The OnePlus 8 Pro has a gorgeous display, fast wireless charging, and excellent cameras—we just wish it had better network support.

Best display on any smartphone today; Fast performance; Very good camera; High-speed wireless charging

5G on T-Mobile only; Night mode still a bit behind competitors

It may not have the out-of-this-world cameras of some other “Pro” phones but this is one of the most sensible big-screen 5G buys

Good macro photos; Has 5G

Battery life isn’t the best; Poor zoom camera

If we're grading 2020 on a curve—and, boy, does it need it—these are technically the best smartphones we've seen so far. The 8 Pro is a better phone than the Galaxy S20+, and it's $300 cheaper.

The 120Hz display looks beautiful. It's brighter, it's faster, and it's a joy to use; Mostly stock Android with extra features is the model all OEMs should follow; OnePlus finally fixed some long-running user complaints, like the lack of wireless charging and an IP68 water-resistance rating.

There is still no always-on display; The fingerprint reader isn't any bigger or faster than last year; Curved displays offer no benefits, but they distort the display image and reflect glare; The hole punch front camera is a downgrade.

The OnePlus 8 Pro doesn't lean on gimmicks the way other 2020 flagship phones do, so it might not seem as immediately interesting. Don't be fooled, though: Between its excellent performance, well-thought-out software and one of the best smartphone screens we've ever seen, the OnePlus 8 Pro is a...

Phenomenal 6.78-inch display; OxygenOS is well-thought-out; Excellent performance; All models now support 5G; Sleeker and lighter design; Solid main camera

Fingerprint sensor has early issues; Lackluster telephoto camera; Video motion smoothing isn't for everyone

Even if it isn’t necessarily the best smartphone at one thing in particular, the OnePlus 8 Pro is an across the board corker that brings Sony’s latest smartphone camera sensor to a newly affordable price.

Stunning screen; Fast wireless charging; Stacks of power

Pricier than past OnePlus’s; No expandable storage; No periscope camera

OnePlus delivers its masterpiece with the 8 Pro. It's as fast as an arrow thanks to the combination of hardware and Oxygen OS 10. The display flies through long scrollable contents with at 120 frames per second and spoils the eyes with an absolutely smooth display even for games.

The OnePlus 8 Pro is the result of a relentless spec battle with Samsung. It’s an Android phone that spares almost no expense in the quest to include the most powerful, best hardware components. The result is the fastest Android phone experience money can buy — starting at $899.

Excellent build quality; Superb screen; Speedy wireless charging

Only available in one size: huge; Color camera is a pointless gimmick; Below-average dim-light photography

If you've been on the fence about premium Android phones, the OnePlus 8 Pro is a budget option with all the features.

The 8 Pro sees OnePlus get over an awkward hump. Expensive OnePlus phones are hard enough for long-term fans to swallow, and 5G has only made it more of a throat clogging issue. We have to pay £100 more this year. You do get other benefits besides 5G, like water resistance, wireless charging and a couple of top-quality cameras on the back. Is it worth the extra cash? Yes, just about. However, as the price of OnePlus phones carries on rising, we have to be more critical about the bad bits. Other high price phones last longer between charge and rivals are much better at taking photos of other people’s pets, which these days is more important than being able to make phone calls.

If a phone's screen is its window to the world, the OnePlus 8 Pro shows you the world more beautifully than any other device. The $899 flagship has a brighter, more color-accurate, and more responsive display than any other phone on the market, even the $1,200 Samsung Galaxy S20+. But in the US, the OnePlus 8 Pro has a weird limitation—it's only 5G on T-Mobile's network, and even then, it lacks high-speed millimeter-wave 5G. Any $900 phone this year should really have some form of 5G in it, so we're awarding our Editors' Choice to the more affordable, more widely 5G-compatible OnePlus 8.Design and Display Before we get into details, here's a quick rundown of how the OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro compare with the Samsung Galaxy S20 and Galaxy S20+ on some key differentiators. Note that we don't recommend the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra—not only is it $1,500, its camera doesn't work that well even after being patched. The OnePlus 8 Pro follows the recent trend toward relatively large p...
