OnePlus 8 5G 8GB 128GB
The OnePlus 8 5G is one of the more affordable 5G phones on the market. But there are many more reasons why you should check it out.
Frame to frame without a hitch
The 6.55" Fluid AMOLED Display goes seamlessly from one frame to the next, while the 90Hz refresh rate means you can swipe, scroll and navigate with ease. The colours on the display are bright and vibrant, backed up by HDR10+ High Dynamic Range video technology. Rounding it all off is the dual stereo speakers and a cinematic 3D listening experience with Dolby Atmos support.
What a shot
You'll capture some great shots with the 48MP Triple Camera system. Perfect portraits and professional video footage with greatly improved stabilisation are easy to achieve. The 116-degree ultra-wide-angle camera lets you capture the most beautiful panoramas, and the new macro lens allows you to take close ups 'til your heart's content. For selfies, there's a good quality 16MP front camera.
Performance Plus in the OnePlus
The OnePlus 8 5G includes the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 865, which delivers up to 25% faster performance than previous generations. Meanwhile, you can transfer photos, videos and files in the blink of an eye with the UFS 3.0 file management system.
The power of 5G
With 5G you can connect to several networks at the same time giving you extended coverage and faster downloads. This means movie downloads in just seconds, near-instant photo sharing and network coverage like never before. Because it automatically switches between 5G and non-5G networks, battery life is prolonged and your connection remains intact.

OnePlus 8 Review
OnePlus goes 5G. Improvements outside mobile internet aren't too dramatic, but this 5G transition is a smooth one.- 5G with no massive price hike
- Top-end processor
- Rich, bright OLED screen
- Rubbish macro camera
- No optical zoom
- Still missing wireless charging and an IP rating
OnePlus 8 Review
The OnePlus 8 delivers 5G flagship performance at a fair price, making it the right phone to buy for a new network in an economically uncertain time. OnePlus returns to its "flagship killer" roots with the OnePlus 8, the most affordable high-quality 5G phone T-Mobile and Verizon have to offer. Starting at $699, the 8's price is right and its feature set hits the sweet spot for providing a quality experience. For these reason we're awarding this relatively affordable flagship our Editor's Choice on the two carriers that sell it, although not on AT&T, where it lacks 5G support.Let's Start With Some Math OnePlus is releasing two phones right now. The OnePlus 8 is available unlocked, and also via T-Mobile and Verizon. The OnePlus 8 Pro is only available unlocked. The OnePlus 8, which I'm reviewing here, sticks with the company's old philosophy of cutting a few corners (mostly in terms of camera) to shave several hundred dollars off of flagship phone prices, and it succeeds. The 8 Pro takes on the Samsung Galaxy S20 line with exclusive features like high-speed wireless charging and the absolute best display performance in the ind...- Most affordable 5G phone
- Lovely screen
- Fast performance
- Elegant software
- Camera not quite as good as more expensive phones
- Lacks millimeter-wave 5G on T-Mobile
- No wireless charging
OnePlus 8 Onyx Black 8+128GB IN2010B review
Now that OnePlus has established itself as one of the major players in the smartphone world, there are certain things you can take for granted about its devices. They’ll likely have great screens, performance, and battery life.- 90Hz display
- Great battery life
- Solid performance
- Camera quality could still be better
- No wireless charging
- No IP rating (on the unlocked model)
OnePlus 8 Onyx Black 8+128GB IN2010B review
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.
OnePlus 8 Onyx Black 8+128GB IN2010B 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 8 Onyx Black 8+128GB IN2010B review
Sure, it's pricier than its predecessors, but this handset continues to deliver a flagship experience that costs hundreds less than an equivalent from most others. That's OnePlus' big selling point, delivered time and again.- Gorgeous finish - and not a fingerprint magent for once
- Strong battery life easily lasts a day
- Smooth software with useful gaming mode too
- Top-drawer processor means oodles of power
- Cameras aren't leading
- Excessive contrast at low brightness
- 90Hz of questionable benefit
- No wireless charging
- Would like a non-5G version to cut price down
OnePlus 8 Onyx Black 8+128GB IN2010B review
Update OnePlus devices are no longer your conventional Flagship Killers — they come close to flagship prices themselves. That’s not necessarily bad if they can deliver. And honestly, we had no doubt that the OnePlus 8 would — it’s fast, it’s pretty, it’s got a smooth refresh rate, and it’s fun to...- Great
- ergonomic design and feel
- Fantastic display
- Fast
- solid performance
- Meaningful feature set
- Camera quality lags behind competing flagships
- The storage-hungry might want larger options or microSD slot
- No telephoto camera
- macro camera is meaningless
- Speakers are harsh

OnePlus 8 review
Colour quirks aside, the OnePlus 8 is a fantastic flagship smartphone at an amazing price. You rarely get this quality level of design, features and performance at such good value. When the biggest let down is that the main camera can do a better job of close-ups than the macro lens, you know you have an excellent phone. The main thing is whether the Pro is enough to tempt you to splash out.
