As a OnePlus 8 pro user you sir super saf have the most accurate review almost everything has been mentioned exactly the way it is no sugar-coating brushing under the rug nothing everything was real and honest and truthful amazing in depth review your a underated goat of reviews 🙏🏾❤️✊🏾
yeah, the price is lower in india but as a mater of fact the phone still didn't start selling in India compensates that. There were many fake sale dates and many people including me are changing or changed their mind on buying samsung s20 line up or other cheap brands...
6:48 You don't have to wake the device to use the fingerprint sensor. When you have ambient display on, you can just tap the screen or lift the device to show your information at a glance and the fingerprint scanner. It is totally effortless
I've had the OnePlus 8Pro for about a month now and I love it. I was ready to back up this phone at the beginning of this video but most of the points he's made really hit home. Not that the phone is bad.. just that I wish I could change small things that I miss from my last phone that is now 3 years old. Things like -no always on display -limited lock screen customization -max screen dimness still being bright -a built in fingerprint scanner -for some reason "Google assistant" almost never hears me. Maybe a mic issue? -homescreen apps are too spread out which feels like a waste of screen real estate -lack of accessibility to phone cases and screen protectors -the SIZE, holy moly it's huge! And probably most annoyingly -the power button is almost opposite of the volume down key which results in so many accidental screenshots instead of the screen locking Overall these are minor issues and the benefits far outweigh the negatives of this phone in my opinion. Camera is great, screen is great. Music gestures are great. The smoothness and quickness 😅 This phone is really amazing 🥰
I had exactly the same problem with the display. Had to return to amazon for a replacement but that was worse. Shame as I was hoping for so much better. No one seems to mention the change to dark mode and no toggle/auto mode. Everything else was great on the phone. The curved screen is not a deal breaker for me. However, now rocking the s20 plus and got to say makes me sad that the one plus had so many screen issues.

I like how this tech TH-cam organized the different experiences like most youtubers do not because of ad revenue. Like he added his experience on battery life in the description for people who just want to know that, respect for you bro I subbed
One thing I really appreciate about my 8 Pro is that it really takes advantage of the full display specs, especially the 120hz. The memc card is honestly great, I love it, and it means that I can use the best specs of my display far more often
@@junedsaleh8415 not on mine luckily but I know some units have had that issue.... maybe more quality control on OnePlus' part but I guess I was lucky lol
I look for time stamps on so many reviewers' videos, and don't find them. This is one of the few channels that includes time stamps in videos. It is ALWAYS appreciated. Thanks, Saf!
What is the average salary of a person in your country... In India even oneplus 8 is too costly for us... An average indian uses mobile priced under rupees 20,000 which is equal to 260 $
Keosha Davis It IS more affordable. The 8 being the same price as the IPhone SE here. Around 530 bucks. But that’s not enough to satisfy the hidden miser(now please don’t get offended)in every Indian.
@@ishan21212 ok I see thank you for clarifying, but damn 530 bucks! The iPhone SE is 399 bucks in the US, I don't understand why they don't drop the price to the same level for India. Most younger kids and adults here are spoiled entitled brats that would rather buy a flagship than a phone like the SE, I feel like if apple want more phone sells they should be giving India prices like that🤦🏾♀️
creating different segments in the video's progress bar is a new feature that I discovered today...that's great when you are searching for a specific part of a video
Watching this video on my OnePlus 8 Pro, only issue I have is I wished the front facing camera is a wide angle, hopefully the 8T Pro will have this feature
Same. I find the screen is too bright at night-time when checking the clock possibly waking me up more and keeping me up. Also, some weird bug in night mode (red color mode) where it's not on for a second or two when you open the screen. These are enough of a reason to return the device if not fixed. Taking 60fps 4k video will also cause overheating in hot weather at least if you keep 120 Hz screen refresh on. 5min restriction on 4k 60fps video is also bothersome. Also, no signal sound when you hit the time limit?
@@casivareddy Yes occasionally while gaming and while taking 4k 60 fps with 120 Hz screen on. Can't test more as I returned the unit. Great phone though much better value than S20 Ultra.
Great thorough and honest review. Seems like a very generic phone without much value proposition. I would still pick their phones from last year over this one.
So smart of you to include the India price. That helps put a nice context to the whole price discussion. At the price point equivalent of ~USD$ 728, it's a literal no brainer here. Especially when you consider that the much inferior iPhone SE starts at ~US$ 562!!
You don't need a new phone every new model. These phones are meant to last for 3 years minimum before becoming obsolete. For sure id wait for the 9, heck I'd even wait for the 10
@John Appleseed: Maintaining colour accuracy, uniformity and to avoid black crushing. I really hope Apple does bring us ProMotion but I don’t want brightness, colour accuracy, and uniformity as well as blue shift to suffer as a result.
What everyone seems to overlook is that the photochrom camera is an IR camera that allows you to see in the dark provided that there's an IR source available. Like a night view security camera. Or vive lighthouses. Even a regular IR remote turns into a strobing flashlight with this camera
Nice video review. I mostly agree with your assessments. I ordered mine on launch day here in the USA and received it on April 21. It replaced a perfectly functional but aging OnePlus 3. Battery health was still mid to upper 80s, but it lacked band 71 and official support terminated in late 2019. I loved that OP3 and it took me 3 weeks to finally turn it off and fully move to the 8 pro. Lol. Here in the USA, 10.5.8 still shows as current. The dual sim feature has yet to be enabled. So I keep the 8 pro with my primary sim and the OP3 has my backup sim. I’m kinda surprised OnePlus hasn’t enabled dual sim yet. I have not had any of the display issues complained about online. No green or pink tint. If I have black crush, I haven’t noticed it. And I use dark themes and read on it in bed every night. I think the price is too high in the USA. Had the new iPhone or pixel been out, I would have given them serious consideration. Especially the iPhone because of the support, both locally (in store) and length of useful life. Phones should have more support than 2 years os, 3 years security. In favor of OnePlus has been my experience with upgrades on my OP3. And OOS is a delightful skin. Back when I could buy 2 one plus phones in a 6 year time frame vs 1 iPhone for about the same price, buying android made sense to me. That differentiation no longer exists. A comparable iphone is only about $250 more than the top spec 8 pro. Had the iPhone 12 been out, that might have been hard to turn down. OP needs to make the Indian prices the norm rather than the exception. That would restore balance to the mobile phone world. IMO, of course.
We still don't have OnePlus 8 pro on sale in India and almost no information on the net pertaining to this. It is very true that the delay in the sale of OnePlus 8 pro is resulting in a lot of users switching to other smartphone brands as there is absolutely no clue as to when OnePlus 8 pro is going on sale. Any idea on when they are actually going sell OnePlus 8 pro in India?
Crushed blacks and grey uniformity are two very different things, fyi. Crushed blacks are an issue with gamma where anything below a certain threshold of darkness will look pure black instead of having varying levels of darkness
Clearly, Oneplus 7 Pro was their peak. Most challenging design with its pop-up full screen while nobody else was doing, and water resistance without IP certification was brave. Even hanging a brick on the pop-up camera just to show how durable it was. That design made people start believing that moving parts was possible. And also, nobody else was talking about frame rate on smartphones outside the gaming specter. It was really revolutionary!
I'm surprised you missed the main camera stabilization missing on the OP8Pro. When taking normal shots, especially in low lights, it actually complains about shaking and gets blurry images. My old pixel 2xl was super fantastic about stabilizing images, even in low light. This actually really made me mad.
@@shivanshusharma8176 actually I am from India so I got the Exynos 990 model but that's not a problem because I bought it for my father who doesn't game at all
I have 8 Pro myself and was wondering how you didn't cover the weird behavior of the 3x camera. When focused on a distance, it uses the 3x camera but if the subject is close like 1 meter away, it switches for the main camera and uses digital zoom. Go on and try it, you will see the camera app to "jump" to the different camera even on video recording when focusing near to far objects. I believe this behavior is because of the lens design of the tele 3x camera. It can't focus closer than 1,5 meters or so, so it switches to the main camera to focus objects nearer than that. Also I am disappointed of the main cameras ability to focus close. You mentioned on the video the narrow depth of field is present which makes the image blurry. This is partly because of the sensor size but I also believe as a semipro photographer the lens is struggling to focus closer. When I switch on the super macro mode, it actually uses the wide lens and sensor which has ability to zoom really close and far. On a situation where I require more depth of field I turn on super macro mode and get better results for objects near to me. These are little quirks that are a bit annoying but still the camera system works really nice and I really enjoy the super macro 👌

@@The-Heart-Will-Testify dude i think if a comapny sells u a phone with flaws its should be called out, like samsung is right now with the exynos 990

Bruh the OnePlus 8 doesn't have any flaws just that 30% of users who bought the first set of unit face display issues
I bet you other units shipped out after those sets don't have these issues that's why reviewers don't call out OnePlus for minor issues like this
But Samsung men Samsung screwed it up bruh 😒
I like how this tech TH-cam organized the different experiences like most youtubers do not because of ad revenue. Like he added his experience on battery life in the description for people who just want to know that, respect for you bro I subbed
Gotta say, I'm loving the timestamp! Great video as always SuperSaf !
One thing I really appreciate about my 8 Pro is that it really takes advantage of the full display specs, especially the 120hz. The memc card is honestly great, I love it, and it means that I can use the best specs of my display far more often
thx for the great review... this is the best phone I've ever owned and have no complaints!
Wish I could get my hands on one. Been out of stock for SO LONG
Lol 😂 why do people defend this companies? When a company fubars, than call them out. Else they will never do it better.
is there any green tint issue and black crush on display??
@@junedsaleh8415 not on mine luckily but I know some units have had that issue.... maybe more quality control on OnePlus' part but I guess I was lucky lol
I look for time stamps on so many reviewers' videos, and don't find them. This is one of the few channels that includes time stamps in videos. It is ALWAYS appreciated. Thanks, Saf!
What is the average salary of a person in your country...
In India even oneplus 8 is too costly for us... An average indian uses mobile priced under rupees 20,000 which is equal to 260 $
That's why they making the Z
And also, their recipes still work for Indian market quite well, since its the best selling flagship phones there since , I don't know, the 5?
What I thought OnePlus was made in India which would automatically make it alittle more affordable or was it a different company I'm thinking of.... 🤔
Keosha Davis It IS more affordable. The 8 being the same price as the IPhone SE here. Around 530 bucks. But that’s not enough to satisfy the hidden miser(now please don’t get offended)in every Indian.
@@ishan21212 ok I see thank you for clarifying, but damn 530 bucks! The iPhone SE is 399 bucks in the US, I don't understand why they don't drop the price to the same level for India. Most younger kids and adults here are spoiled entitled brats that would rather buy a flagship than a phone like the SE, I feel like if apple want more phone sells they should be giving India prices like that🤦🏾♀️
yay new vid!! very helpful review! your amazing!!
Very very helpful video bro... thanks for your review...
Love from Bangladesh ❤💛💚💙💜♥️💘💝💖💗💓💞💕💌❣️💟
creating different segments in the video's progress bar is a new feature that I discovered today...that's great when you are searching for a specific part of a video
best review so far i've seen for this device
Hi can we really as Users feel the difference between an 8 and a 12 go version?
A fair balanced review. Great stuff
Watching this video on my OnePlus 8 Pro, only issue I have is I wished the front facing camera is a wide angle, hopefully the 8T Pro will have this feature
01:46. _Wallpaper was dope👌 , __#SuperSafstyle__😍_
#SuperSafStyle 😎😂
Same. I find the screen is too bright at night-time when checking the clock possibly waking me up more and keeping me up. Also, some weird bug in night mode (red color mode) where it's not on for a second or two when you open the screen. These are enough of a reason to return the device if not fixed. Taking 60fps 4k video will also cause overheating in hot weather at least if you keep 120 Hz screen refresh on. 5min restriction on 4k 60fps video is also bothersome. Also, no signal sound when you hit the time limit?
Bro is there any heat issue???
@@casivareddy Yes occasionally while gaming and while taking 4k 60 fps with 120 Hz screen on. Can't test more as I returned the unit. Great phone though much better value than S20 Ultra.
Great thorough and honest review. Seems like a very generic phone without much value proposition. I would still pick their phones from last year over this one.
That's what I did got the 7t pro 👍
Definitely. Actually thought about spending like 300$ extra for the regular 8 over the 1p 7 pro but glad I didn't
Only 2 months, my man mkbhd has been using it for 2yrs!!!
Very Clear review, Thank you.
Are the display issues the same with the normaal oneplus 8, or only with the pro version?
I feel you don't review android and apple products to the same standard, feel there is a curve applied when taking about iphones
So smart of you to include the India price. That helps put a nice context to the whole price discussion. At the price point equivalent of ~USD$ 728, it's a literal no brainer here. Especially when you consider that the much inferior iPhone SE starts at ~US$ 562!!
If I have 7T pro McLaren Edition , should I change it? Or it's better to wait op 9 ?
You don't need a new phone every new model. These phones are meant to last for 3 years minimum before becoming obsolete. For sure id wait for the 9, heck I'd even wait for the 10
U did miss out about the haptic feedback or vibration motor
Hi which you recommend between oneplus 7t pro mclaren edition and oneplus 8 pro ?????
Thank you for the HONEST review! This is probably why Apple is thinking of turning off 120Hz.
You never specified the reason?
@John Appleseed:
Maintaining colour accuracy, uniformity and to avoid black crushing.
I really hope Apple does bring us ProMotion but I don’t want brightness, colour accuracy, and uniformity as well as blue shift to suffer as a result.
What everyone seems to overlook is that the photochrom camera is an IR camera that allows you to see in the dark provided that there's an IR source available. Like a night view security camera. Or vive lighthouses. Even a regular IR remote turns into a strobing flashlight with this camera
Finally someone talking about the screen issues. Great review and thank you for touching on the screen!!
I found a great deal on this phone for $517 I bought it right away knowing original price. I love it soo much it’s the best decision I have ever made.
Oppo Find X2 Pro vs Oneplus 8 Pro comparison please! 🔥🙏
Yeah
I'm from india and it definitely is a really good deal for 55k rupees🔥for almost 130$ less🤩
17:55 what happened to your voice when you said battery life
Nice video review. I mostly agree with your assessments. I ordered mine on launch day here in the USA and received it on April 21. It replaced a perfectly functional but aging OnePlus 3. Battery health was still mid to upper 80s, but it lacked band 71 and official support terminated in late 2019. I loved that OP3 and it took me 3 weeks to finally turn it off and fully move to the 8 pro. Lol.
Here in the USA, 10.5.8 still shows as current. The dual sim feature has yet to be enabled. So I keep the 8 pro with my primary sim and the OP3 has my backup sim. I’m kinda surprised OnePlus hasn’t enabled dual sim yet.
I have not had any of the display issues complained about online. No green or pink tint. If I have black crush, I haven’t noticed it. And I use dark themes and read on it in bed every night.
I think the price is too high in the USA. Had the new iPhone or pixel been out, I would have given them serious consideration. Especially the iPhone because of the support, both locally (in store) and length of useful life. Phones should have more support than 2 years os, 3 years security.
In favor of OnePlus has been my experience with upgrades on my OP3. And OOS is a delightful skin. Back when I could buy 2 one plus phones in a 6 year time frame vs 1 iPhone for about the same price, buying android made sense to me. That differentiation no longer exists. A comparable iphone is only about $250 more than the top spec 8 pro.
Had the iPhone 12 been out, that might have been hard to turn down. OP needs to make the Indian prices the norm rather than the exception. That would restore balance to the mobile phone world. IMO, of course.
Thanks sir I love ur review and it helps a lot
We still don't have OnePlus 8 pro on sale in India and almost no information on the net pertaining to this.
It is very true that the delay in the sale of OnePlus 8 pro is resulting in a lot of users switching to other smartphone brands as there is absolutely no clue as to when OnePlus 8 pro is going on sale.
Any idea on when they are actually going sell OnePlus 8 pro in India?
18:24 dope head movement.
Crushed blacks and grey uniformity are two very different things, fyi. Crushed blacks are an issue with gamma where anything below a certain threshold of darkness will look pure black instead of having varying levels of darkness
Wait it's been a month and a half... WTF 👀
Can you check if the screen issues are also present on the Oppo Find X2 Pro since the screen is technically the same on both!!?
@Supersaf you have been a great youtuber and a tech educator. The way you explained stuff, it kept me watching.
Love from India Saf bhai!
Clearly, Oneplus 7 Pro was their peak.
Most challenging design with its pop-up full screen while nobody else was doing, and water resistance without IP certification was brave.
Even hanging a brick on the pop-up camera just to show how durable it was.
That design made people start believing that moving parts was possible.
And also, nobody else was talking about frame rate on smartphones outside the gaming specter.
It was really revolutionary!
Title of this video: CONQUERING THE DARKNESS
I'm surprised you missed the main camera stabilization missing on the OP8Pro. When taking normal shots, especially in low lights, it actually complains about shaking and gets blurry images.
My old pixel 2xl was super fantastic about stabilizing images, even in low light. This actually really made me mad.
Watching it on my one plus 8 pro.🥺
Best phone of this year 🥺
And thas it have allways on display?
Oneplus is shitt
Me too

@@shivanshusharma8176 actually I am from India so I got the Exynos 990 model but that's not a problem because I bought it for my father who doesn't game at all
@@lostlupical1880 soo its not yours then
I have 8 Pro myself and was wondering how you didn't cover the weird behavior of the 3x camera. When focused on a distance, it uses the 3x camera but if the subject is close like 1 meter away, it switches for the main camera and uses digital zoom. Go on and try it, you will see the camera app to "jump" to the different camera even on video recording when focusing near to far objects.
I believe this behavior is because of the lens design of the tele 3x camera. It can't focus closer than 1,5 meters or so, so it switches to the main camera to focus objects nearer than that.
Also I am disappointed of the main cameras ability to focus close. You mentioned on the video the narrow depth of field is present which makes the image blurry. This is partly because of the sensor size but I also believe as a semipro photographer the lens is struggling to focus closer. When I switch on the super macro mode, it actually uses the wide lens and sensor which has ability to zoom really close and far. On a situation where I require more depth of field I turn on super macro mode and get better results for objects near to me.
These are little quirks that are a bit annoying but still the camera system works really nice and I really enjoy the super macro 👌
Saf I love you man, awesome review as always. God Bless
Is the pop-up camera omitted for leak data in one plus8 pro?

Marques, I am surprised that you haven't touched upon the display issues which have plauged OP 8 Pro. We expect such details from a reviewers of your stature. Please add/address these issues
Perfect and all details covered that any reviewer can do. ❤️
Display is same as Oppo Find X2 pro but you never seemed to talk about these issues in your Find X2 pro review
Oneplus 7 pro is best phone they've ever made!
Agreed. I'm waiting on something else to come out that catches my attention like this one did before I upgrade.
