OnePlus 8 Pro unboxing, hands-on & first impressions By Phandroid

It's only been 11 months since one-plus introduced the world to its first Pro Series smartphone. The company is already back at it with the introduction of the all-new OnePlus 8 pro now. For the most part, this phone features all the regular specs that you would expect from a flagship smartphone in 2020, but OnePlus is also pushing things just a little further to make sure its flagship device truly stands out if you're, simply looking at the hardware of the phone it'll be hard for you to tell the difference between the new 8 pro and its predecessor from last year. The camera setup, though, is a slightly different due to the inclusion of a fourth camera, and you'll also notice that the pop-up selfie camera on the 7 Pro has been swapped out for one that peeks through this phone's display other than that you still get the sleek metal frame sandwich between curved glass on the front and the back of the device. But this phone also has one feature that you actually can't see with the naked eye. This one here sports, an official ip68 dust and water resistant rating, which is actually a first for an OnePlus smartphone.

The most noticeable difference between this year's phone and last year, of course, comes down to the display this time around you're. Looking at a quad HD six point: seven eight inches OLED panel with a hundred and twenty Hertz refresh rate and a 240 Hertz of touch sampling, which delivers the smoothest screen that I've ever used on a smartphone and while Samsung's Galaxy S 20 lineup boasts 120 Hertz refresh rates as well. This one here can do it at its full resolution, while Samsung's devices need to bump things down to Full HD to charge up the four thousand five hundred and ten William hour battery. You do get the company's proprietary dash charge.30 T, which delivers 30 watt fast charging, but OnePlus has also stepped things up by finally delivering wireless charging to its phone, something that it said for the longest time simply wasn't fast enough for his customers. OnePlus has built its own wireless charger, which can actually deliver a 30 watt charge wirelessly to the phone.

But if you have a regular wireless QI charger that will work with a phone as well and to take things one step further. OnePlus has also include reverse wireless charging, a feature that up until now has only really been used on Samsung and Huawei devices. The cameras on the phone have gotten an upgrade as well with a quad camera setup which uses 248 megapixel sensors for its standard and ultra white cameras, an 8 megapixel camera for its 3 X, hybrid zoom, and a 5 megapixel color filter camera for those keeping track. The 248 megapixel sensors are the same ones that OPPO is using for its premium, find x2 Pro, but it seems the sister company simply wasn't willing to let OnePlus also share the 5x periscope camera. Unlike Samsung's new Galaxy S, 20 lineups, you won't be getting 8k video capture out of these camera sensors.

The OnePlus is optimizing 4k video capture at up to 60 frames per second with enhanced optical and electronic image, stabilization, which work simultaneously. As for its front-facing camera, the 16 megapixel sensor used here is the same one on the regular 1+8 capable of capturing video at 1080p, when most other flagship devices from this year have been capturing 4k video from their selfie cameras to finish off the spec sheet, you're looking at a new snapdragon 865 processors, which of course comes with 5g connectivity, 8 or 12 gigabytes of lpddr4 am and 128 or 256 gigabytes of storage. And, of course, that brings us to the price. The base model of this phone will be selling for eight hundred and ninety-nine dollars, making it the most expensive smartphone in one plus's lineup that we've ever seen and significantly more expensive than last year's. One plus seven pro leave us a comment below and let us know if you think the new price of the OnePlus a pro is definitely worth the upgrades that this phone has.
