  Not just design. I was so excited to get a 5g oneplus 8,I'd heard great things about the 7 and 7t. Well I went through three of them with T-mobile and all 3 had serious issues which varied, but all 3 had a very serious battery issue. All 3 phones were new out of box, and all 3 needed to be charged multiple times per day, probably about 4 with light use. All 3 got hot, and I believe the culprit on all 3 was the front screen fingerprint reader. Upon checking advanced battery usage tab, screen took up 98% of the battery, something I've never even heard of. Constant random reboots, loss of signal and having to reboot to re-obtain, so hot it was uncomfortable to hold or have in pocket. I thought about getting a 7t McLaren or whatever, but decided against it due to lack if 5g at the time. I really hope they ironed out the issues because I'm definitely over Samsung and can't wait to get rid of my current S20+. And the 8 was really a joy to use, wasn't even the pro version and seemed far faster than my s20. Shoot, it took me three failures to finally be forced to try another phone. Edit: fix words.

    I have a OnePlus 8t since last october and have not found any issue on the battery side. On the contrary I'm quite pleased with battery management since i can charge it in 30 minutes from 0 to almost 100%, so usually i just charge it for 5-10 minutes and I can use it all day easily. With full charge on average I get around a day or two without recharging with mostly firefox, youtube, messaging apps open and some light gaming. Battery saving mode gets me almost 1 hour more of usage when I'm at 15% Haven't really had any signal problems and 5g isn't that much of an improvement around where I live so it's not really a concern for me but ymmv
