OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro hands-on review By GSMArena Official

What's going on everyone and Ricky here at GSM, marina, your destination for smartphones, specs news and reviews. OnePlus has officially unveiled its latest smartphone duo. The one + 8 +, 1, + 8 Pro, are finally official, and they are more expensive than ever. So what did OnePlus do with the 8 and the 8 Pro this time around? Let's take a look at what's new, looking at both the 8 and 8 Pro, they look strikingly similar to each other, and they share a bunch of similarities with the 7 Pro. Both the 8 and 8 Pro now offer curved edge displays. The 8 Pro has a deeper curve than the 8.

Otherwise, both phones now use hole, punch, selfie cameras rather than the notch on the 70 and the pop-up camera from the 7 pro. The curves on both phones are a little tighter from the tapered edges on the back to the radius of the corners. This gives them slightly more squarish appearances, but only slightly in terms of how it feels in the hand the 8 pretty much feels exactly like the 7 pro and dimensions, except. The 8 is slightly narrower than the 7 pro. Meanwhile, the 8 pro feels a little meteor than the 7 pro, since the curves are a little tighter, but it's a slightly taller than the 7 pro and the same width.

The 1 + 8 that we received has the interstellar glow finish. It's a glossy finish with a gradient featuring hints of silver, blue and peach. It reminds me of the colors I see when the Sun rises, and it looks really nice. The headlining color of the 1 + 8 pro is the ultramarine blue and the name of the color has its origins in the 15th century, art in Europe, but anyway the blue is so deep and captivating, with its matte soft touch finish between the nebula blue on the 7 pro and the glacier blue from the 70. This one is my favorite blue from OnePlus.

So far, looking at the displays, the OnePlus 8 has a 6 point.5 5 inch display with a 20 by 9 aspect ratio. This is a full HD plus AMOLED panel, with a 90 Hertz refresh rate like last year. On the other hand, the OnePlus 8 pro has a six point. Seven eight inch display with a HD+ resolution. It has the same 20 by 9 aspect ratio as the one + 8 + 1 + claims that both of these displays are highly accurate, color wise aside from being higher res than the 8.

The 8 Pro also has a faster 120, Hertz refresh rate and can interpolate additional frames with motion smoothness -1 cell save my verdict for the full review. The other thing the 8 pro introduces is an RGB sensor that allows for automatic tone adjustment of the display, depending on your surroundings. Much like apples, true tone on iPhones. Both devices are powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 paired with the Qualcomm x 55 modem, so they will be compatible with sub 6 gigahertz 5g network bands and Verizon will offer a custom variant compatible with its millimeter-wave 5g network. Both phones now have a larger batterie.

The 8 packs a forty-three hundred million power battery, while the larger eight pro has a forty-five 10 million power pack, both use one plus's warp charge, 30 T adapter, but the OnePlus 8 pro finally brings a wireless charging. OnePlus also introduced its warp charge, 30 wireless charger, which can recharge the OnePlus 8 pro from 0 to 50 percent in just 30 minutes wirelessly. In addition, the 8 pro even supports reverse wireless charging, which just puts the icing on the cake. Finally, we get to the cameras, starting with the OnePlus 8 pro. It has an updated 48, megapixel sensor with larger pixels and all pixel omnidirectional autofocus, so I'm, hoping to see much better low-light performance and faster, focusing the ultra-wide uses, a 48 megapixel sensor, ?, though not as physically large and there's three times: zoom 8 megapixels, telephoto camera.

The fourth camera is a new addition that OnePlus calls the color filter camera in the camera, app there's a new 48 megapixel toggle. That makes it easier to shoot in full resolution with either the main or the ultra wired cameras. We wonder if the telephoto camera takes better photos than if we would just crop it out of the for resolution. Shot the 1 plus 8 is where things get a little confusing. It uses the same 48 megapixel sensor from the 70 and the aperture is slightly dimmer at F 175.

You still keep the same: 16 megapixel ultra-wide camera, also from the 70, but instead of a telephoto camera OnePlus went with a 2 megapixel macro, and I'm just trying to wonder why you can still shoot 2 times zoom photos, but it will just crop them out of the main camera. So the camera situation here doesn't sound like an upgrade for selfies. Both the 8 and 8 pro use, the exact same 16, megapixel, camera module from the 7 pro and the 70. Only now it's embedded into a punch hole behind the screen, there's a new smart pet capture mode that can now recognize dogs and cats when taking portrait photos. So you can snap pictures of your pets and there's a new flicker detection mode, but that's only on the 1 plus 8 Pro and that will automatically change the camera.

Shutter speed when there's a lighting flicker present, so we have two new phones from 1 plus the 8 and the 8 Pro, starting with the 1 plus 8 Pro. The biggest improvements are the new processor 5g support, a bigger battery, superfast wireless charging and there's an updated camera module. There's. Also, the new hunter and 20 Hertz display that's brighter and more color accurate than before. So we see upgrades across the board now the 1 + 8 this one's a little different on paper.

It feels like the camera, is a downgrade, there's no longer a dedicated telephoto camera and why replace it with a 2 megapixel macro camp, the 70 had an ultra-wide camera with autofocus, so it doubled as its macro camera. It feels like the 2 megapixel. Camera is only there so that the phone doesn't revert to a dual camera since the 70 had three cameras, never settled right. The one plus eight starts at $6.99 for the 8 gig 128 gig versions and $7.99 for the next step up: 12 gigs, 256 gigs, then the 1 plus 8 Pro starts at 899 for the 8 gig 128 gig versions, and if you want the deep ultramarine blue color, it only comes in the 12 gig 256 gig option, which goes for $9.99 with the 8 and 8 Pro. This is the most expensive generation of OnePlus phones.

So far, so you can expect our full review to be as critical as ever, because when a phone maker asks for a grand, it needs to be able to deliver. That said, if you have any questions about either of these OnePlus phones make sure you leave a comment down below or hit me up on social media. So we can touch on it on the full reviews, with that I'm Enrique, with GSM, marina thanks for watching, and I'll, see you guys next time.
