Credit: BH Photo Video The OnePlus 8T might be out now, but we think last year’s OnePlus 7T is well worth considering too. And judging by the results of our recent poll, Android Authority readers think it’s still a great buy as well. The 2019 model already received a $100 price cut from $599 to $499 several months ago, but B&H Photo Video has discounted the OnePlus 7T by a further $100. That means you can get the phone for just $399 . That’s almost half the price of the $750 8T, although you’re missing out on a 120Hz refresh rate, 5G, and brand-new flagship silicon. This deal applies to the 128GB unlocked model, although it’s unclear how long the promotion will last. Furthermore, the retailer notes that this particular model (HD1907) won’t work on Verizon.  In any event, the OnePlus 7T was a good deal at $499 and it’s a fantastic deal at this discounted price tag. For $399, you’re getting a powerful Snapdragon 855 Plus chipset, a 90Hz FHD+ OLED screen, and a 3,800...
