OnePlus 8 Pro Review - Raising the Bar! By C4ETech

Once, the slot ships have generally been created performance, but I've traditionally had a few certain omissions that stop them from being a top-tier fictional. What happens when one Plus decides to share their flagship killer image and instead go all out? Well, the 1+8 Pro is what happens so? How does it fail? I've used it as my primary smartphone for a little over a week and in this video I'm gonna. Take you through the pros cons and everything else. You need to know about the one percent: Pro, hey guys, ash here from Safari tech and if you do end up liking. What you see in this video please subscribe and turn on notifications by hitting that Bell icon. Let's now get started, OnePlus have included a lot of nice to have SU the OnePlus 8 pro things that they've emitted in the past, like official dust and water resistance in the form of an ip68 rating wireless charging, and I'm talking about wireless charging, one plus is usual line.

Was it's not fast enough and that's why we skipped it now? They've not really gone back on their word. They've spent the time and effort to get fast enough wireless charging before actually including it in their flagship product. This is proprietary charging technology work, charge, 30 Wireless. If you have a regular QI charger that a pro will still charge wirelessly but slower, and if you do buy this charger, you can charge other phones that support wireless charging. Suppose the QI standard, but again it's not gonna, be quite as fast by the way, there's also reverse wireless charging to help charge, airports and the ilk.

Now one area where a nice-to-have has actually been taken away from us, it's gotta be with the display. Now, don't get me wrong. This display has a lot of going for it. It's one of the most color accurate panels out there. Today it's got a quad HD Plus resolution ? its sharp.

It also happens to be quite large at six point: seven, eight inches, it's very bright. So, although use wasn't an issue, the refresh rate as a solid 120 Hertz with 240 Hertz that sampling now here's the kicker unlike say the S 20 series, you can run this display at quad, HD, plus and 120 Hertz. At the same time, so, what's the downside? Last year, seven pro it had a pop-up camera, meaning it was all scream free of any kind of interruption this year, no one place has opted to go with a punch, hole to the top left, I kind of understand why they had to do it. Given the ip68 certification and all that, but this AMOLED panel, it still looks great, but I just can't help feeling it's a minor step back nope talking about that punch, hole and the selfie camera. That's in it the mechanism it's changed from last year, but the sensor itself.

It's not it's still that 16 megapixel I am x47 one. It's paired with a f2 lens. One person has not used this exact setup for three generations of phones, the 770 and of the aid. That said, it's still a good sense of, though the detail the skin tones there. Okay now one thing worth noting is that the video output via the selfie camera is capped at 1080p.

It is a minor thing, it is nitpicking, but then again we are not comparing one plus black ships with the iPhones and the S trainees of the world, so when they can do 4k- and this cannot I feel it's something worth mentioning next- the curved edges, whether its palm rejection issues or the reflections it causes. It is something that a fair few are in fans of, especially given that even Samsung has switched back to flat panels me personally, I, don't mind it in fact, I actually like how premium it makes the display. Look that infinity. Look if I'm going to pick a line from Samsung's marketing. Now angling, we did have some blog crush issues.

That I mean not use personally, but these are being reported under low light. The display starts looking a bit weird. Some people have experienced it. My unit doesn't have it, but it is something to keep in mind, though you have to make this better. One plus EV recently capped the lowest brightness setting, so it doesn't go as low as say.

The seventh Rose panel can this issues something OnePlus seems to be working on, so maybe future updates can get us the lower brightness levels back without the black Rocha shoe. But at this point this isn't something we can say for sure talking about low light. There is another issue, even when you dim the brightness as much as possible. The screen still gets extremely bright and when you scan your fingerprint, yes I do understand. Optical scanners need the light, but if other brands are making it work without the display having to blind us I suppose OnePlus should also be able to do it now.

Finally, that's the lack of a true always-on functionality here. This isn't something I actually use a lot, so I'm, okay, with it not being there I'm, okay with one plus intermittent implementation, but then again, if that is something you're looking for, do keep this in mind. Now, apart from these minor cons- and yes, they are minor cons the display. It is quite a pleasure to use quad HD plus 120 Hertz. There are no performance issues, given that we have a snapdragon 860 drive under the hood.

Everything here it feels fluid the media. Experience is also excellent. Thanks to that, you will speak a set-up, and while we are talking about audio, let's also talk about the cellular reception and call quality this kind of things. First, there is 5g support. It's not really useful in India, but hey, it is their second cell reception call quality.

They were great and in face more than my usual share of dropped, calls I mean that has more to do with where I lived on the phones I test. There are a few areas in my house and my studio where I do get reception properly, and that is basically what happens with almost all phones, I test and the OnePlus a pro was no different. Now there is no headphone jack, which is something we've come to expect from flagships these days, but I, don't know your phones included in the box or even a dongle for that matter, with OnePlus wanting to go full on flagship. Take on Apple and Samsung I'm surprised they didn't add a pair of type-c bullets in the box. Maybe next time I don't know.

So what do you think should OnePlus have actually added type C bullets in the box already feel it's ok, not having your phone's in the box, or maybe you feel OnePlus should probably do what Apple is expected to do with their next release and cut out the charger. Let me know whatever your thoughts are in the comments, and I'm jokes apart the user experience. It is right up there with the best iPhone to the best s to any serious phones are now some might even say. This experience is better. Since the OnePlus 8 Pro has one of the snappiest interfaces in oxygen.

Os, one person like the competition is not afraid to let its interface resemble stock. In fact, this time they've even switch self out with Google feed I mean if you like shelf, you can always switch it back on, but it's Google by default. A lot of things in oxygen. Os is the way Google meant it to be. The additions, like the send mode to take a break from everything or the dart mode or the like wall people.

The change is based on weather conditions. These are all nice touches that don't wait on the info interface, as always. I, also really like the alert slider when I'm using one postpones, it happens to be very convenient. Now talking about things are like the frosted glass finish to the back. It looks excellent now, generally, glass bills, they love premium, they feel premium, but they have two major caveat one.

They are slippery, which the eight pro most definitely is now number two glass packs are usually fingerprint magnets, but that's not the case here with the 1% pro the matte finish. It doesn't pick up fingerprints or smudges square area quite as easily. By the way, this is girl that last five to the back and 6 to the front. Now some of you were asking me if the phone's weight distribution was off. The answer is no: it's pretty evenly distributed.

Neither talk nor bottom-heavy, that's it. You're going to have trouble using this phone single-handed, given the large display at sports. You're going to have to resort to using both hands more often than not now one hand or two. However, you're going to use it. You're gonna definitely enjoy the user experience, and it's not just you know, oxygen OS.

The hardware underneath is also right up there with the best luck shirts around it's the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 flagship chip. That's coupled with eight or twelve gigs available year, five drams, 128 or 256 gigs of pure lean. You have EFS 3.0 storage. The battery capacity is also a very respectable 4510 William hour in my 10 or so days using this at 120 Hertz at quad HD, nonetheless, I never had to plug in the phone before the end of my day, and I'm sure most of you aren't going to have to either. Of course, the battery life here is even better if you dial down either the resolution or the refresh rate when it comes time to charge the pro whether it's why, yes, it's warp charge, either way so rapid, fast, there's.

Now everything we've seen so far, and these are things we've come to expect from our OnePlus flagship. Yes, this year we have a few nice to haves, but you get what I'm saying these are all things that we take for granted with one plus now the one area where OnePlus usually lags behind the competition. The big boys is with optics now this third change with an 8 pro. Well, yes, and no ok, let me explain myself here we have four cameras. The primary is Sony's new AMX six, eight nine of 48 megapixel sensor paired with an optically stabilized, F, 1.8 lens and a good light. The images they come across create look at how this car forms the dynamic range is also right up there with the best, the included night mode.

That also works great, the sense of being quite large and the F 1.8 aperture, the optical stabilization. They also help. The second sensor is an 8 megapixel telephoto. Technically it's 12 megapixels with 2x zoom, but one plus crops and calls it 3x, hybrid, zoom and markets it as an 8 megapixel sensor. This again has a stabilized lens, f 2.4, the colors. They do seem a little muted in comparison to the primary, but from a detail perspective, it's good the wide-angle, and that was the surprise.

OnePlus has chosen to go with the primary sensor from the last gen 1 + 70 Pro, the AMX 5 8 6, it's paired with the F 2.2 l provide here. The colors and dynamic range are pretty close to the primary. This sensor also helps shoot macro Pure foods. In fact, I like this implementation. More than a lot of dedicated macro options, the final sensor is a color filter.

This is what gave the 8 pro its x-ray vision capabilities, but that has sadly been removed by one plus. Now. As for video, we get up to 4k at 60fps and the footage is excellent. There's a super stable mode ?, so everything I've been saying so far- has been predominantly positive right. So why did I say this was usually lag behind the competition, the big voice, s with optics now the star change with an 8 pro? Well, yes, and no, because that's because well, this is the closest one plus have come to talk to your cameras.

It still feels a little lacking a little behind, but then again do you know what else the pro is a little behind on, in fact, a lot behind on the price you know the galaxy is 20 plus starts at seventy-four thousand rupees, the iPhone 11 chrome axe, 1, lakh, 7000 rupees, the OnePlus 8 Pro. It costs roughly half of that at 55 thousand rupees. Now in markets like the United States, where the 8 pro costs $900 compared to the element, Pro Max and the S 20, plus as price tags, 1,100 and 1,200 respectively. The price difference here it's much higher and given that most of the 8 Pro is right up there with the other flagships. Despite one places you're on your price hike, I feel this happens to be a good deal now, given the Indochina border issues, whether you want to buy Chinese hardware or not, that is something I'm going to.

Let you decide, but if you are looking to buy a phone from a Chinese brand, if you're, ok buying one plus, then the 8 Pro is well worth the asking price is what I'm saying so? That's my two cents on the 8 Pro now I want to know what you think leave a comment down below also thumbs up thumbs down, based on whatever you felt about this video subscribe down modifications, but having that Bell icon, if you haven't yet, and thanks a lot for watching til next time, my name's ash you've been watching c4e tech, and I'm signing off for now.
