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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Thinner, lighter, and prettier than the Pro
The phone to beat in 2020
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.
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 gets over the 5G upgrade hump in style. The camera’s no better, it’s worse in one way, but we get a style upgrade and an only slight jump in cost.
Excellent power and performance; 5G (and no massive price hike); 2020 curves
Camera not as versatile as last time around
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.
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
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.

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.
