OnePlus 8 Pro Complete Walkthrough: OnePlus' Flagship By TheUnlockr

One plus just launched two new phones, the one plus eight for their traditional lineup and continuing the new pro lineup that they started last year. The one plus eight pro now one Plus sent me a one plus eight pro to borrow for a review, and I've been using it long enough that I think I can do a complete walkthrough run it for you guys now, if you're not familiar, complete, walk down those channels where I try to go through every single feature, I, possibly can on new device so that you guys are better prepared. Should you mean the mark to actually go buy? One with that said, there's a lot to go through. So let's get started with the hardware. Firstly, we have an AMOLED six point: seven, eight inches, 31 68 by 1440 resolution. Nineteen point, eight by 9 aspect ratio very curved display by default.

The screen resolution is set to twenty-three seventy-six by ten eighty to conserve power. But you can change that in the settings we have a hundred and twenty Hertz refresh rate, which makes the device feel smoother. You can actually change this from one twenty to sixty if you want in the display settings, but if you select one twenty will actually switch between the two automatically based on what you're doing on the screen at the time. So, hopefully that'll save some battery life. There's a setting in here also to boost less than 120 Hertz content up to 120 Hertz, to make it smoother that you can turn on called M, EMC or motion estimation motion compensation it'll only work in apps that support it, though, and on this device it shows the photo gallery.

YouTube and Netflix is the only one. So far, honestly I probably only want to turn this on if I was watching like sports or some type of action as increasing this on movies, for example, ends up producing, what's known as the soap Xperia effect, where things just seem too real because of the smoothness almost like a home video, but that's up to you. That screen also supports HDR, 10 plus and actually, as HDR boost built-in, to try an upgrade SD zircon so that you watched a higher dynamic range with increasing the contrast and colors. Now it's off by default, but you can turn it on in the display settings now. The screen also has a built-in blue light filter that reduces the blue light coming from the panel underneath by about 40%.

Apparently, its similar technique finding some glasses manufacturers that does this without actually changing the visible color coming from the display. So it's just a nice thing to have, regardless, as it's supposed to reduce strain on your eyes inside that screen, we have a 16 megapixel, F 2.45, aperture, Sony IMF for 71 cents, with one micron size, pixels that aren't bent, and so when you take a photo, 16 megapixels is what you'll get when using the full sensors 4 by 3 aspect ratio. At least the phone itself comes in three colors onyx, black, glacial green and ultramarine blue, which is what I have here. And if you know me, you know it's this or the green for me, bright tech colors all day. Please and thank you.

The device is made out of Gorilla Glass 5 on the front and on the back and the device is ip68 rated, so it can be submerged underwater for up to 30 minutes at a depth of 1.5 meters. Moving around the vise, we have our volume rocker on the left, nothing at the top, our power button and very OnePlus notifications, slider that can be set in three positions: ring vibrate and silent, or on the right. Also, that slider is much more sturdy this time compared to the 1 + 7 pro, thankfully so there'll be less accidental, switching profiles, which occasionally happen to me with that phone. Now on the bottom, we have our dual SIM card tray, one of our two speakers that are Dolby Atmos optimized, the other is in the earpiece and our USB 3.1 gen2 on type C port. That port is also capable of 30 watt fast charging of the 45 10 William battery.

That's inside using the included warp charge, 30 T charger that can supposedly give you 50% in 23 minutes, but as usual, let Sunil be an unscientific test and see how much charge we get. Also, we have something else that OnePlus users have been asking for myself included for forever wireless charging now not too long ago, when pressed about why they weren't, including wireless charging, Pete LAU, the CEO of OnePlus, basically said that they didn't think it was fast enough to include and wanted it to be on par with the wire to charging speeds. Well, now it is, the device is capable of 30 watt wireless charging. It does, however, require a special, fast wireless charger from OnePlus, though, and that costs an additional $70, but it will charge at the standard 5 watts, if you put on any other wireless QI charger and 10 watts, if you put it on a pixel wireless stand as well, which is nice and a slick addition. Regardless of how you charge, it is the fact that you can use Google assistants ambient mode to basically converted into a Google home while it's charging now something interesting about the wireless fast charger by the way is the little slit here that actually blows air using a fan on the back of the device.

This is apparently one Plus's way of keeping the device cool at those higher wattage son the phone. It can actually set it to turn this fan off or even automatically turn it off during certain hours, like bedtime, but you'll get slower charging speeds. Now, personally, the fan isn't loud at all to me, and I ended up keeping it on as sort of like a white noise, while sleeping its kind of nice really quickly, though, let's also test that charger and see how fast that works. We also have reverse wireless charging to charge other QI enabled devices on the back of the phone, which I'm glad to see becoming more of a standard on flagships. Personally and finally, let's see how fast it discharges doing again an unscientific test of streaming, a 1080p YouTube video for 10 minutes, and we'll see what we one plus actually upgraded their vibration motor as well, and it is definitely stronger.

You can tell a lot when you're playing games. The speakers are also really loud, but I also think I'm kind of hearing some distortion when played at full volume, unmitigated, Qualcomm, Snapdragon, eight-six by processor, paired with either eight gigs or twelve gigs of lpddr4 am and either 128 gigs or 256 gigs of UFS 3.0 storage for security. We have an optical in display fingerprint scanner that is pretty responsive, and we have the option to use facial recognition from the front camera as well connectivity. We have Wi-Fi six Bluetooth 5.0 NFC for Google Pay and sub six 5g built-in on all models, there's also a Verizon specific model, though that will have both sub six and millimeter wave built in to that moving around the back. Furthermore, we have what OnePlus calls a quad camera system and, while that's technically right, one of those cameras is a color filter sensor.

Instead of being able to take photos with it, it actually grabs color data while taking photos and can allow you to alter the colors easier in real time, and maybe it somehow helps when you're taking normal photos. But there was no mention of that. That I could find the only manifestation of this that I could actually find on. The phone seems to be these filters that you can cycle through and taking a photo or doing a video, and you'll notice that the camera view jumps slightly where you imagine, the color sensor would be taking the photo from itself when you switch to the photo chrome, the last one, interesting as for the other cameras, you'll actually use. The first is our main 48 megapixels F 1.7 aperture optically stabilized camera, which is the second phone. Now that I can think of to use the new Sony imx6 89 sensors, the first being the OPPO find x2 and I did a video on earlier, and I'll leave a link for that, and it's the same situation here since oboe and OnePlus are related companies now more on that in another video, maybe as such it also by default bends the pixels to get a lower resolution, but much better low-light sensitivity.

It takes collections of four of the one-point 12 micra sized pixels. It has and combines them to get a 12 megapixel 2.2 4 micron sized image. That sensor is also one by one point: four three inches in size, and so this, combined with those larger pixels in bin mode, means much better low-light images, but it also means that you get a lot more bouquet. The blurred separation between a subject and the background without using the software, enabled portrait mode for those keeping score by the way that sensor and pixel size is very similar. The new s20 ultra just slightly smaller, but considering the original pixels being bent, are larger than the 108 megapixel 0.8 micron one's being bend in sets of nine instead of four on the ultra I'm very curious to see how holds up against the ultra, and I'll be posting photo comparisons of these and other phones, as I usually do on my Twitter Facebook Instagram, etc. So you can just follow me at the unlocked, with the e missing in the word on locker, for that the main camera also sports, dual native ISO, meaning that it is optimized to shoot at a specific high ISO and a low ISO.

This allows the camera to choose the lower native ISO when things are brighter, but then switch to the higher native one when things get dark to reduce noise in the image. Another thing that's interesting about this sensor is that it supports all pixel PDF instead of the more traditional dual pixel autofocus. The general idea here is that the sensor can use a hundred percent of the pixels to detect focus as well as has some changes to the sensors micro lens layout and without going too far down that rabbit hole here. That means it can detect edges better and focus faster, as well as focus better in low light. Now, in addition of the main sensor, we have a 48 megapixel ultra-wide camera, that is a 120 degree field of view and an F 2.2 aperture. The interesting thing here about this camera is the fact that OnePlus again, like Opp, put a Sony IMF 586 in here, which is basically the flagship sensor, most phones launched with last year as their main sensor, including the OnePlus 7 pro by the way, it's a half age sensor with point eight micra sized pixels.

So it's nice to see the put in an already proven sensor as they're ultra-wide. Hopefully that should mean that switching to the ultra-wide won't translate to a much worse quality image, as we have seen in the past with other devices. And finally, we have an 8 megapixel telephoto camera, with an F 2.4 for aperture, with one micron sized pixels. Apparently it's a three times optical zoom, and it can do a digital zoom of up to 30 times which, as usual on these phones, basically looks like an oil painting for video. There can record in up to 4k at 60 frames a second but also has cine modes as OnePlus calls them for 4k, 30 and 4k 60, and this essentially just changes.

The aspect ratio of the video from sixteen by nine to a more cinematic, looking 21 by nine you can also select to shoot in HD, are to boost the colors & contrast, but it's limited into 4k, 30 or 1080p 30, also, while both optically and electronically stabilized already, you can tap the super stable button to further stabilize the video but again limited to 1080p, 30 and 4k.30 I have to say, though, that it's nice to see that both of these modes at least allow you to shoot 4k we're on some phones. It brings you down to 1080p, and you can't go any higher than that at all. For those wondering the front, camera can shoot in 1080p up to 30 frames per second, and this is what that looks like and with the built-in microphones sound like. Okay, let's dive into the various other camera modes, that OnePlus has included port remote, which uses software to blur the background behind a subject to create a faster aperture look from a mirrorless or DSLR camera slo-mo, which records in either 720p at 480 frames a second or 1080p at 240 frames. A second and plays the video back in slow motion Pro, which allows you to control the camera settings manually, like ISO, shutter, speed, etc.

also worthy to note that it allows you in this phone to actually shoot in RAW as well panoramic mode, which is your standard mode that we're used to seeing now on most phones, but it lets you start taking an image and then pan the camera to have it stitch. Multiple images together to capture a wider, more panoramic shot. Time-Lapse allows you to record a video, and it'll automatically play it back. Sped up. Something else, I appreciate they put in here is a macro mode which you can just tap the icon at the top, and then you're able to take photos much closer up to the subject.

Some manufacturers put in an actual macro camera for this, but this is just a button you tap, and it works on all the cameras. So that's nice and finally, nights cape which uses AI and multiple shots of various exposure levels, including long exposure shots to create a much better low-light image. You can check out my decoder episode on night mode and how it actually works at the link here. Moving out of software, the one plus a pro is running android 10, with one plus as oxygen OS 10 on top because of this it'll have very similar functions to anyone, Plus Android device, but for anyone not familiar with it, let's just touch on a few of the more standout features that OnePlus has added. Firstly, you can tell they optimized the crap out of it.

OnePlus has sort of always been known for having this very stock, like Android experience, but even sitting in next to a device with what we now consider stock, I, suppose the pixel for Excel. It seems to run just as smooth, if not sometimes smoother, and even with 120 Hertz turned off by the way. Both of those things has always made it. One of my favorite manufacturer, you are something else I just want to give them credit for. Can I also just say that I love when you swipe to the left of the home screen here, you get Google News like actual Google News? Instead of a copy of this that most OEM is try to put here, we have horizon light, which is similar to what other manufacturers do with their curved displays and OnePlus has added it as well.

It's basically a notification light that will show when you get any incoming notifications, but it's a nice touch for when the phone is laying on a table, and it lights up. The edges OnePlus has also added a game space mode that organizes all of your games in one place and lets you control things like blocking notifications, optimizing, the performance of the chips at our network, etc. While using a game we have quick launch, which is a feature that I think is kind of interesting. It allows you to set up shortcuts to do specific actions in an app or just launched an app itself. When you continue to keep your finger pressed down on the fingerprint sensor when you're, unlocking the phone I can imagine, this could be kind of a knee parallel.

Apps gives you the ability to clone any messaging apps that you have more than one account on the device for that app. So -. What's apps ? telegrams, messenger accounts etc. ? Finally, a blocker. This lets you encrypt specific apps and not allow you to open them without your lock screen pin or fingerprint by the way.

If you want to learn more about what encryption actually is and how it works. I also have a decoder episode on that I'll link that here as well, the OnePlus 8 pro is available on April 29th, and I've left a link below for the cheapest price that I could find on it. For anyone interested now, plenty of people have pointed out that OnePlus seems to slowly be increasing their prices with every launch, and it seems that that trend has not changed. The OnePlus 7 pro was 669 when it launched, while the OnePlus 8 pro is now $8.99 for the 8 gig 128 gig configuration and $9.99 for the 12 256 model. The ultramarine blue by the way only comes in the 12 256 their guys.

Let me know what you guys think about OnePlus slowly, raising their prices every year, we're not so slowly, depending on how you look at it curious to hear your thoughts on that.
