Thinner, lighter, and prettier than the Pro
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.

Being happy with what you have is easy as long as you don’t dream too much
Killer display; Exemplary build quality; Fun cameras; fast charging; 5G and Wi-Fi 6
Software bugs; Sometimes software doesn’t make a lot of sense; No zoom lens on OnePlus 8; high price tag in Canada
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 does everything you want it to and is a great daily partner, but fails to deliver a standout reason to buy.”
Pretty design; Excellent software; Long battery life and fast charging; Good everyday camera
No wireless charging; Not IP68 water resistant; No standout camera feature
The OnePlus 8 does an above-average job of handling audio compared to the devices we’ve tested. In particular, its recording performance is well above that of the 8 Pro and the Galaxy S20+, the two phones we most closely compared it with.

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
No telephoto camera; No wireless charging; Price hike over predecessor
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.
My gut instinct is just telling me to tell you to buy this phone. It starts at $699 and has a ton of great features. If it weren’t for an ever-so-slightly inconsistent camera, I’d already be calling it POTY (phone of the year).

With the 7 and 7 Pro, OnePlus made the choice for consumers very simple. The Pro packed so much more of a punch whilst the 7 felt like a year-old smartphone in a fancy new dress. With the 7T and 7T Pro, the gap was reduced significantly, almost to the point where many consumers opted for the cheaper...
Does the smaller, less-feature-rich OnePlus 8 deserve your cash, or should you stick to the true flagship?...
