OnePlus 8 Pro

OnePlus 8 Pro product description

The OnePlus 8 Pro is the ultimate flagship for the first half of 2020. Thanks to the many innovations you will be able to use it for many years to come. According to some, this 8 Pro is different from other OnePlus phones and the first real flagship of the rebellious OnePlus. What they mean by that and whether we agree with that is something we're going to find out here.

Largest battery ever in a OnePlus

This OnePlus 8 Pro has a number of specs that you have seen at other flagships for years but did not use OnePlus before. Think of wireless charging and an official waterproof body. Not because it was difficult to add but OnePlus wants to do it right. Wireless charging with the same speed as wired for example. For that you do need the special Warp Charge 30 Wireless charger. It contains a fan to keep it cool so whether you want it next to your bed is something that remains to be seen. Unfortunately the charger does not come standard in the box (unless you live in the United States). In the box you will find Warp Charge 30T Power Adaptor with which you can charge your 8 Pro. With this adaptor you can charge up to 50% of the large 4510 mAh battery in just 23 minutes. That is also the largest battery OnePlus has ever put in a phone.

Screen even smoother, even more colourful

OnePlus innovated earlier with its Fluid Display with its high refresh rate of 90 Hz. This makes animations look smoother and scrolling more responsive. This OnePlus 8 Pro tops that by increasing it to 120 Hz. Making it even faster and smoother without downscaling to a lower resolution as for example Samsung does. Thanks to the 10-bit support, the screen is more colourful than ever and according to the connoisseurs of DisplayMate, it is indistinguishable from real life. Even in direct sunlight, thanks to the high peak brightness. However, the screen does have a considerable rounding at the edges. That is something you have to like and it's also more form over function. The pixels on the side of the screen are not easily readable and therefore become rather superfluous, despite the fact that the bulge looks nice.

Main OnePlus 8 Pro specifications

New camera experience

Forget about the 5G support, the newer processor, the faster memory and the immersive Dolby Atmos sound. We want to talk about the camera. With this OnePlus 8 Pro, OnePlus takes serious steps when it comes to functions and image quality. We see a Quad camera system of which the main camera consists of a 48 megapixel sensor. In itself nothing special, but OnePlus does something special with it. The wide-angle camera has the same number of pixels, so you capture as much detail in widescreen as usual. The 8 megapixel zoom camera can only be found in this generation with this 8 Pro. You can zoom in up to 2x without loss of quality and 30x digital. Images remain sharp thanks to the optical image stabilisation. The fourth camera is equipped with a so-called colour filter for fun effects. Fun features, new innovations and major improvements. But with a hefty price tag because the 8 Pro is the most expensive OnePlus ever.
