Good day, I have brand new sealed OnePlus 6 128gb. Please let me know if anyone interested. I can provide you with references. guys! I import them. Thanks
They don't ship to SA. So you either use friends or family who are travelling (best option as you don't pay taxes or shipping) or you use a mail forwarding service like Stackry. Or this guy two posts above who is selling them.
Regardless of how you get it, the one but huge downside to owning a OnePlus device here is what happens if you damage it. Sending it back to OnePlus is slow and expensive, and that's excluding the actual cost of repairs. Samsung and Huawei have a big edge with this aspect and it's an important point to consider if you're prone to damaging your devices. I'm not prone to that though and haven't had an issue since the OnePlus One, which I bought the week it released. I have used only OnePlus devices since then, as it's pretty much impossible to switch to anything else once you've owned one.

I bought my OnePlus 3T from Shenzhen Pophong Store on Aliexpress.
Will definitely be buying the 6T from them;

If you haven't received the OTA yet and want to manually update to Android Pie right now, this page has the download link for the official update file:

Busy installing on my phone now.

I'm really digging Pie. The new volume adjustment popup location isn't obtrusive finally. The notification blocks are more stylish. I'm hopeful about the smart brightness thing as I've always frequently adjusted it to my liking, even on auto. The new navigation button is pretty fun to use and looks much better than the conventional ones.
The file is legit. Someone on the OP forum confirmed the MD5 hash, and I've been running Android Pie happily since shortly after my post above.
Thanks I'd rather wait. It's less work and from a trusted source then.

The adaptive brightness is the best part of Android Pie imo. I haven't manually adjusted my brightness even once today - it finally just works as I like it. Can't believe how quickly it adapted to my preferences.

Adaptive brightness has always been a part of Android.
Nope - it's new with Android Pie. I'm not talking about the old auto brightness. Pie uses AI style stuff to learn your preferences. It even had its moment on stage at the last Google IO.
