Just orderd a oneplus 8 pro 128gb. I think it has the better value because of the ips rating, 120hz display and the better ram. You said ram was equal but it isn't, the 8 pro has ddr5 vs the ddr4 ram in the normal version. This makes a pro version much more future proof imo. I try to do 3 years with a phone. Liked the video keep it up.
@eric t it's his initials MKB with HD as in Hi-def. He covered it in a video a year or two ago. It was just what he came up with when he was younger and he stuck with it.
The best reviewer hands down. Mentioned every spec of the phone without beign repetitive and compared everything with other flagshipsin a good way. Awesome💯
OnePlus has played it very smart and they've achieved what they wanted. They priced low at the start with great specs and then started boosting the price each year. They've built the same kind of fanbase that Apple and Samsung have in a relatively short amount of time in comparison. They can now charge flagship prices because they know they have that fanbase that will buy and promote them no matter what.
I currently have the 7 Pro and have ordered the 8 Pro. I love Oxygen OS and use my phone for business and pleasure and do a lot of spreadsheets, word processing, watching videos as well as the odd game of COD Mobile. Hence, I like to replace them every year and, for me, OnePlus always hits the sweet spot. I have never been into Apple products because they all look and feel the same. For me, the open nature and the ability to customise Android is important and I always go for a powerful model. I have never liked the Samsung OS, although I did try a Note 9 but only kept it for six months before buying the 7 Pro (I just did not like the OS and the S Pen hardly ever came out after the initial novelty value). I have tried the Huawei Mate products (I had the Mate 10 Pro) but have since ruled them out because of the issues with the lack of Google services. Therefore, for me, OnePlus is my goto brand and I have never been disappointed.
I'm the other way around. I love oxygen os customisation and simplicity. My last was oneplus 5. But i've been using note series since note 2 until note 10+. My collection of notes over the years is too many and i can't live without s pen. So samsung note series is my go to since no other phone can compete with stylus (moto g stylus announce recently just so weak compare to note 10+). Looking forward for note 20 series.
Finally coming closer to the 1Million Subscriber mark... I have been a long time subscriber And its been quite sometime but things have changed for the better...
same here. Still using my 3T but need to upgrade this year. The battery life in my 3t has gone way down. If the 8pro was just $100 less, it would have been a no brainer. But with its current price tag, I don't know.
have a oneplus 3. the fact that ive been using my 3 for so long is why im likely to buy another oneplus. love the OS, and no other (or not many other flagship) phone has a physical slider to switch into silent mode. At the same time, i bought my oneplus 3 for only 350 USD back then...getting the 8 pro will be huge jump.
Im exactly like you guys... I have my 3t but battery is starting to grow short although it has been working fine even with broken screen for a year. I have the opportunity of buying it for 700 second handed like New. Should i buy it?
Ordered my 8 Pro a few days ago, got that Ultramarine Blue coming, it's crazy how none of the stores here in the USA sell the 8 Pro in-store, only the 8 and 8t are what T-mobile seems to be pushing around here even though the Pro is far superior with one of the most impressive handset displays on the planet, had to order from Oneplus directly, can't wait 😁 thank you for such a thoughtful and thorough review, I'm stoked
Same here. Never had problems with my 7pro and love this phone. Disappointed that the plus 8 looks like the 7 with the only difference outside is the camera placements
Reviews are all over the place in the camera department. They range from being better than the s20 to decent. But they all agree the telephoto lens is below average .
Hands down the best Android phone. It got the very buttery-smooth 120hz display, fast charging, good cameras, IP68 rating water resistance, big battery and most importantly, the very bright screen. Way better than the S20+.
New subscriber here! Really enjoyed and appreciated the depth of your review on both the 8 and 8 pro. Personally, I have always loved OnePlus but had not owned one of their devices since the OG OnePlus one. After the 7pro and 7t being so highly rated and reviewed, I knew my switch from my Pixel 2 XL would be to a OnePlus device. The 8 pro was exactly what I was looking for, flagship specs, features, and camera for under $1k USD. I was able to snag a launch day bundle with the ultramarine blue 12/256 GB 8pro and am anxiously awaiting delivery. For me, I loved my experience with the original flagship killer and was more than willing to pay what is, to me, a totally reasonable price for the first true OnePlus flagship.
I preordered my OP8 pro in black, Im excited to see a 120Hz screen as well as using the camera, I would use the colour filter to be more interesting with pictures, I will eventually get the wireless charger for it but I usually charge it wirelessly overnight. With regards to pricing I can understand why they have priced it higher than usual as they want to compete with the big dogs, but one thing that OP should do is compromise to get more people to have a OP phone, Apple have done it and its been successful
Not gonna lie. It's funny how companies uses a higher megapixel camera with pixel-binning technology yet fail to come close to the top three smartphone quality in the market. Guess software plays a bigger role in this then meets the eye.
Please Do a Comparison with the 8 Pro and 7 Pro. To show what the better buy is for those looking for best price to value Oneplus Pro phones. Thanks and looking forward to it.
My most significant upgrades for past 6 years. HTC ONE -> Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus -> OnePlus 7 Pro..and looks like I man not goding to be upgrading for at least 2 morse years.
Watching this video in my one plus 7T pro bought 2 weeks ago. So far so good performance. I think one plus 7T pro is quite ok for next 2 years for me. One plus 8 or 8 Pro is not so great bump over 7t pro I think.
Ordered the 8 pro, and should be getting it soon. For me, I love the oxygen OS. And I'm getting OnePlus mainly for that. Really glad that they improved so many aspects of the phone and made it a real flagship with a bit of more money, of course. Using 5T at the moment, very very happy with it for the last 2.5 years.
I'm still using the OP5 for almost 3 years and it still runs perfectly and battery didn't fuck up over time. Will surely upgrade to the 8 Pro or 8T pro by the end of the year.
@@rahulshenoy5737 sure. I've been using it for almost two days now. I basically watched all the reviews on RUclips, so I know what I'm expecting. Very nicely built and quality camera. Overall experience is buttery smooth.
@@draculu Go for it man. Gotta admit, OP 5/5T are aging soo well that we don't really need to upgrade. I just really want to have a better camera to take photos during my hikes.
I think this is best Quality detailed review of this Great phone of 2020 👌✌️😍thank you 😇 But im really Disappointed with the insane price, Oneplus phones are not Cheap anymore now 😢
As an S9+ user I am either considering the 8 Pro or the Note 20 Plus. But I think the Note 20 Plus will still feature 120 Hz at FHD, which is a no-go for me considering it's a huge phone.
The Ultramarine Blue is also avalible in other countries, not only in the UK. I ordered on in Ultramarine Blue in 12GB RAM/256GB ROM because in germany black is only avalible in 8GB/128GB model and the green and blue models are 12gb/256GB versions here. :)
I would have purchased 8 Pro but that price tag? 1+ is the new Apple in the market. They gave all the useless upgrades because of RUclipsrs continuously bashing them wireless charging? No use, IP rating? No use,stupid punch hole display? It killed the whole vibe of the phone
Just ordered mine 8pro cant wait to get! And i know they gonna Throw updates to all the things they Can ! Oneplus thinking on the people its the only brands WHO does that great job with the video love that phone !😍💪🏼
I just bought the OP7t for £469 GB. From John Lewis..( for UK viewers ) with an unchallenged 2 yr. warranty. I moved up from the OP3t and as a non techie, for the price, this was just too good a deal to miss. FYI, one of your fellow reviewers does an entire 15 min review with the OP 7 pro submerged in glass pitcher of water. .and it came out and worked..no problem. And one thing that annoys me about OP users is that with all earlier iterations the complaints were .." Why no wireless charging .. or why no IP rating ! " So OP adds them...and now it's " why has the price gone up ? " WTF did they expect ??
Obliterate what? Why do you compared it to the Iphone? Why not samsung or LG? Iphone is an entirely different ego system. For that reason, they have their own customers so let it be that. If you want to compare than compare it to another Android phone with the same ego system.
@@forthosewhodare7325 even that, one plus added optimized battery charging (an iOS 13 feature, almost a year old now), but yeah you have to reckon one plus for copying good stuff and not like other android manufactures were they try to be clever and they can't
I just picked up an 8 Pro 256/12 (Because why not?). Its my first none Pixel phone since the original. After being underwhelmed by the 4XL (an breaking it) I thought it was time to give up my loyalty. So far I'm super happy with the phone and Oxygen OS. I would tend to agree about it being better than pure Android.
Nice video. Here's a little advice for you, if you want to differentiate a bit from other tech reviewers. Try to go more in-depth into the slightly niche features of the phone. For example, some people, myself included are interested in seeing the manual controls of the camera too (Pro tab), to understand how low/high the ISO and shutter speed goes in manual mode, etc. Also, what customizations are there for the always on display, how many steps of audio volume you get, that sort of thing. No tech reviewer ever seems to touch on that stuff with very few exceptions.
Now their USP has gone, price, their selling point is now only Oxygen OS. Does this make the OnePlus 8 Pro a better choice than the Galaxy S20 or iPhone 11 Pro? For some people.
Selling points for me are: - Oxygen OS mostly - Dual Sim - Bright af screen - Good, just not the best camera - Still cheaper than Samsung where I live - physical stores and good experience with warranty service
@@GreNadeMusicNL only the software is a USP though? Samsung's are also dual sim. At least my European S10 is. Super useful. Good points though. And let's face the price will drop. Phones are always much more at launch.
@@MrGoobee they've taken the third spot. Which is great. Huawai were killing it but I've seen a noticeable drop in interest in the Mate 30 Pro and P40 Pro. For me I'm sticking with Samsung as they also sell watches/tablets and Your Phone on Windows has the most features on Modern Samsungs
@@bradavon it's a really big part of the phone, the software is extremely important in my opinion. I had a samsung with one ui, and absolutely hated it. The alert slider is also nice, local repair centres you can just walk in and get your screen or battery replaced without having to send it off and missing your phone for 2 weeks. All those things make it worth it for me
My 8 Pro arrives tomorrow. Pretty psyched for it. It'll have to be damned impressive for me to keep it, tho. My Pixel 3XL still performs well aside from its wretched battery life. The only other phone that interests me for 2020 is the iPhone 12 Pro.
Great review.. Thanks for always doing great work. I was wondering are you going to do a oneplus 8 pro v the huawei p40 pro which you think is the best. I bought the p30 pro last year and still think it is a very good product. Removing the cost.. which do you think is better.
I wouldn't say too. Cause it's great value, build quality, fast and looks great. So I bought one last week. And the first thing that I noticed is the security update is still on november 2020. It's freaking 18 january 2021. Consider the fact that it's not as safe as my Pixel 4XL makes it a bit closer to "expensive".
@@Saurabh-hx1yp ikr I don't know why people are saying it is disappointing they literally made a better camera than the largest phone manufacturer in the world.
@@lellienicole yeah it's not the best but it is certainly in top 4/5. It is cheaper, faster, has one of the best screens, great freaking software, awesome features. What else do one want???
The good news about the camera is that it will improve dramatically over time. When the 7 series was released, the camera was atrocious. After a plethora of updates (which one plus is very good at releasing) the camera improved so much it looked like a whole new device. If the same happens for the 8 pro, the camera will be on par with the best in a matter of months.
I bought the 1+8 Pro. People need to stop comparing this phone to what the 1+3 (e.g.) was. This is a TRUE flagship phone! Some people are just never satisfied... First they want a better camera, IP- rating and wireless charging, now they bring it to their new phone and people complain it is becoming too expensive?! Stop comparing their phones to their older phone and just appreciate what OnePlus has done in 6 years bringing the ultimate flagship and still way cheaper than Apple, Samsung and even Xiaomi right now (mi 10 with 1080p 90hz)!
Yeah but it's still really a flagship killer when we compare it with samsung or other companies...and 8 pro cost 54,999 india...so it's a killer for sure 😂😂
Thanks Tom! Ur reviews really helped me while buying phone..Last year I bought 7T after watching your review and this year I will buy the S20 ultra..All the best TOM and keep doing this reviews....
Mate, how about the 7 pro or 7T pro in 2020? What will I lose/gain in buying the 7 pro compared to the 8? I'm not too interested in 8 or 8 pro because of their prices and specs ratio.
In two European hardware review sites which I respect, the S20+ or Ultra did pretty good on the battery test. On par with Find X2 Pro an iPhone 11 Pro. I think the Tech Chap is little biased or something went wrong with the test. Maybe the sort of test can make a difference. It's just like the camera. Some reviews like Tech chap are in favorite of the OP8 camera and in some comparison reviews the OP8 is still lagging
OP 8 Pro was third in MrWhoseTheBoss's video and second in Tech Chap's video. Difference is in Galaxy s20 ultra beating OP 8 pro in MrWhoseTheBosses's video. The reason for this difference is, Tech Chap was using the Exynos version of s20 ultra and MrWhoseTheBoss was using the SD865 version. It is well known Snapdragon is faster and more efficient (better battery life) than Exynos.
Hi. Is it worth to update from Huawei P20 Pro to OnePlus 8 Pro 12+256? Mainly in terms of camera quality... Sure the power is better with Snapdragon 865
I wish some of these guys would talk about connectivity on cellular and Wi-Fi because the pixel lineup at least in my experience the 2XL and 3XL a terrible connectivity issues
@@Jan-rn3vj no not really in some cases the s10 is better but in other cases the oneplus 8 pro is better, id pick the s10 camera over the oneplus camera but as an overall phone its definitely the 8 pro
I would like to switch back to android from apple and all i really care about is the camera and display. would like the s20Plus but would like to try something different than a samsung. So was looking at the one plus 7 pro t mclaren, One Plus 8 Pro, Google Pixle 4, or stick with apple and get the 11 pro What do you think???
They have improved the camera and got ip68 water resistance and fasted wireless charging,it's the cheapest flagship.Qualcomm forced 5g on them and just including 5g can largely increase the price
I hope you can answer this, I'm considering buying the OnePlus 8 pro and you have said that you've been using it for a couple of weeks, there are some issues within oneplus 8 pro indian units having issues for displays, have you also experienced that issues?
I know that this is a $1000 phone, but look at the prices of the comparable competition. Samsung 20 Ultra $1400 and iPhone also around $1400. In my opinion the 8 Pro is still a "budget" Flagship.
@@Thetechchap I have pre-ordered the OP 8Pro after comparing prices and spec with, among others, the Samsung 20+, Xiaomi Mi 10Pro and Huawei P40 Pro. Huawei is not really in the running because of the problem with Google Services. And living in Germany, any of the Samsung S20 offerings will only come with the Exynos chip set also the 20+ and 5G at a €100 premium. The Mi 10 pro doesn't have an IP68 rating.
Hello from India. I liked your content and it's amazing to see how much effort you put in to achieve this kind of perfection. The amount of details is actually more than the likes of MKBHD. 👍 I want an advice from you. I am upgrading from Samsung Note 9 (Exynos) . My options are S10+, S20+ (both Exynos) iPhone 11 Pro Max and the Oneplus 8 Pro. My priorities are excellent call quality via earpiece and speaker phone, excellent audio quality, excellent battery life and smooth overall performance with the least amount of frame drops. For me the basics of communication like Signal and WIFI reception and calling experience matter a lot. Which one should I go for?
The pricing is getting ridiculous. I'll seriously consider opening my 6T to replace the battery when the time comes. Really wish for more 4-500$ phones with clean software.
Thanks for actually reviewing the camera white balance, skin tones and dynamic range. The colour tone looks poor in comparisons and that's not mentioned in other reviews.
honestly if they had just put the main camera from the 8 pro on the 8 the and then only the wide angle and cut the macro then the phone would be worth it. I know they don't want to slash the sales of the pro but between the screen, the charging, the lens reduction, and not paying for IP i feel like they could have squeezed the 200 dollars there. Either way no pop up camera makes me sad.
You did not talk about the major issues with the phone of display turning green during usage at night. That plays the most important drawback to considering buying this phone
Hi, i have a s9+ with 256g storage. My 2 year contract is up in july. I do love sumsung but what do you recommend? Not impressed with the s20, maybe the s10 note but prices still high!
Hey Chaps! Do you think OnePlus has become too expensive?? 🤔 - Wallpaper: bit.ly/2xFzwyK
I think it was always their goal to work their way up to flagship price eventually.
Just orderd a oneplus 8 pro 128gb. I think it has the better value because of the ips rating, 120hz display and the better ram. You said ram was equal but it isn't, the 8 pro has ddr5 vs the ddr4 ram in the normal version. This makes a pro version much more future proof imo. I try to do 3 years with a phone.

The price would have been justified if the storage were 256/512GB

Moved from my 6T to the 8 Pro, can't wait for delivery
Did 6t became slow ? ( BTW , i have 6t and i wouldnt like to replace it before 4 years of its release )
@@randominsan9047 Hello, i have the 8GB 256Gb model, no slowdown at all, i just wanted a new phone to play with thats all :)
@@Siranya4148 how much and where did you order it?
@@theq1621 I got it from the OnePlus UK website, I bought it from them officially, £799 for the 8gb 128gb
I think this is best Quality detailed review of this Great phone of 2020 👌✌️😍thank you 😇
But im really Disappointed with the insane price, Oneplus phones are not Cheap anymore now 😢
If you're disappointed with the insane price then get the regular OP8, not the pro.
@@draculu even OP8 is expensive!!!!
@@draculu i dont find any proper reason to upgrade from much lesser price of 7t.7t is available 200$ lesser than 8 now..
Well in India it is 100$ cheaper than in West
As an S9+ user I am either considering the 8 Pro or the Note 20 Plus.
But I think the Note 20 Plus will still feature 120 Hz at FHD, which is a no-go for me considering it's a huge phone.
I mean the link for that amazing "spider Man" wallpaper
bit.ly/2xFzwyK there ya go
@@Thetechchap where did you find it?
The Ultramarine Blue is also avalible in other countries, not only in the UK. I ordered on in Ultramarine Blue in 12GB RAM/256GB ROM because in germany black is only avalible in 8GB/128GB model and the green and blue models are 12gb/256GB versions here. :)
I meant it's the only colour not coming to the UK unfortunately
Great review thank you... This could be the replacement for my Huawei Mate 20 Pro as there is still no sign of Google reappearing on Huawei handsets.
Exactly what I'm replacing my Mate 20 pro with
I would have purchased 8 Pro but that price tag? 1+ is the new Apple in the market. They gave all the useless upgrades because of RUclipsrs continuously bashing them wireless charging? No use, IP rating? No use,stupid punch hole display? It killed the whole vibe of the phone
You're a legend for putting the wallpaper in the description. Thank you
Yeah he's a legend. Lmao
Because he knows someone will ask for it 😂😂😂.
Fits perfect on vivo z1 pro doesn't look that good.. 😅
He deleted it 😭😭😭
Hey Great Review💯👏🏻. can you provide wallpaper link here pls..the one in description is deleted.
Just ordered mine 8pro cant wait to get! And i know they gonna Throw updates to all the things they Can ! Oneplus thinking on the people its the only brands WHO does that great job with the video love that phone !😍💪🏼
Oneplus 8 pro will definitely be the phone of the year just like the oneplus 7 pro was the best in 2019.
Me too & mine is arriving Tues 4/21
I just bought the OP7t for £469 GB.
From John Lewis..( for UK viewers ) with an unchallenged 2 yr. warranty. I moved up from the OP3t and as a non techie, for the price, this was just too good a deal to miss. FYI, one of your fellow reviewers does an entire 15 min review with the OP 7 pro submerged in glass pitcher of water. .and it came out and worked..no problem.
And one thing that annoys me about OP users is that with all earlier iterations the complaints were .." Why no wireless charging .. or why no IP rating ! "
So OP adds them...and now it's " why has the price gone up ? "
WTF did they expect ??
EVERYTHING OnePlus makes , completely obliterates anything iPhone , don't ever forget that people !!! Are we clear ?!!!
Obliterate what? Why do you compared it to the Iphone? Why not samsung or LG? Iphone is an entirely different ego system. For that reason, they have their own customers so let it be that. If you want to compare than compare it to another Android phone with the same ego system.
Processor? Camera? Software update? Apps optimization? I'm using Oneplus 6T but this is such a nice joke I have to comment.
@@forthosewhodare7325 even that, one plus added optimized battery charging (an iOS 13 feature, almost a year old now), but yeah you have to reckon one plus for copying good stuff and not like other android manufactures were they try to be clever and they can't
I just picked up an 8 Pro 256/12 (Because why not?). Its my first none Pixel phone since the original. After being underwhelmed by the 4XL (an breaking it) I thought it was time to give up my loyalty. So far I'm super happy with the phone and Oxygen OS. I would tend to agree about it being better than pure Android.
gg oneplus.their best phone ever.
Cooling system are available this Phone 🙏 please tell me
that wallpaper's cool
Nice video. Here's a little advice for you, if you want to differentiate a bit from other tech reviewers. Try to go more in-depth into the slightly niche features of the phone. For example, some people, myself included are interested in seeing the manual controls of the camera too (Pro tab), to understand how low/high the ISO and shutter speed goes in manual mode, etc. Also, what customizations are there for the always on display, how many steps of audio volume you get, that sort of thing. No tech reviewer ever seems to touch on that stuff with very few exceptions.
Now their USP has gone, price, their selling point is now only Oxygen OS. Does this make the OnePlus 8 Pro a better choice than the Galaxy S20 or iPhone 11 Pro? For some people.
Maybe they want to be the next Samsung!!
Selling points for me are:
- Oxygen OS mostly
- Dual Sim
- Bright af screen
- Good, just not the best camera
- Still cheaper than Samsung where I live
- physical stores and good experience with warranty service
@@GreNadeMusicNL only the software is a USP though? Samsung's are also dual sim. At least my European S10 is. Super useful. Good points though. And let's face the price will drop. Phones are always much more at launch.
@@MrGoobee they've taken the third spot. Which is great. Huawai were killing it but I've seen a noticeable drop in interest in the Mate 30 Pro and P40 Pro. For me I'm sticking with Samsung as they also sell watches/tablets and Your Phone on Windows has the most features on Modern Samsungs
@@bradavon it's a really big part of the phone, the software is extremely important in my opinion.
I had a samsung with one ui, and absolutely hated it. The alert slider is also nice, local repair centres you can just walk in and get your screen or battery replaced without having to send it off and missing your phone for 2 weeks.
All those things make it worth it for me
I just ordered one of this. Coming from a 200dollar phone 3yrs ago to this. It's a hell a lot of money for me. Hope I don't regret it.
nice to see the camera is getting good. Still a good value I think.
No one phone is worth that money.
My 8 Pro arrives tomorrow. Pretty psyched for it. It'll have to be damned impressive for me to keep it, tho. My Pixel 3XL still performs well aside from its wretched battery life. The only other phone that interests me for 2020 is the iPhone 12 Pro.
Everyone: focusing on buying the 8 pro...
Me: Still planning on buying the 7pro😂😂
Yes !! Finally watching on my OP 8pro
2:39 funeral dancers for hire. 😂
I never realised that the normal 8 is very similar to the previous pro... Game changer!
Oneplus 8 Vs oneplus 7t Review
The camera is better than before, but still not as good as a flagship. Was the story in 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 and now 2020.
Great review.. Thanks for always doing great work. I was wondering are you going to do a oneplus 8 pro v the huawei p40 pro which you think is the best. I bought the p30 pro last year and still think it is a very good product. Removing the cost.. which do you think is better.
2:39 they show up run away dude 😂
I wouldn't say too. Cause it's great value, build quality, fast and looks great. So I bought one last week. And the first thing that I noticed is the security update is still on november 2020. It's freaking 18 january 2021. Consider the fact that it's not as safe as my Pixel 4XL makes it a bit closer to "expensive".
Camera is great, but I *expected more.*
Lmao what more were you expecting? It beats s20 in camera department lol
@@Saurabh-hx1yp ikr I don't know why people are saying it is disappointing they literally made a better camera than the largest phone manufacturer in the world.
@@lellienicole yeah it's not the best but it is certainly in top 4/5. It is cheaper, faster, has one of the best screens, great freaking software, awesome features. What else do one want???
@@Saurabh-hx1yp Research more on its camera performance and what the entire camera setup lacks. Yes, it could have been better.
@@JustAnAtheist what would you improve?
The good news about the camera is that it will improve dramatically over time. When the 7 series was released, the camera was atrocious. After a plethora of updates (which one plus is very good at releasing) the camera improved so much it looked like a whole new device. If the same happens for the 8 pro, the camera will be on par with the best in a matter of months.
Oxygen OS over Stock!! Also Me Here!!🙋🙋😍😍
Haha yes!!
I've heard a lot of good things about the oxygen os
In India OnePlus 8 Pro is priced at $700 and OnePlus 8 at $570. I am really happy that the pricing is very lower than international pricing.
Can u make a comparison between one plus 8 pro and oppo find x2 pro
I bought the 1+8 Pro. People need to stop comparing this phone to what the 1+3 (e.g.) was. This is a TRUE flagship phone! Some people are just never satisfied... First they want a better camera, IP- rating and wireless charging, now they bring it to their new phone and people complain it is becoming too expensive?! Stop comparing their phones to their older phone and just appreciate what OnePlus has done in 6 years bringing the ultimate flagship and still way cheaper than Apple, Samsung and even Xiaomi right now (mi 10 with 1080p 90hz)!
Flagship killer become the flagship 👈🤣🤣🤣
Yeah but it's still really a flagship killer when we compare it with samsung or other companies...and 8 pro cost 54,999 india...so it's a killer for sure 😂😂
Thanks Tom! Ur reviews really helped me while buying phone..Last year I bought 7T after watching your review and this year I will buy the S20 ultra..All the best TOM and keep doing this reviews....
You must hate LG dude lol. You should review the LG V60. It's such a great phone.
Mate, how about the 7 pro or 7T pro in 2020? What will I lose/gain in buying the 7 pro compared to the 8?
I'm not too interested in 8 or 8 pro because of their prices and specs ratio.
Why did the OP 8 Pro did bad in the Battery test of MrWhoseTheBoss, it was like 4th in his video, while 2nd in your video.
MrWhoseTheBoss was using it at 120hz and QuadHD at the same time, and probably going on heavier apps, and recording 4k video for extensive time.
$$$ 🤫
Whosetheboss is biased because he is a paid sponsor of apple, his opinion on anything tech is completely invalid by that reason alone
In two European hardware review sites which I respect, the S20+ or Ultra did pretty good on the battery test. On par with Find X2 Pro an iPhone 11 Pro. I think the Tech Chap is little biased or something went wrong with the test. Maybe the sort of test can make a difference.
It's just like the camera. Some reviews like Tech chap are in favorite of the OP8 camera and in some comparison reviews the OP8 is still lagging
OP 8 Pro was third in MrWhoseTheBoss's video and second in Tech Chap's video. Difference is in Galaxy s20 ultra beating OP 8 pro in MrWhoseTheBosses's video. The reason for this difference is, Tech Chap was using the Exynos version of s20 ultra and MrWhoseTheBoss was using the SD865 version. It is well known Snapdragon is faster and more efficient (better battery life) than Exynos.
Hi. Is it worth to update from Huawei P20 Pro to OnePlus 8 Pro 12+256? Mainly in terms of camera quality... Sure the power is better with Snapdragon 865
I'm a samsung fan boy, but I gotta admit this phone really got my heart🔥💙
Hi. Is it worth upgrading from the 7pro ? Does this have LED NOTIFICATION LIGHT ?
It's funny how everyone talk about the slider. I see why people love it so much but I never used it. My phone is always on silence mode so 🤷🏽♂️.
I wish some of these guys would talk about connectivity on cellular and Wi-Fi because the pixel lineup at least in my experience the 2XL and 3XL a terrible connectivity issues
WHO HAS A BETTER CAMERA? ONE PLUS 8 OR S 10?
If you mean OnePlus 8 then the S10. If you mean the 8 Pro then the 8 Pro
@@Jan-rn3vj no not really in some cases the s10 is better but in other cases the oneplus 8 pro is better, id pick the s10 camera over the oneplus camera but as an overall phone its definitely the 8 pro
I would like to switch back to android from apple and all i really care about is the camera and display. would like the s20Plus but would like to try something different than a samsung.
So was looking at the one plus 7 pro t mclaren, One Plus 8 Pro, Google Pixle 4, or stick with apple and get the 11 pro
What do you think???
Oneplus is getting a bit gready
Or maybe it's time for us to get rich......??
They have improved the camera and got ip68 water resistance and fasted wireless charging,it's the cheapest flagship.Qualcomm forced 5g on them and just including 5g can largely increase the price
Is 1440p and 1080p noticable on smartphones?
"Messy house" You should see mine xD
8:38 that’s not 4x on the S20 haha
Welcome to another episode of i can't affort that
I hope you can answer this, I'm considering buying the OnePlus 8 pro and you have said that you've been using it for a couple of weeks, there are some issues within oneplus 8 pro indian units having issues for displays, have you also experienced that issues?
2020 Boycott stupid overpriced phones
I know that this is a $1000 phone, but look at the prices of the comparable competition. Samsung 20 Ultra $1400 and iPhone also around $1400. In my opinion the 8 Pro is still a "budget" Flagship.
That's true! Although it could say it's closer to s20+/Huawei P40 Pro
@@Thetechchap
I have pre-ordered the OP 8Pro after comparing prices and spec with, among others, the Samsung 20+, Xiaomi Mi 10Pro and Huawei P40 Pro. Huawei is not really in the running because of the problem with Google Services. And living in Germany, any of the Samsung S20 offerings will only come with the Exynos chip set also the 20+ and 5G at a €100 premium. The Mi 10 pro doesn't have an IP68 rating.
Hello from India. I liked your content and it's amazing to see how much effort you put in to achieve this kind of perfection. The amount of details is actually more than the likes of MKBHD. 👍 I want an advice from you. I am upgrading from Samsung Note 9 (Exynos) . My options are S10+, S20+ (both Exynos) iPhone 11 Pro Max and the Oneplus 8 Pro. My priorities are excellent call quality via earpiece and speaker phone, excellent audio quality, excellent battery life and smooth overall performance with the least amount of frame drops. For me the basics of communication like Signal and WIFI reception and calling experience matter a lot. Which one should I go for?
Is the photochromatic fourth lens used to adjust the HDR capabilities is the other lenses by the software?
Times are hard here in India. A giftaway for any of your phones would be greatly appreciated.
The pricing is getting ridiculous. I'll seriously consider opening my 6T to replace the battery when the time comes. Really wish for more 4-500$ phones with clean software.
iPhone se 2020
Thanks for actually reviewing the camera white balance, skin tones and dynamic range. The colour tone looks poor in comparisons and that's not mentioned in other reviews.
honestly if they had just put the main camera from the 8 pro on the 8 the and then only the wide angle and cut the macro then the phone would be worth it. I know they don't want to slash the sales of the pro but between the screen, the charging, the lens reduction, and not paying for IP i feel like they could have squeezed the 200 dollars there. Either way no pop up camera makes me sad.
So if I was buying now, whats the best bang for my proverbial buck? 7pro, 7t, 7t pro, 7t zoomy car showy off, 8, 8pro?
Which phone would you prefer ? Huawei P40 Pro or the OnePlus 8 Pro? Besides the non existent google services on the p40 pro
You did not talk about the major issues with the phone of display turning green during usage at night.
That plays the most important drawback to considering buying this phone
Hi, i have a s9+ with 256g storage. My 2 year contract is up in july. I do love sumsung but what do you recommend? Not impressed with the s20, maybe the s10 note but prices still high!
