I had an One Plus 8 phone that was two years old but recently had a bloated battery and I needed a phone to use while I am waiting for the time to get the battery replaced on the One Plus 8 that I had. This phone is quite a nice upgrade in speed and storage over the One Plus 8. I love the color. I also got this at a price that was nearly $300 off the regular price which made it easy to select this. I’ve read the 9 and 10 models aren’t as good as the 8 and I was not going to pay full price for a newer phone. This will work until I see the 11th generation is worth purchasing at a discounted rate. Very pleased with the phone and speed.

I upgraded to the OnePlus 8 from a Pixel 2XL, and I have thoroughly enjoyed this phone so far! I was a little hesitant buying this phone (with some complaining about the camera, and so many other phones releasing this fall), but this phone has surpassed my expectations! I wasn’t interested in the OnePlus 8 Pro because of the larger size/weight and more expensive price tag. The OnePlus 8 is close to the size of my Pixel 2XL, which is big enough for me. Personally, I don’t really care about wireless charging or water resistance. Also, I read the pro has a more prominent waterfall screen (the screen wraps around the sides of the phone more), which I was not interested in.The screen is big and beautiful! The hole punch camera doesn’t bother me at all, and I forget it is there most of the time. The 90hz screen was a huge selling point for me, and is a huge upgrade from a 60hz screen. It really makes the phone feel buttery smooth.Speaking of buttery smooth, this phone will handle anything you throw at it! The combination of the beefy specs (emphasis on the 8gb/12 gb of RAM) and OxygenOS make for an amazing experience. I am not a big mobile gamer, but I did try PUBG to check out the 90 fps mode, which works and gameplay is smooth/fluid.The battery life has been fantastic. It will definitely get though an entire day with heavy usage. The included 30w fast charger will charge up your phone super quick if you are in a rush. The phone also has battery optimization options that will help prevent the battery from degrading overtime.The on-screen fingerprint reader is very fast and I rarely have issues unlocking the phone. I have not tried face recognition, because I just prefer the fingerprint reader.The stereo speakers are pretty great, and I have no issues with the sound quality. I mostly use Bluetooth Bose earbuds with the phone, and haven’t had any connection issues at all.The build quality is very premium and feels like a $1000 phone. Hepatic feedback (vibration) is something people overlook in reviews, and it feels great and is subtle. The power and volume buttons also feel nice and clicky. The power button on the Pixel 2 XL felt spongy, and sometimes wouldn’t even register me pressing it (it was super annoying). The notification slider (ring/vibrate/silent) is useful and should be on more Android phones. The glass back also makes the phone feel premium, but it is super slippery. It is also a fingerprint magnet (interstellar glow). So maybe slap a case or a D-Brand skin on the back (although the interstellar glow looks beautiful).In my opinion, the camera is not nearly as bad as some people are saying. It still takes high quality photos, and software updates will only make it better. It isn’t as easy as the pixel 2XL’s camera and camera software, but it has potential! It definitely isn’t on par with the OnePlus 8 pro or other $1000 phones, but it gets the job done. I am definitely not a photographer or photography enthusiast, so if you are looking for a phone that takes the best photos, maybe go with the OnePlus 8 pro. Also, the 2MP macro camera on this phone is pretty pointless (which may be my only negative point in this review). I know some people were having issues with the selfie camera (reports of blurry/fuzzy images), but I haven’t had any problems with it so far.Overall, this is exactly the phone I wanted. A super fast phone (high specs and 90hz screen) that I didn’t pay $1000+ for. I will never be able to go back to a phone with a 60hz screen!

This is my second Oneplus smartphone as I’m moving from the 6 to 8 and I’ve found a home with OnePlus. It may not have the name recognition in the USA that some of the other well-known brands do (Apple, Samsung, LG, Motorola, etc.) but now that more carriers are starting to adopt the brand in the states (Verizon & T-Mobile) it’s only a matter of time before it’s mentioned in the same breath as the Iphone or a galaxy. It has already topped many of the best phones of 2020 lists and for good reason. This phone is a beast, plain and simple. Whatever you throw at it, it can handle it plus more. Navigation in buttery smooth with a 90hz refresh rate screen. It’s got all the hardware you want under the hood with the latest Snapdragon processor on the market, 12GB of memory and 256GB of storage in the model I went with. It runs Android 10 with OxygenOS 10 UI which has always been good about giving the user great performance without shoving bloatware down your throat (it’s there but not in your face) They went away from the notch on the 6 and moved to a hole punch selfie camera on the 8 which really opens up the screen space. The rear cameras are high-powered topping out at 48MP and takes superb pictures and videos. The 4300 mAh battery has already lasted me a complete day and some change including a twelve-hour shift at work as an IT professional when I’m constantly using my phone to perform tasks. The warp charger is insanely fast as I can go to empty to a full charge in about 45 minutes. What it lacks, I don’t miss. The headphone jack is no more from the 6 but most all phones have said goodbye to that relic from yesteryear. I don’t want to pay a premium for an IP68 rating (just get a SUPCASE Unicorn Beetle case and thank me later) nor do I care about wireless charging. If those things are important to you, pay the extra $100-200 and upgrade to the OnePlus 8 Pro. While the phone is 5g capable, unless you’re on T-Mobile, you will likely only see 4G LTE if you’re like me (AT&T) since the device is ahead of the carriers in terms of coverage and compatibility. The best Android experience around all at an affordable price point in the top tier of flagship devices. This is the smartphone you want. Don’t hesitate and purchase with supreme confidence.Pros• Smooth 90hz refresh rate• Snapdragon 865• 256GB of Storage and 12GB of memory• GSM Unlocked (AT&T, T-Mobile, etc)• Fast 30w WARP charging• 5G capable• Great picture quality• In screen fingerprint reader• Price is still exceptional compared to other flagship phones with similar specsCons• No IP68 dust/water resistant rating• Storage not expandable• No headphone jack• Lacks wireless charging• 5G currently only compatible on T-Mobile

I’ll just begin by saying this is the best device on the planet. Obviously, it’s bro is due very soon. However, it will remain at the top of any list this year and beyond. I do not purchase devices based on cameras or camera performance. So, my review pertains to its strength based on its purpose, and performance, as a phone. I understand that may not be a popular position, and it doesn’t mean that I won’t mention camera functionality. Here’s my short. Its display is brilliant. Colors are excellently saturated, and it produces a three dimensional picture. Sometimes, I think it’s more entertaining watching videos, and movies, on my devices. I can’t say that it’s a result of its 120-hertz refresh rate. Honestly, many 60-hertz displays can easily challenge the 8 Pro. I believe that the One Plus engineers are invaluable in this industry. It does have a new motion processor that is fun to use. This is different from the refresh rate. I appreciate it, and I’m not aware of any other phone that exists with that technology. I may be wrong. A few apps support this processing, such as Netflix, Prime and YouTube. It definitely sets itself apart from other devices on the market. Dolby Atmos audio speaker performance is great. I wish that manufacturers would revert back to front firing speakers. Thinking about those Pixel 2XL days. However, stereo separation is great from it’s ear and downfiring speakers. Phone performance is great. I have no issues with calls or its 5G performance. I have to say that their Oxygen OS software is a step above stock Droid. Its Snapdragon chip is very good. Gaming is also good with very little video or audio lag. I Iike it’s gaming processing. What I mean is it shuts down many other functions while it processes your choice of games. At times, it may get warm when gaming or watching videos. As with any other device, you can take proper steps to allow to cool, or not.Camera and video performance are good to excellent for those of you that appreciate camera capabilities. In my opinion, there aren’t many devices on the market that are bad camera performers. Unless, you’re a cameraphile, the average consumer will be just fine. If you’ve never owned a One Plus device, you will be pleasantly surprised with their performance. It’s been fun. I highly recommend this device.

This is my first Oneplus phone, I opted for the non-pro version because of the slightly smaller screen, and the fact that the hardware specs I care about were identical on both (90hz is more than enough for me, and going from 60hz to 90hz is much more important than 90hz to 120hz). It’s definitely fast and powerful, and in terms of running apps smoothy, is as good as any flagship Samsung or iPhone right now.The main con for me is that there’s no external storage options, which is the one thing I miss the most from the S10e I replaced this with. The 256GB version certainly comes with enough storage, but I definitely miss the convenience of being able to pop the card out from one phone and put it in the other and keep all my music and pictures on it without having to sync to anything.My other main issue has to do with the OS. There’s a volume slider on the side, which is fine, but you can’t actually put the phone on vibrate or silent in the software itself, which really sucks since most of the cases for this phone so far require you to dig your finger in there and basically claw at your phone to silence it.My other gripes are more with the industry as a whole right now which this phone copied, so they are problems with pretty much any good phone right now. Curved screens might look cool but they are actually a spectacular pain to use, especially if you are using apps that require touches at the very edges of the screen, not to mention putting screen protectors on them is also a huge pain. Also I’m a guy with big hands and I can barely use this thing one handed, most apps don’t even support the ridiculously long 6.5 inch screen anyway, so it’s not like things even look better on it. This might be mitigated if the OS offered a good one handed mode options, but you are stuck with whatever is on the play store if you want to attempt that with this OS.I like the phone enough that I’ll definitely consider Oneplus phones in another couple of years when I might upgrade again though (I like it overall better than Samsung that I have my own gripes with), I just hope OP offers a version with a smaller, flat screen, and adds external storage options, and it would be almost a completely perfect phone.

I was in the market for a new phone as my OnePlus 6T was on its last leg, charging port no longer working, and the battery wasn’t lasting as long as it use to.So far this phone has been great. It charges fast with my old OnePlus 30w Brick, the camera is great, storage is fantastic, wireless charging is awesome and I dont have to worry about wearing out the usb C port as fast. The menus, user interface, and overall build of the phone seem to be very solid so far.I havent experienced any of the green tint issues that were happening with this phone for other users last year and hoping that doesnt pop up at some point.My two gripes at the moment are cell signal and bluetooth. I work in a building with a metal roof pretty far from a cell tower but with my OnePLus 6T I never had less than 4 bars, calls were clear, and I never missed a call, text, etc.Since switching to the OnePlus 8 Pro my cell signal is significantly worse. No one can hear me while I’m inside the building anymore, sometimes I even wont receive calls until the last ring and by then the caller hangs up. I am using the same sim card as I was before on the same network as before. My APN is set correctly so it’s definitely a phone issue.Bluetooth: While music will play through the car, earbuds, speakers no problem and at a decently loud volume, bluetooth calls however are terribly quiet. I never had any of these issues with my OnePlus 6T but in my vehicle I have to turn my phone and vehicles volumes to max to even barely hear the person on the other end, same with my bluetooth ear piece. Again music plays fine, audio calls do not. I have not found any changeable settings that allow me to correct his and it still is an issue at the moment. I have yet to find a third party app to bypass the bluetooth volume limit when on a call.

Pro:Price good deal for the spec.Fast processor, sharp amoled screen.Fingerprint is good.Oxygen OS is like stock android, pretty easy to use.Camera software is good, like how it handle light source.Dual sims, unlocked, compatible with AT&T, Tmobile and Verizon (yes IMEI checked out with verizon)Fast charging, yes faster than Iphone 13. It has smart charge software control, can prolong charging for less heat. Battery life is good.Con: Some cons are subjective as compared to my previous phone (Huawei Mate 20)Fingerprint is on screen, less sensitive than my old phone which had dedicated finger print sensor behind the phone.Battery life seems less than my old phone, this is strange since Oneplus 8 has high endurance rating than the Mate 20. Could also due to Kirin chipset throttling better at power management.Oxygen OS has some quirks, just need to play with the settings e.g. default messaging app has MMS turned off for group texting. It would send individual sms to each recipient by default, or no way to close default music app locked in top notification bar without force stop.Heat dissipation/distribution: During initial setup, notice Oneplus 8 heat felt in one region of the phone. My old phone distribute and dissipate heat better. This is only a concern under intense usage, no heat issue during normal usage.No 3.5mm jack.No memory card slot.Speaker: playing music has tiny distortion from the vibration of the back plate. This effect is little, only affects certain type of music.Overall is good deal for the price.

I’ve been a Pixel person for many years now, but didn’t have many options for an unlocked phone with near stockish Android and decent battery life.I will start by saying the phone doesn’t have Alexa installed and it isn’t required. Anyone giving it a poor review for that is misinformed.This phone seemed to be a better fit than a newer Pixel, but I was concerned with camera quality. The photos I’ve taken look really great and the camera app is very similar to the others I’ve used. I’ve taken several hundred pics since owning the phone and they have turned out almost as good (in some cases even better) than the ones taken with my Pixel 2 XL.I’ve installed all of my apps and been using it heavily and it gets significantly better battery life than my other phones. This was a big complaint and one of my primary reasons to upgrade. The screen on the 8 is really bright in Auto and adjusts well to surrounding light. Leaving the phone to adjust automatically has been fine most of the time and I rarely change it myself.The Warp Charging is absolutely amazing. Plugging it in for a short amount of time charges the battery up enough to use for hours. This wasn’t really a huge selling point for me, but it did make me quite happy when I used it.The build quality and looks are impressive too. It just feels like a premium phone. The Interstellar Glow is an interesting color choice and it looks sogood in person. Any clear case will show off it’s iridescent shine.Software has been a big win here. The simplicity of stock Android has always been appealing to me and getting away from that has been hard. You don’t realize how much you were missing until you start using something like Oxygen OS on a OnePlus phone. You can change the icons on the entire phone with icon packs downloaded from Play Store. You can change the status bar, system icons, the color and shapes. So many things can be customized and it is so smooth.I was worried that I would spend the money to be let down, but this has been a great purchase. I’m happy with it and can’t say enough good things about my new phone.

I have to say that at first I was very happy with this phone. Until I found out that the 5MP color filter camera lens is just a placebo. There is a feature that we all pay for as part of this $900 (plus) price tag that we are not getting.One feature, and the only feature that uses this lens is the Photochrom feature. I have come to find that after some public complaints about this photo feature they have disabled it and now the camera lens is just sitting there having no purpose and we are paying for this hardware in the cost of the phone.I certainly will be searching for others that are complaining about this and join in with them in whatever solutions they have come up with. But it is in my best interest to not pay for things I do not receive.I’m sure this feature has an added cost of possibly hundreds of dollars and if we are being denied the use of it we should be compensated by OnePlus for having removed it. They should refund us for the feature and they should reduce the ongoing cost of the phone accordingly.In fact they are still advertising the feature even though it doesn’t exist on their web page. In the specifications for this phone it states a 5MP color filter camera lens. It doesn’t state a 5MP unused camera lens. It is supposed to be present specifically for the Photochrom photo filter feature that is no longer present.There are other quirks that I can mention about this phone but compared to being charged for things I cannot use is bad enough.Amazon has been very good about everything though. They have been very helpful. The first one I received had an issue where there was no response to touch on the screen and they promptly replaced it for me. Great job Amazon. Thanks.
