The OnePlus 8 is being announced on Tuesday, do we know if it's coming to O2?

Thanks,

Hi @Chris_K 

Thank you!

Now that the OnePlus 8 has been announced, can we say if it will be offered by O2?

Thanks again,

Pietro

O2 won't be supplying it.
You'll need to buy direct.

There are no current plans to range the OnePlus 8 devices I'm afraid. Though, looking around, I can't see any UK networks have confirmed they're ranging this so it's possible OnePlus themselves have changed their UK distribution model and opted only for their own store and Amazon, which currently has a listing but shows as 'Unavailable'.

Given that O2 will not be offering this phone I am buying one direct.  

This statement on the oneplus store slightly worries me. Will O2 be approving this model?

"Even if a device supports some or all of the required frequencies for this carrier, it will not be able to connect unless the device is approved for this network."

Thanks
