OnePlus 8 review

25 April 2020


Sort by:

And people are waiting for OnePlus 8 Z/Light which will be an even worse smartphone.

OnePlus has completely lost their mojo - they no longer care about their roots and only care about their earnings. 8 Pro is their only decent device right now except for the exorbitant price.

Let's hope people will see this and stop buying this overpriced junk. There are much much better SD865 based smartphones out there.

      External amplifier and headphones will give different results according to the equipament used. A $ 40 headphone cant match a $ 200 one.

        LilPhone, 25 Apr 2020It was probably meant to be a successor to the regular OP 7... moreIPhone 11 pro is garbage with Lower resolution, lower refresh rate screen, weak telephoto and Ultrawide cameras, weak fast charging, lacks 5g, lack of expandable storage.
        Besides, iOS can't compete with Android.
        Not spending a dime, let alone 1000 plus Euros for handicapped ecosystem.

          dlads, 25 Apr 2020Recommending an S20+ over a OnePlus 8 ?? You do realise... moreMaybe you need to learn to read properly before calling the site stupid.
          In the US, S20+ runs Snapdragon version and is a much better alternative to OnePlus 8.

            They shot themselves in the foot with the IMX 586 as main cam.
            Even other Chinese budget flagships using IMX 686.

            LG V60 and MI 10 offer much better package than OnePlus 8 at that price. Pro version however is a different story.

                dlads, 25 Apr 2020Lol BS, I have the Pro and it's sitting on 31c, don't talk ... moreCustomers are reporting display and overheating problems. Those are and will be public despite you trying to hide it. Even if official forums try censor them. Sure that you also don't have display problems.. that is a thing of kids... But those kids are also showing them in videos, you blind fan.

                  dlads, 25 Apr 2020Recommending an S20+ over a OnePlus 8 ?? You do realise... morePhones are a lot more than a simple SoC. And those phones from Samsung and other brands are more complete with better cameras and extra hardware features. So unless you are a narrow minded fan. For slot people these phones don't offer enough functionality against how much they cost.

                  Also there are cases reporting overheating phones. That your phone works right doesn't means that other aren't having problems like the display ones also well known. In fact, watching the Google cache, official forums are censoring them but can be found at Reddit and other forums. How many units could be affected is other history. But only few ones are sold already and the problems are there!!! You are not going to silence people and they'll make it public.

                        Recommending an S20+ over a OnePlus 8 ??

                        You do realise what you've just said by saying that right?

                        You've just advised all the users who will be reading this that a Samsung device with the Exynos chipset is a better purchase than the OnePlus 8 ?

                        Just to be clear. The Exynos is an appalling chipset, so please anybody thinking of buying that turd of a device (which is any Samsung with an Exynos chip) do not, you will regret it.

                        What a stupid thing to say in an article

                          Houston to OnePlus: we have more 1000 euros problems!!! Official forums are burning with overheating phones of OnePlus 8 series.

                          OnePlus to Houston: No problem, no problem. We will soon sell them the fixed OnePlus 8T and 8T Pro and costing them only 70 - 150 euros more than their previous phones. Of course they must pay the full price. Never Settle!!!

                          P.S: Calm the forums, let those blind fans know what "nice heaters" they bought for the next winter and have the room warm! Advertise them that the great OnePlus 8T series will be available soon!!!

                            Camera sucks balls, lol. So much for its flagship aspirations. My aging Galaxy S10 shoots better photos than this train wreck.

                              4300mAh should be more than enough to get you through your day, and not too many phones with this type of battery size can Pass 100h with a high refresh rate

                                    Phones are using ddr5 (25% more expensive than ddr4x), better screens, more batteries, better cam hardware. This makes more expensive.
