Update for the new OnePlus 8 Pro smartphone

OnePlus has earned its reputation by introducing performance-and-quality phones that feel like they are meant for products such as Samsung or Apple, but offer cheaper prices.

However, with this latest model, the OnePlus 8 Pro, the brand did not want to churn out a middle class that could compete with other fans, but instead introduced its elegance.

The OnePlus 8 Pro can be compatible with any Samsung Galaxy S20 lineup in its basic offering, and for the first time offers premium details that the brand has left in the past, such as the IP68 standard for waterproof and wireless charging. The bad thing is that you unfortunately have to pay for all that too.

Design

More than any other phone item, make-up is a matter of taste. So it's my opinion when I say that OnePlus makes the best looking phones in the world.

The attention to detail is inaccessible, as the phone goes into a comfortable cozy finish, and when it finishes the glass is finished feeling … well, somehow.

It sticks, and it's almost soft when touched, but it's silly crystalline. The phone experience is something that OnePlus was almost honored with last year's 7th Pro, and the Apple Pro somehow got a chance to upgrade it.

Th at said, to be frank, little has changed here. This model is slightly longer and lighter than the 7 Pro and 7T Pro, and a few grams is lighter, but for the most part it looks very much or slightly alike.

The camera module has a bit more clutter from the back – and the extra lens on the side leaves the design more busy than before, but without the new logo on all the covers that are more or less expanded.

The biggest change is in front of the fence, when a small camera in the corner replaces the argument pop up of Pro calls last year. I will miss the full screen allowed by the pop-up cameras.

One of the key points is something fans of this product have been asking for a long time: the official and unofficial rating of IP68 for IP68, so you can use the rating smartphone with more peace of mind.

Then come the color. The 8 Pro comes with bright Onyx Black, Frosty Glacial Green (pictured), and clear Ultramarine Blue. The colors correspond to the details you choose: so if you want black you'll have to live with less RAM and storage, and if you want green you'll have to pay more to regain more RAM.

The only problem? It's a great phone. Not as big as last year, but we don't have the usual small option because the OnePlus 8 is the same size.

What will not give that design in the size of the Samsung Galaxy S20 !, seems that at the moment fans of small phones are not lucky.

Show

If the 8 Pro will come from any place, it will be in this area. The brand puts a lot of emphasis on the idea that this is the best screen you can have on a phone right now – which sounds familiar, because it's similar to what Samsung and Oppo say in their latest models.

Like the S20 and Find X2 Pro, OnePlus 8 Pro supports this claim with a 120Hz refresh rate display. The level of instant refreshment allows for smooth, smooth scrolling, animation and really playable.

A 60Hz jump from the standard phone to 90Hz was seen in the last year of the 7 Pro and the new OnePlus 8 is changing, but the jump from there to 120 is very difficult to inform.

It's an improvement, for sure. But it's not a huge improvement, and most users just won't notice the difference right now – if you're already on the 90Hz phone I wouldn't highly recommend upgrading.

Fortunately, OnePlus has not only focused on the refresh rate. Both color accuracy and brightness have been improved on the 8 Pro, which means that no matter what you do, the show is simply a sight.

I don't really know if this is the best screen on the phone right now. But that is because right now we are dividing the hair to separate the best hairstyles, so if not the best, it's close to counting.

Cameras

The OnePlus 8 Pro's rear camera setup is a four-lens fantasy.

The first is great. The 48 MP main camera uses the same Sony IMX689 sensor that was recently seen on the Oppo Find X2 Pro. This is the largest 48 MP sensor out there, captures a lot of light and therefore additional detail, especially for low-light images.

The images are sharp and detailed, and the large sensor allows for the effect bokeh natural to proximity and a wide range of stimuli. Colors are extremely rare, but OnePlus is far from the worst offender in this regard, and the result is a very shocking picture.

The second objective is also good. And the 48MP, wide angle uses the same IMX586 7 Pro sensor that it used as the first shooter, which should give us an idea of what to expect.

It is programmed in the same way as a larger sensor, so a similar color profile can be obtained between two lens shots, and although there is a considerable decrease in detail and range, this camera's gun still has a lot to offer.

The only area that has the biggest difficulty is small light, with far smaller effects than a large camera. It also supports night mode but remains somewhat behind the main lens depending on the quality.

Overall, the night mode is strong, but it can't do much in completely dark conditions, suggesting that OnePlus's algorithm is not the best.

The third number is correct. This 3x hybrid telephoto lens is, as far as I can tell, the same one found on the last two Pro phones. It's something a solid shooter offers zoom it's more than enough for many, but can't get close to Samsung, Oppo, and Huawei's best phone buyers now this year. With 3x zoom the photos look great, with 30x zoom no.

The fourth goal … well, that is. This color filter lens is used to take pictures with Instagram-changing color effects. Why make a perfect lens to do this there software have you done it right? Why offer cost, power and internal lens space that no one will use? Why bury it so deep in camera view that most people won't find it? If OnePlus has a plan that hasn't been revealed yet, I don't know what it is – the lens is just amazing.

The 16 MP lens is a small berry from pop up from last year according to specs, and sadly it shows. Owls selfie They’re kind of mushy, ready for Instagram, but certainly not among the best places out there. It supports image mode, at best, with great blurred edges and believable blur.

Finally, 8 Pro records video up to (email protected), though its stability features are only supported until (email protected). No 8K video is supported here, though Snapdragon 865 can't handle it – but given the black quality of 8K support for Samsung's S20 series and limited availability of 8K display, OnePlus could have made the right choice with 8K storage currently.

Genres

It all becomes clear when we look at specific details. With the Snapdragon 865 processor and your choice of 8GB or 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM, as well as 128GB or 256GB of storage, this is a very powerful device, whatever your choice.

You can see it in benchmark performance, tested against the 12/256 GB model, where the phone blends in well with all the other logos throughout the year. It should be noted that the OnePlus 8 high scores on GFXBench have been favored for having a low resolution screen.

Say no and there is little to no real-world use, other than iota of lag or slowness in a test week. That means it will be compatible with whatever you throw at him, and it will also be a great gaming device if you want to use that high level of efficiency on PUBG Mobile.

On top of the internal core, the 8 Pro features 5G support as standard, as well as Wi-Fi 6 and all standard features such as Bluetooth 5.1 and NFC, making communication more top-notch. It's dual SIM too.

As for biometric, there is a more secure face protection and on-screenprint sensor, which is faster and more reliable than last year's 7 and 7T series.

Battery

OnePlus has finally made the leap to wireless calling. And in typical OnePlus fashion, it has delivered on its promise of waiting until, and it still has wireless charging fast enough to compete with wireless speeds.

8 Pro has 30W wireless charging but also supports 30W wireless charging. To be clear, even if both modes reach 30W, wireless technology is more efficient and therefore slightly faster – OnePlus says it may be able to recharge up to 50% in 23 minutes, while wireless work is done same for half an hour.

In my experiments, a half hour wireless charging led to a call at 63% vacuum, one of the best schools we have seen in 2020. OnePlus hasn't sent me a wireless charger yet, so I couldn't test that speed. . Fortunately, it will charge on any other Qi wireless charger, but it will end up at a faster 10W speed if the official charging platform doesn't work.

As for the actual battery performance, it is durable but impressive. I found that the phone reaches about 30% at the end of the day, which means it should arrive at bedtime, but you'll probably charge it once a day, or night.

It has clever tactics software which prevents the phone from charging to the surface while thinking it's asleep, instead of restarting it almost all the time and completing the work just before waking up, which should protect the battery life in the long run.

Software

For me, OnePlus continues to be the second most important after Google itself, not by size, when it comes software for Android. O oxygenOS remains a clean and well-designed version of Android that doesn't change much stock, and he is clever about the changes he makes.

The 8 Pro comes with Android 10 and O oxygenOS 10.5, which hasn't changed much. Black mode gets a few tweaks (but it's not as editable as it is now, though it's easy to change or close without having to go through the setup menus) and eventually comes some powerful wallpapers, but other than that it's a little new here. Expect a big change later this year, but now this is very much the same – which is not a bad thing.

Price and availability

The OnePlus 8 Pro is the highest-end device in the world. Sadly, that also means pricing again, making this the most expensive phone the company has released so far.

Its base price is 909 euros, it's black and has 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal storage. If you choose blue or green colors you will get 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of ROM, so you will have to pay € 1,009.

You can reserve your phone if you wish OnePlus's official website. The phone goes on sale starting April 21, though it is still in the US. It will be available shortly on April 29.

The decision

OnePlus's first attempt at a fully installed flagship presses all the right buttons, and there's nothing missing here. The lack of a good phone camera may disappoint some, though I suspect a few, and the 30W cord charging is no longer as impressive as it always has been, but there is very little here to improve on.

The language of the company being built is unparalleled, and while I wish the phone was smaller, I knew this would be the right size for most other users.

Wireless charging and waterproofing ensure that nothing is missing in the long run hardware, and even though the settings for software they are rare and unhealthy, which means that OnePlus is giving competitors a chance to catch up.

OnePlus 8 Pro may not be perfect, but here's something for everyone, and little is missing. You'll have to look elsewhere for fancy phones, but if not right now it's the best phone you can buy at this price – and you're still better than a few of the more expensive ones.
