OnePlus 8 phones get A+ score from DisplayMate, 8 Pro broke 13 records

02 April 2020
No, OnePlus didn't announce its new flagships early - but it did give DisplayMate review units to test.

Sort by:

I hope that the OnePlus 8 hasn't broken the record for the most expensive phone. :-P (for this award is the preserve of the iPharce).

Rather, I am hopeful that one of records achieved is for the performance (or features) per unit currency - in other words, the most valuesome phone ever to be made available. If so, then 'Never settle' is surely most fitting as the company's motto.

    They only need high end camera and wireless charging, Oxygen os is so powerful to take on galaxy s10 with oneplus 5,u will choose op5 3 yr old over s10 in performance and smoothness I'm not even talking about 7 pro, just put camera aside and see the beast rising

        Anonymous, 02 Apr 2020Put many oled hones from xiaomi, motorola, vivo beside XZ2 ... morefunny that you mention those 3 phones that used lcd but have something special with their display....

        xz2 premium - sharper than most of the flagship that use oled on the market.
        lg g7 - brighter than most lcd and on par with some oled display
        iphone 8+ - have a very accurate color calibration and better than oled.

        one of the reason why oem start using oled on their flagships because they want to use under the display fingerprint and hole punch camera without having a light bleed.. BUT it does not mean lcd is bad display.. lcd can still produce accurate color better than oled ...except black..

                Anonymous, 02 Apr 2020They do not test phones from LG, Sony , Huawei nor Sharp. As far as I know, they do test Huawei phone and they praise their camera. They don't post anything about display because BOE panel doesn't earn anything remarkable lol.

                          Anonymous, 02 Apr 2020LG g7 doesn't even have an OLED display.But provides better image than many phones with oled. That is the point.
                          Well calibrated high end LCD can do as well as oled.

                          LG ismthemonly brands that uses oled for their flagship TVs.
                          What a coincidence.

                                      Or the 10bit 4K LCD from LG that can wipe the floor with oled used by samsung phones.

                                      :)

                                        The problem is, they gonna have curved displays which are unnecessary and rubbish. Any smartphone with curved display is rubbish.
