The OnePlus 8 is the 2020 line-up of smartphone from OnePlus. The device was announced alongside the Pro version . The phone specifications starts from a 6.55-inches FHD+ display with a Fluid AMOLED panel bearing 1080 x 2400 pixels resolution. It has 20:9 aspect ratio, and upto 90Hz refresh rate.

The OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro have suffered no shortage of leaks in the months leading up to today, but they are now truly official. I’ve got to admit, writing OnePlus reviews gets pretty repetitive — but mostly in a good way.

OnePlus exploded on the scene in 2014 with marketing swagger not befitting its status as a startup that had never launched a phone, but the company has matured and proved itself over the years.

Display The 90Hz OLED is smooth with excellent brightness and colors; Alert slider Great tactility and a super-convenient way to change your ringer mode; Fingerprint sensor The in-display fingerprint sensor is faster and more accurate—it's as good as the old capacitive sensors now.

No wireless charging The OnePlus 8 doesn't have wireless charging (Warp or standard) like the Pro; Macro camera The macro camera on this phone is not very good, and it replaced the vastly more useful telephoto lens from the 7T. This was a mistake.

OnePlus announced two new OnePlus phones in mid-April, the OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro. At a $699 starting price, the OnePlus 8 is the least expensive 5G phone available today and only gives up a few things seen in the OnePlus 8 Pro.

Support for low-band and mid-band 5G; 90 Hz display; Ample RAM and fast internal storage; Stunning color options; Responsive Oxygen OS UI

No wireless charging; No water/dust resistant rating

You could say that the OnePlus 8 is in no man's land in a way. While the Pro is all geared up to fight with the big boys - price-wise and feature-wise, that is. The 8, however, is considerably cheaper than the 8 Pro while still competing against flagship killers and high-value flagships.

Great build and ergonomics, the phone feels smaller than it actually is; Super bright, accurate and smooth 90Hz OLED screen; One of the best-sounding stereo speakers in town; Excellent battery life even in 90Hz mode; Competitive fast charging; OxygenOS with more features than ever.

The OnePlus 8 is a very good phone, but with the same screen and very similar camera, it's hard to justify the $100 premium over last year's 7T.

Fantastic speed and battery life; Very nice design with an excellent display, OxygenOS continues to impress

Not much of an improvement over the 7T, 5G drives the price up with little benefit; Starting price is $100 higher than the previous model's

The OnePlus 8 doesn't tick every box, but at this price it doesn't need to. Find out why in our full review

The OnePlus 8 is the lesser of two OnePlus smartphones released in the Spring of 2020. This device and the OnePlus 8 Pro are very similar, in many respects. Knowing the difference between the two could allow you to avoid spending a couple of hundred dollars more than you need.

Bright; sharp; colorful display; Display 120Hz image refresh rate; Fast wired charging (with included charger); Simple software with great potential for advanced users; Cameras capture great photos in most conditions

Punch hole is pro for some; con for others; No 3.5mm headphone jack; Different iteration needed for mmWave 5G

OnePlus has in the past positioned its phones as “flagship killers” that offered high-end hardware at a lower price than top-tier rivals, and the latest OnePlus 8 is no different in promising good value.

When smartphone companies launch new flagship models, we expect significant improvements over the previous models. Generally the OnePlus 8 comes with overall feature and performance improvements, but the camera system feels a little downgrade from OnePlus 7T.
