OnePlus 8 Pro review: No compromises! By 9to5Google

Warpless fans now have the first proper no-compromise OnePlus phone in the form of the pro we spent around three weeks with the device which might be an S 20 competitor. But let's find out why, thanks for watching 95 Google on YouTube, remember to thumbs up hit subscribe and enable notifications with the back icon to be among the first to watch our upcoming videos. So, as we mentioned, this, is he first all-out one plus fun to date, which does bring with it notable price increases across the board, starting at 899. The OnePlus 8 pro is not a cheap smartphone and part of that is owed to the community requested additions. So, let's really lovely new inclusions to begin with, and the price jump starts to make much more sense. The OnePlus 8 pro is the very first one plus device to come with an official, IP water and dust resistance rating, even though older devices were shown to withstand a dunk in water.

There is also a wireless charging for the first time to and are 120 Hertz a HD+ AMOLED display, and then on top of that 5g support, courtesy of the Qualcomm Snapdragon, a 65 chip right off the bat. That is quite a lot of new inclusions, adding some other bits and pieces, and the price jump really starts to make much more sense. Talking design, though the OnePlus 8 pro is far taller and svelte than the squat 1 +, 7 and 17 pro from last year. It's all refined, but has a great balance in the hand. The Saturn glacial green, finish, really catches the eye ? and is yet another fantastic color option from OnePlus.

Although that said, you can pick it up in ultramarine, blue and onyx black. Should you not be a fan of the green? The color might be fantastic, but the in doubted star of the show is that amazing, 120 Hertz HD+ display in motion. It's arguably the best display we've tested, save the find x2 pro, which the OnePlus an actually shares. Some similarities with I'm still not entirely convinced that most people will notice the bump from 90 to 120 Hertz, although I personally can actually notice that, if you're coming from a 60 to 120 Hertz display, though the change is stark- and it really does enhance any and all interactions with the OnePlus a Pro, it's six point. Seven eight inches of pure brilliance edge to edge.

It makes watching videos, apps and everything else in between so much more fun and responsive I personally have zero problems with the punch hole. Although you will notice a shift in the status bar to accommodate the little display, cutout I, personally glad that the pop-up cam has disappeared as I felt that it ruined the top bezel and the quality of the images from that camera was pretty poor. Even though we're now losing a tiny portion of the display as a result when in bright lightning, the peak 1,300 nit brightness is evident on display when compared to dimmer displays out there. It makes outdoor viewing crystal clear and no issue I've, not also seen any of the green tint issues that have plagued some devices, although this appears to have been essentially resolved with the oxygen 10.55 update the curves that either side of the display might put people off, and I must admit. I do still prefer flat displays, but overall is exceptional in hand.

The curves do introduce some off-axis color shifts, but none that will be detrimental to the overall experience using it day to day performance thanks to the combo of the snapdragon, a 65 chipset, a minimum of 8 gigabytes of ram that 120 hertz panel and oxygen OS is blazing it's as simple as that. In reality, I have yet to see anything remotely resembling a slowdown. The OnePlus 8 pro is an out-and-out powerhouse capable of anything and everything you can throw at it. I do have some slight nitpicks with the software, though, even with oxygen, OS, being a competent on, skin I still think we need a dark mode. Toggle and although not having that is frustrating I will admit it's not a deal-breaker.

We were also done a camera shape curve and the OnePlus 8 Pro has July delivered. This is undoubtedly the best camera on a 1 plus device today and that dual 48 megapixel sensor setup, combined with a 3x telephoto zoom lens, and that weird color filter lens is fantastic from the outset. This gives you options not too dissimilar to the 1 plus 7 pro, but the improved optics are light years ahead of its predecessor, which felt a little disappointing compared to its rivals when using a default, 48 megapixel sensor mode, the images are down scaled to 12 megapixels, and they have superb dynamic range. Great colors and art act sharp. That said, though, I have noticed a little issue when zooming in as the intricate details are not always preserved, quite as well as some other camera setups, but haven't found that too much of an issue.

In the grand scheme of things you can bump up to 48 megapixels without pixel, been in tech quickly from within the camera. App, though, for most scenarios, I would have suggested avoid doing that, though, as you do introduce plenty of grain and artifacts to your images, although in good lighting, it's fun to experiment with this new mode, images can feel a little more washed out, though, compared to the 12 megapixel results with the telephoto zoom lens, it's an effective 3x zoom, but you can't digitally zoom in as far as 30 X. Now that Maxim level images are grainy and not particularly great. You can, however, get some solid results up to 10x. Should you want to get closer to your subject without having to move, and the color filter lens feels much more like a.

We put this in to add more lenses kind of addition, it's a cool effect, but I'm not entirely sure why it's there I've used it a couple of times for any effect, but if I'm, honest I'll, never like to use it again, and I'm, pretty sure you'll be the same. In my opinion, the biggest outright improvement is in the nights cape mode, which is now a real competitor to the nitrite on the pixel for a single shutters snap. In low light is also helped by the larger camera sensor, but the overall 1+8 pro camera is most definitely the best on a 1+1 today, and it's one area where this phone does not fall down like it may have done previously for video nerds, it's similarly impressive, with 4k UHD 60fps available on all main lenses. Now you can even record in the Dinah profile at 21 by 9 aspect ratios is fantastic across-the-board for the mobile videographer, with the 4510 in the umpire battery I was concerned about the longevity when the display was maxed out of that HD+ resolution and with the refresh rate, pushing 120 Hertz constantly. My concerns were pretty unfounded, though, as even at max settings the Campus 8 pro can manage admirably while screen on time is still a Jacky.

Metric I saw upwards of 4 and 5 hours of screen on time when the maximum screen resolution was set and the refresh rate was 120 years did that to full HD Plus and that only improves a situation. Further 8 hours of screen on time was an absolute breeze, although that said, I don't often push my devices too hard regularly throughout the day. In my experiences, I can easily finish a day with 20 to 30% in the tank and with the warp charged 30 via wire or 30-watt. Wireless charging I can often power back up first thing in the morning rather than charging overnight. It's great, though, that we finally have a 1 plus smartphone with wireless charging.

OnePlus has thrown a spanner in the works slightly by only allowing these superfast 30 watt charge speeds with a proprietary charger. I have to admit, though it is impressive, to see in the flesh having a wireless charger that can top up faster than most cables is pretty awesome in practice. That said, you can top about 5 watts speeds with a standard wireless charger. Just a few tidbits before we wrap things up, the haptics are still about the best on Android, when cranked up face unlock is absolutely rapid, as is the in display fingerprint scanner. The stereo speakers offer a full sound that makes watching videos a bit more enjoyable, but overall, this is a complete package.

That said, you will have to ask yourself if the entire package is worth a significant price bump for what is on offer here, you are getting a true top-tier flagship that directly competes with the best in the business, with absolutely no compromises with all the trimmings. That does mean a price tag to match, but this is Agra Blue, the best smartphone on the market right now. So with that said, what are your thoughts? Has the OnePlus really abandoned its principles in favor of the high-end? Let us know what you think down in the comment section below, but until next time this is Damian with 95 Google, saying thanks for watching, and I will speak to you later.
