OnePlus 8 5G vs. Samsung Galaxy S20 5G By esthetech

How's, it's going everybody glad to be back with you, so it's often thought of as perhaps unfair to compare companies top to your phone to another manufacturers' device that well isn't their top-of-the-line offering, but the 1+8 and the Samsung Galaxy S 20 shares so much in common from processor to the 12 gigabytes of RAM to the fact that OnePlus has even taken some of its design cues from Samsung. Recently. In fact, the first thing I thought when I held the OnePlus 8 in my head, is how much this thing reminds me of last year's Galaxy, S, 10 Plus save for the singular front-facing camera, which is more reminiscent of the regular s 10. The OnePlus 8 has almost identical curvature to the glass front, the same shape even the same polished metal chassis somewhat, ironically, Samsung dialed back the curved edges, with its s20 line, leaving just a slight slope on the sides for the front, but with increased curvature on the back, which in turn has rendered the metal chassis looking extremely thin on the sides. And while the phone is nice overall, I'm not really a fan of the thinned-out chassis I prefer the sides to be a more uniform size matching the top than the bottom Samsung also took some flack for its color options. This year, with this smaller s20 only coming in pastel, blue or pink, which had some kind of light refraction on it.

That reminded me of a CD as well as this cosmic gray. The 1+8, on the other hand, pairs its more traditional black color option, with this very eye-catching, interstellar glow I, like the color, but it'll, definitely get noticed wherever you go for better or worse, and be aware that the finish is very near liked, which will attract fingerprints that are more or less visible, depending on the angle, despite the s20 line. Also sporting, a glossy finish, franker prints are a lot less visible, as the glass back is not so much a mirror call. Quality on both devices is great. I have the T-Mobile version of both phones, and I'm, happy to report that OnePlus seems to have fixed the awful speakerphone quality of previous models.

Speakerphone calls on the 1+8 or crisp and clear both ways and there's very little difference to tell between these two devices in this respect, so you'll be fine with either one. The speaker's themselves are solid too, with the Galaxy S 20 sound being downright elite for smartphone, though not quite as rich sounding the OnePlus 8 speakers are fine too, and there's a noticeable improvement from last year's one +7 on the software front, one plus's oxygen OS is as fast as ever dark mode. Integration is fantastic, apps open in an instant but notice. I only said fast, not necessarily smooth. Now this isn't something everyone would notice, so I'm kind of nitpicking here, but though OnePlus has improved its animations, there's still a little Jacky, they seem to move at one speed, no acceleration or deceleration.

Unlike what you'd see on flagship devices like the Galaxy S 20, where animation smoothness matches this 120 Hertz display delightfully now the 1+8 90 Hertz display is also smooth. It's just that the animations aren't quite as polished as those on the s20. It's not something that affects performance at all, but the aesthetics of the experience are important to some and speaking of those displays. While both are fantastic, and you won't be disappointed in either one Samsung's AMOLED display running on the s20 is ever so slightly sharper and more vibrant. Now that could partially be down to the better pixel density.

As the 1080p 120hz splay is a bit smaller than 1, plus it's 1080p 90 Hertz display. Now you can even switch the S 20s display all the way up to 3200 by 1440, but then the refresh rate has go down to sixty years, not worth it. In my opinion, stick to 1080p and 120 Hertz all day, especially on this size of a display and while I can tell the difference between the s20 is 120 Hertz and the one plus is 90 Hertz. The difference is more drastic between 60 and 90 Hertz than between 90 and 120 Hertz. Going back to software Samsung offers a bunch of extras to the experience, but probably nothing you absolutely have to have.

The one plus eight offers excellent, customization plus useful extras, like the ability to run to instances of your social media and messaging apps, which, of course the s20 allows as well, and the ability to change, accent, colors and icon packs, without having to use a third-party launcher. That's something I wish Samsung would incorporate to one UI when it comes to cameras. Both of this offer. All the basic features you'd expect on a 20/20 flagship, including both an ultra-wide and telephoto lens on the back and unless you're looking for the absolute best camera quality on a smartphone, the OnePlus X offering will be more than adequate for most people. Camera quality has improved over its predecessors, the 1 plus 7 and 70, but I do think the s20 shots are a bit more detailed and do better with exposure on default settings.

You can decide for yourself with these samples. Now I thought I'd be talking about 5g a bit more in this review, but the fact of the matter is 5g coverage is still not all that impressive, even here in the Washington DC area, where T-Mobile's 5g network was quick to deploy. Most of the time speeds haven't really been any faster than on LTE on either of these phones and latching onto a 5g connection can be a bit finicky to the point where, if I'm leaving an area with no signal like my garage, both phones can have a bit of a problem reconnecting to data services. It doesn't do this when I have the phone set to LTE instead of 5g. However, when you do hit one of those 5g sweet spots, these phones blaze will it affect your data usage and real-world performance, probably only if you're downloading a large file, but either way it's fun actually seeing what the 5g phone, in your hand, is capable of.5G coverage should improve in the coming months. ? as T-Mobile begins to light up with Sprint's mid-band 5g network following the approval of the two telecom Giants merger.

That's because the 1+8 can actually connect to that mid-band 5g for now. Both only support team Mobile's, a low band 5g, but again only the 1+8 will be able to take advantage of Sprint's mid-band 5g, once T-Mobile begins utilizing it, and while that's something to keep in mind, if 5g is that important to you, I really don't think you'll notice, much of a difference in everyday use as we're still at least a year or two away, I'm, really taking advantage of what 5g has to offer battery life on these devices is fine, I wouldn't say either is stellar, but I did seem to get more juice consistently from the 1+8. Now it is sporting, a larger battery at 4300 Williams versus the s 20s 4000, Williams, and I'm, guessing pushing that 90 Hertz display, isn't quite as taxing on the cell as having to power a 120 Hertz display I consistently surpassed four hours of screen on time with the one plus eight, while with the s20, it's been a struggle to reach that for hours. Now it's not an issue for me, as I regularly have access to power, but it's something to keep in mind if your daily routine, outside Covey 19 life, requires you to be away from any power supply for any significant period of time. The s20 does.

Let you charge wirelessly, however, including fast wireless charging. If you wanted to do that on an OnePlus device, you'd have to get the OnePlus 8 pro instead, but if wireless charging isn't something you particularly use anyway, you'll be happy to note that the OnePlus eight warp charge 30 T, can boost your battery from 0 to about 70% in just around 30 minutes. The s20, of course offers a highly customizable Bodies on display a feature I've been happily taking advantage of on smartphones all the way back since the Nokia Lucia 920 in 2012 and well that doesn't hit the battery too hard. The OnePlus 8 doesn't include the feature at all aside from its ambient display, which may be fine for some, but definitely doesn't serve the same purpose as an always-on feature. The fingerprint scanner on each of these is straightforward and reliable, though the optical sensor on the OnePlus 8 5 G, maybe a hair faster than the ultrasonic one on the galaxy s, 20 I like to scan two instances of each thumb just to streamline things further, if you don't mind, be less secure, face unlock pairing it with lifts to wake on the Galaxy S 20 is also a joy.

So, at the end of the day, you really can't go wrong with either phone. Neither has any major flaws. The experience is consistent throughout and both handsets offer a balanced set of features and extras to help you put your own personality on them. Now you can probably find some deals on the s20, but at six hundred ninety-nine dollars for the OnePlus eight and a full 300 dollars more for the s20 at T-Mobile. You're going to have to ask yourself how much more a slightly better display a flatter display, a moderately better camera wireless charging and always on display are worth to you because those things decide.

The two devices are quite comparable. Now it's worth noting that I personally experienced no issues with accidental touches on the OnePlus 8 s more curved display, but maybe that's from here's of experience with Samsung's various curved displays mileage in that regard seems to vary greatly. If you have the funds to buy either, one I personally would pick the s20, but admittedly the better overall value here probably rests with the 1+8 I appreciate you guys, checking out this comparison review. Hope you enjoyed it. Let me know in the comments which of these devices you went for plan to go for or would go for it to be fun.

To hear from your stay safe. Everyone I'll see you next time.
