Anonymous, 21 Oct 2020And I'm here deciding whether to upgrade from Oneplus ... moreWhen the 9 series will come they'll start talking about 9t and 9t pro and when they will come they'll talk about 10 series. Its just a matter of requirement. I would say wait till 9 comes out because 8pro prices might go down as 8 and 8t are not even close to 8pro. And getting a 5g chipset is the only major upgrade you'll want in the coming time as Jio is working fast on it!

Yet another huuuge disappointment, oneplus is going down hard in 2020. This would have been an ok-ish phone, priced at the usual 550, but at 700 euros its just pathetic.
For such a premium price, we would ask for IP rating, Ddr5, better cameras and display etc.
It's embarrassing for them to be so greedy and try to make a fast profit in 2020 to balance all the value they had in the previous years.
Let's take the pocophone F2 for example, for nearly half the price it's a far superior device, a apart from the gimmick 120hz which is practically disabled since you can't use it on films and games...

c0nm4n, 21 Oct 2020Yes, at this price you will have 1 or 2 trade-offs, as I me... moreI understand that iphone has the best security feature.. like you said it's all about trade offs for the display that you get... iPhone year on year comes with some new discoveries which might have been a feature in other phones since a long time....I assume that iphone will next bring 90 hz in the iphone 13 version saying it's something new or hitherto not seen in any smartphones!!!

The US T-Mobile version does not have AOD. I repeat. No AOD for T-Mobile 8T. And they can't tell you if it's ever coming. The software feels like One UI. Just get the S20 FE. Or Pixel 5 if you want stock Android. Oxygen OS is no longer the happy medium.

I was soooo excited to get this phone. My OP5T is still not bad, but...
OnePlus is no longer true "flagship killer". I wish they kept their old scheme:
Regular phone in the beginning of the year and "T" variant by the end of the year. If it was $100 less it would be a steal here in the US. A lot of trade-offs to consider. After 9 years of Android, I am seriously considering iPhone 12 Pro, or I'll just wait for OP9 Pro.

"But here is something that few, if any, of the OnePlus competitors do - lossless 2x digital zoom. It is done exactly how we've mentioned numerous times in previous reviews it should be done - by cropping the center of the (enhanced) high-res output. In the case of the 8T, that's the 12MP center of the (multi-stacked) 48MP output from the sensor."
"The 48MP photos have the same quality as the 2x zoomed ones - they are just not cropped."
Isn't this just Honor View 20's AI Ultra Clarity 48MP mode back in 2018? Unfortunately though, detail wise the results look far worse on OnePlus 8T, probably due to poor sharpness uniformity of the lens.

Most likely will try out an Android 11 ROM and if everything goes well I'll wait for 9. Especially with the potential early release (March 2021).

Android user, 21 Oct 2020You gotta be kidding...this is an 6.6 inch1080p OLED displa... moreYes, at this price you will have 1 or 2 trade-offs, as I mentioned. I don't see the screen as a big deal (maybe the cut-outs, but I've played with an iPhone and they're nicely incorporated in the software). 120Hz displays with HDR are just marketing gimmicks for me. I actually have a Samsung, the display is good (I wouldn't say much better than the iPhone I played with), but the phone size bothers me.
If you really care about the screen, at the same price there's the Galaxy S20FE mentioned in the review, although I have to say I am displeased with Samsung's Android customizations and their slow updates.
In the end, it's all about what trade-offs you want to make, there's no one-size-fits-all, even for the high-end phones.

After the launch of one plus 8 they got really confused with new launches. 8T was launched in haste and won't really make any difference between it's predecessor. One plus 8 is really superb phone with average camera and same goes for 8T.
Instead of launching they could have invested heavily in marketing one plus 9 if it's going to be launched in next 4 months.

Phone for Bears, that was a good one, I agree. Anyway, in my eyes in this class S20 FE is the winner.
