Excellent 90Hz screen, Great performance, Appealing design
Not as cheap as OnePlus phones used to be, Average camera, Average camera
The OnePlus 8 might not have the sheer box-ticking appeal of the OnePlus 8 Pro, but it still looks and feels every inch the flagship phone. A so-so camera and one or two missing features disappoint, and there's been little advancement from the excellent O...

great screen, top performance, good battery life, superfast charging, good camera, great software, alert slider, topnotch build, 5G, dualsim, superfast inscreen fingerprint scanner
no headphone socket, no telephoto camera, 5G disabled when using two sims, no formal IP rating, only three years software updates
The OnePlus 8 is a great phone at a good price, particularly when you consider you're getting 5G flagship performance at £599, which undercuts rivals such as Samsung's Galaxy S20 by about £300.You get a smartphone experience that's second to none. Always...
Colour accurate 90Hz screen, Second-best battery life we've tested, 5G for less
Lacks new standout features, No IP68 rating
I'll be the first to admit that I prematurely dismissed the OnePlus 8 in my briefing call. Rather than adding new features, OnePlus would alternately increase the cost by £50 and launch a near-carbon copy of last year's model. Alarm bells immediately went...

Excellent power and performance, 5G (and no massive price hike), 2020 curves
Camera not as versatile as last time around
You need to appreciate the cost of 5G to “get” the OnePlus 8. It may seem like everyone has been blathering on about 5G for ages, but the phone hardware that makes it possible is still barely out of nappies. And that means it costs a bit to pack in. Howe...

Abstract: When OnePlus first started selling phones back in 2014, it positioned its devices as flagship killers, offering similar specs and performance as high-end phones from Samsung, Google, and others, but for half the price. Later, as OnePlus grew and matured...
There are some minor quibbles I have about the OnePlus 8 but they are just that, minor, and things like the size and colour are my personal preference.What you're getting once again is an exceptionally good value for money flagship smartphone with a lot t...
Abstract: But with prices steadily rising in recent years, OnePlus continues to drift away from its flagship-killing roots. The crowded mid-range territory is also becoming increasingly difficult to conquer, with rivals like Xiaomi, Realme and Oppo throwing their h...

Gorgeous finish - and not a fingerprint magent for once,Strong battery life easily lasts a day,Smooth software with useful gaming mode too,Top-drawer processor means oodles of power
Cameras aren't leading,Excessive contrast at low brightness,90Hz of questionable benefit,No wireless charging,Would like a non-5G version to cut price down
Although the OnePlus 8 is the entry model to the series, this phone is anything but 'entry'. It's got oodles of processing power, super smooth software (which even scrolls smoother thanks to that 90Hz screen), and 5G connectivity for future-proofing.The o...
Abstract: OnePlus has, as promised, launched the 8 series of smartphones for 2020. The regular OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro have various differences so you'll want to think carefully about which one to buy. This is one of those comparisons where we're going to spli...
Both phones have very good cameras, however the 8 Pro is in a different class. The images are rich, warm and so clear. Although you'll find that most shots are set to 12 megapixels (by default) on both phones to allow for zooming, there's a sharpness to t...
