Cee0114, 24 Sep 2020need help. which one is better? 7t Pro or 8 non-pro?The only advantage really of the 7t pro over the 8 is the screen has no punchole. The 8 has the Snapdragon 865 over the 855+ which is definitely performing better in every way possible. If you want a gaming phone go and buy a proper gaming phone with all the cooling they provide as the 855+ will heat up more than the 865 . The OnePlus 8t is there if you don't want a curved display plus it has 120hz screen over 90hz. I've used higher resolution displays than the one in the one plus 8 but seriously this is the best screen I've ever used. The narrow display makes the phone awesome to handle and most video players zoom out into the curves meaning no black bars at all... really makes the display pop. This is my first curved phone and if anything it's the easiest handling phone I've ever had. Its light for its size. Gaming performance is outstanding..it barely gets warm. Wi-fi connectivity great , 5g could be better but that might be my network. Volte is supported . Battery could be better on standby ( uses about 10% battery overnight) but everything else including high performance gaming is excellent for battery. Speakers are Very loud with bass that astonishes for a phone. Headphones performance is above average but no audiophile device..my HTC 10 was the best sounding phone in headphones..in comparison the vocals get a little washed out on OP8. One thing I can say is don't upgrade to android 11 if you rely on Bluetooth as it's got bugs..gamepads don't work properly and audio equipment has glitches ..this has been reported on many android 11 devices not just OnePlus..even googles own pixels suffer with these bugs. Android 10 is excellent and very stable plus there's instructions how to downgrade to android 10 from 11 ..I did it without a pc and no rooting it was that easy. Maybe the price hike on the OP8 has something to do with OnePlus working with Samsung on the screens. If you've got the money get the 8 pro if you haven't I'd say get the 8T unless you want a curved display but remember the OP8 has 90hz while the 8T and 8Pro have 120hz. The 90hz screen is smooth as butter still. I can't really recommend the 7series as it's using an older processor and isn't as comfortable to hold. One more thing don't get the karbon bumper as it's more slippery than the phone itself.

      Just got a brand new OP8. All i can say is 'simply amazing'. The battery life, display quality, sound, back cover, mobile weight, comfort, software, gaming, browsing, etc.....i can keep on going. The camera is good aswell, Only downside i could find was that camera zoom was not that clear. Except for that everything was Awesome!

      I am glad I made the right choice.

                          I hate the one plus 8 5g. I have to recharge every 4-5 hours. Nothing special about it - no special features. Had to delete multiple apps to avoid battery drain. Why have a phone if you can't have apps? I had a moto basic last phone which had assume unique features and the battery lasted two days. One plus cost $500 more. Sorry I purchased it. Don't waste your money.

                            I bought new OnePlus 8 from Oman on 29th Aug 2020 and is not satisfied with the phone's battery.

                            Example at night before I head to sleep phone battery % is at 80, when I wake up in the morning battery % will be at 70!! . No background apps,WiFi,Bluetooth,NFC,GPS were working but still phone drained 10%. I use dark theme,refresh rate kept at 60Hz and did everything possible by watching tips and tricks and unboxing videos of OnePlus 8 from Youtube.At 8AM if my charge is 80%, by 1PM it will be between 40-50%; in this meantime I use mobile data and no other network. Apps I use are Gmail and watsapp only.
