OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro review - Should you go Pro? By TechRadar

I'm David thumb from Schrader needs to be standard, one plus eight and the higher end, one plus eight pro the newest latest and greatest from OnePlus boss, the priciest 2, with a cost. Let's take a look, let's start with what they both have in common, both phones pack, the snapdragon 865 chipsets, which also means there 5g, yes, the first one plus phones with 5g, but their price $6.99 for the one plus 8 and $9.99 for the 1 plus 8 pro means they're going be some of the cheapest 5g phones on the market, if not the cheapest. In some regions, both phones start with 8 gigabytes of RAM. You can bump that up to 12 gigabytes, if you want start with 128 gigabytes of storage, bump that up to 256 gigabytes, either way fast phones as you'd expect from OnePlus. Now the displays where these phones start to diverge. Your standard, 1 + 8, has full HD 24 hundred by 1080 resolution display, which is fine for your Netflix, you're binging or whatever.

It's not gonna, be as sharp as the quad HD display on the 1 plus 8 CRO, but it costs extra. So do you really need that finer screen if you're just going to be watching Netflix playing games whatever you also start with 90 Hertz, refresh rate maximum on the 1 + 8 + 120 on the 1 + 8 Pro, now other phones that have this. This hyper refresh rate like these Samsung Galaxy s 20 they cap out at 120 Hertz, but they also can't do that at full resolution. The 1 + 8 pro cams, which is a feather in its cap. Now both phones have longer than all-day battery, as we've come to expect from one plus four to three hundred million battery in the 1 + 8, a forty-five hundred and ten million battery in the OnePlus 8 pro, but the OnePlus a pro also has wireless charging for the first time.

The shame it's not in the cheaper model, but that does mean you can combine it with the new one + wireless charger which they claim gets up to 30 watts, but only for the one plus a pro pretty nifty. That's official $70, if you want it. Otherwise, it works with QI compatible chargers up to 10 watts and, of course, in the box. You also get one plus work charge.30 T, which we found brought either phone up from 10% to a full charge in under an hour again, not something that's new. We've had it since the OnePlus 70, but it's still impressive.

We still love being able to nuke our phone up to full charge whenever we need to wander outside now. Clearly, these flagships appeal to slightly different people. The OnePlus has a few fewer features stuff. You probably are going to miss like a telephoto lens wireless charging, sharper screen, maybe but for $700 a 5g phone you're, not gonna, get that much deeper. This year, the OnePlus a pro is going to be for the upper-crust people who really want to have the top-of-the-line, and it gives the Samsung Galaxy S 20 run for its money.

Now we're still not quite at parity with camera quality, but one plus, it's made some jumps here, a little better night's gig a little better, especially better zoom photography, but you are paying a premium, for it is the most expensive phone. One plus is put out aside from, of course, the McLaren editions, but it's pushing toward flagship parity that we really haven't seen one plus achieved thus far, and even with the one plus eight we're seeing some flagship touches. You can tell that it's got this. Finally, this curved display this waterfall style display that we see in flagship from Samsung, and it's glamorous back that doesn't look good and the cameras that we have, but we're making do so. Is it worth the money? Well, yes, depending on this is gonna, be a thorn in the side of a lot of OnePlus fanboys who've really relied on OnePlus to put out a very inexpensive but flagship SPENT phone, which is kind of what we expected from the third phone in the lineup that we didn't see the OnePlus 8 light, which BAM may not be coming later this year, depending on which rumors you want to believe.

And if we do see that, then that's going to make the one plus eight line a little more competitive with a bunch of the other powerful mid-range phones. We're seeing like the iPhone SE 20/20 that just got announced, which packs the same. A 13 Bionic chip that the iPhone 11 series does and the Google Pixel for a when it eventually comes out. We're assuming is going to have an incredible camera suite that will probably give the one plus a two run for its money. So it was the 1 plus a 1 plus a pro worth it.

We think so. But it depends on what you're looking for you're not going to get the telephoto lenses in the 1 plus 8 you're. Not going to get some of the photography that you'd get in other Android flagships with the 1 plus 8 pro, but they're, both high G, capable, and they're cheaper than other five G capable phones on the market. If that's what you're really looking for, and they're the best phones that one plus we put out, if you are a one plus diehard, you know you're out there, I'm David Lung, the tech radar.
