OnePlus 8T review: numbers game
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 окт 2024
- The OnePlus 8T is better specced in almost every way than the OnePlus 8 it succeeds from earlier this year. It’s got quicker 65W fast charging, a higher 120Hz refresh rate display, a bigger 4,500mAh battery, and an extra camera.

For those wondering, the model I was using with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage costs £549 in the UK, but OnePlus says it won't be sold in the US. - Jon
Well Pixel has my money then. Your loss OnePlus
@@Godzilladad the 8t has the 12gb of ram with 256gb storage in the us tho, for just $749
That is so much money yikes. It starts around 586usd/450 pounds here.
Sidenote, we can also get a 7t pro for the same price, so I don't know how many people are gonna spend that much on it since it's still a lot of money.
Well I'm confused between 8 and 8T help me out
@@miloslimenguyen2572 I might go for it then. Since it’s only 50$ more in the US than the Pixel
I was wishing for Deiter but this guy doesn't dissapoint as well. Hopefully Verge will keep this guy for reviewing more phones.
Same, but I still prefer dieter
I'm actually happy it's someone other than Dieter, for once
I think its Dieter
*Deetre
poor "this guy".
The verge has kept this guy for specifically reviewing OnePlus devices ..,. And he’s doing a good job he should do more reviews
I like this guy, can we have more of him?
Thanks.
*choo choo*
We like Jon.
I know it’s not the point but it’s nice when the verge (pretend) to recognise the UK read/watch too.
Viewer and reader from the UK here! Really weird seeing the US plug (for US audiences) when he was filming and taking shots around London (Shoreditch at a guess).
Lewis Tullett he used a chemex. It was definitely Shoreditch 😂😂
Well done hipster clark kent. Keep it up :D
I would have bought the phone if it had 69 W fast charging.
Dang !!! They came soo close
Naughty 😒
And 6 cameras !
My requirements are we more I want at least 163 cameras & charging my phone in at least 0.001 seconds
Nice
That monochrome sensor is so strange. I would rather they spent the time and money integrating that, spent on getting wireless charging working instead.
Yeah, feels like they just added it for the sake of marketing and to say they have it.
@@anthonyt425 wireless charging could have been better for marketing
I would rather they actually focused on adding a better main senso than the monochrome or wireless charging (which I think is pointless. Unless it's like 2030 or something).
I just can't stand the gimmicky cameras added just to make it a "quad camera". Honestly, it just makes the brand seem cheap. Will be replacing my 5T with a Pixel 5.
Get a iPhone 12
@@ultraism5818 an*
Get gud gramer
@@ultraism5818 I mean iphone 12 is good and all but why choose that when there are so damn many other better options compared to iphone 12 with 90hz/120hz screen which is super smooth which i find iphones stutters a lot because of 60hz, ultra fast charging too, imagine having to charge your phone more than 2 hours, that's quite pathetic.
@Onouphrios Not everywhere has huge black friday deals you know...
Agreed
The whistlely guy in the background sound freaked me out 😂
I looked around to see who was in the room with me. 😂
Same😂😂
Lmao
Same here. "Who the hells that".
I really miss the bare essentials flagship era of OnePlus. The Nord is fine and all but it doesn't hit the same marks the first OnePlus phones did.
undercoverduck true, OnePlus is going all downhill now. I mean, they've started copying design too. How desperate is that ffs.
I reckon the new bare essentials flagship is now the pixel 4a!
I think they are still better than Samsung and Apple 😂
I wonder if that's why one of the two founders just left?
Ugh, I'd rather buy a non-high-refresh screen $700 small phone with 64GB storage that comes with no accessories,
said no rational buyer ever.
That first half is exactly what casuals wanted
@acute angle disappointed in OnePlus because it has a higher refresh rate, charges faster and has an adapter in the box compared to the iPhone Mini's good camera? Cuz same.
Given that nobody is really going anywhere at the moment, I have to wonder how many people actually want/need flagship phones. I'm not sure I need 4 cameras and portrait mode video when I'm always at home. And I'm not sure I need to spend 700+ $/£ on a phone when I've got nobody to show off how cool I am too.
This is the exact reason I'm holding on to my LG V20. I was looking to upgrade because it struggled to keep up when I'm trying to call an Uber while checking restaurant times while texting multiple people while checking weather or trying to load a mobile boarding pass, etc. But for the past few months that's all been a moot point so I can hold on a bit longer
@Lloyde Turner do u feel good u told everyone?
You buy phones to show off people how cool you are? I feel sad for u
Man this guy is good!!!
Bokeh video looked pretty good. Only thing here that got my attention.
Superb Review!!! Porter is now my new favorite on "The Verge" alongside Dieter ❤
If the iPhone got the specs the 8T has for the same price you guys would be losing your minds! But since it's not a traditional flagship, you try to belittle the accomplishments One Plus has done.
The hipster levels are high on this one!
Lmaooo
You charge your phone overnight? You realise that it's a fire hazard, right? I would never ever do that. Also, the fact that it charges so fast makes it pointless to charge overnight. It's already so damn fast that you don't need a lot of time to charge it anyway.
I just like to charge my phone overnight? Cmmon there's people working tirelessly to push these technologies and we greet them with such nonchalant responses. I can understand someone saying something like" I would prefer not having the feature if it reduces the cost of the device" but this..lol
Better than an iPhone 12 by a mile.
@Tech UniverseTV Uhh... yes it is.
If they want to sell using big numbers thay can start with this: 1!! headphone jack instead of 0.
i dont think you even get the point of 8T . It's supposed to come in between 8 and 8 pro , so why the hell you kept on comparing it with 8pro.
One plus 8T is a good upgrade over 8, for those who don't want curve screen.
The problem for OnePlus, especially in the US, is if people have any common sense they can pick up an S20 for less. OnePlus are good at marketing and fooling people.
@@saturn93starx17 for those who are tired of samsung, n wants to try something new 1+ is for them.
Also the world is not confined to US only. In india 8T is cheaper than S20 FE , also outside US, S20 FE comes with exynos. Hence it's no brainer to get 8T outside US
Dude I legit just finished watching the release live.
Hey Jon, This was such a great review and your camera presence and presentation was just delightful. You might have just outdone Deiter 😂 Well done
Wireless charging is important to youtuber tech reviewers... I have an s20+ and in thinking of getting this phone, I might just get the 7 pro
What’s wrong with your s20?
The Verge hires the best and Porter is one of my favorites.
These days phones are becoming like Naaptol phones ,so naaptol is a futuristic company by all means
What's naaptol I've never heard of them are they a phone company?
7:28 okay, i hope there's a reason behind this shot
Having your phone plugged in overnight is detrimental to the longevity of the battery.
So is charging it up to 100%
Those are bad habits to promote the Verge.
Fortunately the OP8t has a battery charging optimization mode where it stops at 90% over night and resume 1 minute before you wake up
Is OnePlus looking like Realme or Realme Copying OnePlus 🙄
All of them are so visible to be under one (Oppo) umbrella now.
Sister company bbk electronics
So 70% of this video is about the cameras. The 8T is a solid phone as you'd expect from OnePlus but don't expect it to perform like a Pixel in the camera department
@Onouphrios well, most reviewers still praise Pixel's camera performance and looking at comparisons between various flagship phones, I kind of prefer it as well. Anyway, I just wanted to say that a phone is more than just a camera and the 8T delivers a top-tier performances even though the camera isn't as good as one of the best available. The 8T is still an excellent phone.
“Reality can be disappointing.” - Dr.Thanos
Overnight will kill your battery, and filling it to 80% will prolong battery life. I charge in the morning. Plug the phone in, feed the cats, etc. Takes about 15-30 mins on a OnePlus 7t
with my OP7 (20w) charging in the morning is fast enough, why degrade the battery faster by charging it overnight?
I find wireless charging to be really over rated. Just my opinion after having a pixel stand for my pixel. I kind of hate it, but it could be just the experience with the pixel 4xl and the stand.
That's gonna be a good alternative for the new iPhone 12 mini .
Ahhh, the British guy is back 😃 Please do more videos... the last videos with Dieter were really boring
Correction: 120 watts fast charge is the fastest one you could find rn.
No one buys OnePlus for the camera. We always buy for the hardware and software value offering. Numbers don't lie. We love great specs at a great price.
This. It has great hardware/software at a decent price. This is catered exactly to it's core audience.
You like your phone charged overnight? Give me a break. Not going to watch your review any more. Too negative. But this, but that..!!
I think the main reason I keep coming back to the verge is because all the reviewers are really attractive
i- sis honestly same tbh in addition to their good reviews 😭
But it's proven that the fast charging is not good for the health of the battery in long run
Been fast charging my Oneplus 6 for 2.5 years. I haven't noticed any battery degradation (not any more than I would normally get with any device). It's far more important that you don't constantly charge the battery full. 40%-80% is quite optimal range, with fast charging it's quite easy to top up the phone quickly to keep it at those levels.
I actually ended up degrading the battery on my old Sony Xperia device once, because it came with a convenient charging cradle and I kept it at 100% charge very often. After just 2 years the battery life had become absolutely terrible.
@@PhazonBlaxor I know, I've been using my 6t for 2 years and the battery works great. What it's different with this kind of charging against the others it's that they kept the heat in the brick not in the battery itself.
The new 8T has two batteries and charges each with 30 ish watts each for the 65 watts. It's not bad for the batteries health in a noticable way till 3 years +.
Replace it when it's life it over.
@@shanewillbur1325 don't worry about that but I'm still using a galaxy S6 edge! 😂
no disrespect but this guy has nothing to do with tech, just regurgitating the same words from other channels
7:28 is it just me, or..
i- periodt !! 😭
You need some holy water lol
I will stick with my 7t pro mclaren edition
Try doing something IR related, like point at a remote for example with the mono chrome sensor on vs. off and instantly you'll notice a difference.
Hold up....
So there's a One Plus 8
A One Plus 8 Pro
And ALSO a One Plus 8T?
And also a Nord.....?
8T is the newest model, oneplus releases two flagship phones each year and the 8 (and 8 pro) was released earlier this year. NORD is just their budget offering
@@Hans.Dewitt
Hehehehehehe
I know, mate. I used the 1+ 7Pro most of last year
I was just making a douchey observation
Their phone catalogue has really blown up though lately, eh?
I guess it's hard out Samsuming Samsung unless you play at their game
Even Apple dropped a truck load of new iPhones this year and THEY are traditionally considered to be above the "flood the market with product" tactic
2:52 Nope. You can get 120w Fast Charging from Xiaomi "Mi 10 Ultra”. Although you can argue it’s not sold in the US, but the fact is not true.
Should I upgrade to this phone if Im using 3T?😅
Apple: no charger
Oneplus: charger free no extra charge
😂👀☕️🐸
Of course it's not free. You are still paying for it. It's embedded in the price you paid for the phone.
Why are you so desperate to include wireless charging when you can just plug it in for 20 minutes. Is the need so big? You can use your phone while plugged in but now when wireless charging...
I think the premise is that for a Flagship phone in 2020 wireless charging is expected so it's omission is odd. That being said I personally agree with you, with wired charging this fast wireless charging is not that necessary imo.
@Tech UniverseTV You had a phone with 65 watts fast charging a while ago? Wireless charging takes forever. The bigger sell is reverse wireless charging for accessories.
I realise this indicates slower charging, but a fantastic slogan for the fast charging would be,
"A days power in half an hour"
Hey at first i was mad dieter is not on display in this video but this guy is not bad 👍
No wireless charging
because it's slow
and the 5 people that use it barely use it
and if you have a case it barely works
If it keeps the cost down lose the wireless charging and keep the reverse wireless charging
6:55 I'm able to see a noticeable difference between the photos. The left one actually looks pretty awesome, especially the light given off by the lamp. It's well controlled. I probably wouldn't use it often either but it's a neat party trick and there may be some people on IG interested in it.
Electronic Tech is nothing but just increase in number from the previous one. Else what do you want?
There are plenty of Xiaomi, Oppo, and Vivo phones with top of the line specifications (numbers), but they don't sell as well as the Samsung, OnePlus, or even Apple phones. Why? Optimization. Having the best specifications isn't, and never was good enough. It's what you do with those specifications that matters.
Do what I do...give them 5-6 month, OnePlus always starts dropping the prices and offering deals. Then, you end up getting this thing for about 60% of the cost new and the technology of any other phone isn't better. Never been a bandwagoner personally. But I switched to an XS Max with the last jailbreak for IOS, and I really have learned to hate Apple once again quickly and their terrible ecosystem and poor apps compared to their Android versions...plus, simple things like organizing icons, or customization the launcher etc..widgets blah blah...I will take a slightly less camera, which I don't care about, and a much faster charger and better display over any iPhone. At half the price in a few months. Great news, my XS Max will still be absurdly valuable for some unknown reason an probably almost pay for the new OP8T!
I don't know who does the editing/b roll on these videos the camera quality is all so professional been watching this channel for years it's amazing great work guys
Great review!! Finally someone is telling the truth about OnePlus
Personally, i do not care about wireless charging cos i use the sony WH1000mx3 which cannot be wirelessly charged; . 65W means i can afford i leave my laptop charger at home. I do not care about IP rating even if it was included. I would have hoped for a headphone jack with improved audio. mmwave is not a prioty but for CDMA customers, it is a must. wifi6 is great and 4G is good enough to get me through the day. Camera is not so special but can be improved with software updates; i care about performance and battery life and it delivers. software is close to stock which is acceptable.
12gb of ram on a phone... Who ever though Android would out-bloat widows
Another tech influencer complaining about a phone that can charge up to full in 40 minutes not having wireless charging...
As for the monochrome sensor, it's there to help you take better night time videos and pictures. I think that's a pretty handy addition to the camera module and I hope Oneplus keeps it in future.
Why everybody is reviewing the reviewer, is anybody gonna talk about the actual review, Like what are your thoughts about the device?
Wait, how is the point of super-fast charging for nightly charging? Surely the whole point is charging during the day, when out and about, on those days when you kill the phone before the end. A quick burst on a train for example - or in a cafe?
Verge is one of the valuable youtube channels to get technology review. Well they are playing number games since t series n pro model launch ups. Please do say clearly it is useless too spend this many dollars for such a cheap product. I mean they are increasing price of the phone like that actually costs them so much but they are playing with numbers for grabbing higher price for the real first model pricing. Please let lights be on the reason for so many phones from oneplus. Take them down to see their real filthy number games
Spec king for its price?
65w not worth it, just 20min less compare to 30w and not much different for 90hz screen compare to 120hz, i would rather cut down some cost to get oneplus nord or pay extra for oneplus 8 pro
Damn. Kudos to the excellent reviewer. Feels like a friend telling you about the phone.
That's some choppy video i've ever deen
24fps
When people say the jump to 120hz isn't as noticeable as the jump to 90hz it just shows how disconnected the reviewers are. A small percentage of people have a 90hz phone. A bigger percent just got 120hz with the Galaxy phones and now this phone. Us in the tech world play with new gadgets all the time but that doesn't represent the real world. When ever I talk about high refresh rate people who are into tech dont know what I'm talking about or don't know the difference and have it turned off just like how they keep it at 1080p instead of 1440p.
You can with the cable which is in the box charge other device faster than wireless charging and you can keep on using both of them, so what is your point ?
All set to buy but no SD card slot is a no no for me.
To be fair that's not a surprise (or shouldn't be) as Oneplus has never had that feature set.
$750 ...NO IP RATING...SUB PAR CAMERAS...NO WIRELESS CHARGING ...GETS HOT CHARGING AND GAMING
please do not charge your phone over night. it will hurt your battery.
i charge my phone every morning with only 20 W charging and its totally finde. 3,5 years later with the phone and I dont have any battery issues unlike other people who charge their phones over night. those people tend to have battery problem 1 year after purchase. so stop charging over night if you dont have some battery modes which will prevent the phone to stay at 100% for 6 hours straight
I can definitely feel the difference going from my 90hz 7t to my s20 fe 120hz.
English Dieter everyone!!! Choo choo!!!
Watching this on my 8GB laptop 60Hz
High five 🔥
The best OnePlus phone to buy in 2020 is the OnePlus 7T Pro
I have Dash charging on my OnePlus 5. I never charge it overnight now, absolutely no need to do so. And this new warp charger, will be no different. One of my favourite things about OnePlus phones.
Me too, I have OP6 with the same 20 watt charger and I never charge overnight. OP8T charger outputs over 3x the wattage. I still think OP6 charges fast, but this is on a whole another level. I preordered the 256GB variant today.
I'm still thinking if I should cancel the order and wait for OP9 instead though, knowing that the new 5nm SD875 is here soon.
@@PhazonBlaxor I think you should wait(5nm = more efficiently...
@@chenlevy3773 Yeah I arrived at the same conclusion and canceled the preorder. Not in any hurry to upgrade so I'll wait. The OP9 is probably finally getting a new camera sensor as well. 8T is still using the same one as OP7.
Nice bro ❤❤👍👍👍🇵🇰🇵🇰
The 8 pro is the phone we all want but at the 8t price
I could actually tell the difference between the Monochrome sensor picture and the Monochrome filter. The one using the monochrome sensor is ever so slightly more dramatic with a better dynamic range, the blacks more accentuated (check the columns of the bed), and the color temperature is warmer. I don't know if this is something a filter can do, but I just like it more and I appreciate the presence of that sensor.
I had a Huawei P10 previously, which had a monochrome sensor, and I recall a very large percentage of the photos I took with this phone was with the monochrome sensor. I loved it!
A phone should be about performance and productivity not about cameras! LOL.
So it boil downs to iPhone 12 Vs OnePlus in this price segment. Because pixel despite having best cameras it has only 765g
Can't believe the price! Google and Samsung and Sony are you watching?
Most stupid and waste phone i ever brought one plus 8t pathetic front camera.
Is there any rainbowing effect in the 8t?
Did this just make the OP 8 useless?
As the T models always do for OnePlus, yes.
Hope to see more reviews from you Bro!
For the price, that’s a lot of phone for your money. Especially compared to iPhones. Not sure it’s enough to make me switch from an iPhone though. Is the new iPhone 12 (non pro) worth the premium over this phone ? I thinks its about £849 for 128GB. Or £799 for 64GB.
I'm tempted with this one. Still running OnePlus 5 so it will be a massive step up for me. I'm hoping to see some reviews of this against the 8 Pro as Amazon prime day is offering it for £649. Is the extra £100 worth it? Mostly use for videos and the OnePlus 5 is still holding up well on that front
This and the oppo find X2 pro and the pixel 5 are my favourite phones
OnePlus 8T is good but the price is high in my opinion. I would prefer to get Galaxy S20 FE
i aint so sure in the uk the fe 5g is £150 more (4g has the exynos)
Base model 8T is cheap. Not available in the us. The 256 gb version has more ram than the FE.
I'm upgrading to OnePlus 8t from OnePlus 2.. Hope I feel the change 😶
Yes dude.. You'll surely feel the change
Thanks
What about water proofing
The gratuitous coffee pouring shot. !!! What’s up with you new yorkers??? Do something original man !!!
What's the deal with those "premium" curved screen displays? So, iPhone and Xperia 1 ii displays doesn't feel premium?
Considering all the features provided is it a crime if I still buy the iphone 11 which is in a deal please help me choose smh
One plus battery life are a delight in the starting days but they detoriate after a year of use. Otherwise they make smooth phones 👍
I bought one plus 8 T and planning to change it to one plus 8 only because of curved display in in one plus 8 is good decision or not??
