OnePlus 8 Full Review. Hey, what's up, bro. One plus was known in the past for Flagship killer phones that offer a ton of great features for the money. But now we had the Oneplus 8 series which are the most expensive models so far. The vanilla one naturally offers a bit less than the Pro one.

 So it is even worth upgrading to. let's find out in our oneplus eight reviews. OnePlus phones have always had awesome build quality, and the oneplus continues that tradition. is actually really similar looks wise to last year's models, except that it is a bit taller and more narrow.

Ours is in the glacial green color and the Frosted finish is Silky Smooth. This helps add a bit of grip together with the matte aluminum frame. And the phone is resistant to unsightly fingerprints too.

One big change in this year's oneplus lineup is the addition of ip68 water and dust resistance.

It's a welcome change. They will just know that only oneplus 8 sold by certain US carriers have the official certification on paper. Another change in this year's models is that you won't find a flat-screen. They're all curve now, which you may or may not prefer.

OnePlus keeps experimenting with solutions for the selfie cam. Unlike The Notches are pop-up. Selfie cams. Our previous models the 1 plus 8 has a small punch hole cut out, which is hyda ball with a black bar. This is one of the best screens we've seen in this class. It supports a fast 90 hurts refresh rate. So content on the screen looks more fluid and smooth you get those deep Hamlet blacks and Punchy colors, though. These can be tuned to be quite accurate in settings. Max brightness is excellent to about 500 nits in manual mode up to 800 in auto mode when I'm bright conditions. The optical fingerprint reader says under the display and it feels quite comfortable to use and super responsive to wake up and unlock the phone. For audio, the one plus eight is equipped with stereo loudspeakers. It's a hybrid set up with the top speaker doubling as the phone's earpiece for calls. Performance is great. The speakers are pretty well balanced, but excellent loudness Lively mids and highs and decent base. It comes as no surprise that there's no headphone. Jack on the 1 plus 8, so you Use USBC all wireless headphones or carry around a 3.5 millimeter adapter for standard ones. You don't get expandable storage either but at least the internal storage isn't too tiny you get the choice of a hundred twenty-eight or 256 gigs. The phone runs on one plus has oxygen OS 10 based on Android tablet as always oxygen OS provides a nearly stock Android experience, which is quite clean Snappy and blowed free. One of the only changes with the new version is that dark mode 2.0 offers better integration with third-party apps. Otherwise, there are many custom features here. Most of them are provided through Google's apps and services. One reason why the OS feel so Snappy. So 1 plus 8 powerful Snapdragon 865 chipset performance wise. This is one of the best Android phones out there right now and you shouldn't expect any hiccups in everyday use the chips are also supports those faster 5G Network speeds if those are available and gaming performance is awesome. The 1% battery life is about Of to its batteries a little bigger this year at 4300 milliamp hours and it's scored an excellent endurance rating of a hundred and eight hours in a proprietary tests regardless of screen refresh rate charging speed is also quite competitive with this 30 watt charger. We were able to go from a dead battery to 69 percent in just half an hour. You don't get the wireless charging of the pro version here though. Now wonder the cameras there's a triple camera setup which includes a forty eight. Megapixel quad bare Mein Kampf a 16-megapixel Ultra wide-angle camera with fixed focus and a 2 megapixel macro cam instead of a telephoto like last year. What start off with the main care which is the same as last year's model photos come out in 12 megapixels, and they're decent colors are Punchy dynamic range is wide and details good. Sharpest could be better though, and there is some noise. You don't have a telephoto. Like I'm the one plus 70 instead Zoom shots are a crop from the main care these lack detail on our soft fuzzy and noisy. Orchard so taken with the main cab, and it does a good job subject separation is accurate and to defocus backgrounds generally look convincing. You can also do two times Zoom portraits, but due to the cropping and upscaling involved. You lose a good amount of detail and sharpness. The ultra wide camera is pretty good shots have excellent dynamic range and sharpening looks good. The images are overall still a bit soft though compared to the main camera. While you could take some nice macro shots for the ultra wide last year since it had ever Focus this year that role has been taken up by the 2 megapixel macro. Can it actually has fixed Focus. So getting a Sharp Photo take some trial and error and the quality isn't very impressive. Now on to low light photography these results from the main camera. Just okay dynamic range is good and the colors look nice, but there's plenty of noise detail is lacking and sharpness could be better. We didn't see any major improvement over the previous generation of one plus foams. Night mode does help with the quality a lockdown. It eliminates the noise brings out more detail from the shadows and highlights and add some sharpness. The whole process is quite fast to almost as if you're shooting in the normal photo mode the ultra wide camera like most out there isn't good in the dark and produces some soft and noisy photos. The colors and dynamic range to match the main cameras, though. Turning on the night mode again. Add some much-needed sharpness reduces the noise and brings up more detail from the highlights and shadows. The 1 plus 8 16 megapixel. Selfie camera is quite good. It produces sharp and colorful pictures with Rich detail and wide dynamic range. The selfie portrait mode looks just as good as the portrait mode from the main camera to the edge detection is surprisingly accurate. I got two videos the main cam can shoot enough to 4K at 60fps is 4K footage looks nice color wise and has wide dynamic range good contrast and no noise, but sharpness is a little lacking here. The ultra wide camera can also shoot in 4k we found his footage should be pretty similar in quality to the main care though a bit on the softer side. Best electronic stabilization available for your 4K videos at 30 FPS which does a great job in smoothing things out and there's a 4K super steady mode which uses the ultra-wide lens and crops to create an even smoother effect. So that's a one plus eight. It's got a lot going for it. There's a beautiful frosted glass build which is water resistant and an awesome curved OLED screen with the high refresh rate. You get gray stereo speakers Flagship level performance and excellent battery life with fast charging. So what's the issue here? Well, it's the cameras that are pretty underwhelming you might even call. Downgrade it with a 1 plus 70 set up since you lose the telephoto and the ultra wide no longer has autofocus. But at the same time the price is a hundred euros more and while the 1 plus a does offer a little more than the 70 feature wise is still hasn't shortcomings compared to other flagships. It's sort of like in this Middle Ground between Flagship killer and full-on Flagship. That's hard to Justify by if you're looking for the most bang for your buck. Thanks for watching guys. Stay safe and see you on the next one.
