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.

Excellent build quality; Superb screen; Speedy wireless charging

Only available in one size: huge; Color camera is a pointless gimmick; Below-average dim-light photography

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;

OnePlus has brought a number of key enhancements to the 8 Pro. The lovely design of the top-end 12GB/256GB model with its matte-green back, the 120Hz screen, IP68 rating, fast wired and wireless charging, in-screen front camera, Wi-Fi 6 and 5G all signify a serious 2020 flagship phone.

High-quality industrial design; Top-end Snapdragon 865 chipset; 120Hz screen refresh rate; Fast wired and wireless charging; IP68 dust/water resistance; Alert slider on right edge; In-screen front camera rather than pop-up

Odd colour filter camera; Wireless charging in portrait mode only

The OnePlus 8 Pro is a f*cking great phone. You will pay a price for it that you might not be used to for OnePlus phones, but the company is now producing phones without any of the catches of old. The camera has caught up. The wireless charging is faster than everyone else’s.

The OnePlus 8 Pro is the higher variant of the standard OnePlus 8 . The major difference between the two is that the Pro version has a larger display, of course has a bigger battery with wireless charger and provide more camera fun than the standard version, aside which other things remain same.

The OnePlus 8 Pro improves on its predecessor in most ways and still undercuts the competition on price

120Hz display is so smooth; An IP68 rating at last; Very good battery life

HDR playback behaves weirdly; Nothing else

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

Today we’re taking a peek at the OnePlus 8 Pro, one of two devices released by OnePlus in the “OnePlus 8 family” of devices as of April of 2020. This device comes in several colors, including Onyx Black, Glacial Green, and the one we’ve got here: Ultramarine Blue.

Bright; sharp; colorful display; Display 120Hz image refresh rate; Fast Wireless Charging / Reverse Wireless Charging; Simple software with great potential for advanced users; Cameras capture great photos in most conditions

Punch hole is pro for some; con for others; No 3.5mm headphone jack; Not available directly from some carriers in USA

The OnePlus 8 Pro is a great smartphone and is still relatively cheap, considering the features that it offers and compared with other modern flagships. Nevertheless, OnePlus has almost reached the US$1,000 mark, making the OnePlus 8 Pro a low-priced high-end smartphone with excellent features...

bright and precisely calibrated 120 Hz display; smooth touchscreen; stylish and sturdy design; plenty of performance; good battery life; flexible camera system; fast memory; no throttling; precise GPS; many LTE bands; IP certification; fast-charging technology

average call quality; high temperatures under load; only a USB 2.0 cable included; no mmWave 5G; no VHT160 with Wi-Fi 6

What an interesting pair of smartphones to come out of OnePlus. The OnePlus 8 series represents both sides of the same coin that is OnePlus: both the flagship killer and the flagship it sought to kill. So, which OnePlus should you get? The OnePlus 8 Pro or the OnePlus 8?
