And I could never recommend Samsungs flag ship phones until they get it out of there head that they are phones not computers. The Note Ultra 20 is over priced.
When you live in europe/germany your recommendations in terms of pricing and features don't quite work (in my opinion). The OnePlus 8T (128/8) costs 599€ and currently the OnePlus 8 (128/8) is priced around 630-650€. So when you compare these two models in price and features I wouldn't go with the OnePlus 8 as you recommend it. That's just what I'm thinking. I pre-ordered the OnePlus 8T. I believe OnePlus wants to "replace" the existing OnePlus 8 with the new OnePlus 8T to "clean" the line-up of their current smartphone models.
@@tobiasteichmann5882 (In this case) When the price is the same or lower for the OnePlus 8T in comparison to the "regular" 8-model (at least in germany) and the specs are also in some aspects better then I see it a little bit different. But in general I can agree with you that releasing a "regular" model besides a "Pro" and a "T" and a "T Pro" is a little bit strange and confusing (there is also the circumstance that the models aren't released at the same time but instead spread over the year). Maybe it's a better decision to focus your/OnePlus line-up on a maximum of three models for one year.
In europe the price is extremely good. The iphones cost much more here in europe than in the us. In the us the iphone 12 mini costs 700$ , in europe it costs 800+€. The samsung fe has the exynos variant and it is worse than the snapdragon.
Exactly, Pixel 5 5G it's probably 629-649€. iPhone 12 Mini and regular are 889€/989€, OnePlus 8T 128GB is 599€, student discounted at 569€ at launch already. Samsung S20 FE is 769€ So in the best cases, the competition is 200/300€ more expensive, and Google basically doesn't want to sell any pixel with that pricing.
I think Dave 2D doesn't care about RUclips AdSense revenue. With the intro and more longer b-rolls, this video could have easily reached the 8 min mark.
This video is actually not monetized I think and he probably wants each and every second of our time on his channel to be worth it and he didn't put an intro or tired to extend it. He simply ended it as soon as he was done reviewing it :3
he does still have a regular daily job, so I think this impacts the content he brings, it seems he does it because he likes doing it and he likes his community.
The pinnacle of OnePlus was the 7 pro. They set themselves apart by not compromising on the display in any way while still producing a flagship quality phone.
@@vedaryan334 It's too good mate. I use it and love it. But the problem is it's pricing in the US and other countries. In India it's a pretty amazing deal.
Yes earlier there was an excitement to what new they will bring to their upper midrange phones, but now we already know all the good stuff is reserved for the Pro models. Kinda sad to see them in this way tbh.
Why do y'all like to nitpick The only left out of the 8t was a great camera and why would you need a wireless charger when you can charge to 100 in 40mins What more do you want in a phone????? It even has the second best software in android
Well it's really obvious. One Plus being a Chinese company is trying to fit itself again in the Indian market,hence it is really giving us cheap pricing. Apple on the other hand well ,they are Apple,they don't care about all.that bs because their target consumer in India will still buy the phone no matter the price.
It's convenient especially for phones like Samsung S10+ where wireless charging speed is almost as fast as wired. It's more than just being cool but I get your point.
Yeah exactly I have s10 5g its got wireless charging ive never used it rather use 25 watt super fast charging though I do like the power transfer so I can charge my brothers phone when we are out
Here in Norway I have to say that the price for the 8T is spot on. It's about 200 dollars less than the standard 8 model and 600 dollars less than the pro model.
@@nafizimtiaz5680 The price difference ihas dropped a bit now. So the 8 Pro is only 470 US Dollars more expensive than the 8T at the moment. The 8T cost about 740 US Dollars up here in the expensive Norway.
Dave, What you should know is 8T is not primarily targeted towards the US market. They already have 8/8 Pro there. It's launched specially for the Indian market, that too for the Diwali season when almost everyone buys new and/or expensive things. It's strategically launched just before the festive season and at a much lower price than its international counterparts to increase their stagnant sales.
Iphones cost twice in India, Samsung ships with Exynos and just 4g variants of even the S20 FE and costs like 5+ more than 256GB of OP8T for thier base variants, In Countries like these Oneplus 8t is a great option cause it costs nearly just 600$ in india where samsung costs like 700$ and Apples costs over 1000$
@@leviathan-c2i Regarding 5G you are accurate. But samsung screws up by using Exynos. If they had put a SD 865 chipset in that S20FE, it would have given oneplus a run for their money.
@@shinoyap38 i know Samsung's exynox is inferior right now and we have to wait for 2022 when exynox can challenge snapdragon but for s20fe i think its fair as all 5g version runs on snapdragon 865 and all 4g on exynox 998 for 100$ cheaper unlike note 20 or s20
For almost the same pricepoint, would you recommend the 8T or the S20/S20 FE (both ~€660)? Oneplus 8 seems about €100 more than the S20, and the Pro around 300 more expensive. so i assume the 8t will be somewhere in the middle. Thanks for the suggestion in advance! Really need a new one soon.
I got the 8T a couple days ago upgraded from my V40 and I love it. It’s amazing. But now I’m thinking I should have got the 8 pro. Idk. Too late now I still love it
Totally get your comments on it, but I'll tell you who the phone is for...my wife! 1. Loves OnePlus phones, has the 7 Pro, realized she haaates the curved screen over the edges. 2. Doesn't care about wireless charging, loves quick charge. 3. Is happy if she can take a few cat pictures here and there, and uses the phone for receipt scanning and docs more than anything. She loved the look of this one immediately, ordered it and is selling off the 7 Pro. Oh and why not the other competitors? Pixel 5 is underpowered compared to 8T, and Samsung FE is...Samsung. :) She's had multiple unhappy Samsung experiences over the years and looks at competitors whenever possible.
Exactly. The camera is good. Is not a Pixel, but is not a $299 phone camera. 65 watt charging, 12 GB of RAM, 256 hard drive, clean interface and 120hz Oled flat screen. Find me another phone with all those specs. Can't? Nope. Buy the phone. Is a bullet.
OnePlus needs to stop adding camera just for namesake, like the op7t has 3 great cameras with a macro mode , all usefull cameras and also was cheaper, I hate when companies add useless cameras like the macro camera and depth camera.
Do you really think that the 8t has bad cameras or do u think it has bad software? If u look at the camera specs alone (ignoring the macro camera nonsense) the cameras seem more than acceptable.
@@Sam-mm5lp well yes, it has 2 useless cameras a macro camera and a monochrome camera and Also 2 flashes out of which only one work, why put more cameras just for namesake.
@@pranjalchoudhary9861 S20 Plus in India comes with the Exynos Processor, not the snapdragon one and the 49K version is 8GB/128GB I had that on my radar as well, but decided to go 1+. If you are into photography, and the top screen on the market matters to you, go for S20. For me, photography wasn't a major concern, performance was. SD865 with 12GB/256 will be 46K vs S20 Plus. Hope that helps.
Brilliant review! You are right about everything you said, the 8t is difficult to describe and when there are options like s20 fe and iPhone 12/12mini the 8t seem inferior in the camera category. Was thinking which one to buy but the 🍎 12 seems way better in all aspects. Better build, wireless charging, massive water resistance, better camera for sure, and to be honest it would be better even in the best category of the oneplus devices-speed and chipset.
I can understand the dilemma for consumers in the US and some other countries but here in India, the story is quite different. The S20 FE comes with the Exynos processor while being more expensive than the 8T. Pixel 5 is almost as expensive as the 8pro here and it doesn't make any sense to go for the pixel given what it offers for that price. The pricing of iPhones is straight up garbage, iPhone 12 mini will retail at $960 in India instead of $700 in the USA. So as an Indian, buying anything other than the 8T makes no sense at all. Nonetheless, great video Dave2D 🔥

Fast forward to 2022 I bought this phone for exactly 380$ brand new. That is mind blowing, it literally costed as much as a Oneplus Nord new. It's literally just about the price, at the time of this video the phone was definitely far too expensive and I agree with Dave here. With that being said, specs are not anything and while I do love the 120hz display the actual experience is pretty mediocre due to app optimization. Apps like Discord and reddit are terrible on this phone, Discord looks terrible because it's not optimized for this screen size and reddit is garbage on Android. It made me realize how Apple's premium price tag is pretty much justified. Because they have very few phones and a distinct OS developers make iOS apps butter smooth. I upgraded from an iPhone 7 and I honestly miss the reddit app there. But at the same time I would've never bought a decent Apple phone for that much money... almost none of their phones have 120hz as of this comment. Really a dilemma buying phones, you either sacrifice specs and go for iPhones or sacrifice optimization and go for Android, can't have both.
I was at the CN tower last night man. I know photos taken might be week old but It will be so awesome to see u anywhere by accident. It would be sooo awesome. I am fan of yours and love your vids. Watching since 2 years.
This just might be me, but I have no idea why ''no wireless charging'' is such a big issue. I legitimately don't know a single person who uses wireless charging...
me too.. this will never be a deal breaker to me. Like, if I use wireless charging I'm not able to use my phone while it's charging, and I do that a lot
It's fancy, it is cool, I don't deny it. But I never had battery problems with my phones, so ne fact to connect to a cable to recharge them has never been a problem.
Resorted to this video at late 2021 prior to deciding to purchase an OnePlus 8T. I honestly think it's an appropriate video of OP8T till date and is simply more 'correctly' informative. As always, a Quality video at its best. Thanks from an admirer ❤️
I never seen any tech reviewers make such a short and impacting reviews. Some drags the video to 15-20 min and at the end with a choas. I find your videos very clear to large audience by talking to the point. Kudos🙂👍🏽
His point about pricing is interesting, specially the variance in markets. For instance I just bought the 8 pro in india after waiting for the 8T to drop (which I was intending to buy). OP priced the 8T very deliberately and released it in India during festive season along side a sale on its other products (including the 8 pro). Suddenly the relative price difference between the 8 pro and 8T made the latter look worse (by a lot) , so I sprung for the pro. Wouldn't be surprised if a lot of other Indian smartphone buyers made this decision too.
In India, Pixel 4a (non 5G): $408 Oneplus 8T (8 + 128): $585 Samsung S20 FE (exynos 990 4G): $680 iPhone 12 mini (64GB): $951 iphone 12 (64GB): $1087 Now you see why there is no competition to Oneplus in India. While other companies charge us more than the global price, Oneplus actually charges us less, which makes it even more compelling.
The iPhone mini 12 in the USA is 729 dollars for the 64GB which is still to much. The top iPhone mini is 879 dollars. What gets me is that Android phone companies this year like Samsung, OnePlus, Google, LG, etc are ditching the 64 gig for the flag ships and to a point even mid range phones. I mean come one people can't compare the price of the iPhone mini 12 base storage to the OnePlus 8t and say it's a better deal. I mean not when mid range phones had more storage then the base iPhone mini. The A71 has a 128gigs of storage vs the iPhone mini and it costs less.
Oh man you are awesome you are very transparent not like other. Appreciate your straight forwardness. 👍 I really appreciate your view. Keep doing the same and do not deviate. Perfect review and I agree every point you discuss 👍
Why do you keep saying that the pixel 5 is a competitor? It's inferior in every way except for the camera. It has slower cpu, slower gpu, slower storage and slower refresh rate. So why do you keep saying that it's a competitor? In fact, considering the oneplus and Samsung FE, it is vastly overpriced.
Because Google owns RUclips and RUclips pays these guys so... 👀 The wireless charging thing is so overhyped IMO-the fast charging is so damn fast you won’t need to wirelessly charge it. 15 mins would bet you a full day of battery. IMO idk why anybody would choose the Pixel 5 unless they want that “stock Android” experience. Meh.
You can even get that camera system on the 4a 5g, you only lose wireless charging and 90Hz screen. The pixel 5 shouldn't be compared to other flagships just because of its camera when it loses out on everything else
@@iambear.6526 Are you an Idiot?An Everyday User won't Notice 120Hz?A Everyday User won't notice 65 watt Charging?A Everyday User won't Notice the Optimisation's of Oxygen Os?An Everyday User Isn't a camera geek shit as well
I think you hit the nail in the head here. This is exactly my issue with companies trying to have multiple product lines. Eventually, they end up competing with each other and holding each other back. Samsung and Xiaomi are notorious for this and while they do sell a good number of phones, nothing in particular really stands out and it makes it harder for potential customers to choose. Brands should really streamline their offerings. One budget/mid-range phone and one high-end (or two if they want to do a mini) are more than enough. That way, they can just pack everything they have on it and people will easily remember and gravitate towards it instead of having 2 flagships a year and some lower-end models. OnePlus was doing so well when they only had one phone. It was easy to recommend it to people and it was easy for it to stand out. Even iPhones back then, despite still selling very well, wasn't as confusing to their customers when they only had one device a year.
I changed from fast OP to sluggish Pixel because I was embarrassed by the quality of low-light photo when a girl asked me to help her to snap a pic during night time, now OP is giving good reasons to go back to them.
Which pixel model? And sluggish? I've never used a pixel but I heard its using the stock android which should be light and nimble. Mind explaining why its sluggish in your experience?
@@kurokamei it was pixel 3 xl. That's the beauty of OnePlus ( referring op 5 ), they somehow managed to improve it, made it much more snappier than stock android?
I gave up on apple after being a fanboy for quite some time and switched to OnePlus with OP 3T in 2016. I liked OnePlus for all phones they came with. I got my hands on 5, 6, 6T, 7 and 7T (my current phone). My next upgrade will be for better camera system which is my major complain with all OnePlus ever since 3T. Please OnePlus, time for a better camera now!! 🙏🏼
In 2021 there's a rebranded version of this phone known as 9r for 500 dollars here in India with a new sd 870 chipset and LPDDR5 ram with 4 years of software updates. The camera module is re done and comes in two colors matte black and Aqua Marine green
I see a lot of complaints for the lack of wireless charging in the 8T and why said charging is not a big deal. Dave is just saying that, for the price, this phone should be wireless charging capable.
Wireless charging is secondary cuz fast charging is always better. The issue here is the camera. With that price you are directly competing with pixel 5, s20, and upcoming iphone 12 to name a few(all of the mentioned does have wireless charging too)
Great video, Dave. Thanks for doing vids like these and keep doing it! Thumbs up, man. For me, price varies every country or place and I would rather get the 8T or the pixel 5. Pixel 5 stands out for me but it is not available in my country. The 8T, it is cheaper since 8gb is the only one available here. Comes around $699 converted to dollars. But given if I can, I will rather go with the 8 pro since it will give you what you paid for. Overall!
I am praying that they release continuous software updates to improve the camera more and more because that seems like the main thing this is lacking for me (I don't mind wireless charging) and I already put in a preorder for it, so we'll see how it goes
I think OnePlus has grown quite well since they started. Cameras have improved too. RUclipsrs need to nitpick and be critical about devices. And besides, as humans, we are all biased to some degree.
In india the oneplus 8 goes for around $550 and the 8T for $585, we got no pixel 5 and Samsung sells their Exynos crap for $700... So we got no other option...
In india 8t is exact price as 8, s20 fe comes with Exynos chip and pixel 5 is not available, iphone 12 cost 40% more, so i ordered the 8t , can't see a better deal 😅
@@niuchajianfa6222 no it's not, but when it comes to smartphones there's simply no choice, I'm ready to take a hit of 20-30% of the cost if it meant to help the cause, samsung with their crappy ui and processors, apple with insanely high prices, google ditching us all together with not launching phones here, we are just forced to buy these.
I got my OnePlus 8t yesterday and I noticed only one flash (center one) is lighting up during photos and flashlight.. is this how it is supposed to be? How do you get the other flash to work?
It's difficult to review because of different prices in diff. Countries? Lol, See the iphone 12 pro, pro max variants Indian pricing, it isn't even possible to review then!

The OnePlus 8T (128/8) costs 599€ and currently the OnePlus 8 (128/8) is priced around 630-650€.
So when you compare these two models in price and features I wouldn't go with the OnePlus 8 as you recommend it. That's just what I'm thinking.
I pre-ordered the OnePlus 8T.
I believe OnePlus wants to "replace" the existing OnePlus 8 with the new OnePlus 8T to "clean" the line-up of their current smartphone models.
exactly like they did with the 7! they just replaced it with the 7T line
That T line is somehow pointless.
@@tobiasteichmann5882 (In this case) When the price is the same or lower for the OnePlus 8T in comparison to the "regular" 8-model (at least in germany) and the specs are also in some aspects better then I see it a little bit different.
But in general I can agree with you that releasing a "regular" model besides a "Pro" and a "T" and a "T Pro" is a little bit strange and confusing (there is also the circumstance that the models aren't released at the same time but instead spread over the year). Maybe it's a better decision to focus your/OnePlus line-up on a maximum of three models for one year.
Exactly, I don't know why most of the reviewers only talk about US Prices, they know that people who watch these reviews are from all over the world.

In europe the price is extremely good. The iphones cost much more here in europe than in the us. In the us the iphone 12 mini costs 700$ , in europe it costs 800+€. The samsung fe has the exynos variant and it is worse than the snapdragon.
samsung is fooling around brother s20 FE 5G which have the snapdragon is not released yet and they never mention the processor name.
Same here in India. OP phones are priced $150-200 cheaper here, but Iphones are priced almost $300 more here compared to US.
Yep. Iphones are about 40-50% more expensive in my country than in the US. Mindblowing. And they wonder why sales are horrible outside the US...

Exactly, Pixel 5 5G it's probably 629-649€. iPhone 12 Mini and regular are 889€/989€, OnePlus 8T 128GB is 599€, student discounted at 569€ at launch already. Samsung S20 FE is 769€
So in the best cases, the competition is 200/300€ more expensive, and Google basically doesn't want to sell any pixel with that pricing.

I think Dave 2D doesn't care about RUclips AdSense revenue. With the intro and more longer b-rolls, this video could have easily reached the 8 min mark.
This video is actually not monetized I think and he probably wants each and every second of our time on his channel to be worth it and he didn't put an intro or tired to extend it. He simply ended it as soon as he was done reviewing it :3
he does still have a regular daily job, so I think this impacts the content he brings, it seems he does it because he likes doing it and he likes his community.
The pinnacle of OnePlus was the 7 pro. They set themselves apart by not compromising on the display in any way while still producing a flagship quality phone.

@@AchiragChiragg yeah that's a thing what bothered me in the beginning. But still isn't expected when you charge so much for it!
OnePlus has lost me. I used to be so excited about them, but ever since the pro models it just isn't the same company I remember.
Yes earlier there was an excitement to what new they will bring to their upper midrange phones, but now we already know all the good stuff is reserved for the Pro models. Kinda sad to see them in this way tbh.
Me too this phone was my last hope in oneplus brand but now it's time to change the oneplus 5t
Why do y'all like to nitpick

the fact that this is similarly priced to iphone 12 in USA. and almost half of it in India is just really weird.
i mean iphone 12 is still a bad choice to make in 2020. Pick up S20 FE, Pixel 5 or 8T instead.
Well it's really obvious. One Plus being a Chinese company is trying to fit itself again in the Indian market,hence it is really giving us cheap pricing.
Apple on the other hand well ,they are Apple,they don't care about all.that bs because their target consumer in India will still buy the phone no matter the price.

Thats a good thing keep it simple but good
Why is everyone so concerned with wireless charging? Its slow. Takes up more energy. It just looks cool. Thats it.
have you even tried wireless charging, its the convenience that it provides.
I absolutely agree. I've had a couple wireless chargers (I didn't buy any of them) and I just didn't like them at all. I'll stick to usbc
It's convenient especially for phones like Samsung S10+ where wireless charging speed is almost as fast as wired. It's more than just being cool but I get your point.
Yeah exactly I have s10 5g its got wireless charging ive never used it rather use 25 watt super fast charging though I do like the power transfer so I can charge my brothers phone when we are out
@Crystalblade Wireless has some advantages such as not having to worry about data breach when charging your phone through public usb ports.
Here in Norway I have to say that the price for the 8T is spot on.
It's about 200 dollars less than the standard 8 model and 600 dollars less than the pro model.
600 less? Omg
@@tobiasteichmann5882 Yeah Norway is sadly a bit expensive all over.

Dave, What you should know is 8T is not primarily targeted towards the US market. They already have 8/8 Pro there.
It's launched specially for the Indian market, that too for the Diwali season when almost everyone buys new and/or expensive things. It's strategically launched just before the festive season and at a much lower price than its international counterparts to increase their stagnant sales.
Thank you for the insight, it help a lot knowing the context of the launch of this phone. Cheers
Good to know, thanks
u r correct, my sister bot one today in amazon big billion day sale and its amazing phone
This is a very interesting take!
I think you're missing the main positive of the 8T which is the FLAT SCREEN LOL. That's why I would opt for this over the other models.

Iphones cost twice in India, Samsung ships with Exynos and just 4g variants of even the S20 FE and costs like 5+ more than 256GB of OP8T for thier base variants, In Countries like these Oneplus 8t is a great option cause it costs nearly just 600$ in india where samsung costs like 700$ and Apples costs over 1000$
It also costs like $500 in China. It is overpriced in US
india doesn't have any 5g service available neither public will have it before 2022 so 5g in india or any south Asian country is waste of money
@@leviathan-c2i
Regarding 5G you are accurate. But samsung screws up by using Exynos. If they had put a SD 865 chipset in that S20FE, it would have given oneplus a run for their money.
@@shinoyap38 i know Samsung's exynox is inferior right now and we have to wait for 2022 when exynox can challenge snapdragon
but for s20fe i think its fair as all 5g version runs on snapdragon 865 and all 4g on exynox 998 for 100$ cheaper unlike note 20 or s20
For almost the same pricepoint, would you recommend the 8T or the S20/S20 FE (both ~€660)? Oneplus 8 seems about €100 more than the S20, and the Pro around 300 more expensive. so i assume the 8t will be somewhere in the middle. Thanks for the suggestion in advance! Really need a new one soon.
I got the 8T a couple days ago upgraded from my V40 and I love it. It’s amazing. But now I’m thinking I should have got the 8 pro. Idk. Too late now I still love it

Totally get your comments on it, but I'll tell you who the phone is for...my wife! 1. Loves OnePlus phones, has the 7 Pro, realized she haaates the curved screen over the edges. 2. Doesn't care about wireless charging, loves quick charge. 3. Is happy if she can take a few cat pictures here and there, and uses the phone for receipt scanning and docs more than anything. She loved the look of this one immediately, ordered it and is selling off the 7 Pro. Oh and why not the other competitors? Pixel 5 is underpowered compared to 8T, and Samsung FE is...Samsung. :) She's had multiple unhappy Samsung experiences over the years and looks at competitors whenever possible.
Exactly. The camera is good. Is not a Pixel, but is not a $299 phone camera. 65 watt charging, 12 GB of RAM, 256 hard drive, clean interface and 120hz Oled flat screen. Find me another phone with all those specs. Can't? Nope. Buy the phone. Is a bullet.

@@SumitShrivastava17 i have now an samsung s8. what do you think is it better to wait for another phone or buy this one?
Brilliant review! You are right about everything you said, the 8t is difficult to describe and when there are options like s20 fe and iPhone 12/12mini the 8t seem inferior in the camera category. Was thinking which one to buy but the 🍎 12 seems way better in all aspects. Better build, wireless charging, massive water resistance, better camera for sure, and to be honest it would be better even in the best category of the oneplus devices-speed and chipset.
I can understand the dilemma for consumers in the US and some other countries but here in India, the story is quite different.
The S20 FE comes with the Exynos processor while being more expensive than the 8T.
Pixel 5 is almost as expensive as the 8pro here and it doesn't make any sense to go for the pixel given what it offers for that price.
The pricing of iPhones is straight up garbage, iPhone 12 mini will retail at $960 in India instead of $700 in the USA.
So as an Indian, buying anything other than the 8T makes no sense at all.

Indian market have more options than you mentioned, just because you are an OnePlus fanboy, you can't see the rest
Fast forward to 2022 I bought this phone for exactly 380$ brand new. That is mind blowing, it literally costed as much as a Oneplus Nord new. It's literally just about the price, at the time of this video the phone was definitely far too expensive and I agree with Dave here.
With that being said, specs are not anything and while I do love the 120hz display the actual experience is pretty mediocre due to app optimization. Apps like Discord and reddit are terrible on this phone, Discord looks terrible because it's not optimized for this screen size and reddit is garbage on Android.
It made me realize how Apple's premium price tag is pretty much justified. Because they have very few phones and a distinct OS developers make iOS apps butter smooth. I upgraded from an iPhone 7 and I honestly miss the reddit app there. But at the same time I would've never bought a decent Apple phone for that much money... almost none of their phones have 120hz as of this comment.
Really a dilemma buying phones, you either sacrifice specs and go for iPhones or sacrifice optimization and go for Android, can't have both.

His point about pricing is interesting, specially the variance in markets. For instance I just bought the 8 pro in india after waiting for the 8T to drop (which I was intending to buy). OP priced the 8T very deliberately and released it in India during festive season along side a sale on its other products (including the 8 pro). Suddenly the relative price difference between the 8 pro and 8T made the latter look worse (by a lot) , so I sprung for the pro. Wouldn't be surprised if a lot of other Indian smartphone buyers made this decision too.

Samsung S20 FE (exynos 990 4G): $680
iPhone 12 mini (64GB): $951
iphone 12 (64GB): $1087
Now you see why there is no competition to Oneplus in India. While other companies charge us more than the global price, Oneplus actually charges us less, which makes it even more compelling.
The iPhone mini 12 in the USA is 729 dollars for the 64GB which is still to much.
The top iPhone mini is 879 dollars. What gets me is that Android phone companies this year like Samsung, OnePlus, Google, LG, etc are ditching the 64 gig for the flag ships and to a point even mid range phones. I mean come one people can't compare the price of the iPhone mini 12 base storage to the OnePlus 8t and say it's a better deal.

Why do you keep saying that the pixel 5 is a competitor? It's inferior in every way except for the camera. It has slower cpu, slower gpu, slower storage and slower refresh rate. So why do you keep saying that it's a competitor? In fact, considering the oneplus and Samsung FE, it is vastly overpriced.
Because Google owns RUclips and RUclips pays these guys so... 👀
The wireless charging thing is so overhyped IMO-the fast charging is so damn fast you won’t need to wirelessly charge it. 15 mins would bet you a full day of battery.
IMO idk why anybody would choose the Pixel 5 unless they want that “stock Android” experience. Meh.
You can even get that camera system on the 4a 5g, you only lose wireless charging and 90Hz screen. The pixel 5 shouldn't be compared to other flagships just because of its camera when it loses out on everything else

Say that to samsung and apple.
I think you hit the nail in the head here. This is exactly my issue with companies trying to have multiple product lines. Eventually, they end up competing with each other and holding each other back. Samsung and Xiaomi are notorious for this and while they do sell a good number of phones, nothing in particular really stands out and it makes it harder for potential customers to choose. Brands should really streamline their offerings. One budget/mid-range phone and one high-end (or two if they want to do a mini) are more than enough. That way, they can just pack everything they have on it and people will easily remember and gravitate towards it instead of having 2 flagships a year and some lower-end models. OnePlus was doing so well when they only had one phone. It was easy to recommend it to people and it was easy for it to stand out. Even iPhones back then, despite still selling very well, wasn't as confusing to their customers when they only had one device a year.
I changed from fast OP to sluggish Pixel because I was embarrassed by the quality of low-light photo when a girl asked me to help her to snap a pic during night time, now OP is giving good reasons to go back to them.
Which pixel model? And sluggish? I've never used a pixel but I heard its using the stock android which should be light and nimble. Mind explaining why its sluggish in your experience?
@@kurokamei it was pixel 3 xl. That's the beauty of OnePlus ( referring op 5 ), they somehow managed to improve it, made it much more snappier than stock android?

In 2021 there's a rebranded version of this phone known as 9r for 500 dollars here in India with a new sd 870 chipset and LPDDR5 ram with 4 years of software updates. The camera module is re done and comes in two colors matte black and Aqua Marine green
I see a lot of complaints for the lack of wireless charging in the 8T and why said charging is not a big deal. Dave is just saying that, for the price, this phone should be wireless charging capable.
Wireless charging is secondary cuz fast charging is always better. The issue here is the camera. With that price you are directly competing with pixel 5, s20, and upcoming iphone 12 to name a few(all of the mentioned does have wireless charging too)

I am praying that they release continuous software updates to improve the camera more and more because that seems like the main thing this is lacking for me (I don't mind wireless charging) and I already put in a preorder for it, so we'll see how it goes
I think OnePlus has grown quite well since they started. Cameras have improved too. RUclipsrs need to nitpick and be critical about devices. And besides, as humans, we are all biased to some degree.
love your reviews though on this why do you need wireless charging when it charges from 0-100 in 40 mins?
In india the oneplus 8 goes for around $550 and the 8T for $585, we got no pixel 5 and Samsung sells their Exynos crap for $700...
So we got no other option...
Love your Reviews, Dave. Keep it up!
In india 8t is exact price as 8, s20 fe comes with Exynos chip and pixel 5 is not available, iphone 12 cost 40% more, so i ordered the 8t , can't see a better deal 😅
Better choice in my opinion.
looks like the "boycott china" thing is over in India now?
@@niuchajianfa6222 no it's not, but when it comes to smartphones there's simply no choice, I'm ready to take a hit of 20-30% of the cost if it meant to help the cause, samsung with their crappy ui and processors, apple with insanely high prices, google ditching us all together with not launching phones here, we are just forced to buy these.
Iphone 12 has no charger and no inclusve ear buds, they intended to pay you more. Apple PURE GREED!
@@mohitsihag1 so your holy cause is sabtaged by Samsung's crappy UI? seems legit....
I got my OnePlus 8t yesterday and I noticed only one flash (center one) is lighting up during photos and flashlight.. is this how it is supposed to be? How do you get the other flash to work?
Interesting. What about while taking a video with the flash switched on?
That's how it's meant to be.
@@binoymathew246 still only the middle one.....i think the top one is titally useless
The second flash looking sensor is used to reduce flickering while recording video... I hope this clarifies ur doubt and others.
Dave, your voice seems so peaceful that sometimes I don't even listen to what you are saying just to concentrate on that.
Dave rejecting every new phone coming out nowadays
First Samsung S20 FE now Oneplus8T
The problem with oneplus is that their 7 series was way too good .
True, the 7pro is 350 us dollars I'm thinking of getting it soon
hasn't changed one bit in India so I'm going for the 8
Most practical review. Only reviewer who actually can change my mind. Really appreciate your prospective. Thank you
Just ordered an 8T 5G in India. Let's see how it goes.
It's difficult to review because of different prices in diff. Countries?
Lol,
See the iphone 12 pro, pro max variants Indian pricing, it isn't even possible to review then!
Apple is like multiply by 100 and launch in india
For iPhone SE like Rs.42,000 launch price.. Why will people buy apple in India?? Unless those are fanboys😏
@@Praxss Yeah, even if you go to America, buy one and get back, it might be cheaper than buying directly from here
@@rohitmovies4240 Dubai is the best option
@madan kumar I basically love iPhones. I'm against the pricing here in India. I've used 2 iPhones myself. I shifted to other brands afterwards coz of prices.
