"Make some breakfast"
Pours water into mug
Ah yes, hot water the most nutritious breakfast of them all
If you take a closer look, the mug has a tea bag in it 😉
@@afsilvas124 its still not nutritious
I went from an iPhone 11 to the 8T and am never looking back! The phone is amazing, way better than any phone I've handled this year!
seriously , im thinking of that too, I’m using iPhone 11 for 4 months but still not a fan of it,so is it worth changing iPhone 11 to One plus 8T ??
@@mehedihasanridoy8240 me also
From the 11 to 8T?? Wow, this phone really must be awsome!
What were your thoughts / your reasons to go for the 8T?
The iphone 11 was a good phone but it lacked in a few areas. The charging was slow, the battery was lack luster since I'm a power user, I use my all through the day watching UA-cam, listening to music and video calling and texting. I reply to emails constantly on my phone and I shop almost exclusively on my phone too. So I have a lot of apps including media streaming like netflix, hulu etc. So having a phone that can actually go all day without needing to spend an hour or two on the charger was a must. I bought the fastest charger it could handle but I stilled needed to charge 3 times a day. Which was a pain, I'm on the go a lot during the day so I don't have much time to just sit somewhere and charge. I also have a charging brick in my backpack but nobody wants to deal with more shit when they don't have too lol.
The resolution isn't great, the iphone 11 looks great, but nowhere near the one plus 8T. I'm in college, I do programming and design and UX development. I'm also a gamer. So when I go to college, I bring my tablet and random extra stuff, my sennheiser headphones and my phone. Plus all chargers and books. I try my best to keep everything as minimal as possible. So when I'm in class and I need to work on something while doing something for work I use my phone and my tablet. Well it sucks when I need to switch because the iphone doesn't support the wide enough gamut that I need to see if a specific layout looks good or give any feedback. So unless I bring another device which further adds to the bulk I'm constantly shifting apps and progress between the two which is tiresome.
The camera is great on the iphone but I'm not like a big picture person with my phone. I have a dslr for that. So that's a mute point.
The performance is great but only when you're not multitasking. I constantly have 6-10 things going all the time. I've noticed that the iphone is beyond sluggish in that regard. The 8t I have now has 12gb of ram. More than enough to keep things going and still be snappy when I reply to emails and messages. For example, my iphone would get slow to the point where I'd type out a message, then it would take like a second for that message to actually type out. Like it needed to catch up to my finger typing skills lol
Build quality was great, albeit the screen was brittle as hell. I broke the screen 6 times in 4 months. I replaced them myself so that saved me a ton of money. But I haven't had a single issue with my 8T in those terms.
Last but not least, fluid integration with my other devices. I use a tab S7 5G tablet. I use a Linux kernal for work and a windows pc for gaming. No matter how you slice it, android just works better when dealing with those devices.
Those are the reasons why I switched and why I'll stay with one plus for the foreseeable future. Hope it helps!
I don't know what you guys are talking about. I mean yeah OnePlus 8T is a great phone EXCEPT THE CAMERA! I have been using it for a while after my iPhone XR. The photos are super duper weird. It bumps up the contrast and drags down the saturation to unreal levels, in fact upto the point that even an iPhone 6 would have better colours! The portrait mode is straight up lifeless. The ultrawide lacks detail and even a slight hand movement translates to unusable photo standards. The shutter lag is apparent and the post processing totally changes the photo from what you see on the screen, that too in a bad way. I was looking forward towards other smartphones but the Huawei had no Google support, OnePlus 8 pro had a curved display, the galaxy S20+ had an exynos processor and iPhone 11 had an LCD screen. I would have called OnePlus 8T as the best phone till date only if it had an image processing software that matched at least Samsung's! But now it's an ordinary phone which fails at one of the most important aspect of the phone and that is CAMERA!
The phone is not bad in itself, but it disappoints as in it could have been one of the best smartphones only if the camera wasn't a caveat. I would have loved to spend 100$ more for a camera that at least matched iPhone SE levels.
Getting sick and tired of reviewers harping about 'mediocre camera' when the pictures look perfectly fine through my eyes. You can only see marginal differences when you compare the pictures from other phones side by side. Sure, iPhone 12 and Galaxy Note S20 take slightly better pictures but if picture quality is your be all and end all, then just get a DSLR from Nikon/Canon or top of the line mirrorless from Sony since I'm pretty sure those cameras beat the shit out of whatever tiny camera modules used by Apple or Samsung!
Lmao he even said it has the same sensor from the 8 Pro which isn't true and he even mentioned it has a telephoto lens. He didn't even talk about the wide angle lens improvement. Really disappointed on the camera section.
So trueeeeee man I cannot tell you how many people complain about the camera and can’t even give a actual reason why it’s bad just say u like iPhones camera and move on. Most people who try to talk trash about the camera have no idea what they’re on about.
Use a camera from any other similarly priced smartphones and u will spot the difference.
I though it was me alone they always on cameras but common man its a phone and they take damn good pic's only those folks who creat content would know about the camera stuff
Thanks for this review!
May eventually switch to the 8T when my OnePlus 6 finally dies. Don't think I'll ever abandon the OnePlus brand as long as they keep up the good run, it's been a breathe of fresh air brand after being used to only Nexus & HTC.
I literally just switched to the 8T from my OP6.........felt it was a bit slower & battery life really dropped. The 8T has been superb......go for it!
@@johnnymonkey66 I am thinking of upgrading from my oneplus6T. That phone is awesome being 2 years old and still working great. I want to get another phone that will last just as long.
Same case here I used to believe HTC but after they failed I found OnePlus as new HTC for me
@@dtsoria yoo I'm getting my 8T tomorrow coming from the 6T. I think it's the right move sir. OP9 NOT WORTH THE PRICE
Comes with pre installed screen protector out of box so that will be the protector scratched, not the screen. Unless you peeled it off✌️
Thanks! I own a One plus 7t and was wondering if I should upgrade mine, even though this 7t is still rocking and fast. Thanks for breaking down all the details
Very helpful review!
Especially the "you can't go wrong with this phone" was very calming. Because I also love the software and charging speed but I've been unsure with the camera quality.
I personally like the higher contrast photos but some things seem to not work thaaat well but, as you said, "okay".
So I would think as long as the camera turns out better than my old Galaxy S8, I will be happy !
I watch every video of yours and pls keep doing them Facundo! Good job as always! 👍
Am I the only one who thinks the photos on the 8T had better and Sharper dynamic range and colour? Also gcam is easy to get on android
What app do you use to flash the hole punch cutout while unlocking the lock screen?
You are the Best youtuber Bro, I wonder why you wont get much views/subs.
Just bought it two days ago, the screen is a bit too big for me, but man it is a good phone. Extremely fast charging, good camera, and that refresh rate is really smooth
Great video! 8T is arriving tomorrow as not happy with the iPhone 12 Pro.
How was 8t
I don't think you have to worry about water resistance, i can't imagine the T-Mobile version to be any different from the non T-Mobile versions, T-Mobile just went ahead and got it tested.
Great video! Always love your channel. Shame u are not getting views like before. I will always check for u brother.
Literally no one:
How to men: cherry on top
Is there any security comes build in oneplus 8t as like google and samsung phones which have hardware security intrgrated in there flagships..??
Started with the OP 6T. Loved it, thought it was the best one yet. Then I upgraded to the 7T and was still blown away how good the phone was even when the next gens came out. Looking at the OP 8T it's tempting asf!.
i'm on 6t as well and on the fence. love this guy and wondering if waiting for SD888 might be better?
Great review Facundo! But, of the 4 cameras found on the OnePlus 8T, none of them is a Telephoto Lens.
Have a good day! :)
What do you think about the battery? I expected much more, I hardly get 4:30 hours SOT as a daily use, std use, not gaming...
Watching and re-watching video comparisons of the 8T vs the Galaxy S20 FE (which is perhaps its nearest rival in specs and price range) i found the 8T's white balance if off, inferior (low bitrate/muffled/mono sounding) audio recording on video, poor dynamic range in Night Mode (main), zero Night Mode in selfie camera, micro jitters in video (all main cameras), least detailed portrait shots and darker selfies in low light. I know it was a mouthful but was i correct in my assessments? Have OnePlus fixed some of these issues? Or do they still persists?
Thanks for the review. I am aiming to get an 8T soon. I currently have a 6T. The fast charging will be a big plus for me as I use my phone all the time for work.
Me too but the camera pics and video still suck. So I'm waiting for the next OnePlus or looking at the pixel 5
I have the same phone and whenever I play among us or open any app that contains ads, it always puts me back to the homescreen and it is getting really frustrating. Can someone please help?
I'm running a OP7T at the moment and it's the 4th device from oneplus that Im using since 2016. I have no complains with oneplus phones except the image quality. Now I'm expecting some really great changes on OP9 pro to upgrade next.
Thanks for the video 🤟🏻
what icon pack are you using?
somehow this isn't a top tech channel, thats crazy
Great review. I have a OP phone now but just assumed I'd go with the 4a at half the price. Wouldn't that be a better move?
I like ur all videos i want an information i m using iphone can u tell how long does Samsung’s flagship phone last as i use iphones for 3-4 years. Will Samsung also be able to deliver same performance for 3-4 years in exynos variant as i m from india. I want this information because now i want to switch to android . Please Guide . Thanks in advance.
I really enjoy with this review, I think it's time to switch from Samsung to oneplus to get a new experience exactly for the animation that oneplus gave you as a user. thanks for your efforts like from Iraq 👍
How's your notification shade dark black instead of gray??
I received mine on Nov 9th and it's still brand new, sealed in box because I don't wanna use it until the case I ordered comes. I'm very disappointed that it doesn't come with the usual clear case that Oneplus use to include with their phones.
Which wallpaper you are using bro
Gorilla glass 5 and it scratches if you put it on a table facing down?
Great and to the point. Thanks
Can we get a video on that setup? It looks sick
Which Icon Pack you used in this video?
Sir, in the ending, pls put the recommended video text at the right and the latest video in the left. Bcoz I saw your best Android apps November at the left and the best Android apps: October in the right
Can you link the Wallpaper you are using? I have the 8T and I love the wallpaper you have there!
If camera is the focus, which one would be the best buy in this range.?
Thanks for the review 😁👍
Great review, the camera tho isn't the same as the 8 pro, it's the same as the 7 pro
Great video. Thanks 👍👍👍
Name of the wallpaper, please?
I just got this 3 days ago and I cant reach 6-7 hr screen on time at all! It's only at up to 5, sometimes 6 hr for me. Is this normal or should I just return it or wait for the adaptive battery to kick in?
Looks sick, what's that theme?
if your screen is scratched and youre getting a screen protector after the fact then get one with UV glue.
i did the same and when the screen protector itself got damaged and i took it off i couldnt see the initial scratches anymore
Hey what should I choose between OnePlus 8T and Samsung s20 4G Exynos version as overall phone if it's the same price?
Same price with s10+ exynos in my country and i still think which one should i choose
when you where saying there is a lot of work to do when comparing it to the pixel 5 i actually liked the pictures of the oneplus 8 better. they literally looked sharper and with better colors. only the portrait mode i would say is better on the pixel.
What wallpaper is that?
How to download those icon packs??
April 2021 I can get it for 480 euros ~500 USD in Europe. Should I buy it? I am not paying more than 500 dls for a phone.
Still on my OnePlus 3. Finally thinking of upgrading to 8T
Could you show some way change the fonts in 8T apart from the 2 stock options?
There's usually an option in the settings, but you can always download a 3rd party app
I use Nova Launcher on my 8t with the Jugo icon icon pack. All free on the Play store.
I went from a Galaxy S7 to an 8T so like, this thing blows me away every single day. Also, I haven't even played with the gaming mode yet so gotta try that here soon
Is it still doing good? I might get the 8t bc it's only 599$
Like the setup🔥🔥
Why do Android Police, Zachary Anderson, HowToMen always get the coolest sponsors? Man, I love those sponsors tbh.
I absolutely love your videos. You seem to put so much work into them and they're so professional. I hope you get more views again soon, you truely deserve it. Keep it up and don't let it demotivate you!
Still have my 3t and I can't choose if I want a new one. I just know that I really love One Plus
loved that phone but I had to upgrade
How is your battery coming along?
@@kaushikraghu6311 like 3-4 hours of rather heavy use
Same but I'm moving on to the 8t because deteriorating battery life aside, the volume buttons on mine are jammed so I have to go to the settings if I wanna adjust the volume and it constantly restarts the phone by itself which is kinda annoying so yeah
Still blows my mind when I read stuff like that. Wow thats amazing
I'm changing from 5 to 8t, I'm only changing because 5 already has some bugs, legs and the battery is not 100%, but it's still a great phone. I hope to make the 8t last for 3-4 years too.
On sale at B&H right now for $629 OnePlus wireless buds included, amazing value
Is there a clear winner between the 8T and the Galaxy S20 FE 5G for the exact same price? Thanks
If you don't care much about the camera you should go for the 8T.
What's your main phone you use?
How can u use gesture navigation with Nova launcher ???? 😳
Love the review.
Why are people so serious about the water resistance and wireless charging? The phone IS 100% waterproof, just wach videos where someone put it in water for hours, its ridicouls to think, that it would break when it fells in the sink or pool. and wireless charging is just not usefull for 95% of people who buy it
Does anyone know what widget he uses ?
Great video man. I was going to get the OnePlus 8 Pro, then right before pulling the trigger I discovered its rampant display issues, and started looking at the 8T as an alternative. I know Samsung S20 beats OnePlus in a lot of ways such as the camera, but I feel I just can't accept Samsung's locked bootloader (no custom ROMs, mods or root access). The 8T seems like a really solid phone, just missing a few features here and there. I love that it has a flat display unlike the 8 Pro. Thanks for the honest review!
Does anyone know of a phone that has everything the S20 has, but with an unlocked bootloader?
Maybe the Sony Xperia 5 II?
Didnt they fixed the screen issues?
The best android phone I've used this year is the pixel 5. I'm really tired with big phones. The pixel 5 makes me regrets using big phones all the time
You mean best in size??
I wish pixel 5 has better processor and speakers and a headphone jack. It should also have 512gb storage.
The IP rating is only for the T-Mobile version yes but the only difference between the two is software so it technically is IP 68 certified. You also said that the main sensor is basically the same as the 8 Pro, that is so wrong. Other than that it was a decent review.
I think he meant same as OP8
I really want a OnePlus phone but I'm waiting to see what the OnePlus 9 offers most due to wanting a better camera
Is this phone still a good buy , for 2021/22 ?
I am into photography and videography and other video stuff which mobile should I buy ??? please suggest should I wait for one plus 9? please help
LG. Sony. Mi 10t ultra or pro
I don`t understand why 1+ refused to add lpddr5 on this flagship. Beside the epic 120hz fluid amoled screen, mi 10t pro crush it at everything else (oxygen os might count too)
Nice haircut bro!
Great review
Which themes is used by u in 8T
Tell us
6:03 No it is not pretty much the same sensor as the 8 pro. Its the same as the oneplus 7 sensor.
6:15 No it does not have a telephoto lens.
Stop acting like an expert when you’re not
that 2x is digital zoom
@@dbookios4772 he speaking fax
@@dbookios4772 the arrogance when someone gets corrected....
Awesome video see you in the next one.
Tnx. Great review.
Is it worth upgrading from the 7t?
No
No,better wait for the next phone
HowToMen-This is the most powerful gaming mode in any Android
ASUS ROG-Are you freaking kidding me
I don't think this phone has a telephoto lens it's just digital zoom right?
The best thing about this phone is that they actually included a 65W chapter brick in the box.... Which was pretty useful to use with the Samsung Tab S7
I have the one plus 6T and it's still going strong. i can't decide if I want the iphone 12 or the one plus 8T. Which one is better?? It would be my first iphone
If you want more gaming power and I would argue a more rounded software on a phone that probably won’t disappoint anywhere but charging speed, go iphone. If you want that fast charging with the android software go 8t. The iPhone will beat in performance but the modern phones are all so good it is software preference by now. 👍 IOS=IPhone 12 Android=8t
Great video.
Top , thank you 👍🙏👍
The only thing I would say is that just because it doesn't have an official IP rating, doesn't mean that it is water or dust proof.
It does not have same cameras as 8 Pro, actually all sensors on 8 Pro are different besides 48MP ultra wide being main in 8T.
Can anyone help me with the widget?
Watching this from my OP 8T i bought two weeks ago. It blew my mind coming from a Pocophone F1
Im planning to upgrade to oneplus 8t but been reading data breach issue in their company and also data collect on 2017. Im not sure whether i should go for it
@@morpheusmorph13 everyone is harvesting data on the internet that's why you have to be careful what you put on the internet
I am doing this exact change too. The phone should arrive today or tomorrow according to post and I'm quite nervous jajajaja Hoping it be worth it
Are there any issues bro because in Amazon review there are lot
@@dileepgutta1390 i ve had the phone got 2 weeks and its working great. However, I don't think it's a huge upgrade if you are coming from a Pocophone f1. Yeah you have the wide angle camera and the video stabilization, but other than that, as a phone, it's not a big jump.
Got the #Oneplus8T a year later & it is still highly competitive with other phones AND priced lower. used #Amazonrenewal & got the #Tmobile with #IP68 It's a win-win!!
Look I hav nothing to do wid wireless charging, I am personally not photographer shooting in swimming pool. I am really a big fan of 8T in dis range...
i'm coming from a iPhone 6 plus and Samsung galaxy A51 so i'm pretty sure this is gonna be a big step up and the internet net says that the oneplus 8t camera is better than the A51 and i thought the a51 had a amazing camera so i don't think i will have any problems
Currently on glaxy a31 I want to switch to a better Android with good power reading through the comments the main complaints/problems is the camera which I'm not too fussed about,I just want a phone that can run cod mobile well and not have any issues, I was looking at poco x3 pro,redmi note 10 pro and galaxy a71 all r ok and similar prices to the 8t but reading through a lot of the reviews for this devices they have too many issues and the only issue that I've seen people complaining about for the 8t is the camera which,like I said I'm not too fussed about WOULD YOU RECOMMEND THIS OVER MY CURRENT PHONE AND LIST SOME PROBLEMS OF THE 8T
i'm still using one plus 6t .... and oh boy it's great.... I think one plus devices are really good.... it's fast, durable, the battery is good enough and the battery life is still decent... my past smartphone was pixel which was good but the battery was not that good .... it died pretty fast.... but the camera of pixel is tooooooo gooood.
Absolutely great video, but next time you break out your breakfast, try some Argentinian "Mate," saludos y bendiciones!
Can someone tell me if the China version would have 5G in USA? It only has n41
n41 is only used by Tmobile
Help me plz buy it or 8 pro any one help me plz??????
Wallpaper?
How about trying GCAM on the 8T? Would love to see if the GCAM makes a difference or not
No, it doesn't sadly
After update stock came bettee
