We asked, you told us: The OnePlus 8T is worth it at the new price tag
August 23, 2025
TheOnePlus 9 seriesrecently launched, bringing several upgrades to the fold as well as a partnership with camera company Hasselblad. These new releases have also resulted in a discount for the six-month-oldOnePlus 8T.
We conducted along-term reviewof the OnePlus 8T and also asked AndroidAuthorityreaders whether they thought the older phone was worth buying at its discounted $599 price tag. Here’s how you answered this question.
Is the OnePlus 8T worth it at $599?
We posted the poll and long-term review on April 24, and 1,297 votes were tallied as of writing. Just over 17% of readers were on the wall about whether the OnePlus 8T was worth its discounted price tag.
Meanwhile, a total of 22.3% of respondents simply felt that the phone wasn’t worth buying even at the new price. Our own Luke Pollack came to this conclusion in his revisited review, citing rival devices like the OnePlus 8 Pro (available for $100 more) and the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE.
Luke also pointed to the vanilla OnePlus 9, which is available for $130 extra. For that extra cash, you get a better ultra-wide camera, wireless charging (outside India), and theSnapdragon 888SoC.
The biggest result came from the “yes” camp though, as just over 60% of polled readers thought the OnePlus 8T was worth it at $599. I can see why people voted for this option too, as you’re still getting a great phone overall. There’s the Snapdragon 865 chipset, 120Hz OLED screen, 65W wired charging, 256GB of storage, and a 4,500mAh battery. You might not want to splash out $130 extra on the OnePlus 9 if all you need is a smooth experience and fast charging.
