    Good phone. Only 'but' is no VOLTE in Australia, there is an online workaround but you need to run it every update. But great phone.

      Gday mate,
      I wasnt sure about this so i google a bit and this is what i found

      All three of Australia's carrier networks support VoLTE. Telstra was the first carrier to launch VoLTE for consumers on its network, with Vodafone and then Optus enabling the service on their networks in late 2015 and mid-2016 respectively. - finder

      Also this phone has
      HD Voice Capable
      Yes
      VoLTE Capable
      Yes

      • willyroo on 16/08/2021 - 15:34

        No VoLTE/VoWiFi on Telstra/Boost out of the box.

        There is a workaround - varying reports of success -> https://whrl.pl/Rf910x, and https://whrl.pl/Rgfai7

      • aidenh37 on 24/08/2021 - 12:39

        No, it's a two-way street - the phone needs to support it, yes, but then the telco setting has to be loaded onto the device and communicating with the telco to approve VoLTE. Basically, it's usually only working for devices with Australian software. As others have said there is a workaround to manually load those details but with limited success and it has to be done every update.

        Telstra in particular is a pain point, Vodafone and Optus are not as strict and may work out of the box running OxygenOS.

    • adinico on 16/08/2021 - 15:00

      Yes there is & has been for awhile, I have it on Optus for a couple of yrs now.

    • Yomamassugardaddy on 16/08/2021 - 15:24

      I don't think you need to run it after every update (previous op7t pro user).

      • Cheap Cheep on 16/08/2021 - 18:54

        It's a bit of a lottery. Sometimes an update wipes the workaround, sometimes it doesn't. (Current OP7T Pro user)

        • Yorkshire-Man on 16/08/2021 - 19:55

          I'm on Boost. I've had to re-run it every update, doesn't take long but its not something your average user would want to do

    • eraser215 on 17/08/2021 - 08:37

      I haven't needed to reapply the fix on my OnePlus 6 after any of the recent security updates

    • bobz79 on 18/08/2021 - 10:57

      VoLTE is supported by the phone, but no carriers in Australia support VoLTE on OnePlus by default, since this is not officially sold in AU?!

      Similarly VoWiFi is very helpful if you have coverage issues inside buildings - eg, home or office and is on WiFi.

      Also note that Telstra is pulling plug off 3G network in 2024, so you will then need a phone with VoLTE

          agreed I was a very happy 7T user for a couple years and didn't have one problem with the phone and while I was worried bout VOLTE before buying the thing absolutely flew….. good device… only changed as I went for a smaller phone (iPhone 12 mini, but now looking at ZFlip3 as I luv the small phone but hating iOS other than camera quality)

          • Hangryuman on 17/08/2021 - 11:07

            I take lotsa pix with my iPhone 6s+ and am pretty happy with that camera quality

            can you compare the camera quality on this bargain vs the iPhone 12 ?

            I wouldn't want to go backwards given the camera quality is important to me.

          Even more important as this phone has warp charge and battery can be EOL must faster than usual.

          • Jai on 16/08/2021 - 19:38

            @umadbrahhhh: That's actually not true. All phones by reputable manufacturers (like OnePlus) manage fast charging such that only the first 0-70% (give or take) receive the full wattage after which it's throttled down as lithium-ion batteries begin to naturally resist charge past that point. Because of this, fast charge and non-fast charge phone batteries degrade at essentially the same rate.

  • puzzles2 on 16/08/2021 - 16:03

    Had a OP7T, personally it has not aged well at all. Camera is shocking, updates are slow, Android 11 introduced bugs (90hz would stop working and you'd have to go into settings to reset it). I'm waiting for the new pixels and I'll probably jump back on that.

    Honestly nowadays, I wouldn't get anything other than a Samsung/Google or Apple phone. Sick of manufacturers updating their phones for 1-2 years before it becomes waste and they no longer care to update it or fix bugs. While Samsung/Google/Apple might have some of these issues, from my past experience its not as bad as other manufacturers.

        I agree with @puzzles2 RE: the camera and slow updates, I've never had an issue with it switching from 90hz, though they did take away forced 90hz from developer options in one of the updates which sucks.. I definitely wouldn't buy another OnePlus in the future, I've had 4, used to be a good company with great software and updates and relatively independent of Oppo, now they're one in the same in my eyes.

        Had the 7T since release and the latest OOS 11 is pretty decent. Wouldn't have recommended people to update to 11 from 10 before this update.

      The Pixel 2 XL had so many issues from the onset right through its 3 year life with me that it's largely put me off the Pixel range. Samsung annoys me that it constantly tries to reinvent the wheel and force you to use their duplicate feature that just isn't as good. With their flagships going the way of Apple it's never a good sign either.

      Sick of manufacturers updating their phones for 1-2 years before it becomes waste

      You do realise the OnePlus 6T is still getting updates right?

      Have only had a OnePlus 9 for 4.5 months but there's been no issues so far. Only thing I don't like is that they're merging Oxygen with ColourOS so my next phone might be an Oppo.

      • puzzles2 on 16/08/2021 - 20:29

        You do realise the OnePlus 6T is still getting updates right?

        Yes I do, however the update has come nearly 1 year after its release. OnePlus says 3 major OS updates and 4 years of security updates for flagships, same as Samsung. Hopefully rumors are true and Pixel 6 gets 5 years of OS updates.

        As someone who has owned a OnePlus flagship since its release, from my experience your first few months are good. Once the OnePlus 10 comes out see if your 9 gets updates as frequently. Chances are you'll constantly be 2-3 months behind on security patches.

        • pennypincher98 on 16/08/2021 - 20:40

          Hopefully rumors are true and Pixel 6 gets 5 years of OS updates.

          Honestly this is not a selling point to me because seeing my Pixel degrade so much over 3 years I can't stand the thought of keeping it around for 5. The only positive is it might increase the resell price if I sold it without mentioning the issues it had accumulated.

          I'm fine with 3 years OS and 4 years security updates because that's as long as I need to keep my phone. If my OP9 is not showing signs of age by 4 years I'll be incredibly impressed.

Yes, I am sure there are ways to circumvent this by changing the firmware, but I would think that this should have been advised on the product page, or mentioned at the point of sale.
