The One Plus’s yearly flagship entry is here and it does check all the boxes. The One Plus 8 Pro is their premium flagship offering for this year and deserves to be in the echelon of the finest android devices out there. The model, however, has embraced the luxuriously priced category that does not limit it from going overboard with top of the line components.
The One Plus 8 Pro has eradicated the two big problems associated with their earlier models. The first one being average camera performance which is now nearly-obliterated because of the newer, efficient camera module. One Plus 8 Pro possesses a rear quad-camera setup with two 48-megapixel sensors- one primary and one ultra-wide-angle. One more impressive attribute is that both the 48-megapixel sensors support Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) that guarantees better snaps and recordings even when things turn dicey.
The phone comes with a Quad HD display with a resolution of 3168 x 1440 pixels at 513 PPI. The fluid Amoled display is rarely implemented in highly-stretched models like this one with a massive screen size of 6.78 inches. The display produces deeper blacks and good contrast and is completely visible in direct sunlight conditions because of the striking 1300 nits brightness capacity.

Cons / BAD

- Prone to accidental touches due to the curved display
- No 3.5mm headphone jack

OnePlus 8 Pro Specification
Conclusion – Should you Buy or Not?
Overall, One Plus 8 Pro is a stunning device. The phone is precisely optimized and even basic animations appear to have a lot of work put into them. The Snapdragon 865 supports 5G and does not excessively heat up even while gaming on extreme settings with HDR mode enabled. The Oxygen OS has consistently improved over the years and is a USP of the one plus devices. The memory management is efficient because of the much faster LPDDR5 memory that keeps applications in memory for a longer duration and does not auto-close them.
The camera renders beautiful images with soft corners, deeper colors, and good auto-focus capability. The night mode is not overwhelming and produces more natural colors. The dual OIS ensures high-framerate video recording with more detail in backlit conditions. The phone’s DxO mark score has trumped the Galaxy S20+, landing a spot in the top 10 best camera phones. The phone is a worthy choice for flagship seekers that require a well-optimized phone with top-notch specs.
