Does the smaller, less-feature-rich OnePlus 8 deserve your cash, or should you stick to the true flagship?...

Gorgeous design Good display Outstanding performance Affordable Formidable battery life

No wireless charging Middling camera Not as full-featured as some competitors

There’s been little material advancement from the OnePlus 7T, however, with a camera that’s arguably a little worse, and all at a slightly more expensive price point. But with the addition of 5G and a slinky new design, the OnePlus 8 remains one of the very best phones you can buy for £600.

Excellent 90Hz screen; Great performance; Appealing design

Not as cheap as OnePlus phones used to be; Average camera

Minor changes, spiralling prices and an increasingly crowded market – the OnePlus 8 has a difficult road ahead

Colour accurate 90Hz screen; Second-best battery life we’ve tested; 5G for less

The phone to beat in 2020

The OnePlus 8 is a great phone at a good price, particularly when you consider you’re getting 5G flagship performance at £599, which undercuts rivals such as Samsung’s Galaxy S20 by about £300. You get a smartphone experience that’s second to none.

What you are getting with the OnePlus 8 is a rock-solid Android phone that doesn’t slow-burn a hole in your bank account. It has a very likeable personality and there is that simplicity with OxygenOS which remains priceless.

The OnePlus 8 sets the bar high for affordable flagships in 2020. While its design refinements borrow elements from other flagships, it's an undeniably sleek phone, with waterfall display edges and a punch-hole for the front-facing camera.

Affordable 5G connectivity; Impressive specs; Big 4,300mAh battery

Despite lacking an IP rating, mind-blowing camera quality, and wireless charging, the OnePlus 8 is still no doubt a solid flagship and is probably enough to satisfy anyone looking for this caliber of phone without having to shell out upwards of PHP50k.
