Hi all

It's time to replace my 5t and would like another OnePlus either a 8t or 9 my problem is all of the NZ retailers don't seem to have the global models so no band 28 and on the 9 no wireless charging.
I can live without the wireless charging just not sure about the band 28?
So where is everyone purchasing their OnePlus phones from and am I over thinking the no band 28?

Cheers
Karl

I got my wife's Nord from Noel Leeming's - but their stocking of One Plus products has been sketchy at best. I also didn't do due diligence at the time and ended up finding out after the event that the version they brought was one that didn't have band 28 support, not that this was advertised (frustrating in a city where it's critical for 4G coverage).

Looks like NL's do still sell OP products, but don't make the same mistake I did! https://www.noelleeming.co.nz/search.html?q=oneplus#sortOrder=rel&page=1&layout=grid

(I bought the Nord on the strength of the 6 I had owned, which I really did like. I've not been so impressed with the Nord, and while I know it's probably unfair to judge their higher-spec'd phones on this experience, I am unlikely to purchase another One Plus, especially given this is on top of the loss of earlier advantages like faster updates/longer support.)
