That said, you still have tons of features to enjoy in Nigeria. The 120Hz refresh rate is number one. Gaming here is also a thing of joy. The design and the camera lights too.

Final Thoughts
If I describe the OnePlus 8T as a very good smartphone in Nigeria, you are surely going to reply me with a simple statement. “Oh! This is exactly what most people would say.” What is the downside here? Wireless charge is the number one though, I wish it had one.
But we sure have to think it straight if we want to compare it with other smartphones in her class in Nigeria. The OnePlus 8T didn’t have it all as we were expected. I am not surprised to see this though, if the 8T have it all, what’s gonna happen to the already existing 8 Pro?
