Important update: this model is updated to Android version 12.
Check the availability of the update version in your region on the manufacturer’s website.

Android version and market relevance

The long-awaited announcement of a new smartphone from the manufacturer OnePlus, which took place in April 2020 (in our catalog you can see all smarphones of 2020). This is a new model OnePlus 8 — dual 5G-smartphone works on Android 10, which can be updated to version 12.

And let’s look at an important function — the availability of 5G networks support in a smartphone. The manufacturer implemented functionality for working in 5G networks in this model. This means that you can use high-speed mobile Internet (up to 100 Mb/s) without delay with a stable signal. Agree that this should be very useful and we will all quickly get used to this quality of mobile Internet.

Screen, body and battery

Good big 6.55-inch screen, made by technology Fluid AMOLED with screen refresh rate 90 Hz (see all smartphones with screens 90 Hz in the catalog) installed in the smartphone OnePlus 8.

The larger the screen, the larger the case. But in addition to the width and height of the hull, its thickness is important. At OnePlus 8 the thickness of the case is 8 mm, which turns out to be very thick. Today, there are many smartphones with a slim body. In addition, the screen area in relation to the body area affects the positive feeling of the phone in the hands. This model has a screen area of 80% to 90% of the body area (watch all smartphones with a screen from edge to edge). And one more thing, the screen area is increased thanks to the upper cutout above it, while the body area remains unchanged. OnePlus 8 received a cutout in the form of a small hole at the top of the screen for a selfie camera and multiple sensors. Check out detailed photos of this smartphone for a better understanding of how it looks in real life.

The battery and the operating time also depend on the screen size. At OnePlus 8 installed battery for 4 300 mAh, and this is a fairly good reserve of capacity, which is exactly enough for you for one day with average usage.

Main camera and selfie camera

The main camera has several modules (triple camera smartphones): 48 MP Wide + 16 MP UltraWide + 2 MP Macro and, as usual, it is located on the back of the smartphone. When a smartphone camera has multiple lenses, it allows zooming with high image quality. You can also take photos with the Bokeh effect. This is an effect where the background is blurred and the subject in the foreground stands out very nicely. It’s better to see it once than hear about it a hundred times, so look at examples of photos from this smartphone. The frontcamera at OnePlus 8 has one module: 16 MP Wide. And this, of course, is very good. Your selfies will look beautiful and high quality. This model has a front camera as usual at the top of the screen, like 99.9% of all smartphones. But, if this makes you bored, then we can offer smartphones with pop-up front camera. In these models, the front camera is located inside the body and goes up only when you activate the front camera mode. It sounds interesting, but how convenient it is and how long this mechanism will work is not yet clear.

Processor and Internal Memory

Smartphone OnePlus 8 received a 8-core processor Snapdragon 865, RAM 8 GB and built-in memory 128 GB.

Price for OnePlus 8: buy or not to buy?

If you are looking for a camera phone, then OnePlus 8 is just what you need. If you need a smartphone with a huge touch screen, then this is just the real phablet! You can buy! If you are looking for selfie smartphone (smartphone with a very cool front camera for shooting selfie), then this is exactly what you were looking for. Do not pass by OnePlus 8, you should like it.

Let′s step back from the lyrics and talk about money. Selling OnePlus 8 will begin in April 2020 at a price of $512. There are analogues of this model from its price segment “Flagships smartphones from $500”, you can choose any smartphone for the same money.

We recommend buying a new smartphone only from trusted sellers. And preferably before buying the phone hold in your hand, to feel the dimensions of his hand and look at all of its external signs (build quality and materials). Then turn it on and check the touch screen (there should be no “broken” pixels, color gradient), open several built-in applications to assess the speed and smoothness of the interface. Be sure to launch the “Camera” application and take a few photos and videos, then view them (there should be no artifacts or traces of dust on the lens or glass).

Android 12 rolls out to three 2020 OnePlus smartphones

If you are in China and have a OnePlus 8, 8 Pro, or 8T model, then this news should please you. For these smartphones, the ColorOS 12 firmware based on the Android 12 operating system is ready.

However, the producer indicates that the ColorOS 12 version is still in beta testing. Therefore, there may be some errors in the operation of the smartphone. For example, when switching from HydrogenOS to ColorOS, the Face Unlock function may not work correctly.

We picked up these models at a similar price.
