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;

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;

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.

I’ve done dozens of smartphone reviews from budget Android devices to the very best iPhone and Samsung Galaxy on the market. As a matter of fact, my daily driver has been the iPhone 12 Pro Max since its release.

Slim, clean, and modern design, Great premium feel and build, Amazing 120 Hz Fluid AMOLED display, Oxygen OS is the best looking version of Android, 12GB of RAM and the Snapdragon 865 give great performance, Cameras are great, not the best in the industry but great, Excellent battery life, Great...

Pre-installed screen protector is sticky and not worth keeping on, Dual speakers sound just okay, better than most for sure but not as good as some flagships, Cameras are great but some users may look to more expensive flagships for slightly better 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.

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

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

OnePlus 8T is a terrific addition to the cluttered upper mid-range market, taking on Google and Samsung at every turn. While it may not be a OnePlus 8T Pro, the 8T still offers stunning performance and strong value for money.

OnePlus 8T Software And User Experience Based on early beta reports, we were a little trepidatious about OxygenOS 11. See, OnePlus was rumored to be making significant changes away from stock Android. We’re glad to report that all is well in OxygenOS land.

Beautiful 120Hz display; Fantastic performance; Decent battery life; Fast 65W charging; Delightful user experience; Almost stock Android

Too expensive; No telephoto camera; No wireless charging; No headphone jack
