OnePlus 8 Pro – Best Peforming OnePlus Smartphone

Once upon a time, OnePlus smartphones were known as flagship killers. But in recent years, OnePlus has up their game and the OnePlus 8 Pro is a true flagship device from OnePlus. It almost checks every box, that a flagship should and it definitely deserves to be in the first place in our list of best OnePlus smartphones in India.

Design and Build

If you are familiar with any recent OnePlus smartphone, OnePlus 8 Pro should not surprise you in the design department. The overall design is quite similar to that of any recent OnePlus smartphone. This smartphone is tall with a slightly curved back panel. The OnePlus 8 Pro has an aluminum frame.

It uses a familiar soft-touch glass back. The main camera array looks almost identical to the 7 Pro, with some additional sensors. Instead of a pop-up camera for selfie shooter, it has a single punch hole in the top left corner of the display. The display is rounded on the sides and as a result, the display offers a more immersive experience.

So the overall build and design of the OnePlus 8 Pro are very minimal.

Display and Performance

The OnePlus 8 Pro has a 6.78-inch QHD+ display panel. The resolution is 1440×3168-pixel. It is an AMOLED display panel, with HDR10+ support. The new exciting feature about this display is the 120Hz refresh rate, which is a bump up from last year’s 90Hz on the OnePlus 7T Pro.

The OnePlus 8 Pro is one of the few smartphones that supports 120Hz refresh rate at the QHD+ resolution, which is something that Samsung’s S20 series lacks. But it has a downside, if you use 120Hz with QHD+ resolution, it will definitely put a strain on the battery.

The OnePlus 8 Pro is equipped with Snapdragon 865 Soc and is paired with an X55 5G modem. This gives it support for 5G connectivity. The base model comes with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. There’s a second variant, which has 12GB of RAM and 256GB. It users LPDDR5 RAM, which is power efficient. So in terms of performance, OnePlus 8 Pro is currently one of the best OnePlus smartphones in India.

Camera

The camera department is something, where the OnePlus smartphones fall short compared to the flagships from Samsung and Google. But with OnePlus 8 Pro, OnePlus has done a great job. At the back, the primary sensor is a 48MP Sony IMX689 sensor and has an aperture of f/1.78. It comes with a larger pixel size of 1.12 micrometers. It has OIS that is optical image stabilization.

 The second sensor is a wide-angle sensor. This wide-angle sensor gets a big upgrade. Now it’s a 48MP Sony IMX586 sensor with 119.7-degree FOV. There’s also a telephoto lens that has an 8MP resolution, with optical stabilization. It supports 3x hybrid zoom and up to 30x digital zoom. There’s also a Color Filter camera. It is a 5MP shooter. For selfies, it has a 16MP Sony IMX471 sensor with an f/2.45 aperture.

Battery

The OnePlus 8 Pro is packed with a 4,510mAh battery, which considering the display panel, is quite decent. It also supports 30W wired and wireless charging. Yes, finally OnePlus has introduced wireless charging with the OnePlus 8 Pro. It also supports 3W reverse wireless charging. Plus it also gets official IP68 water resistance, so that’s nice too.

Verdict

The OnePlus 8 Pro is a complete package with an amazing and crisp display, great internals, and optics and it definitely deserves to be in this list of best OnePlus smartphones in India.
