The OnePlus 8 Pro, for me, is the perfect phone. I am huge into media consumption, watching videos, gaming with emulators and listening to music and the OP8's screen and crazy fast processor make for an amazing experience. I also really like taking photos on my phone and the camera was my big issue with the previous OnePlus phones, but the 8 pro is a fantastic camera, especially with the GCam mod. The build quality is top tier, and Oxygen OS is my favorite version of android. My only big issue with the phone is the WIFI issues that you briefly mentioned towards the end, but it's more of an inconvenience and not a deal breaker. Overall, I can't recommend this phone enough, literally my favorite phone of all time.
@@VC777 No not really, I loved the O7 Pro screen with the pop out camera but I don't really notice the camera cutout. Whenever I watch videos or game on the phone, the punchout hole is typically on the bottom left near where my palm is, so I hardly ever noticed it.
@@SamsMangaReviews Personally i hate the shadows on the edges of the 8pro screen, caused by the aggressive curve. You can't escape them at any angle. I have been dying to switch back to 7pro since i got this phone on the launch, but i have just thought maybe suffer a little longer and i get used to the shadows, but seems like i don't. That's my only gripe though. No green tint and while the 7pro full screen was awesome, i guess the hole punch design isn't a deal breaker, at least not on it's own. EDIT: Oh and no idea about the wifi at all. We don't use wifi in my country.
@@jaybee0507 Interesting, I actually thought the curve was way more drastic on my OP7Pro compared to the 8. I know people really hate the curved displays but I really like them:) I can see why it frustrates others though
Switched to this from the iPhone 11 Pro Max. Honestly a million times more impressed with its cameras over the iPhone. OnePlus really made a generational leap in camera tech this year.
any idea how many years oneplus 8 will last until it breaks or don't work no more? I usually keep the phone until it breaks and I get a new one. how many years did previous oneplus last?
I've been using the 7 Pro for just over a year now. I love the pop up camera, I don't take a lot of selfies so having the full screen free for videos is awesome. I'm kind of bummed that more phones don't go with the pop up camera.
I have both and i think 7pro is better than 8pro. Mainly because the 7pro screen is flawless and yeah no hole punch, even though it's not a deal breaker. Perfect phone would be 8pro internals with 7pro body and screen. No image distorting aggressive curve on the display.
Why do you always go to the top end of the screen to get down the notification bar? I mean its oxygen os you can just swipe anywhere you want on the homescreen to get it down
I've had the oneplus 8 pro from the launch and i got to say that my fingerprint reader works flawlessly, wonder if its something to do with your specific phone
5:44 I think this happens only when you have the option enabled for face unlock to brighten the screen in the dark. It definitely is super annoying & just pokes your eyes. I have it disabled & happily use the finger print to unlock in the dark.

Current OP7 Pro owner, I don’t really use the camera so much anymore, hence why I did not upgrade and I also prefer the uninterrupted display without a punch-hole. My next OP or otherwise will most likely be when under screen cameras have been perfected.
No need to upgrade at all for me with my OP7pro, yet... It's been working great for me and doesn't slow down at all... Maybe a few software bugs here and there
I'm still using my OP7Pro, had since launch. Anyone else have the connectivity issues? I feel like it's planned obsolescence cause it used to be lightning quick. Also battery life has gotten pretty bad
I'm using the 8 5g and I love it I keep seeing people say the camera isn't flagship but with the GCam apk it looks nearly identical to a pixel plus it's God tier at connectivity with 4x4 mimo 5g antennas and wifi 6 with the ability to do wifi 6 hotspots
Been using 8pro for 2 months now. I had been using the oneplus 6 prior to this. Overall, I think it is a good phone. Nothing stands out, but everything is good enough for me. I will talk about the points that are important to me in order. 1. Battery life is ok. My morning commute is around 1.5 hours and I am constantly web browsing and playing games while listening to music in the background. During the day I will go through my phone once a while. By around 5pm, my battery will be at around 40%. Personally I don't feel comfortable with my battery is below 50% since I live in China and the phone is used for EVERYTHING. So I charge it up for 20min before I leave work. One of the best things about the 8pro is the warp charge. in 20minutes, I can get back to around 80%, which will last me for the ride home and rest of the night. 2. Screen is good and bad. The image quality is excellent. Personally I think the 120hz is great, but I have decided to turn it off to save battery. I manually turn it back on when I want to play games or whatnot. The bad part is the curve. Just like what the blogger said, I constantly finding my palm hitting the side of the phone and opening up random apps. Even sometimes when I am trying to select something and it doesn't respond, it is because a tip of my finger is touching the side of the screen. It gets annoying at times to the point where I am consciously aware of it. 3. Operating system. Since I got this phone in China, I am using the hydrogenOS. This is one of the main reasons why I chose oneplus over xiaomi or huawei. I enjoy their fast updates and minimalistic design. However, there are times where my apps would freeze or crash. This hardly ever happened on my oneplus 6 or pixel 2plus. One last thing I want to say is this phone is long and heavy. After holding it up for an extended period of time, your arms will get tired. Of course, every phone has their faults, in my opinion, there is no phone out there that I rather have right now than the oneplus 8 pro.
@@pavan.11 I did not experience any display problems. Although lately the screen freezes like it is loading a page when I am browsing. I switch apps and come back and everything is fine. Although I feel like if I waited 2 secs, it would've loaded, but still it doesn't feel right.
@@juvenalmachado7693 I do use a case, it is thin and it doesn't cover the sides. So yes the accidental touches still exist. It just makes holding the phone with one hand extremely difficult at times. Still, this is just nitpicking.
Great video, I believe long term use review are more relevant than new entries poducts. It gives a closer feedback to what common user will experience, software fix and everything.
I've been debating on getting this phone for months. Now it is $100 off and I am even more considering it since I get a student discount too. It's just such a lot of money still. My last Huawei was $400 and it has lasted me over 4 years now, but since it is not being updated in the US anymore, I need a new phone. I might cave and buy this.
My note 9 had its GPU drivers burn my screen (green tint now). Many people are having the same issue, I bought the OnePlus 7 Pro just because of full screen. I can't believe the 8 Pro went back and made hole punch when they had the best front camera in the industry with the 7 pro
I have small hands and use a two handed use of my phone. I used one hand with my OnePlus 7 Pro and dropped it. So I don't take anymore chances. I also just downloaded the Android 11 open beta 1 and love the new look. Many people think this is a copy of one UI, but I really don't care that much about that I just enjoy the phone it's very snappy fast and wonderful. There are a lot of nice new features in Android 11 and oxygen OS 11. The new look is very nice and still a very OnePlus feel. That's my thoughts have a nice day. Thank you for your hard work on this video and looking forward to the next.
Loved the photos you took, nice to see a reviewer taking some QUALITY images with the phone, not just photographing any random 💩 😆. Love your photography style.
any idea how many years oneplus 8 will last until it breaks or don't work no more? I usually keep the phone until it breaks and I get a new one. how many years did previous oneplus last?
I plan on making the jump from iPhone 11 to this. I feel like this has lots of features I'm missing out on a lot of features like the in-screen fingerprint scanner and higher refresh rate. Worth the jump?
Still rocking my OP5T. OP8 Pro is very tempting, but I will wait and see what next year's OP9 is gonna offer. Hopefully, they have fixed the issues with OP8 and gone away from the curved screen.
@@raresmacovei8382 The 5T is still a decent phone yes. But the camera is of the reasons upgrade. The 5T will then be given to one of the kids instead. And hopefully, it will survive the next 2-3 years.
I love my 8 pro , I got it after 10 years of iphones . Gotta say I haven't had finger print issues . The screen is great for content which I see a lot on my phone
Completely agree with the review asides the fingerprint sensor. I've been using the phone for 3 months now and didnt have any issues with the fingerprint sensor ( yeah the screen brightness thing used to be annoying but after an update only the sensor area lights up now and my finger covers this area anyways). I also like curved displays so thats not an issue for me but I guess that's down to personal preference
I got a Oneplus 7 pro mint for $250. 90hz screen is more than enough esp no hole punch camera! I hoped that they would keep that on the 8 pro, so i'll be sticking with my 7 pro
Don't have the slightest problems with curved edges and random touching, neither the under screen fingerprint sensor, works every single time smooth and quick. This is a killer phone in any aspect, had mine since the very first release date.
Watching on OP 8 Pro, and can agree with the entire video, the phone has its quarks but I don't regret getting the max out version, it's an awesome device.
I just wanted Oneplus 8 pro specs in non-pro body..... I love the form factor & weight of oneplus 8, thats why i bought it! I wish it had good cameras, Still happy!
Used the 8 pro for 2 months n some days, upgraded to it from OP3 of 2016. Overall it's a great phone, good battery life, great specs & best of all you can take it out for a swim.👌 Also for me the curved display gives it a premium feel. This is set to last 4 yrs & then I pick myself the OP 12 pro.😉
Other companies make budget phones too. Cheaper parts and specs. They all do this. It's not evil. U just don't see the whole picture. It's a free market. You buy it or you don't.
U had me until u got to the notification drop down. U can swipe anywhere on the screen and get that down. If you don't know the ins and outs of the software u can't make a realistic video about gripes. Lack of knowledge isn't a complaint. But otherwise good vid. Cheers!
Even all these months later, I think it's safe to say this is the best Android phone on the market. If only manufacturers would start making smaller flagships again, like Apple does.
For the problem with the fingerprint blinding situation... On my 1+ 7 pro only the fingerprint scanner itself lights up, which is coverd by the finger, so it doenst blind me at all. So if the entire screen gets bright on the 8 pro, why dont you just use a black picture as a lock screen wallpaper?
Been using oneplus 8 for almost a month now. I love how it feels in the hand. The 90hz is silky smooth, love the Oxygen os so much that instead of buying other brand i stick on the oneplus. Man why every reviewer hates this phone? I don't get it. Its not that bad the SoC is really great the camera is pretty good specially the nightsight. Give OnePlus 8 some love! Also has a not so aggressive curve edges which most reviewer prefer. ✌️
@@sarveshsivakumar6993 and still they hate oneplus 8 those who recommend 7T and 7T pro are the ones who never used the phone. Just plain watching phone reviews 😂
I have subbed to this channel after this review. I have watched so many phone reviews over the past weeks...Man...It's hard to find people who are honest. And show the whole picture. Thank you so much. This is a great find. I trust these reviews going forward - you have a new subscriber!
First time here and you got a new sub. I love the tone you use to explain, it's like a casual conversation. Yesterday I saw a video at .75 speed because the guy was speaking so fast I couldn't understand. It was like trying to read the credits at the end of a movie.🤯
I just got mine literally a week ago, and I haven't had any issues with the fingerprint scanner at night as my thumb covers the entire sensor, and I have a pretty decent case from Amazon that completely nullifies the accidental touches with the curved display, so maybe that might help for perspective buyers.
Are you noticing any screen tint issues or ghosting along the top bar with battery etc? This has been a huge problem with the OnePlus 8 Pro users. It terrified me from buying the phone.
@@kzgc8y3n not at all. The only issue is palm rejection without a case, but I like the curved display so I'm okay with it. I have had it for 2 months now, and I've gotten use to holding it so that I avoid accidental touches. But not ghost touches or weird tints whatsoever.
Are you noticing any screen tint issues or ghosting along the top bar with battery etc? This has been a huge problem with the OnePlus 8 Pro users. It terrified me from buying the phone. I guess there is terrible green tint that can turn magenta due to software. Then the glass has ghosting along the top so you always see the notification bar. In low dim settings the colours are totally wrong, and then they just adjusted it so the dim setting is no longer dim, it's still bright. Has anyone got this phone recently and avoided these issues?
I think this phone is the perfect combination between resolution and high refresh rate. Never seen any other phone like this, honestly. But still I would prefer a side mounted finger print sensor than the on screen finger print scanner. Great review, really like it.
Man, going back to this review again and again. This is my dream phone, I mean, the looks and everything is so gorgeous. Currently using the s21plus and I'm thinking of swapping it for this. I don't know if it's wise or what, but just thinking of it.
Personally I've been using the OP8 Pro since it comes out, Overall it's a great phone. I agree with you about the curve display which is annoying sometimes, but about the fingerprint sensor it works for me every time to be honest. The only issue I'm facing right now is with google chrome on my phone, it's laggy and sometimes it stucks for some unknown reasons and I have to close chrome and to reopen it again. I have faced the same issue of chrome on my previous OP6 and I have seen a lot of people in OnePlus community app talking about the same issue. But overall I really like the phone, basically it's a beast 🔥 ( Sorry for my average english btw 😅 ) Keep up the good work, I love your videos.
Still rocking my OP5. Apart from the camera (obviously cameras have gone ahead) i love the Phone. Fingerprint sensor at the front is comfortable to me. Still runs buttery smooth with no issues. So, not planning on upgrading anytime soon.
Mine is a bit quirky now, Wifi/4G issues and the battery is only at 83% max capacity, which is fine after more than 3 years. Don't wanna lose my headphone jack...
I bought an 8 pro right away, coming from Samsung. I had to get familiar with it first, but now, I really love it. First of all - the color: I have the green one, and OMG!!! it's gorgeous! I got the 12GB/256 GB one so in terms of specs I'm happy with it. the display is great, but I don't like that the brightness, at its minimum, it's still kinda bright (at least, compared with the Samsung I had) and also, the same thing with the fingerprint - for me it's working flawlessly, but the sensor gets too bright. overall, I'm happy with the choice I made (between Oneplus 8 pro, Samsung 20+, and Xiaomi mi 10 pro)
Congrats, same for me am still looking forward s20+ & OP8 pro But Did you face any screen issues ( black crush, green tint ) ?? I need to know cause 99% of people said they returned their phones, So am confused :/
@@BigBossYounus hey! to be honest, I faced no issues until now! the only thing I don't like about the screen is that even at minimum brightness, it's still kinda bright
Throw away the worthless fingerprint readers that never work if you actually use your hands for work and don't just sit at a desk (same goes for does stupid glas backside, want aluminum or plastic back) Also 3.5mm audio jack back now!
@@anuragsingh9557 Not available here and it's to much of a hasel to import and get it to work. Also use special programs at work where the phonemodel has to be approved by the company (not even apple is 😂😂😂)
Im a OP6T user right now, I really like the user experience and I would like to upgrade it, but I'm not sure if I should go for the 7T Pro, the 8 or the 8 Pro
I own OnePlus 8 pro and there are 4 cameras for start, the filter camera in my unit at least doesn't work at all, the software just takes the regular camera and put a regular filter over it. At the first 2 weeks the filter camera worked just fine but after that it stopped.
Oneplus patched the filter camera out because there was some wonky business (being able to see through some materials) with it. Not sure when they will bring it back.
@@Eiensakura I know that, but in the beginning I could have seen fabric and other materials in different colors using the unique camera but now I see this awful filter that is just a regular filter over the main camera. When I enter the filter below is written that there is a need for more light, this message is written always when I'm using this filter option and no matter if I'm in a dark room or at 1 PM outside.
I have an s21 ultra on pre order. It comes with a neat 200$ bonus so I got all the necessary accessories with it. I currently use a OnePlus 7 pro, but I'm considering buying an 8 pro instead of the s21 ultra. Is it worth it to save the extra 400-500$? I'm a camera junkie and the one thing that interests me in the s21 ultra is that amazing camera
As an owner of both an iPhone 11Pro Max and a OnePlus 7Pro, I enjoy WARP charge waaaaaaaay more than wireless charging. These phones have amazing battery life, so I don't really need wireless chargers all around the house to keep up. What I can say is that, as a long time iPhone user, OnePlus delivers the best android experience I have ever tried. I've wanted to leave iOS for a while, but I don't like Samsung's software and implementations, and Google's is really good, but the Pixels ALWAYS have hardware problems. Just look at the batteries on the Pixel 3 family. The weakest link of OnePlus has always been camera performance, but the 7Pro I have produces amazing pictures with gcam... so I can bet the 8Pro's are even better. So if you're thinking about jumping the boat of just trying OnePlus as a brand, just do it. You'll definitively find an amazing product made to perform fast, and to last.
I bought the OP8Pro in december, and after 7-10 days it had burn-in and insane image retention. Oh and it also has the green tint thing. So even after after all the updates, and a later production date, it still seems to have issues. I managed to get rid of most of the burn-in via anti burn-in apps, but the image retention is annoying. Static images, even just being static for 10 seconds or so, will stay visible for another 5-10 seconds, specially on a grey background. The curved edges isnt much of a problem for me, as I use a case on the phone. Edit: Because of the insane image retention on this phone, I would be very carefull with gaming on it.
I was "fanboy" Samsung Galaxy S...and I had a lot of smartphones Galaxy S but my last was S10 considering I live in Europe I was forced to buy Exynos but anymore. I want to have charger in box...I have bought OP 8 Pro recently and Snapdragon is ultra fast and oxygen is amazing although I get used to using still.
the price is just on the great side in INDIA if anyone from INDIA wants to get a powerful and kind of a gaming phone you should consider this phone because i have been using this phone since 3 months and man i'm just loving this phone it's super fast , it's good looking and it's a beast phone i have been using oneplus phones in the past . I started my journey in oneplus since they launched the ONEPLUS 2 and TBH that phone still works fabulous no issues at all after that i bought 3T then 5 and OP5 was the top notch phone for me at least because i really enjoyed using that phone and i was waiting for this phone to be launched so i had a great time with OP5 and then i bought this beauty ...... It's great , it's phenomenal , it's ummm what to say it's a value for money phone ......If you're planning to buy it just go for it.
Watching this video on my OnePlus 8 pro.... Brought this in December.... Lol after fixing the issues 😁....I Love my phone a lottttttttt...... Means a lot ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I currently own OP5 and with news of no OP8T Pro and your fantastic review along with pictures I convinced to buy this over OP8. Specially considering that wide angle of this phone is same sensor as OP7T. Great review! Subbed.
Strangely I've had none of the palm rejection issues but maybe it's because I used a Galaxy S7 Edge for years previously and learned to deal with it? I also don't have any functional issues with the fingerprint scanner but you're definitely right about the flashbang in the dark. Best phone I've ever had.
bought this exact phone wit that exact case on releaseday, im super happy with the phone but i am a little bit sad that they removed the pop up camera instead of perfecting it
Stop crying so much about the curved screen ffs! The curved screen first makes it look like a real premium flagship, you can use it to access the edge panels like Samsung (ok gotta download an app for it but still) and I NEVER had problems with it!
Not gonna lie the pictures you took were really legit though ✨

@@juvenalmachado7693 I do use a case, it is thin and it doesn't cover the sides. So yes the accidental touches still exist. It just makes holding the phone with one hand extremely difficult at times. Still, this is just nitpicking.
Your photographs were really pretty and well composed!
Great video, I believe long term use review are more relevant than new entries poducts.
It gives a closer feedback to what common user will experience, software fix and everything.
3:10 this wouldnt be a problem if you use a case.
Watching this on my blue OnePlus 8 Pro
Definitely one of my favourite phones of this year.
Great production quality as always!
I just ordered mine! Can’t wait to get my hands on it! Thanks for the review! :D
@@Andy-pm6rp 8 pro is actually on offer at least in Canada right now lol tempted to pull the trigger
I've been debating on getting this phone for months. Now it is $100 off and I am even more considering it since I get a student discount too. It's just such a lot of money still. My last Huawei was $400 and it has lasted me over 4 years now, but since it is not being updated in the US anymore, I need a new phone. I might cave and buy this.
My note 9 had its GPU drivers burn my screen (green tint now). Many people are having the same issue, I bought the OnePlus 7 Pro just because of full screen. I can't believe the 8 Pro went back and made hole punch when they had the best front camera in the industry with the 7 pro
That was made to have water resistance, the pop-up front camera doesn't allow this.
Maybe modders will bring the photocrom sensor back! I personally love that thing.
Switched from the 11 Pro Max to this and never been happier!
Why??
I have small hands and use a two handed use of my phone. I used one hand with my OnePlus 7 Pro and dropped it. So I don't take anymore chances.
I also just downloaded the Android 11 open beta 1 and love the new look. Many people think this is a copy of one UI, but I really don't care that much about that I just enjoy the phone it's very snappy fast and wonderful. There are a lot of nice new features in Android 11 and oxygen OS 11. The new look is very nice and still a very OnePlus feel.
That's my thoughts have a nice day.
Thank you for your hard work on this video and looking forward to the next.
Loved the photos you took, nice to see a reviewer taking some QUALITY images with the phone, not just photographing any random 💩 😆. Love your photography style.
any idea how many years oneplus 8 will last until it breaks or don't work no more? I usually keep the phone until it breaks and I get a new one. how many years did previous oneplus last?
I plan on making the jump from iPhone 11 to this. I feel like this has lots of features I'm missing out on a lot of features like the in-screen fingerprint scanner and higher refresh rate. Worth the jump?
Get the op9 pro. Launching in March
My perfect phone would be all high end specs, totally symmetrical design with a flat screen, and no camera hump. Come on OnePlus, I’m counting on you!
AND the finger sensor on the back
Biggest mistake i made was choose the Zenfone 5z over the Oneplus 6 just because it did not have a Micro Sd slot.
Your photos look so legit! I'm getting the 8pro this weekend, upgrading from my 3 yr old 6T. So excited!!
Still rocking my OP5T. OP8 Pro is very tempting, but I will wait and see what next year's OP9 is gonna offer. Hopefully, they have fixed the issues with OP8 and gone away from the curved screen.
Same here 👋
It will be a monumental jump from 5T to 9. Then again, isn't the experience still pretty much perfect on the 5T? Camera aside.
@@raresmacovei8382 The 5T is still a decent phone yes. But the camera is of the reasons upgrade. The 5T will then be given to one of the kids instead. And hopefully, it will survive the next 2-3 years.
My charging cable wore out, I will wait for one plus 9T
@@azazelunforgiven6553 you could always buy a new cable :P
Iuv the pop up camera on my 7pro. I won't upgrade until the 10 pro
I love my 8 pro , I got it after 10 years of iphones . Gotta say I haven't had finger print issues . The screen is great for content which I see a lot on my phone
are you facing any display issues, please reply...
Completely agree with the review asides the fingerprint sensor. I've been using the phone for 3 months now and didnt have any issues with the fingerprint sensor ( yeah the screen brightness thing used to be annoying but after an update only the sensor area lights up now and my finger covers this area anyways). I also like curved displays so thats not an issue for me but I guess that's down to personal preference
I got a Oneplus 7 pro mint for $250. 90hz screen is more than enough esp no hole punch camera! I hoped that they would keep that on the 8 pro, so i'll be sticking with my 7 pro
Don't have the slightest problems with curved edges and random touching, neither the under screen fingerprint sensor, works every single time smooth and quick. This is a killer phone in any aspect, had mine since the very first release date.
Watching on OP 8 Pro, and can agree with the entire video, the phone has its quarks but I don't regret getting the max out version, it's an awesome device.
You can turn off the unlock animation if the Fingerprint reader. Helps a lot avoid blinding you.
I wish Eber would do more phone reviews. As far as big TH-cam tech channels go, he's probably the best one
I just wanted Oneplus 8 pro specs in non-pro body.....
I love the form factor & weight of oneplus 8, thats why i bought it!
I wish it had good cameras,
Still happy!
Same
8T will have same primary camera as 8 pro+120Hz screen
The 8's camera is fine.installing gcam made it amazing tho
Used the 8 pro for 2 months n some days, upgraded to it from OP3 of 2016.
Overall it's a great phone, good battery life, great specs & best of all you can take it out for a swim.👌
Also for me the curved display gives it a premium feel.
This is set to last 4 yrs & then I pick myself the OP 12 pro.😉
OnePlus new slogan: "becoming the evil you swore to kill"
Other companies make budget phones too. Cheaper parts and specs. They all do this. It's not evil. U just don't see the whole picture. It's a free market. You buy it or you don't.
U had me until u got to the notification drop down. U can swipe anywhere on the screen and get that down. If you don't know the ins and outs of the software u can't make a realistic video about gripes. Lack of knowledge isn't a complaint. But otherwise good vid. Cheers!
Even all these months later, I think it's safe to say this is the best Android phone on the market. If only manufacturers would start making smaller flagships again, like Apple does.
For the problem with the fingerprint blinding situation...
On my 1+ 7 pro only the fingerprint scanner itself lights up, which is coverd by the finger, so it doenst blind me at all.
So if the entire screen gets bright on the 8 pro, why dont you just use a black picture as a lock screen wallpaper?
Or just tap the fingerprint scanner without waking the screen up first?
Which wallpaer app ur using in ur one plus 8 pro.great review btw
Been using oneplus 8 for almost a month now. I love how it feels in the hand. The 90hz is silky smooth, love the Oxygen os so much that instead of buying other brand i stick on the oneplus. Man why every reviewer hates this phone? I don't get it. Its not that bad the SoC is really great the camera is pretty good specially the nightsight. Give OnePlus 8 some love! Also has a not so aggressive curve edges which most reviewer prefer. ✌️
Same using oneplus 8 for 3 months and the camera performance is way better now than how it was when it got released
@@sarveshsivakumar6993 and still they hate oneplus 8 those who recommend 7T and 7T pro are the ones who never used the phone. Just plain watching phone reviews 😂
@@daft212 yeah now everyone will recommend the 8 after it recieves a price cut when 8t gets released
I have subbed to this channel after this review. I have watched so many phone reviews over the past weeks...Man...It's hard to find people who are honest. And show the whole picture. Thank you so much. This is a great find. I trust these reviews going forward - you have a new subscriber!
First time here and you got a new sub. I love the tone you use to explain, it's like a casual conversation. Yesterday I saw a video at .75 speed because the guy was speaking so fast I couldn't understand. It was like trying to read the credits at the end of a movie.🤯
I just got mine literally a week ago, and I haven't had any issues with the fingerprint scanner at night as my thumb covers the entire sensor, and I have a pretty decent case from Amazon that completely nullifies the accidental touches with the curved display, so maybe that might help for perspective buyers.
Are you noticing any screen tint issues or ghosting along the top bar with battery etc? This has been a huge problem with the OnePlus 8 Pro users. It terrified me from buying the phone.
@@kzgc8y3n not at all. The only issue is palm rejection without a case, but I like the curved display so I'm okay with it. I have had it for 2 months now, and I've gotten use to holding it so that I avoid accidental touches. But not ghost touches or weird tints whatsoever.
Are you noticing any screen tint issues or ghosting along the top bar with battery etc? This has been a huge problem with the OnePlus 8 Pro users. It terrified me from buying the phone. I guess there is terrible green tint that can turn magenta due to software. Then the glass has ghosting along the top so you always see the notification bar. In low dim settings the colours are totally wrong, and then they just adjusted it so the dim setting is no longer dim, it's still bright. Has anyone got this phone recently and avoided these issues?
There are really few TH-camrs whom I love and admire for their accent. You are one of them. ❤️
I think this phone is the perfect combination between resolution and high refresh rate. Never seen any other phone like this, honestly. But still I would prefer a side mounted finger print sensor than the on screen finger print scanner. Great review, really like it.
1 thing i can't move on from OP 8 Pro is that colour you have on it's so nice
Man, going back to this review again and again. This is my dream phone, I mean, the looks and everything is so gorgeous. Currently using the s21plus and I'm thinking of swapping it for this. I don't know if it's wise or what, but just thinking of it.
Personally I've been using the OP8 Pro since it comes out, Overall it's a great phone.
I agree with you about the curve display which is annoying sometimes, but about the fingerprint sensor it works for me every time to be honest.
The only issue I'm facing right now is with google chrome on my phone, it's laggy and sometimes it stucks for some unknown reasons and I have to close chrome and to reopen it again. I have faced the same issue of chrome on my previous OP6 and I have seen a lot of people in OnePlus community app talking about the same issue.
But overall I really like the phone, basically it's a beast 🔥
( Sorry for my average english btw 😅 )
Keep up the good work, I love your videos.
I have same issue on Xiaomi Mi8 with Google chrome. And I had hopes, that on my new Oneplus 8pro I won't face with this issue :(
Still rocking my OP5. Apart from the camera (obviously cameras have gone ahead) i love the Phone. Fingerprint sensor at the front is comfortable to me. Still runs buttery smooth with no issues. So, not planning on upgrading anytime soon.
Great video as always. Do you use android or iOS as your daily?
You can increase the strength of the haptics in the options if its not strong enough for you
I have been using the Oneplus 5 since its release. My phone is still fast and reliable like when I first got it, no lags or stutters or anything.
Mine is a bit quirky now, Wifi/4G issues and the battery is only at 83% max capacity, which is fine after more than 3 years.
Don't wanna lose my headphone jack...
I bought an 8 pro right away, coming from Samsung. I had to get familiar with it first, but now, I really love it. First of all - the color: I have the green one, and OMG!!! it's gorgeous! I got the 12GB/256 GB one so in terms of specs I'm happy with it. the display is great, but I don't like that the brightness, at its minimum, it's still kinda bright (at least, compared with the Samsung I had) and also, the same thing with the fingerprint - for me it's working flawlessly, but the sensor gets too bright. overall, I'm happy with the choice I made (between Oneplus 8 pro, Samsung 20+, and Xiaomi mi 10 pro)
Congrats, same for me am still looking forward s20+ & OP8 pro
But
Did you face any screen issues ( black crush, green tint ) ??
I need to know cause 99% of people said they returned their phones, So am confused :/
@@BigBossYounus hey! to be honest, I faced no issues until now! the only thing I don't like about the screen is that even at minimum brightness, it's still kinda bright
@@tomaandrei8458 yes they did that to fix green tint issues :(
That's so sad
Physical fingerprint scanner and headphone jack. These omissions will always be missed
I have zero interest in fingerprint technology so fine by me. The lack of headphone Jack's is annoying
Throw away the worthless fingerprint readers that never work if you actually use your hands for work and don't just sit at a desk (same goes for does stupid glas backside, want aluminum or plastic back)
Also 3.5mm audio jack back now!
@@Iceeeen poco x3 ?
Loved having a print scanner in the back.
@@anuragsingh9557 Not available here and it's to much of a hasel to import and get it to work. Also use special programs at work where the phonemodel has to be approved by the company (not even apple is 😂😂😂)
Im a OP6T user right now, I really like the user experience and I would like to upgrade it, but I'm not sure if I should go for the 7T Pro, the 8 or the 8 Pro
Im in the same situation haha. I think im gonna wait for the 9 pro tho
@@maxschuurman4996 I need to get a new provide in 2 months. I hope OnePlus shows the 8T and 8T Pro until then
@@chronox837 I'm in the same dilemma.. but there isn't a 8t pro version this year
Just make a list of the features you need, it was easy for me to choose the 8 pro over the regular 8 and I don't regret that decision one bit
Wait for the 8T before making your decision.
I own OnePlus 8 pro and there are 4 cameras for start, the filter camera in my unit at least doesn't work at all, the software just takes the regular camera and put a regular filter over it.
At the first 2 weeks the filter camera worked just fine but after that it stopped.
Oneplus patched the filter camera out because there was some wonky business (being able to see through some materials) with it. Not sure when they will bring it back.
@@Eiensakura I know that, but in the beginning I could have seen fabric and other materials in different colors using the unique camera but now I see this awful filter that is just a regular filter over the main camera.
When I enter the filter below is written that there is a need for more light, this message is written always when I'm using this filter option and no matter if I'm in a dark room or at 1 PM outside.
My OnePlus 5 are so good, so good it even got a headphone jack, so im not planing to upgrade anytime soon.
Upgrade ur grammar then
My 5T was so good, I wanted to drive it for two more years. But somehow I managed to loose it! Now on 8Pro

I have an s21 ultra on pre order. It comes with a neat 200$ bonus so I got all the necessary accessories with it. I currently use a OnePlus 7 pro, but I'm considering buying an 8 pro instead of the s21 ultra. Is it worth it to save the extra 400-500$? I'm a camera junkie and the one thing that interests me in the s21 ultra is that amazing camera
As an owner of both an iPhone 11Pro Max and a OnePlus 7Pro, I enjoy WARP charge waaaaaaaay more than wireless charging. These phones have amazing battery life, so I don't really need wireless chargers all around the house to keep up. What I can say is that, as a long time iPhone user, OnePlus delivers the best android experience I have ever tried. I've wanted to leave iOS for a while, but I don't like Samsung's software and implementations, and Google's is really good, but the Pixels ALWAYS have hardware problems. Just look at the batteries on the Pixel 3 family.
The weakest link of OnePlus has always been camera performance, but the 7Pro I have produces amazing pictures with gcam... so I can bet the 8Pro's are even better. So if you're thinking about jumping the boat of just trying OnePlus as a brand, just do it. You'll definitively find an amazing product made to perform fast, and to last.
I bought the OP8Pro in december, and after 7-10 days it had burn-in and insane image retention. Oh and it also has the green tint thing. So even after after all the updates, and a later production date, it still seems to have issues. I managed to get rid of most of the burn-in via anti burn-in apps, but the image retention is annoying. Static images, even just being static for 10 seconds or so, will stay visible for another 5-10 seconds, specially on a grey background. The curved edges isnt much of a problem for me, as I use a case on the phone.
Edit: Because of the insane image retention on this phone, I would be very carefull with gaming on it.
I was "fanboy" Samsung Galaxy S...and I had a lot of smartphones Galaxy S but my last was S10 considering I live in Europe I was forced to buy Exynos but anymore. I want to have charger in box...I have bought OP 8 Pro recently and Snapdragon is ultra fast and oxygen is amazing although I get used to using still.
I still have the 7 pro, yes the finger print sensor is 99% working.
hey you can swipe down from middle of the screen to bring notification panel on home screen option is there in launcher settings
Your voice is soothing with clarity...keep it up mate
This is such an amazing honest review.
I wish they would make a thicker version with a 4x bigger battery.
Still happy with my 7 Pro
Same 👍
Great review.Thank you!Finally somebody mentioning if I can take 4K with all lenses!
I bought the One Plus 7 Pro this week, comming from the 3T.
I waited long enough and I didn't like the (double) punch hole.
So I went for the 7 Pro :)

You can change the settings for brightening of the screen for face unlock

I started my journey in oneplus since they launched the ONEPLUS 2 and TBH that phone still works fabulous no issues at all after that i bought 3T then 5 and OP5 was the top notch phone for me at least because i really enjoyed using that phone and i was waiting for this phone to be launched so i had a great time with OP5 and then i bought this beauty ...... It's great , it's phenomenal , it's ummm what to say it's a value for money phone ......If you're planning to buy it just go for it.
Watching this video on my OnePlus 8 pro.... Brought this in December.... Lol after fixing the issues 😁....I Love my phone a lottttttttt...... Means a lot ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Nice review bro , so far the best pictures i've seen which were taken with that smartphone , Just incredible
Man...The photos you took are Bananas..🔥
Excellent and detailed long term review
I suggest you to turn off the face unlock assist in the settings. I think that might be causing the high brightness in the dark problem.
I currently own OP5 and with news of no OP8T Pro and your fantastic review along with pictures I convinced to buy this over OP8.
Specially considering that wide angle of this phone is same sensor as OP7T.
Great review! Subbed.

There’s a normal Oneplus 8 instead of the 8 pro. It’s a smaller version of this phone
@@B00st1o It's basically the same size. When I mean smaller, I mean screen 5.5-5.7 inch
You earned a subscriber man. Brilliant review.
Strangely I've had none of the palm rejection issues but maybe it's because I used a Galaxy S7 Edge for years previously and learned to deal with it? I also don't have any functional issues with the fingerprint scanner but you're definitely right about the flashbang in the dark.
Best phone I've ever had.
I already bought mine, been on my list since launch, just waiting for it to arrive, for me one of the most well rounded phones of the year
Curved display i really love this...i think this personal matter and in display fingerprint works really fine
bought this exact phone wit that exact case on releaseday, im super happy with the phone but i am a little bit sad that they removed the pop up camera instead of perfecting it
I know I'm still using my OnePlus 7 pro and wish they had the pop camera in there 8 series phones.
Well they did it for water resistance
I miss 5.5" phones, if I can't operate it with one hand its a tablet in my book.
Feel the same way, hate carrying around these big logs. And it's annoying when your thumb cant reach the other side of the screen.

Stop crying so much about the curved screen ffs! The curved screen first makes it look like a real premium flagship, you can use it to access the edge panels like Samsung (ok gotta download an app for it but still) and I NEVER had problems with it!
I agree.. flat screens jn 2020 look like cheap trash
