OnePlus 8 VS iPhone 11: Which is the BEST Flagship Killer? By Pocketnow

I love how Michael Fisher recently pointed out the reality behind the new one plus approach, you either die a hero, or you live long enough to become the villain. It seems the company we once call the flagship killer has decided to switch sides, and it's not because of the 1+8 Pro I mean that's finally, the flagship without compromise that we've been asking for. So it's up to you. If you want to pay more for it. No, for me, the main antagonist of the story is the one was 8. This phone is meant to satisfy those looking for everything one plus has been known for, and yet this is the first time we get the compromise without the aggressive price at $699 we're already talking iPhone 11 territory, which means that either one plus has forgotten why it's developed such a fan base, or it might just be that it feels that it's flesh of killer successor is just this good or better I'm hanging out even with pocket.

Now- and this is one plus eight vs. iPhone 11, sponsored by surf shark, stick around to learn how you can save on one of the most powerful VPNs. What happens when the tables are turned just a couple of years ago, the one plus six was half the price of the iPhone ten, so calling out a winner in any comparison would have always been a no-brainer, but then in 2019 it's ESA Apple decided to play hardball with how aggressive at price the iPhone 11, and even that comparison was easy, because the OnePlus 70 was still $100 less expensive for 2020. You'd assume that this is 1 plus telling Apple hey. My 1, plus 8 is equal to your iPhone 11, given the price match, but that's not entirely accurate.

You actually first have to acknowledge how different these phones are they're, both made of the same aluminum and glass materials, but visually. This is a clear design from 2018 competing with a more modern product. For example, the one plus 8 is 14 grams, lighter than the iPhone 11, and this is hard to believe, since the 8 is 10 millimeters taller addressing the large phone frenzy of most, it's also 3, millimeters narrower and a hair thinner, and this is even with the larger 4300 William hour. Battery versus 3110, like props, to OnePlus for their more efficient design. Second is 5g might not be something you care about, but if you hold on to a phone for more than a year, you will and the iPhone does not include it, while the OnePlus SE doesn't just include the sub 6 flavor of T-Mobile, but also the millimeter wave flavor on Verizon, and that latter statement is actually the most important because in the past, every single phone that supported the high band on big red was massive just to fit all the extra antennas well, I think it's safe to say that the 1 plus 8 is probably the smallest phone that supports millimeter-wave.

Third is the internals, but not for a chip. Comparison as the 865 wins certain things and the a13 Bionic wins others. What matters to you is which phone gives you more for the same money and well, the OnePlus 8 starts at double the RAM. Double the storage. That's technically faster Bluetooth is also a newer standard, though Wi-Fi is the same.

Really. The iPhone only wins in its IP rating versus one plus being splash proof and the slow wireless charging support. Sadly, the OnePlus 8 has no coil, but the warp charge. Thirty T adapter in the Box makes the iPhones five watt solution. Look like a toy in a crackerjack box, then the display battle only makes matters worse.

For the iPhone sure Apple does know how to calibrate an LCD, but it's no fluid AMOLED. We're talking six point: five: five inches versus six point: one 88% screen to body ratio versus seventy 1080p resolution versus an odd eight. Twenty-eight P HDR 10, plus support versus none. Ninety Hertz refresh rate versus sixty more than a thousand nits of brightness versus 625, very minor bezels versus some of the largest left, like sorry Apple, but the one plus eight is just that good and sure. I could say that the speaker quality is similar, but that's about it.

I think it's really a no-brainer that the one plus eight is not just superior when it comes to hardware, but also gives you a lot more for the same money now by now. You're already accustomed to my impressions when it comes to comparing iOS to Android I, always feel that the best thing is to just give them a tie, because it's all a matter of taste I mean there's no such thing as a special iPhone 11 version of iOS. Aside from letting you flip the screen and certain applications, it is what it is, regardless of which phone you pick. Those of you looking for simplicity and consistency, I think there's no better choice than what Apple offers. If anything I'd say, I prefer Apple's App Store, because in many cases certain applications are exclusive to iOS and those that aren't still tend to be more complete still for customizability android.

As king and oxygen OS remains my favorite platform with apple. It's either you buy into gestures or a home button where OnePlus users can choose both. You can pick Amazon's an assistant versus the Google Assistant any day and having the Google feed on the launcher is far more useful than apple's choice of widgets at the left and then there's the added perks like reading mode zen mode and OnePlus gaming features again not calling out a winner, but I think it's clear that OnePlus is offering a Moscow we'd experience now, regardless of which device you pick I do believe you should match the power of either platform with the power of APN I believe that everyone should have a VPN for tons of reasons and what are the most complete and affordable solutions with added benefits. Is today's sponsor surf shark? It's just $1.99 a month and the benefits begin with allowing unlimited multiple connections at once, which I haven't seen any other VPN service provide a VPN allows you to connect locally to different regions. So you don't have to worry about your favorite Netflix series being blocked in your country.

You can even avoid price discrimination by companies who bump up the prices of plane, tickets or hotels, depending on where you're browsing from and then there's browser security, which is a huge issue everywhere and surf shark, allows you to not just encrypt your connection, but you can multi hop and use different servers for encryption at the same time for half the price of a lot say a month, I know of no other VPN service that offers so much I highly recommend you give surf shark a try, follow the first link in the description below and enter promo code pocket. Now you get 83 percent off an extra month for free now, after using the one plus eight for weeks in the iPhone 11 for months on and off, I'm going to call the endurance battle. Another tie, the iPhone 11 is and has always been a media consumption King, but so has every single one plus phone that I've ever tried. If anything, I'd say that I'm really impressed that the eight handles daily tasked with all these added antennas. It could just be that it's because I haven't been able to test 5g during the whole Cove at nineteen mess, but from the experience I had with the 70 pro on 5g I.

Don't expect many differences phone calls on both sound good as well, but I do prefer the deeper audio coming from the iPhone, even if colors didn't really tell a difference now the battle where I felt that the OnePlus 8 was going to be no match of the iPhone 11 was the camera, and that would have been the case if I had run this comparison. A week ago, before the most recent software update, I was really underwhelmed. With this camera on my first video, but things have changed. Spec wise. The numbers game belongs to one plus we're not just talking about more megapixels on the primary sensor, but also a larger die.

This allows the company to crop its way into the telephoto camera. It doesn't include, while Apple can't do any tricks for lossless zoom. They both have an ultra-wide, though OnePlus offers more megapixels and that third sensor on the 1 plus 8 is a 2 megapixel macro that does sound like something cool to have, but the implementation is washed out in just unusable in most cases as for results. Well, where do I start? This is one of those cases where, during the day, you will notice differences, the iPhone tends to be warmer and smoother around the edges. It's more visually pleasing to the viewer, but I sometimes feel that OnePlus was doing a more accurate job, even if a tad over sharpened, in certain cases both have the versatility of an ultra-wide and neither has a telephoto, but the OnePlus pulls more information out of its primary for the 2x digital crop than the iPhone.

Now night mode is where things start to get interesting. OnePlus recently pushed the software update to the 1 plus 8, and it shows it still favors avoiding grain with the ultra-wide, but it beats the pants out of the iPhone which doesn't even have a night mode in the setting. The iPhone 11 is just completely useless here, but then the tables turn in the primary cameras. Both phones are comparable in detail and avoiding grain, but the iPhones drift to warmer photos makes them more eye pleasing now that added warmth doesn't always play in favor of the iPhone, and this is most evident in portraits where at times, I look far more orange than I really am, and the separation of the subject is sometimes lost. The OnePlus 8 does a better job with the separation, but I'm.

Not a fan of this odd light aura that it creates around subjects. I also noticed some odd and consistencies and Color between the white crop and the regular crop on the iPhone 11, but the latter being more true to life. That said, flip the lights out and try a low-light selfie in wool I never thought the iPhone would perform this bad in the end, I'd call photography more a picture poison, but it's when we get to video that the iPhone will both have the same capabilities from the primary cameras and I can praise OnePlus for its stabilization, but Apple does a far better job at avoiding the more Ray you see in the palm tree, and also that warping Android phones are notorious for the iPhone just seems like more camcorder than a phone, and if we flip cameras, the iPhone wins again, we have a far wider crop, far better dynamic range and hey. This is 4k video, where the 1+8 is washed out, tighten the crop and limit it to 1080p. To conclude, let me start by clarifying that I walked into this comparison.

Thinking that the iPhone 11 would win that sure. I felt that the OnePlus they offered better hardware in a more complete package, but I could just not forgive a phone at this price range for its lackluster camera, as I was testing it a week ago, and obviously, even if this phone is 5g, it's not like if a lot of people really care about it yet think about it. Is its amazing what a software update can do, and I actually received another software update after I took the sample photos that you saw in this video, so there's clearly a lot more testing. To do. I mean the iPhone.11 is wait. It is what it is.

I felt that Apple is going to push any other software update. That'll, add any sort of improvement. We don't already know about until iOS 14 comes to town. The one plus 8 is a different story. It's still being baked, and judging by the OnePlus track, record it'll clearly be getting improvements before and after it reaches stores.

Next week, I know lots of you are diehard Apple fans and for you, the concept of buying a phone is all about being an iPhone, regardless of what it does or doesn't have. I'd even say that if you're planning on doing YouTube videos and are looking for a good camera, alternative I picked the iPhone 11 /, even the Galaxy S 20 ultra any day thing is for absolutely everything else. If I had to pick just one out of these two phones, you just can't deny that the one plus 8 is a better buy. Both of these phones feel like flagship killers, but the differences tip in favor of OnePlus. At the time of this comparison buying a one plus eight almost feels like if you're investing in the future and not the past, let us know which one would you pick in the comments down below is.

This is a tough comparison. Both these phones are priced the same, but they could not be more different while you're at it follow us on social media subscribe to our channel for more videos like this. One also follow me on our personal handles to see me play around with phones as I test them in the real world, while at home. Please give this video a thumbs up. If you like what you saw, I'm, hey mater, even I, think so much for watching we'll see you on the next one.
