OnePlus 8T vs OnePlus Nord: Value Champs! By TechieTechTech

It's been a transformative year for OnePlus, while the OnePlus 8t is a glimpse of the company's past in a flagship killer, style phone. The OnePlus word is the first phone of a brand-new budget, lineup and strategy from OnePlus. Of course, the OnePlus 8t is better. If you don't look at the price, but we do look at the price and today, let's find out whether the OnePlus 8t is worth the extra money over the OnePlus note, I'm Rohan from techytechtech, and let's talk about these phones from first glance, it's hard to tell a difference between both these phones purely by their appearance. Both of them have a glossy glass back, a quad camera module to the top left and one plus branding. If much prefer the matte sides on the OnePlus 8t over the OnePlus knots glossy finish, but apart from that, both of these phones are extremely similar.

Looks wise. But when you pick the phones up, the differences slowly start to show themselves. For starters, thanks to the aluminum frame on the OnePlus 8t, it feels more refined and dense in the hand, while the plastic frame on the OnePlus note does not feel cheap at all. It also does not really feel premium. It does make the OnePlus note considerably lighter in comparison.

Another difference that stood out to me is that the buttons on the OnePlus 8t are noticeably more clicker and tactile compared to the word. Even the mute slider moves more smoothly on the 80, while the one on the note feels rough in comparison. All in all, while the OnePlus note is not bad in the design and looks department, the OnePlus 8t clearly feels like it is a segment of the OnePlus note in refinement and construction flipping over to the displays. Now things are actually pretty good here, since both these phones pack excellent displays. The only difference on paper is that the OnePlus 8t has a higher refresh rate at 120 hertz compared to 90 hertz on the node, and it has a slightly larger size display at around 6.6 inches compared to the 6.4. On the OnePlus note, the difference between 90 and 120 hertz is not really noticeable in day to day usage.

The difference between the bigger dual selfie camera cutout on the node and the smaller punch hole cutout on the 80 is frankly more significant for me in real life, even though both these displays are AMOLED. With the same resolution, I have to admit that the OnePlus 8ts display looks better in terms of saturation vibrancy and color reproduction, but since pricing is the factor to consider here, I will say that, even though the OnePlus 8t display is better, that does not change the fact that the OnePlus note carries an excellent display on its own, so much so that I personally would not pay more for the OnePlus 8t over the OnePlus note, just because of the display moving on to the performance things get very interesting here. The OnePlus 8t is basically the most powerful android phone you can buy today with the top-of-the-line snapdragon 865 processors, if you're into gaming or video editing or just like having maximum power under the hood. The OnePlus 8t is the phone to get as the performance gains are significant, since it is more powerful, it will also tend to be smoother in the long run. However, if you're a general user, someone who's, uses cutters, social media texting, some movie watching and other non-power intensive tasks now plus not is pretty good as well.

The snapdragon 765g processor in the OnePlus note is a mid-range one, but that does not mean it is a slouch, especially in 2020, when even entry-level phones pack decent performance, the OnePlus note, might be having the less powerful processor in this comparison, but in a vacuum this phone is sufficiently powerful for day-to-day use and even some casual gaming. Of course, I won't dive too deep into the software experience, since they are both powered by oxygen OS. One thing that I do speculate- and I could be wrong here- is that the OnePlus 8t might get software updates sooner than the OnePlus note, since it is the more premium phone, but since the word is a whole new lineup, only time will truly tell how OnePlus performs when it comes to delivering new software. Let's talk about the cameras now in terms of optics, both smartphones put a quad camera setup on the rear, with the same primary camera and a similar macro and depth camera setup. The 80 has an upgraded 16, megapixel ultra-wide angle, camera compared to the word's 8 megapixel shooter.

On the front, the OnePlus note sports, a dual selfie camera compared to the single 16 megapixel snapper on the 8t, let's find out how these perform in real life. As always we'll talk about the photos first and then move on to the videos now, even though most smartphones have the same primary camera module. The difference in picture quality is quite noticeable. The 8t takes chills with better colors noise processing and high density. On the other hand, pictures from the OnePlus word have OnePlus classic contrasting look now, both use hybrid zoom to create 2x zoom in sills.

The performance is very similar on both devices. The OnePlus 8t has the widest ultrawide lens on any OnePlus smartphone. Both smartphones take above average chills. However, the 8t takes slightly sharper pictures with lower noise. The macro camera performance is a mixed bag.

The OnePlus 8t takes sharper pictures, but the colors tend to be washed out. On the other hand, macro shot on the OnePlus word have accurate colors but lack details. The word certainly has a better front camera setup than the 8t. Thanks to the dual camera setup, the OnePlus knot takes sharper selfies and offers two different focal lengths. Portrait mode works fine on both devices with decent subject separation.

Sometimes the knot tends to go overboard with the smoothing which results in pictures with inaccurate colors. Both smartphones have very good low light performance. All the pictures from the 8t are slightly better compared to the ones shot on the OnePlus word. One major difference lies in the processing speeds. The 80 is significantly and noticeably faster than the OnePlus note when it comes to processing low light images.

Talking about the videos, the OnePlus 8t wins when it comes to resolution and frame rates, because it can shoot videos in 4k up to 60 fps with different focal lengths, while the OnePlus not can only shoot in 4k at 30fps and that too, with several limitations. But thanks to the dual front, camera setup, the OnePlus note can shoot videos in 4k up to 60 fps with its selfie camera setup, while the OnePlus 8t drops at full HD at 30 fps. The video quality is very similar on both devices. The OnePlus 8t is slightly better than the word in terms of stabilization, autofocus, speed and offers significantly better low light performance. To conclude, both smartphones have practically the same camera setup with minor differences.

You do get a lot of small enhancements with the OnePlus 8t, the most noticeable of which is the processing speed. So, while you do get an overall, better camera experience with the OnePlus 8t, I cannot recommend you to pick it over the word just because of the camera. Let's talk about the battery life. Now I've used both these phones extensively as my daily drivers, and I can tell you that battery life is very good on both the OnePlus 8t and the word. You can easily get a day's worth of use and even stretch it to a day and a half without much effort.

We are talking around five to six hours of screen on time on both from a single charge. Charging them, however, is a totally different situation. Both phones have no support for wireless charging, while both of them support crazy, fast wired charging, but the one on the OnePlus 8t is faster by a lot. It is the first phone to feature OnePlus's new verb charge, 65 technology which charges it from 0 to 100 in around 40. To 45 minutes then note supports bob charge, 30t, which is slower in comparison, but is still faster than 99 of phones in the market.

Again in a vacuum, both these phones charge up really quickly, but in this comparison the OnePlus 8t easily takes the win. Another thing worth noting is that the stereo speaker setup on the OnePlus 8t is a big step up in experience compared to the mono speaker at the bottom. On the OnePlus note, it is just very easy to block when you group the phone in landscape mode when watching movies. The earpiece speaker on the OnePlus 8t shoots the audio directly in the direction of your face, which definitely enhances the overall experience. On that note, even the haptics on the OnePlus 8t are significantly better in comparison.

The phone call experience is somewhat of a head scratcher, though, even though the earpiece on the OnePlus 8t is slightly clearer and louder. I found the overall calling experience on the OnePlus knot to be better, as it was consistently better at catching a signal and holding on to it. Cellular coverage is very area specific, so this could be an isolated incident, but in my experience the radios on the OnePlus note appear to be better than the ones on the OnePlus 8t. To conclude, should you buy the OnePlus note or spend more money to go for the OnePlus 8t? It truly depends on the kind of user that you are while the OnePlus 8t provides a significant jump up in performance and some other minor refinements. They would be useless to you if you're not going to use the extra power or not care about the incremental changes, if you're, that kind of user get the OnePlus note and save your money seriously.

It's a very, very good phone. However, if you don't mind spending the extra money over the word or if you're a power user, especially someone who's, a serious gamer. The OnePlus 8t provides a big step up in performance, while also providing small but important enhancements get it, and I can promise you that you will fall in love just like I did.
