The OnePlus 7 Pro was just a foretaste of what is to come. Its price, 709 euros on the most basic model, has given us more than enough clues to think it has started a new era in OnePlus. One, to the regret of many, is no longer the place for “cheap” smartphones, if the company had decided to jump into the “ultra-premium” segment, with the corresponding price increases not appealing to everyone.
But OnePlus can be said to be wrong: the 7 Pro has been one of the best phones of all 2020, and perhaps the best that can be found under a barrier of 800 euros. This year, the brand is pursuing a similar vision acquire virtue, or that means sacrificing, now, altogether, the philosophy of competitive pricing that gradually deviates from publishing prices to provide accommodation to other entities.
Now, the task of demonstrating that OnePlus can also resist those firms that for years share the cake in the premium segment of the high-end phone falls into the hands OnePlus 8 Pro, a new phone more complete and advanced than before, with, an advanced technology sheet added to software such as OnePlus only knows how to render, a system that works in parallel, but also more capable. and that it takes away the commitment – a few that you had to live with in the past generation.
The question is, Can OnePlus cost over 900 euros?

Best for OnePlus 8 Pro
Your screen
The OnePlus 7 Pro screen already existed – and it is still in high quality, which is why you are commended for the work that OnePlus did in building it. the best panel as the one that includes the 7 Pro.
From the 6 55 inches of the 7 Pro we go 6.78 inch on this 8 Pro, but, surprisingly, we're ahead a more comfortable cell phone nearby as the screen is in length and under is wide than in the last generation.
The solution is still Quad HD +, optimized for size and format Skip 500 pixels per inch and results in their best fitted panel on the market. Because, after all, it is: it's one of the best in the market.
Last year, OnePlus was the company in charge of launching a high-tech startup with a 90 Hz for the Pro 7. This year Samsung was ahead of it, but the Shenzhen company hasn't missed its hiring yet 120 Hz, this is one of the special "Pro" features of the OnePlus 8 series.
The Additional 30 Hz which involves an increase from 90 to 120 Hz they are less visible as was the 60- to 90-degree jump. That doesn't mean that the feeling of fullness flows too much, and that using the device screen is just as enjoyable as the other good specs in this regard such as the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra. In addition to increasing the refresh rate, OnePlus is also expanding average sample size to reduce i the speed of responding to touch and reinforce that soft feeling he was talking about.
An additional 30 Hz involving the increase from 90 to 120 Hz does not appear to jump from 60 to 90 Hz.
However, the refresh rate is high and has clear distortions such as high energy consumption which translates into very limited independence, especially when you bet on the tandem of 120 Hz with Quad HD + resolution. I have no doubt: being able to enjoy extreme freedom and the highest resolution that a panel can offer is worth it. However, it may not be everyone thinks the same, and as a result it is appreciated that OnePlus offers opportunities to choose additional integrations that help increase the app's independence.
Otherwise, OnePlus developed the color distribution of this panel, so that it can now show reliable tones. That's a thought. In practice, we find a a beautiful and brightly colored screen
There are other features of the OnePlus 8 Pro notable panel. The first is the OnePlus decision keep the curves on both sides of the screen. And not only that, but the product has decided direct more these are allowed in respect of those of OnePlus 7 Pro, so that at some point those that already appear are also color distribution appear when looking at the phone in certain directions, as well as some annoying touches, which disappear to some extent when using a charge.
Before I say that the OnePlus 8 Pro is a much more comfortable phone than the 7 Pro because of its format, it's longer and less compact. Anyway, I think that the combination of the OnePlus 8 Pro format and the curves of the 7 Pro screen would have been great – To be honest, the best would be a screen without curves, but I'm afraid this is the world we live in now.
In the end, it's worth mentioning that, like any self-respecting first panel, one is the OnePlus 8 Pro support for HDR content compatible with major video platforms such as YouTube, Amazon Prime Video or Netflix.
As a teenager, in addition, the "Smoothing of motion graph" mode is introduced, which is nothing more than a program like the classic "motion smoothing" many producers include on their television, and works by translating "built-in frames" into frames video to give you a smooth idea when playing movies or series. According to OnePlus, a A dedicated MEMC chip to bring this feature to life.
Either way, if this made-to-TV approach is a disappointing trend for many video professionals, I'm afraid there's no reason why it can be different with a mobile phone. I mean, Tom Cruise himself to say.
Operations, software and experience
Let's talk now to work, the category where OnePlus mobiles has become a benchmark in the mobile phone industry in recent years, and one that would surely be the least in the company's most ambitious model to date.
In short, OnePlus 8 Pro is the fastest phone ever to pass through my handsOf course, to say that with a cellphone of this kind is currently nothing new.
To achieve such performance, OnePlus is choosing one year of offering its star model top specs for sale: Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 5G processor, 8 or 12 GB of RAM with the LPDDR5 technology, faster and more efficient than the LPDDR4x technology used by last year's OnePlus 7 Pro, and 128 or 256 GB of storage UFS 3.0.
However either You can combine these features and create the most efficient mobile device. When OnePlus 8 Pro really shines on experience provided by the duo involving a plethora of capabilities and software such as O oxygenOS, which in its version 10.5 based on Android 10 has reached its highest maturity level providing a perfect balance between simplicity and number of additions that, unlike what's happening with other platforms, add value in the case of the device.
Where OnePlus 8 Pro truly shines in the experience provided by the duo that contains the same amount of power and software like O oxygenOS.
Among those additions is the advanced "game mode", which continues to integrate one of the most important functions we have seen in a functioning forum, such as respond to text messages instantly in a native format using a floating keyboard while watching a video or playing.
It comes back learning modeBoth are available in "monochrome" mode which enables the screen to mimic the e-reader, and in the "colored" mode that gives tones and brings a white balance to the warm side for easy reading.
The list goes on with many customization options, the "matching apps" function so you have multiple application sessions, screen recorder that, unlike Pixel, is not hidden and works as expected from such Tool, and other uses they always do not contaminate the experience.
The launcher has changed a bit. The latest apps menu now shows a horizontal list with open app icons making them accessible. Unfortunately, OnePlus still doesn't allow access to the Google Discover feed from the screen on the left as it does with variants aimed at other regions, but the only option is still "OnePlus Shelf" that lets you add widgets and your own brand resources – which is surprisingly likely to be temporarily installed, but the latest update of OnePlus Launcher has removed it.
To conclude, I should say that the software knowledge of this OnePlus 8 Pro would have been very good, if not for the small problems I had in the last days. The first is the fact that ** display mode is basically impossible to disable, so A fingerprint scanner and last into the night. Something tells me that this problem is somehow related to Always on the Display system that the present has not been fully implemented, but that it must come at some point.
Moreover, today, Google Play identifies the device as unverified Play Protect, so that, among other things, it is possible pay with Google Pay.
These problems are closely linked to the simple fact that an app that I have been able to test a few weeks ago is a test unit, Its software has yet to specify how the terminal will reach the market. However, and since there are currently no other updates available on the device, I see it as a necessity to state the existence of this bugs.
(Almost) everything else
OnePlus 8 Pro is more than just a fast mobile phone with a great screen. In fact, there are several categories that do one of the most comprehensive and attractive phones of all 2020:
-
Your design it refers to the quality from the moment you hold your hand for the first time, especially for some of the back scratching matte -The blue colors-. In addition to its size and weight, the smoothness of the glass and the curves makes it a versatile portable phone, and much easier than the previous model. In aesthetic terms, there aren't many changes beyond the long format, and of course, the disappearance of the "pop-up" module of the front camera that provides a hole in the screen, which, among other things, allows OnePlus to equip your new phone, now yes, with an IP68 waterproof certification and dust.
-
Fingerprint reader now it takes up less space inside the phone. However, it is as fast and accurate as the last generation. This: is not as fast as a capacitive sensor, but much faster than a single ultrasonic like that on the Galaxy S20 series.
-
Finally there is the wireless charging, not just anyone. Thanks to the Warp Charge 30T technology, the OnePlus 8 Pro is charging wirelessly as quickly as it does using a standard product charger – or some can't produce 30W of power. Many were waiting for the arrival of wireless charging on mobile & # 39; s brands, and OnePlus did not disappoint.
-
Haptic vibration motor It's also one of the best features on the Android phone: it's slightly higher than the one installed by Samsung's housing chairs, and at the height – or slightly higher – of the latest Google Pixels. It is a robust, precise engine with reduced reaction time.
-
Stereo speakers They produce powerful, high-quality sound, which does not burn out even at high volume levels.
-
Once again the Alert Slider switch It is also a very useful and useful supplement when switching between different alert modes: sound, vibration or silence. I still don't understand why some products didn't copy this program.
Not so good with the OnePlus 8 Pro
Independence
The most common thing would be to think that, with 4,510 mAh battery, the independence of OnePlus 8 Pro, at least, was better than that of OnePlus 7 Pro. And … Unless you decide to lower the device screen up and keep the 120 Hz refresh rate and Quad HD resolution activated. If so, I'm afraid you will have to get used to it central autonomy.
OnePlus isn't the only company that has discovered this stone while on the road. The bulk of some products this year have decided to bet on panels with high price of refreshments could not provide a good balance between independence and excessive bleeding, even with measures such as limiting screen resolution when using the maximum available refresh rate as in the case of the S20 series model. Only OPPO received the X2 Pro that showed us the ability to offer autonomous conditions even with their screen parameters optimized to provide excellent performance, except that the battery is approximately 300 mAh smaller than the OnePlus 8 Pro.
Day by day, OnePlus 8 Pro has been able to live all day, approaching the end of the day approximately Screen for 5 hours on with 120 Hz mode and automatic resolution change depending on the content. These are by no means the best figures, but I must say that within two weeks of using this machine, I was never in a position to activate the high-power refresh mode, especially knowing that independently Whichever method you use, the battery will be fully charged and in less than an hour.
These are OnePlus 8 Pro cameras
2019 was the year when OnePlus, despite not reaching its peak of mobile photography, at least managed to deliver good enough result absenteeism in the highest part of the premium. This year, opts are strong correct the same formula used on OnePlus 7 Pro, with the aim of getting the best results.
This means The OnePlus 8 Pro features a flexible graphics system, by providing different senses for each condition.
The first is no other than the new one 48 megapixel Sony IMX689 that was already available to its first cousin OPPO Get the X2 Pro, with a to open f/1.78 and installed by EIS + OIS.
Next to him appears telephoto An 8-megapixel camera with optical stabilizer, the one that already existed in the OnePlus 7T Pro, and therefore enables the possibility of high-speed photography with three-dimensional zoom, and up to 30 digital zoom.
And there are two new ones. The first one stimulated the Ultra Wide sensor, committed to the highest decision given by the sensor 48-megapixel Sony IMX586 -The past year has been the primary sensor for the OnePlus 7 Pro, 7T and 7T Pro-, and it promises to take photos with a viewing angle of up to 119 degrees for greater detail and quality.
On the other hand, what OnePlus calls a Color filter room, available under the photographic program, and whose purpose it is to enable submit art results in real time to the scene before you take it using a combination of Hardware and software. However, OnePlus explains that the sensor is responsible for improving color interpretation when capturing images with a large sensor.
Where there is no change – to accept the format used beforehand: we get it same 16 megapixel camera that already existed in last year's models, and that more selfies and FullHD videos, and lets you unlock the phone with your face – and quickly, really.
And we don't see too much emergence in camera app device Not that you need it: it's already enough is simple and able to provide all controls, modes and settings in a pleasant and unpleasant way. As a new feature, direct access to the color-enabled camera results comes from the upper right, just next to the "Super Macro" mode, compatible with the front lenses, "tele" and Ultra Wide.
Date, drawings and night mode behavior
With a sensor setup similar to last year's model, it's no wonder the results are very similar. And that usually is a very good thing.
Tony's new IMX689 sensor, larger and more prominent than last year's IMX586, added to software that has been developing for months, translates to the best rate for photos, and in many cases available high-quality, high-quality images with even the most sophisticated texts, a good range of flexibility and correct color production, but the software has a tendency to expose photography.
At night, the same. The benefits of the new sensor start to appear when light falls but we are still able to capture more detailed images, which is much more effective when using the mode Night stand, that without reaching the level Night vision The Google Pixel, or the night mode of the latest Huawei terminals, does its job well.

One improved feature compared to last year's model image mode. In my tests, OnePlus 8 Pro was able to capture images a more accurate cut and level of detail in the previous article the highest for those captured by the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra. And I'm afraid the reason for this change from the previous generation came from the decision of OnePlus start processing images without the fear that higher differences might lead to darker than usual, unlike some firms like Samsung to produce lighter images, but in some cases they are "flat" and less dull. In this sense, yes, I'm afraid that Google continues to be the kind that offers the best between shadows and lights, especially in paintings.
Of course, despite the improvements, OnePlus 8 Pro image mode still doesn't work as it should. When the subject is to be considered human, it will generally have no problem producing a blur unless the background is very complex. However, when we try to produce objects or animals, in many cases we will see how the camera cannot identify the subject in the foreground nor will it produce a blurred background effect no matter how close or out we like it. And even in achieving this, the outcome may not be as we expected.
Having said that, I must also say that, as was the case with the Galaxy S20 Ultra, the main sensor is, by default, produce a natural background blur due to the depth of field of this camera compared to other sensors. This makes switching to image mode sometimes necessary or unnecessary since, by default, a better image will have a fun backdrop and not a shorter one.
Sensors accessories they also provide excellent results, and attract attention especially the the image quality of the image provided by the three sensors. Last year, the main camera and "telephoto" were able to capture high-quality images, while Ultra Wide had something in the background. At this point, on the other hand, the Ultra wide-angle lens increases to a certain extent thanks to a better sensor, eventually catching up with other cameras.
As for "telephoto", because it's the same one that was available on the OnePlus 7T Pro, there's nothing new to say: up to three times the increase, images maintain a good level of detail, or from when the quality starts to decrease to 30 magnification, where it will be impossible to obtain the specified image. In any case, it's appreciated Image depicting a photo when shooting scenes using zoom.

The selfies for OnePlus 8 Pro too good qualityFortunately, OnePlus does not fall to the height of some extremely smooth products and, unless it's night or not enough light, captors will be adequately defined.
Video recording
Like all endings introduced in 2020, OnePlus 8 Pro is capable of installing 4K video at 60 FPS, and as something new this year is possible Use a hybrid boost system when shooting 4K clips at 30 FPS, in addition to the "audio zoom" method allowed to thank the additional microphone next to the rear camera module. That way, I have to say I would switching between sensors Not so much when it comes to capturing video.
The results are good. As for image quality and audio quality, it doesn't come at the level of Samsung's best models, but it does compare to other similarly priced models like the Pixel 4 itself.
OnePlus 8 Pro, Andro4all's thoughts and last thoughts
Aside from how "shocking" it is to see the price of over 900 euros on a OnePlus mobile phone – I still remember when I bought my OnePlus 3 at 399 euros a few years ago -, and the difficulty of having a cellphone – what. whatever – should, or should not, cost around 1,000 euros, the fact is that these days on the phone, and after using devices like the Pixel 4 XL or Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra, I never really thought we were using a low-level forum. On the contrary.
For the first time since I've been testing and analyzing mobiles, this is the only model where I really see that there is no cut of any kind: It's as powerful and fast as you'd expect from a OnePlus mobile, its screen is just as efficient, the camera is multi-functional and highly capable, and it's a commitment that has been pulling in previous product type calls for many years.
Of course, the OnePlus motion that began drawing last year with OnePlus 7 Pro and which concludes with the arrival of the new model is also dangerous: about 1,000 euros cost this OnePlus 8 Pro, it is possible to get models like the Galaxy S20 Plus or iPhone 11 Pro.
Also, it's not that the 8 Pro is a low-end model, far from it, and in fact the reasons why someone would choose the model without this decrease in personal preference and not so much in terms of individual differences. But it should not be remembered that OnePlus has become a company that supports such a large segment of the public that knows how to value its capabilities create the highest quality calls at a price that was far from the math that great of this league. The "problem" is that OnePlus has turned into the one we once vowed to destroy, and now it's one of those great.
Price and where to buy OnePlus 8 Pro
OnePlus offers two different 8 Pro settings, with 8 or 12 GB of RAM and 128 or 256 GB of internal storage respectively. Their prices are 909 and 1,009 euros in Spain, and can be booked from the day of their launch. Later in the day April 21stThey can be purchased legally from the official product website and from authorized distributors such as Amazon.

| Conclusions | The excuses and commitments are over: OnePlus has finally tried to introduce a hands-free cellphone, capable of playing in the same league as the greats in the telecommunications industry. Unless you're looking for a phone with the best camera on the market, or that you have personal options for features that can only be set up at terminals for other types of products, I can't think of reasons to choose another model instead of the OnePlus 8 Pro. |
