnePlus 7 Pro and OnePlus 7 if you still need to decide – and see how the two phones compare.
OnePlus 7 trade-in deals
One way to save is to trade-in an older phone when you buy a OnePlus 7 phone. Amazon is offering up to £400 in trade-in value for any phone. You can trade in an older OnePlus phone or a phone from another manufacturer.
OnePlus offers trade-in value itself, but since the 7 and 7 Pro are both out of stock from the manufacturer, that will only help if you want to buy a OnePlus 7T or OnePlus 8.
See OnePlus’ trade-in program to see how much your old device is worth.
Where to buy OnePlus 7 & 7 Pro SIM-free
The regular OnePlus 7 is out of stock from OnePlus itself, though you can pick it up from Gearbest. This is how much it cost at launch, so you know if you’re getting a good deal or not:
- 6GB RAM/128GB storage: £499
- 8GB RAM/256GB storage: £549
The OnePlus 7 Pro is also out of stock from OnePlus, but you can pick it up from Amazon for £669. Right now it’s cheaper from from John Lewis at £599, a £100 price drop from the £699 RRP. The model, in an Almond colour exclusive to John Lewis, comes with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage. If you don’t like Almond you can get the same spec in Nebula Blue, but it’ll cost more at £669 – the same price as Amazon.
Here’s what it cost at launch:
- 6GB RAM/128GB storage: £649/$669 (Mirror Gray)
- 8GB RAM/256GB storage: £699/$699 (Mirror Gray, Nebula Blue, Almond)
- 12GB RAM/256GB storage: £799/$749 (Nebula Blue)

When is Black Friday 2020 – should you wait for a better deal?
Black Friday will take place on Friday 27 November, immediately followed by Cyber Monday on 30 November. Traditionally the biggest sales event of the year, it may yet throw up some even greater tech deals – but with so much uncertainty around finance and retail, and no guarantees regarding what discounts we will see, we advise you not to wait: if you see a deal you like, on a product you need, and you can afford the outlay, buy it today.
