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.

A killer flagship

The OnePlus 8 Pro is a proper flagship phone. No more cutting corners. No more 'flagship killer' underdog mantra. OnePlus is now officially mixing it with the biggest names in mobile.

One of the best displays around; 5G and plenty of power; Reverse & fast wireless charging

Most expensive OnePlus yet; Sizable rear camera bump; Less storage base model vs 7T Pro

The OnePlus 8 pro isn't just another OnePlus phone with high specs and a low price—it's a bona fide premium Android handset, with a price to match.

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

Futuremark's PCMark for Android Work 2.0 Battery test takes workloads from the benchmark itself (image and video editing, email and web browsing) and scripts them in a loop that runs until battery levels drop below 20 percent.

From waterproofing to wireless charging, the OnePlus 8 Pro is a flagship through and through - and does more than enough to earn its top-end price

But taken as a package, we can’t think of a flagship Android phone that covers as many bases as the OnePlus 8 Pro. It’s a major contender for the best flagship phone on the market.

Smooth and sharp 120Hz QHD display; Speedy all round; Great camera

Large and unwieldy; Curved display poses problems; Battery life just OK

The OnePlus 8 Pro has some big shoes to fill, following-up on the success of last year's 7 Pro. At $230 more, though, it's hard to call it a successor — the days of flagship "killing" are done now that OnePlus phones can cost over $900.

Screen Super smooth, bright, and high resolution; Performance This phone screams; Camera Detail improvements, can take great photos sometimes; Software OxygenOS remains one of the best Android skins; Speakers Actually sound quite good (for phone speakers).

Curved edges "Waterfall" curved screens bother some people. They make it easier to hold, but accidental touches are a problem, and there is off-angle color shift and glare; Size A curved screen helps, but this is a bigger phone, and you can't just choose based on size — the smaller model is missing...

The 8 Pro shows OnePlus is no longer the underdog significantly undercutting the big boys on price. Instead it has filled the cost-cutting gaps with features that truly rival the best from others.
