Product Gallery
Product Overview
OnePlus 8 Pro is a flagship smartphone powered by Snapdragon 865 chipset. It features a punch-hole QHD+ OLED display with a quad-camera setup that matches the best from Samsung.
Compared to the OnePlus 8, the OnePlus 8 Pro features a different camera setup, including the new Sony IMX689 main sensor and a 5MP color filter lens. Like its predecessor, it also uses a QHD+ OLED display, though the refresh rate is now bumped to 120Hz.
Like the OnePlus 8, the 8 Pro also comes with WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.1 wireless connectivity. It uses the X55 Dual Mode 5G modem that seamlessly switches between LTE and 5G networks to save battery without sacrificing performance.

Reviewer score 69%The OnePlus 8 Pro's zoom camera crops in from 12MP to 8MP for “lossless” zoom, which captures less detailed shots than that of rival camera phones. With the OnePlus 9 Pro, it ditched the gimmick lenses and delivered a true telephoto experience while retaining and even upgrading the exemplary main and ultra-wide lenses. The only substantial thing that keeps the 8 Pro appealing is that it costs less than the 9 Pro.

Pros
- Gorgeous 120Hz display
- Excellent battery life
- Fast processor
Cons
- No software updates
- No wireless charging
androidauthority[2]
Reviewer score 68%The phone has a dedicated telephoto camera that's actually a 12MP sensor. It crops down to 8MP to achieve “lossless” zoom rather than a true optical zoom. The curves on the OnePlus 8 Pro are quite extreme if you're coming from a flat phone. Streaming video and playing games on this otherwise stellar display should be a joy.

Pros
- Fantastic ultra-wide angle camera
- Superb battery life
- Beautiful display
Cons
- Oxygen OS is still a work in progress
- Cameras aren’t great

Reviewer score 93%The OnePlus 8 Pro's main 48-megapixel camera and wide-angle shooter take sharp and vibrant shots. At times the contrast and colors, like the greens in some of these outdoor photos, can be punched up a bit too much. The camera can also shoot 4K video and has optical image stabilization.

Reviewer score 87%The OnePlus 8 Pro costs $1,000 for the 12GB/256GB version in our review, or $900 for the 8GB/128GB model. It has a Snapdragon 865 chipset and the X55 5G modem, plus a massive 12GB of RAM. It's not perfect, though. The lack of an always-on display is a disappointment, though you can tap the screen to see information.

Reviewer score 93%The 6.78-inch Fluid AMOLED panel in a 19.8:9 format has a resolution of 3,168 x 1,440 pixels (QHD+). This results in a pixel density of 513 ppi. On the back, there is a change in design due to the new camera module. The main camera is still in the middle, but the flash, laser autofocus, and the 3x telephoto camera have moved to the left.

Reviewer score 85%The Snapdragon 865 is Qualcomm's latest and fastest high-end SoC. It offers eight cores split across three clusters: a super-fast prime core, three fast performance cores and four energy-saving processor cores for less complicated work. The graphics unit also offers 10-20% more performance than its predecessor, making it a powerful GPU indeed. The device gets quite warm under sustained loads, possibly so much so that the device will feel uncomfortable to the touch in summer.

Reviewer score 66%The OnePlus 8 Pro takes great pictures, and anyone who uses one to snap a landscape or a portrait in good-enough lighting will be happy with the results. However, it still feels like a generation or two behind the smartphone leaders. At $1,000, the 8 Pro should stand up to those in other like-priced handsets.

Reviewer score 86%The Pro is the biggest, meanest, and best smartphone OnePlus has put out thus far. It features a fantastic set of cameras, a big, gorgeous, 120 Hz AMOLED screen, the fastest possible hardware on an Android phone, and an impressive battery. The 8 Pro's camera is definitely an improvement over its cheaper sibling, but it also has a bunch of quirks that you may or may not like.

Pros

Reviewer score 83%The 8 Pro has 30W wired charging but backs it up with 30W wireless charging as well. Despite both methods hitting 30W the wired tech is more efficient and thus a bit faster still. As for actual battery performance, it's pretty solid but not awe-inspiring. The 8 Pro ships with Android 10 and OxygenOS 10.5, which doesn't change much. Dark mode gets a few tweaks but still isn't schedulable, or easy to turn on and off without diving deep into settings menus.

Reviewer score 91%There's plenty of power under the hood of the OnePlus 8 Pro, with the phone featuring Qualcomm's top-of-the-line Snapdragon 865 chipset. The 8 Pro (with 12GB of RAM) recorded an average multi-core benchmark score of 3305 on Geekbench 5.1. This means the 8 Pro is a supremely powerful device, and one which should be suitably future-proofed in terms of power, as well as connectivity thanks to its 5G capabilities.

Reviewer score 84%The OnePlus 8 Pro has a respectable — but not perfect — camera. It's using the same sensor as last year's 7T, which means the ultrawide is notably better than the competition. In bright lighting conditions, I was consistently impressed with both the level of detail and color accuracy. When the lights are low, this camera trips over itself.

Pros

Reviewer score 85%There is a zoom lens too, in the form of an 8-megapixel camera with OIS. There’s no form of periscope zooming though, a feature you’ll find on recent flagships like the Galaxy S20 Ultra, Oppo Find X2 Pro and Huawei P40 Pro. The 8 Pro has a better, newer sensor than the OnePlus 8 and the difference does show. 4K video shot on the Pro is a lot sharper and smoother, while low-light snaps retain more detail and don’t rely so much on brightness. Pictures do lack the strong dynamic range of the recent Galaxy S 20 phones and the Pixel 4, meaning shots with a lot of variation in colour aren't as striking.

Pros
- Great value for money
- Great camera quality
- Great battery life
Cons
- Odd 5-megapixel camera
- No wireless charging
- No IP rating

Reviewer score 80%WarpCharge 30T Wireless can charge the 8 Pro from empty to half-full in 30 minutes. The phone also works with Qi charging at 10W. The 8 Pro puts up a good fight to the Samsung Galaxy S20 in respects to screen and camera performance. It delivers a bold, clear and upfront listen that's reasonably detailed but much cruder than what's on offer from Samsung.
