The OnePlus 7T is a bargain right now at $399 - CNET

In the old days, OnePlus made bargain phones. With the arrival of the OnePlus 8 earlier this year, however, the company moved squarely into the premium category. No more bargains, then? Actually, here's one: For a limited time, you can get the OnePlus 7T T-Mobile Edition for $399 -- the lowest price to date and a savings of $200.

This phone isn't even a year old. It's notable for its lightning-fast processor, three rear cameras, 90Hz screen and in-screen fingerprint reader. It comes with Android 10 right out of the box. Alas, there's no wireless charging, which is a deal-breaker for me.

I learned all that and more from reading CNET's OnePlus 7T review, which you'll want to read as well. At the time, $600 seemed like a pretty good deal for a phone with such high-end specs. Now it's $200 less.

Even so, the OnePlus 7T faces stiff competition from the newer likes of the Apple iPhone SE ($399), Google Pixel 4A ($349) and Samsung Galaxy A51 ($399). Plus, it locks you into T-Mobile -- fine if you're already a customer or thinking about switching, but definitely limiting overall.

Your thoughts?
