A killer flagship

OnePlus has build up a strong reputation, and the smartphone models have grown over the years through community feedback and market demands. The OnePlus 8 Pro is not priced for the masses, but neither is it overpriced.

The OnePlus 8 Pro finally delivers the full package, and at a price that undercuts the latest crop of 2020 flagships.

Amazingly bright display; 120Hz at QHD+ Resolution; Great battery life; Fast wired & wireless charging; Finally a good camera at launch; Oxygen OS is still the best Android Skin; Official IP68 water resistance rating

Priced like a flagship; 5G compatibility is not great

The OnePlus 8 Pro is the result of a relentless spec battle with Samsung. It’s an Android phone that spares almost no expense in the quest to include the most powerful, best hardware components. The result is the fastest Android phone experience money can buy — starting at $899.

Astonishing 120Hz; QHD+; HDR10+ screen; Rapid internal hardware; Next-gen 5G connectivity; Impressive benchmark scores; IP68 water and dust proof; Buttery smooth Oxygen OS 10.5; Stylish design with great ergonomics; Battery that goes the distance

Camera system; while good; is beaten elsewhere

I wish it was smaller; ditched the curved screen and was a little more comfortable to hold. But this still remains a great, big Android phone.

Great screen; Seriously powerful; Improved cameras; Finally has wireless charging;

Large size and overly curved screen make it uncomfortable to hold and use without a case; Colour filter camera is utterly pointless;

Insanely great display with all the trimmings; Wireless charging and IP-rated water resistance arrive.; Gorgeous design that rivals Samsung's best;

Price tops off at a thousand bucks; 5G isn't ready for prime time.; Camera pales in comparison to the Google Pixel 4's;

The OnePlus 8 Pro might not be the outright bargain we've come to expect from the brand, but for your £900 you get the best all-round phone for Android gamers on the market, with a phenomenal 120Hz screen and top-drawer performance.

A smartphone powerhouse, the OnePlus 8 Pro is a strong challenger to even the most premium of flagships....
