If you want pure performance, an excellent screen and some of the fastest charging around then the OnePlus 8T should be near the top of your list. The lower than usual for a flagship price makes it an even more tempting prospect.

Lovely display; Seriously fast charging; A performance champion; Already on Android 11

No IP rating; No wireless charging; Fairly useless secondary cameras

OnePlus has done it again: a superb smartphone at a very appealing price point. Although it has one or two weaknesses, and doesn't improve on its predecessors in any major way, the all-round package of the OnePlus 8T (and its retail price) mean that this is a winner.

65W fast charging speeds; Bright; sharp 120Hz display; Cool always on display settings

Better cameras out there; No wireless charging; Not a massive jump from the OnePlus 8

The OnePlus 8T is yet another top-spec, very well-priced, excellent phone from the Chinese smartphone brand. It has a great 120Hz screen, good build, attractive design, the very best of performance, good battery life, 5G, dual-sim and a good set of cameras.

great screen; top performance; good battery life; incredibly fast charging; good camera; great software; alert slider; top-notch build; 5G; dual-sim; superfast in-screen fingerprint scanner.

no headphone socket; no telephoto camera; no formal IP rating; only three years software updates; no wireless charging.

This OnePlus flagship has more in common with the OnePlus Nord than it does the OnePlus 8 series with which it shares its name, with a flat screen, rectangular camera protrusion, and glossy green glass rear.

Brilliant display - we like that it's flat; Super-fast charging; Speedy and smooth performance; Oxygen OS 11 is a refreshing take on Android

Cameras could still improve; No wireless charging; No official IP rating for dust/water resistance

The OnePlus 8T doesn’t change the game – particularly if you bought OnePlus 8 – but it is another great handset from the brand, with a stunning display, a unique look, good battery life and a camera that impresses.

Long-lasting battery; Beautiful display; Great software

No wireless charging; Lacklustre design; No telephoto camera

The OnePlus 8T is a conservative update that's made more convincing by a price drop compared to the 8, making it an incredibly competitive budget flagship - but an upgrade to the main camera is now long overdue.

120Hz display; 65W fast charging; Android 11

Aging camera; OnePlus Nord is better value

There’s been no significant bump to the OnePlus 8’s performance or camera credentials, however, and it’s debatable whether these incremental improvements necessitated a whole new phone.

Superb flat 120Hz screen; Fast performance; Ridiculously fast charging

Slightly expensive; Camera nothing special; Still no wireless charging

It’s not much of an upgrade but the OnePlus 8T is a solid phone, and software tweaks see a marked jump in low-light camera image quality.

Plenty of power and a sensible enough price; Improved low-light photography and video; Crowd-pleasing size; Super-fast charging

Disappointing battery life in 120Hz mode; Less fancy design than older OnePlus 8

A glorious 120Hz screen, fabulous performance and incredible battery life and charging – what more could you want from the OnePlus 8T?

Fast 65W charging; Excellent battery life; Nice design

No zoom camera; Lacks microSD card expansion; No water resistance

I’ve used the phone as my main handset for a week or two now. The green model I have is cheaper than the OnePlus 8 Pro but has the same CPU, the same memory, the same storage and a smaller screen which I actually found more suitable.
