OnePlus 8 Review | This phone has EVERYTHING...except... By Reviews.org

I've been a one-plus fan for a bit, and so I was excited to meet the one plus eight and eight pro since their lunch. There's been a lot of talk about the value of the one plus eight phones, as the price has gone up steadily, so today we're taking a look at the new one plus eight and asking if you're still getting the most bang for your buck with their latest offer hey. If any of these videos have helped you, if this one helps, you decide make a determination. Please hit us with that thumbs. Up with that subscribe and hit that notification bell, so you'll get all the updates when we upload the latest videos. First, let's take a look at the hardware for 2020 the right side of the phone has the power button and the alert slider.

This is one of my favorite hardware features of this phone and I think all Android phones actually should have it. On the left side. You get the volume rocker bottom of the phone is where you'll find the USB-C port SIM slot microphone and one half of the stereo speakers top of the phone you'd get another microphone in front of the phone. You get a crisp six and a half inch 2400 by 1080 fluid AMOLED screen, which supports RGB and display p3 with HDR 10 plus support and a 90 Hertz refresh rate this year, OnePlus has removed the center teardrop front-facing camera, and instead they've gone with a left side. Small hole punch.

The camera this year is a 16 megapixel affair and take solid selfies in ideal conditions and decent selfies in low light. Above the camera is the second speaker in the stereo pair. This one mainly handles higher frequency sounds and between the two. They definitely get loud enough for watching you to the Netflix. The back of the phone is a triple stacked lens setup.

Unlike last year, which was the circular setup you're going to get a 48 megapixel Sony sensor with optical image, stabilization, a 2 megapixel macro lens and a 16 megapixel ultra wide-angle lens with a 116 degree field of view. You do get a nights cape mode, AI scene, detection and raw image. Support beneath those cameras is a 4300 William hour battery, which netted some sent stick results in my daily use. It supports work, charge 30, T, fast charging. The processor in there is Qualcomm's snapdragon 865 with the ex 55 5g modem.

The unit on revealing is the version with 8 gigabytes of RAM and 128 gigabytes of storage. So for $700, what kind of user experience are you getting the biggest con that I'll mention up front is the same one I brought up with the previous generation 1 + 70, and that is the lack of wireless charging. There are cheaper phones which have this feature in 2020. That's ahead, you won't need it all that much because the battery life I've been getting is excellent. Once tenth I didn't charge overnight and went 27 hours with almost seven hours screen on time to drain the battery to 4% I regularly got a solid day's worth of time out of this battery, with anywhere from four to six hours of screen on time, and because this phone features 30 watt charging I was able to get the phone from 4 percent to 100 percent in approximately 50 minutes using the included charger.

This means that from dead you'll be able to get the phone from 0% to 50% in around 30 minutes. If you aren't someone who wants a massive screen, this is probably the phone you're looking for. It feels small, fast and light its agile that 90 Hertz refresh rate adds to that feeling of being fast. The screen is buttery smooth and content on the phone looks great with the HDR 10 plus screen I pulled up some animation on YouTube from Lion animation, the same company who I've shown in previous reviews that created the mighty grandpa tone. This time it is animation for a bike commercial out of Japan.

It is slick and looks great on this display. The sound is wonderful as well. I also pulled up The Witcher to check out the screens, dynamic range colors pop, and they should, as you can see, the wolf's eyes that Henry Cavils has, in this banquet scene. You'll also notice the colors of the men's capes and other wardrobe embellishments. The colors are so vibrant in these images, and this is all 1080p video, not 4k, but watching these and listening to them, I, don't feel as though I'm missing anything one thing I tested among other 5g handsets I'm, currently reviewing is signal strength.

The Equality of the phone's antennas and I have to say that out of the few I'm testing, the 1+8 works quite well I'm in a fringe, 5g area. So, while I get serviced, some phones struggle to hold the 5g signal, while others like the 1 plus 8, hold it fine and deliver download speeds in the 40 to 50 megabit range according to the Auckland to stab, and since the phone seems to handle. Holding that connection, it didn't feel like battery life was hinted at all by 5g service, which it held the whole time it was in my home, except for on one location and that's the restroom TMI, maybe I, don't know in this version of oxygen OS everything I've enjoyed is still there. The deep levels of customization are there. You can fine-tune everything from the display color saturation to the color of the notification, shade icons to the icon, shapes and much, much more.

All of that without getting in the way of the operating system, Android 10 oxygen OS is one of my favorite overlays for its bounds of utility and its transparency. Oh, and the lack of blow wear and still in this iteration of the phone, and it's hardware. It feels as though OnePlus implementation of the fingerprint scanner is the one to beat scans or unlocks are fast with rarely a misfire. It really is a best-in-class fingerprint scanner. What low-light camera photography may not be number one, but it's far from poor, as you can see in these low-light photos taken at a local metro.

Stop here in Los Angeles, the colors are solid, and the blacks are serviceable. Where noise is concerned, even the ultra wide-angle camera took some pretty solid night mode photos with acceptable amounts of noise in the darker regions of the images in these night mode photos. The colors are a bit over saturated, but the contrast is respectable. The dark areas around the light have some flaring and noise, but again this image is more than serviceable matter of fact, if you go pixel peeping and blow it up around the region with the pipes, the image maintains a solid amount of sharpness and quality for a low-light shot. So one plus eight final thoughts isn't worth it.

There are phones on the market which far exceed this pushing as much as $1,400 and with this phone other than the wireless charging, these really our flagship specs and with some carriers offering the phone at 50% off right now, it's a heck of a buy at that price point at $700, one plus in the States, is really pushing price, although in India it looks like they're really trying to keep to that budget marker that they have set here in the States. So that's my take. What do you think about 1+8? Do you think that this current price point this year that it's still worth it that it is still the standout phone it has been in previous iterations I? Have my thoughts on this whole expensive phone thing and the fact that I think that to a degree we, the consumers, are to blame for that, but that's a whole different discussion for a whole other video, hey, if there's anything I haven't mentioned. If there's anything you'd like to know more about, please leave a comment below I'll get to it.
