OnePlus 8 Pro vs Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra! By Mrwhosetheboss

Ok you've seen the title: these are the two highest end: 2020 flag, ships from 1, plus and Samsung I've used both for a fair bit of time now, and today we're going to declare an Android smartphone king also alongside this video I've, launched another one, comparing the normal 1 plus 8, with Apple's iPhone 11, because that phone was basically built to be an iPhone killer. So, after you've seen this, one then do check that one out too in case you're wondering this. Is the package OnePlus sent out to me? It's the media kit, which has a few cool things inside for starters, a beefy reviewers guide, I'm talking a 60 page, read over here and 2 official cases. One is the sun stone bumper, which I mean it feels ok, solid, all run protection with a textured finish on both the outside and inside, but it is just a sheet of plastic. The second, though, is the carbon bumper, which I think is slightly nicer. It's part CPU and pot' Kevlar.

It still feels slim and light, but does have a nice matte finish on the outside texture on the inside. And finally, this is the retail box, the phone. So if you hopped into a store right now well, this is the box. You'd get, and I would go as far as to say that the combination of what it looks like and what you get in here makes this one of my favorite boxes and ever the phone is on top and below that you get this elongated insert, which has a couple of cool things inside some information cards, a sheet of OnePlus stickers and the invitation letter, which has the similar typical attached on to it. This is just basically one plus saying hi there yeah, thanks for buying me, there's more though I'm a big fan of this case, they've added in there.

It's not just some lazy generic CPU sheet. It's got the never settle slogan in Vic text. Furthermore, it's got a matte finish on the rails, texture on the inside and a little designed by 1 plus text, there's a USB cable for charging and a 30 watt warp charger. This is fast. The eagle-eyed among you might have noticed that OnePlus is actually branded since their last phone.

Everything is now in all caps, with a slightly bolder logo. Anyways holding these two phones together, you'll notice, something the OnePlus 8 pro is a big phone, but Samsung is a slightly bigger in every dimension. You'll almost miss it at a glance, but because it's bigger from all angles, it's taller thicker heavier wider, and so, when you add all those together, this feels like a middleweight versus heavyweight situation like no one ever wants to drop their phone on their face when they're scrolling embedded right, but I get the feeling that if you did do that with this phone, you'd be out for a few days and as a result, almost by default OnePlus is the more ergonomic palm friendly offering. But on top of that, its smaller dimensions are combined with a slightly curved back and a matte finish. If you go for the top-end model, this I'm phone off in the UK at least the two color options you get- are glossy black and this green blue color, bordering on being a little plain for still it's done well, and some color is still better than no color like the Samsung, which comes in either black or this exciting gray.

Color, oh yeah, and neither phone has a headphone jack, but OnePlus does have a dedicated slider for switching between ring, vibrate and silent. The only real design negative for OnePlus is the enormous camera bump. It was pretty much my first observation when I took the phone out the box, but, let's not forget Samsung sticks out just as much, but it's wider too. If you're going to use a case. Neither of these is a big deal because they'll even out the back, but if you're going there, the protrusions on either side are enough that you can't really use these phones sitting on a flat surface.

Okay, anyways, the traditional OnePlus smartphone strategy, has always been to cut a few corners to make a firm that is nearly as good as the top level flagship ferns, but much cheaper. That's changing this time round. The OnePlus 8 pro is edging ever closer to costing as much as a flagship I'll come to this, but now with little. If any compromise, for example, past OnePlus phones, they skipped an IP rating. They skipped wireless charging, but now you've got both and in fact one plus wireless charging has gone from being non-existent to now.

Actually a head of Samsung's, it can charge with 30 watts of power versus 15 on the ultra and displays Samsung really is the one to beat when it comes to smartphone screens. But for my preferences at least I would go as far as to say that OnePlus has actually just done that they're, similar screens, both friends, actually use a display made by Samsung. They both have insanely high quad HD, plus resolutions, AMOLED technology for deep contrast, 120 Hertz, refresh rates for liquid smooth performance and built in technologies to reduce the amount of blue light emitted, which is just better for your sleep cycle. A similar size to is six point, seven, eight inches versus six point, 9 inches, but a few differences and the key one for me actually being brightness I, always couldn't believe it. The one plus looks significantly brighter than Samsung's I've tried indoor I've tried out door.

The same result we're talking a screen so bright that sometimes I would find myself not bothering to use the torch, but instead of just turning my phone around and using the display, oh yeah, and one plus can keep running a quad, HD plus resolution, whilst having its 120, Hertz refresh rate on with Samsung it's a case of deciding do I want an ultra sharp display or do I want an ultra smooth display, and on top of that, yes, there is more want less claims. They further extend their lead with something called M EMC technology. It's a piece of software that tries to combat the fact that we've got displays here that refresh 120 times per second, and yet most videos are filmed at 24 or 30. So when you're using certain apps like YouTube on this version, it can actually insert extra frames to make the video appear smoother. But after a bit, I turn the feature off.

It causes extra battery drain and, to be honest, while it does look beautiful on videos that are already filmed at, say, 60 frames per second, what is trying to upscale videos that are filmed at like 24 or 30 the end results. Frame rate is kind of all over the place. It kind of judders. Both phones have an almost identically sized hole punch. Do you want it on the side or do you want it in the middle? It is completely up to you me personally, I'm a corner hole, kind of guy, you lose symmetry, but it means that when you watch videos the hole, punch, kind of disappears generally when you're watching something your eyes are kind of focused in the center of your screen.

So if you have a corner hole punch, it's kind of further into your peripheral vision. The last thing I did notice is the extra curve you get on the 8 pro's display, which, for the most part, is just a subjective thing, but I will say that it's just enough of a curve that, in some rare cases when I was holding the phone with one hand, my other fingers would be triggering the edges, and this doesn't seem to happen on the Samsung. And one thing: I've really got a hand to Samsung is the fact that in the last few years, they've brought their phones up from being some of the more bloated and sluggish offerings to actually some of the snappiest 1 plus used to have a very clear speed and actually even battery advantage, but I think it's starting to fade, and let me be very clear: this is not a case of one-plus getting slower by any stretch of the imagination. V8 Pro is blistering fast. It's just a case that actually Samsung has caught, and we're at a stage where I really can't tell much of a difference between them anymore.

Both phones have those ultra fluid 120 Hertz displays and pretty much the best specs. You can hope for top-end chipsets, a ton of RAM up to 12 gigs on OnePlus and 16 on Samsung and fast. U FS, 3.0 storage, the only caveat with the Samsung is, and we've gone through. This is the fact that there are two different versions of the phone, depending on which region you're in and long story short. If you get the Snapdragon version in your region, you get to go.

This is a really fantastically performing phone, but if you get the Enos version and not so much but the full detail is linked somewhere here, so you can check that up. I guess! The point here is that, no matter what region you're in with the OnePlus you'll get the better Snapdragon chip, even the speakers on the OnePlus a top level. This is another corner. The company has historically cut, but not anymore. You get one on the front on bottom vocals and instrumentals just sounded so crisp, and I would say.

The volume is comparable between the two. So at this stage it's starting to seem a little like a home run for one plus, it seems as if it does pretty much everything the s20 ultra does, but just at least as good or better- and it's far cheaper. So does the s20 ultra even have a place. Well, the one area where I can see OnePlus two saved some money versus Samsung is the camera system, and so, while Samsung has a massive 108, megapixel main sensor, OnePlus has a smaller 48 megapixel one. It's a new sensor, it's an improvement from last gen, but not as good as Samsung's.

Something has a high-resolution telephoto camera that you do 10 times, hybrid zoom. What Plus can do three times hybrid zoom and they both have pretty comparable ultra white cameras, but this is where it gets weird. These are both quad camera systems. Samsung's forth is a time-of-flight camera to detect depth, but OnePlus is fourth, is something called a color filter, camera or in other words, a camera that can view the world in a slightly different way, and I'll give it this. It has been fun walking around and just seeing how different normal day-to-day objects look.

But honestly, I have really tried to give this thing a chance and I just don't get it. It doesn't make any sense to me. The camera is low resolution, and it doesn't let nearly as much light in as your main camera. In a best-case scenario, your outputs going to look like a ancient film and in the worst case it'll. Just look like something's gone wrong.

Maybe someone will really cool views for it, but considering that in my briefing of the phone, the company barely touched on it and considering that the setting for using this camera is hidden away in the filters' menu, it suggests that OnePlus isn't that confident in it either. That said, I spent most of my time with OnePlus camera actually just being taken aback at how much they've improved the rest of it. It may be cheaper hardware than what's on Samsung's, but in almost every situation the output is at least as good Aswan plus phones had some potentially wonky color processing. None of that here photos look true to life and crispy with nice depth of field thanks to a pretty large sensor and video. The video colors and the dynamic range are stunning and lifelike.

It feels like OnePlus has gone right back to the drawing board and built a completely new color processing algorithm that just works. Movie current gripe is that, while, yes, that dynamic range is gorgeous the focusing is not- or at least it isn't yet and funnily enough, it just so happens that this is also an issue for Samsung, but detail camera comparison coming very soon. So, if you could subscribe to that, that would be amazing. A few final things to note both have in display fingerprint scanners and dual SIM functionality, but with the Samsung you can actually use one of those SIM card slots to double as extra expandable storage. I also slightly prefer the haptic engine on the ultra, but you get good general vibration feedback on both and in terms of charging speeds, you won't have a problem.

Whichever way you turn here. The crucial factor here, though, is that it just so happens that Samsung's high-end is 50% more expensive than one plus high-end. You are getting a more impressive spec sheet with the Samsung you're, getting those extreme numbers that you're paying for things like a 100, an 8 megapixel camera versus 48, a five thousand William hour battery versus 4510 on one plus 16, gigs of ram versus 12 and so on. But from my time with it, these extreme specifications don't really translate to an extreme experience in its defense. I think the s20 ultra gets more flack than it deserves.

This is a beastly phone, providing you get the Snapdragon version, but I really think the only people it applies to are people who are really interested in the galaxy s xx, but who are willing to pay more. The ultra looks really impressive next to Samsung's own lineup, where you can see side-by-side each extra thing, you're getting for your money, that extra Ram that bigger back three that further zoom on your camera. It seems worth it, but when you kind of take the Galaxy S 20 ultra out of that context, when you pitch it against aggressively price competition, like this I think the value proposition of the phone crumbles, and so I think it's pretty clear between the two one plus wins. You don't forget to check out the video I made on the OnePlus 8 vs, iPhone, 11 I. Think it's fascinating and without being said, my name is Aaron.

This is Mr. who's, the boss, and I'll catch you in the next one.
