OnePlus 8

Design and Display

The OnePlus 8 design may be an improvement over the OnePlus 7, however, enthusiasts who owned last year’s OnePlus 7 Pro won’t be super wowed, due to the resemblance it bears with OnePlus 8.

Taking a tour of its chassis, you discover it has the same setup on the rear setup as that of the Oneplus 7 Pro, which comprises of a centered camera bump housing triple cameras, the Oneplus logo and moniker. You also get the same curved edges we saw on the OnePlus 7 Pro.

Upfront, we have a setup that’s different from what we saw on the OnePlus 7 and 7 Pro. This year OnePlus ditched the notch system and also ditched the Pop-camera mechanism, living us with a punch-hole camera.

The OnePlus 8 features a 6.55-inch Fluid AMOLED display with a screen resolution of 2400 x 1080 pixels, a screen density of 402 PPI, and a 90Hz refresh rate.

The Cameras

The Cameras on the OnePlus 8 is one of the less premium features that makes it cheaper than its premium sibling. For starters, it features a triple rear camera system as opposed to the quad rear camera system on the OnePlus 8 Pro.

The triple camera setup on the OnePlus 8 comprises of a 48MP primary camera with a Sony IMX586 sensor, a 2MP macro camera, and a 16MP ultrawide camera.

This rear camera setup is capable of shooting 4k videos at 30 and 60fps, 1080p videos at 30 and 60fps. You also get to shoot 1080p slow-motion videos at 240fps and also shoot slow-motion 720p video at 480fps.

The tradeoffs here are a less powerful ultrawide camera. The Oneplus 8 Pro features a 48MP ultrawide camera as opposed to the 16MP ultrawide camera on the Oneplus 8. There is also a telephoto camera on the Oneplus 8 Pro.

Selfies are manned by a 16MP front camera with a Sony IMX471 sensor. This camera is also capable of shooting 1080p videos at 30fps.

Hardware and Software

Nested in this Android phone is an Octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 processor, 8GB or 12GB of RAM, 128GB or 256GB of internal storage, and a non-removable 4300 mAh Li-Po battery.
