Is a $900 OnePlus a little rich for your blood? Vent all you want, friends, but not before you learn about the less-expensive version of this phone, in my OnePlus 8 Review: ua-cam.com/video/I6WSY1O-PsA/v-deo.html
Since OnePlus 8 lite is nowhere to be seen right now, I'm guessing OnePlus is saving it to become the "T" version and a "T pro" would also be presented, killing the 8 pro.
The Samsung S20 is actually for a while now $800 (B&H, Amazon, ...). So it's at the moment more expensive. Although granted, we might see similar price cuts here later on.
He has not mentioned oneplus 8 camera. It is a downgrade to oneplus 7t camera. They have removed telephoto lens with oneplus 8 and same sensor has 7t for main camera. Oneplus is just getting greedy.
Bob Smith Ip wasn't required. Consumers survived quite long without it. It wouldn't be a problem now. WC-They have fast charge. 5G-Debatable topic. Depends on companies and their infrastructure. But honestly not required. Latest Sanpdragon processor-Maybe. Spec changes should be the only thing this company focuses on. Less incurred cost on r and d and implementing unrequired tech. More on phone design,specs and advertising. This could be the peoples phone too. OP destroyed this one.
@@anonymousguy3826 Honestly, the way they could make this phone better would be if they took the 512GB option from the OPPO Find X2 Pro, and enabled 8K video recording... Obviously, it'd cost $1100 and people would whine that somehow being $400 cheaper than an equivalent Samsung Galaxy is too expensive.
In my perpective, I just change my phone twice at 1 network generation. For example I change my phone twice at 4G era. I believe newer network it's significant thing.
Buying a phone is a 3-4 year investment, you don't go buy a phone every month. You do your research and buy a good phone that could last you for good amount of time, paying 1k for a oneplus for example is absurd but it could last you at least 3 years, plus on the good side we have lots of options nowadays you can buy a great phone for way less than that absurd price.
I m still using the one plus 3t and it runs like a champ for day to day tasks ... Games is a big no now though ... But yeah I am keeping the 3t for one more year I guess
That's such a stupid argument. No wonder why your wage wasn't doubled. Even the 300$ phones now are much better than the flagships of 10 year old. While the flagship smartphones are now are comparable to an average laptop, camera, video recorder 10 years ago. All in one.
Considering phones have thousands of times increased in preformance and the fact the phones cost about 500-600 to produce in the first place the price is fine

There is no reason to upgrade from 1 or 2 years old flagship phones, unless your screen is broken or the phone has other issues. Never understood why people have the need to upgrade their phones every year. If you have a flagship, it should be ok for 2-3 years, sometimes even more
OnePlus 'Never Settle' - OverPriced 'Never Cheap'. OnePlus used to be a flagship killer but no more. With the world in lock down and unemployment rising, who has the money to burn? MId-range phones are going to be future whether we like it or not.
Same here. I have oneplus 3t, had it for years, still works great but might upgrade to 7t pro at the end of the year. It's currently 530ish and I'd imagine towards the year end it'll be even cheaper. Basically last year's flagships are more or less the same as current flagships. As theres not that big of a jump in tech so paying a grand for a phone just seems silly to me.
Agreed. With android phones they lose almost half their value after 6 months and all the bugs/issues have been worked out by then. That's why I always buy a 6 month old flagship.
Everyone complained about OnePlus phones not having wireless charging and a water resistant rating. Now they have some of the fastest wireless charging on the market and the ips rating. Neither of those 2 options are cheap. So if you want the options you have to pay. And the OnePlus 8 pro is still a cheaper option than a lot of other flagships so I'd say it's still a flagship killer. Just my opinion
Funny how the majority of people loved it until they announced the price point.. Years bitching about no I.P & wireless charging. Y'all thought Oneplus wasn't going to pass the cost right back to the consumer. Give me a break people, things come with a price.
Yes things come with a price. But you should not forget that majority of your customers are those who can afford midrange flagship price phones and not actual flagships. Oneplus killed its enthusiasts.
When people complain about palm rejection on curved screens, its because they didnt use it as their personal device, because when you have a case on, it is never a problem. Goes to show how this reviewers dont actually use the phone like a normal person.
Its okay for US where S20 comes with Snapdragon. But for us in the exynos region, OP8Pro is much more appealing. You may lose out slightly on the camera but you get better perfomance overall.
@@MrWhis-fe5hs I own a xiaomi mi9T pro which has Snapdragon 865 and im happy with it. And that's the last xiaomi I'm gonna own, since now xiaomi's flagship mi 10 pro is a 4 digit phone in my country. Thanks but no thanks Xiaomi!😶 (Edit: and still it's not waterproof at that price!)
@@SaintVader 855* but I relate to what you have said. It is simply foolish to pay over $500 for what is essentially a daily use tool. Even though I don't use/like miui, I prefer Mi phones because of the great third party development which greatly impacts the longevity of the device. I use Mi 9T pro too
People becoming more and more retarded. They want the high end specs but don't want to pay for it. Then OnePlus comes with the budget with the budget options with a balance of price and performance and still they keep cribbing.
I'll stick with my OnePlus 7 Pro. I don't care about wireless charging and I much prefer the fully uninterrupted screen on the 7 Pro over the camera cut out on the 8 Pro.
@@syedia Exactly. It does everything I need. all the usual stuff. Plus I take all my Instagram pictures using it. As well as shooting all my UA-cam videos.
@@Saurabh-hx1yp It's probably more in the sense that in that price category, it's up against both the iPhone 11 Pro and the Pixel 4, both of which have excellent cameras in the context of smartphones. OnePlus historically hasn't been exactly stellar with cameras. In the past, people would be fine because they were saving money on them. Right now though, with this phone very nearly $1000 in price, it's inevitable that they're gonna compare it to nothing but the best and while this is the best OnePlus camera ever (I mean, that's obvious), they've still got some ways to go.
@@Saurabh-hx1yp I'm not really complaining though. I still use a 2.5 year old Galaxy Note8 as my daily, of which its camera performance is good but nothing outstanding anymore. I have the Fujifilm X-T3 along with an assortment of gear for when I'm going for a proper photoshoot. Just at least explaining why people would kinda feel a bit salty about the camera. And to be fair to the S20 Ultra, they are being pretty ambitious about it......maybe too ambitious.
Sounds good. Will it have the irritating punch hole? I like the idea of the front camera, which I never use, popping up, or just not being there (which would never happen). Thanks!
That curved display makes this a hardcore no buy for me! Why should I buy something, that will annoy me every fucking day with accidental inputs and with that not getting THE basic function of any smartphone right?!
I've had my OnePlus 8 Pro since late May - Australian customer, I had to import it as they're still not selling them here officially. From personal experience, and from what I can tell reading various comments and threads, it seems after the few updates the device has gotten since it's release, this phone is now right up there in terms of all round features, camera quality, phone performance, etc with Apple and Samsung... honestly, I have used this thing heavily everyday for work and it's not let me down once.
The price of phones are just getting silly, I thought my old Samsung S9+ was expensive at the time but even though i'm due an upgrade I cant justify the expense of getting a new phone that does little more than my S9+.
Your better off just buying last year's flagships at a reduced price. Wait till next year the current options may start looking pretty good. I just got my 7t for $500.
One plus lost their way after one Plus 6. They stop listening to their core fans and start milking their costumers. They try to become apple 2.0 of Android world. Well I ain't supporting that . Sent from OnePlus 3T.
Everyone being asking for ip certification wireless charging better cameras since oneplus 3 you want all these for the old price? If only fans could stop bitching about everything and use their brains you want a flagship but with the price of a budget phone?
The 7t is better than the 3T in every conceivable way and I bought mine recently for $500 which is like half the price of the new galaxy or iphone. If you want to be a peasant go do it in private
@@amartinez97 so your mindset is that since its cheaper than an iphone or a samsung its good for the price? Hows that being a peasant?people using their brains and avoiding overpriced stuff and gadgets has become peasentary now?sad sad life for you enthusiasts...500 dollars is still 500 dollars.. And theyre asking 900 for this 8 pro version..the 8t hasnt even been announced yet...whatll that bring?more money for more unneccessary stuff?
Idk, LGs have headphone jacks still (and the best quality DACs)... Yet almost nobody buys them. Everybody says it's such a huge problem, but the majority of their purchasing dollars say otherwise.
@@benjmiester I buy a phone every year. Currently using the Redmi K20 Pro. Will replace it around August. And I m sure as hell not gonna buy a phone that doesn't have headphone jack.
@@benjmiester To be fair LG has a hard time selling for two big reasons. 1. They UI is not close to stock android or are polished as say Samsung's (never thought I'd say that after hating touchwiz). 2. LG has a horrid reputation due to the bootloop issues the G2-G4 had, don't get me started on the awful LG G5, worthless device completely died on me in barely 17 months.
Moved from iphone x to op8pro. This is the first android phone in a long time that makes me excited. It has everything on flagship level without compromises. It has long software support, silence button, screen, double speakers, good camera. I hope that oneplus 9 will be even better and will keep me in the android world for a little bit longer.
@@orbit6663 hole in the screen the future too? That's going backwards lol, the only reason the do it is to get the ip68 and it's cheaper to put a hole in the screen than a pop up camera..I'll take pop up camera anyday
I hated my Oneplus 6 because the battery life was shit, though for some users it may be alright, obviously if I want a good battery I can get the 6t, I guess most people would be fine wit the regular 6, but not me.
The truth is many people who bought OnePlus phones in the beginning can't afford them anymore. Without whose support OnePlus wouldn't be where they are now. They should make a phone like Pixel 3a.
"Oh, are you sure you want to turn on MobileData/BatterySaver/Location/Airplane/Whatever mode?" Data charges may apply." No of course not, it's not like your asking for the 300th fking time.
Waited on purchasing an S10 Ultra in order to see what the OnePlus 8 Pro had to offer and I have to say im so glad I did. Ultramarine Blue, 12 GB, 256. Ordered.
Well I mean they did offer a lot of brilliant phones at a very reasonable price for years, and if these folks want to try something different, let them be. Also there's the OnePlus 8 that's still cheaper than most of the flagships out there.
All those phones were flagship killers but year after year we demanded more of the phone and that comes with cost every buisness is in it for money thats just life.
Ofcourse. And "made by community" was another stunt that actually succeeded. The community app and how it is run by OnePlus to engage and aquire young enthusiasts has been successful as well. All of those for one single reason - > to build a strong userbase to sell later at a pretty high price.
Jeez. You guys really can't take having a flagship phone having a flagship price. It's expensive now because it's a flagship. Not because they had some secret agenda to grow the company. Oneplus made good cheap phones back in the day. But for Oneplus to survive with the big dogs getting better, they had no choice. Don't buy it if your wallet says so.
I hope there are very less reviewers... Who don't get their videos approved by the brand before publishing it... 👌👌 Love your honesty, voice, way of speaking & videos...Big Fan... 😍😍
Anyone else want a OnePlus 8 Pro vs Galaxy S20+ comparison (not the Ultra)? They have nearly identical hardware, save for the cameras, at different pricepoints, so it'd be interesting to see if, to the rich customer with money to burn, the price difference is justified.
The sad thing is now that we need a brand new manufacturer to come out with great phones at fair prices to stop Samsung and Apple from asking $2,000 next year for a top phone.
honestly this is a good year to skip upgrading the phones, hole punch displays, the current crisis ,and so on, gotta se what companies are up to next year other than price increase.
I still don't know why people are surprised by this move. It isn't just OnePlus getting more expensive, it's everyone. And not to mention the fact that this phone is built with the expensive snapdragon 865 as well as an expensive 120hrz display that is best in class. They are still a massive budget compared to the competition (except the iPhone see, crazy deal). I get the company isn't as inexpensive as they use to be but their phones are more premium than they use to be.
"OnePlus 8 Pro Review: Becoming the Villain" Well it is as the saying goes: You either die a hero, or live long enough to become the villain...or in this case I guess its You die a flagship killer or live long enough to become a flagship??
I really think this phone deserves a review re-do. I got it on launch day (minus shipping) and there's a lot here that got fixed...I'm talking "as I loaded it up had updates to fix various problems" fixed.
Probably one of the very few honest reviewrs left. You, Mobiletech are the only honest reviewers left. Channels like MadMax (or what his name his), Rene Ritchie, Austin, even MKHD and verge, their reviews can't be trusted. Keep up the work mate.
Micheal, I have been watching you videos like 5 years or more... The maturation of you and your videos are just... epic. Generally when I watch your review, they are inspiring me that everyone should try to do their work at his/her best. You are one of the best color producer screen in my life, even with 3.5mm jack.
I can't justify spending almost $1,000 on a cellphone. When the difference is basically wireless charging, an ip rating, a slightly better camera and quicker screen from my 6t to the 8 pro, yet the price is around $350 more. To me those are all things I can live without if the phone only costs $580 compared to $900.
I'm a little upset it's 900, but it makes sense. The cameras are actually competitive now, the snap 865, the 120hz, 30w fast charge, wireless charge, 256gig storage, 12 gigs of the good ram, full dynamic screen with a ton of customization, one of the best ui, modern up to date Android version, huge battery, good haptics. This phone literally is a flagship because if they want to make money they need to expand past the enthusiast community, cause you can't make money there, your company will die. They made 3 phones, the 8 and 8pro, both made for the standard phone user who wants everything (price comes with that too) or you can go for the 8t, the flagship killer with amazing specs (mostly the same as the pro but better charging but worse ram type) at a lower price, but quality will drop(it's to be expected)
My last oneplus was a 6t. I feel like the 7t was their peak... it’s all downhill from here for all of us fans from the beginning. But now my sister knows what a oneplus is and she only knows iPhones... so they are getting their name out there better at least.
Even 1+ can’t ignore that “Apple-Samsung” money forever! Everyone is talking about the new normal. Looks like we have achieved that with phone pricing.
i had a oneplus 3 upgraded to a pixel 2 and omg out of the three smartphones i've owned i tend to use them awhile and i had a Motorola razr in 2012 like a weirdy the oneplus 3 with oxygen os and the screen gesture control draw a circle on the screen it opens the camera draw a check mark you turn on the flash light is still my favorite smartphone i have owned

Agreed. With android phones they lose almost half their value after 6 months and all the bugs/issues have been worked out by then. That's why I always buy a 6 month old flagship.
Everyone complained about OnePlus phones not having wireless charging and a water resistant rating. Now they have some of the fastest wireless charging on the market and the ips rating. Neither of those 2 options are cheap. So if you want the options you have to pay. And the OnePlus 8 pro is still a cheaper option than a lot of other flagships so I'd say it's still a flagship killer. Just my opinion
Funny how the majority of people loved it until they announced the price point.. Years bitching about no I.P & wireless charging. Y'all thought Oneplus wasn't going to pass the cost right back to the consumer. Give me a break people, things come with a price.
Yes things come with a price. But you should not forget that majority of your customers are those who can afford midrange flagship price phones and not actual flagships. Oneplus killed its enthusiasts.
Well no shit they come with a price. And I do agree it's funny that OP is facing a double-bind from their customers.
When people complain about palm rejection on curved screens, its because they didnt use it as their personal device, because when you have a case on, it is never a problem. Goes to show how this reviewers dont actually use the phone like a normal person.
True I don't have any problem with a case
MrMobile really spoiling us these days with this production value huh
2:02 I'm really glad that I'm able to watch a phone on a phone on a phone on my phone.
Galaxy s20 are on sale for this price. This brings it into crowded territory.
Its okay for US where S20 comes with Snapdragon. But for us in the exynos region, OP8Pro is much more appealing. You may lose out slightly on the camera but you get better perfomance overall.
I don't know why I was expecting "This is Jaime Rivera" at 0:19.
None of the reviewers mentioned the reverse wireless charging except you
Flossy Carter did
Delete the comment before you get rekt further...
Sadly even with 5G IP and WC
The casing design is a lot like 7T

The Verdict: Send the message to Oneplus by Not buying it unless you want the next Oneplus to be $1400

I miss the old days when you could get a flagship around 500$ **sigh**
Just get a xiaomi I love oneplus but I won't be switching my 7 pro until another all screen phone come along I hate the hole punch/ notch
@@MrWhis-fe5hs I own a xiaomi mi9T pro which has Snapdragon 865 and im happy with it. And that's the last xiaomi I'm gonna own, since now xiaomi's flagship mi 10 pro is a 4 digit phone in my country. Thanks but no thanks Xiaomi!😶 (Edit: and still it's not waterproof at that price!)
@@SaintVader 855* but I relate to what you have said. It is simply foolish to pay over $500 for what is essentially a daily use tool. Even though I don't use/like miui, I prefer Mi phones because of the great third party development which greatly impacts the longevity of the device. I use Mi 9T pro too
@@nabasarma7258 Yeah 855 sorry! Typo
People becoming more and more retarded. They want the high end specs but don't want to pay for it. Then OnePlus comes with the budget with the budget options with a balance of price and performance and still they keep cribbing.
6:32 That weird looking filter is actually xray vision. It generally works on black colors and can kind of see through some plastics or black clothes.
Hold up. With the phone off it went up to 56% after 30mins with 30 Watts? Thats wireless charging inefficiency for you...
I have to ask...why hasn't this channel scaled beyond 1 million subscribers? It deserves more subscribers.
I'll stick with my OnePlus 7 Pro. I don't care about wireless charging and I much prefer the fully uninterrupted screen on the 7 Pro over the camera cut out on the 8 Pro.
Same
@@No_timezone77 Also the 7 Pro has the same level of water resistance, it just doesn't have the certification. As they wanted to keep the price down.
My mum also has the 7 pro, still holding up well, no reason to upgrade
@@syedia Exactly. It does everything I need. all the usual stuff. Plus I take all my Instagram pictures using it. As well as shooting all my UA-cam videos.
FYI, it's kinda difficult to "stay mobile" during quarantine 😅😆
1. Price disappointed.
2. Camera also disappointed.
Yeah I'd say it should be a max of $750 with the upgrades this generation
Why is camera a disappointment lmao it's better than s20
@@Saurabh-hx1yp It's probably more in the sense that in that price category, it's up against both the iPhone 11 Pro and the Pixel 4, both of which have excellent cameras in the context of smartphones.
OnePlus historically hasn't been exactly stellar with cameras. In the past, people would be fine because they were saving money on them. Right now though, with this phone very nearly $1000 in price, it's inevitable that they're gonna compare it to nothing but the best and while this is the best OnePlus camera ever (I mean, that's obvious), they've still got some ways to go.
@@NeXMaX yeah i get that but it still beats the 1300 $ galaxy. What else do you want?! It is comparable to iPhone. Check the techchap comparison.
@@Saurabh-hx1yp I'm not really complaining though. I still use a 2.5 year old Galaxy Note8 as my daily, of which its camera performance is good but nothing outstanding anymore. I have the Fujifilm X-T3 along with an assortment of gear for when I'm going for a proper photoshoot.
Just at least explaining why people would kinda feel a bit salty about the camera. And to be fair to the S20 Ultra, they are being pretty ambitious about it......maybe too ambitious.
I'll be waiting for the OnePlus 8T Pro McLaren Edition (WITH 865+, 512GB STORAGE, 16GB RAM, 5000+ mAh BATTERY & NO CURVE / LESS CURVE DISPLAY)
Sounds good. Will it have the irritating punch hole? I like the idea of the front camera, which I never use, popping up, or just not being there (which would never happen). Thanks!
@@nnneptune3418 punch hole is most likely.
Your video's are so well written, that I enjoy them. They are the best tech videos to watch and enjoy.
That curved display makes this a hardcore no buy for me! Why should I buy something, that will annoy me every fucking day with accidental inputs and with that not getting THE basic function of any smartphone right?!
Nothing gets more hype than MrMobile PRO reviews
I've had my OnePlus 8 Pro since late May - Australian customer, I had to import it as they're still not selling them here officially. From personal experience, and from what I can tell reading various comments and threads, it seems after the few updates the device has gotten since it's release, this phone is now right up there in terms of all round features, camera quality, phone performance, etc with Apple and Samsung... honestly, I have used this thing heavily everyday for work and it's not let me down once.
This guy sounds like Robert Downey Jr.
Maybe he's the Ironman to come doing tech reviews like these
I think your speakers suck, he doesn't sound like RDJ at all lol
I am surprised you don’t have more subscribers MrMobile. This is a great channel.
Thanks! Feel free to share. :)
2:05. I see that Inception phone reference
Paul James give him the kick...
Did anyone notice how he pulled the two phones magically at 8:23??!
How? I'm still baffled I want an explanation
watched this already on Facebook, but will watch again here on UA-cam. Great video as always! 🔥
I bought LG V30+ for $215
Only issue is the laggy LG-UI (the bloatware too)
Also cameras are very disappointing at times
was that the magnets playing with each other at 8:23 ?? darnnnnnn those are some strong ones. sweet review Mr Fisher.
SirParson NiiAdjei I wondered the same
Why would there be magnets on the side of this device?
Its simply reversed footage. Just a really smart shot! Had to replay and look for it in the coomets! :D
The price of phones are just getting silly, I thought my old Samsung S9+ was expensive at the time but even though i'm due an upgrade I cant justify the expense of getting a new phone that does little more than my S9+.
Your better off just buying last year's flagships at a reduced price. Wait till next year the current options may start looking pretty good. I just got my 7t for $500.
S20 plus is $200 off. Is that the better choice?
in my opinion no, this oneplus has a better screen, better battery, better fingerprint scanner, more ram, and comes with a faster charger in the box
@@poopstinky869 Hope you will get a floor cleaner job in Oneplus factory very soon.
If you don't mind some of the downsides of Samsung like slower updates and a bloated UI, it is 100% a better deal, especially if you get more storage
If you don’t mind the exynos chipset as well
nope because samsung and their support. if youre from europe then big no no because exynos.
That lil neat magic trick you did @ 8:21 with the two phones 💯
How? Can you please explain?
Lmfao. "Pedestrian holepunch" xD
9:13
That Slate 'OnePlus' mark looks more elegant than Arial(?) 'ONEPLUS'
1+8 and 1+8 Pro owners would regret when the 1+8T stabs them all hard.
For reference; my Oneplus One costed around $300 in 2014. And now the Oneplus 8 is listed at $900 in 2020.
"When you've killed all the Flagships... you've *_become_* the Flagship."
Cut it out
I have to disagree a bit on design. Its boring for sure , but the camera design is miles better than on the cluttered slabs on Samsung devices.
One plus lost their way after one Plus 6.
They stop listening to their core fans and start milking their costumers.
They try to become apple 2.0 of Android world. Well I ain't supporting that .
Sent from OnePlus 3T.
The 3T is honestly OnePlus's last greatest flagship killer.
You are too stupid.
Everyone being asking for ip certification wireless charging better cameras since oneplus 3 you want all these for the old price? If only fans could stop bitching about everything and use their brains you want a flagship but with the price of a budget phone?
The 7t is better than the 3T in every conceivable way and I bought mine recently for $500 which is like half the price of the new galaxy or iphone. If you want to be a peasant go do it in private
@@amartinez97 so your mindset is that since its cheaper than an iphone or a samsung its good for the price?
Hows that being a peasant?people using their brains and avoiding overpriced stuff and gadgets has become peasentary now?sad sad life for you enthusiasts...500 dollars is still 500 dollars..
And theyre asking 900 for this 8 pro version..the 8t hasnt even been announced yet...whatll that bring?more money for more unneccessary stuff?
7:30 if it was made from copper then 👍.
Copper is the best metal to drink water from. It's healthy for body.
Isn't copper poisonous?
@@The76Malibu copper is healthy, lead is poisonous.
I'll die on this hill, if it had a headphone jack and expandable storage, it'd be sold out right now.
Idk, LGs have headphone jacks still (and the best quality DACs)... Yet almost nobody buys them. Everybody says it's such a huge problem, but the majority of their purchasing dollars say otherwise.
@@benjmiester I buy a phone every year. Currently using the Redmi K20 Pro. Will replace it around August. And I m sure as hell not gonna buy a phone that doesn't have headphone jack.
@@benjmiester To be fair LG has a hard time selling for two big reasons. 1. They UI is not close to stock android or are polished as say Samsung's (never thought I'd say that after hating touchwiz). 2. LG has a horrid reputation due to the bootloop issues the G2-G4 had, don't get me started on the awful LG G5, worthless device completely died on me in barely 17 months.
Moved from iphone x to op8pro. This is the first android phone in a long time that makes me excited. It has everything on flagship level without compromises. It has long software support, silence button, screen, double speakers, good camera. I hope that oneplus 9 will be even better and will keep me in the android world for a little bit longer.
They should've taken their time to figure out and perfect all screen display
This is an ugly step back - hole punch
I think they had to make that decision in order to achieve the ip68 rating...soo if that is true I am fine with the trade-off
They probably did that for the IP rating and the fact that Pop up cameras are not the future. Under display cameras are
@@orbit6663 hole in the screen the future too? That's going backwards lol, the only reason the do it is to get the ip68 and it's cheaper to put a hole in the screen than a pop up camera..I'll take pop up camera anyday
7:39 "The shelf has been replaced by the Google Feed" it's always been there tho
I love my OP6. I'll be moving onto a pixel though. Crazy right?!
I hated my Oneplus 6 because the battery life was shit, though for some users it may be alright, obviously if I want a good battery I can get the 6t, I guess most people would be fine wit the regular 6, but not me.
Which pixel, I'm interested.
That shot done in reverse tripped me up for a second 8:21.
8:22
What sorcery is this?
Edit- Okay I think he reversed the clip
The truth is many people who bought OnePlus phones in the beginning can't afford them anymore. Without whose support OnePlus wouldn't be where they are now. They should make a phone like Pixel 3a.
I still think LG would be one of the best choices if they just fixed their software.
And maybe update their phones in a more timely manner!
"Oh, are you sure you want to turn on MobileData/BatterySaver/Location/Airplane/Whatever mode?" Data charges may apply."

The intro edit was amazing! Good job to whoever did that!!!
a review already????
mr mobile is faster than oneplus 8's refresh rate
It helps that I've had the thing for two weeks. :)
@@TheMrMobile sup sir, hope you're doing well!
@@TheMrMobile That's a Marques Brownlee line. I call gimmick infringement 😂
@@TheMrMobile MKBHD: wait, that's illegal (not original but I had to say it)
Waited on purchasing an S10 Ultra in order to see what the OnePlus 8 Pro had to offer and I have to say im so glad I did.
Ultramarine Blue, 12 GB, 256. Ordered.
All the "flagship killer" BS was clearly a publicity stunt to brand up.
Well I mean they did offer a lot of brilliant phones at a very reasonable price for years, and if these folks want to try something different, let them be. Also there's the OnePlus 8 that's still cheaper than most of the flagships out there.
All those phones were flagship killers but year after year we demanded more of the phone and that comes with cost every buisness is in it for money thats just life.
H o L d U p Exactly! Wireless charging, IP certification, better lens come with prices, and that’s not up to OnePlus.
Ofcourse. And "made by community" was another stunt that actually succeeded. The community app and how it is run by OnePlus to engage and aquire young enthusiasts has been successful as well. All of those for one single reason - > to build a strong userbase to sell later at a pretty high price.
Jeez. You guys really can't take having a flagship phone having a flagship price. It's expensive now because it's a flagship. Not because they had some secret agenda to grow the company. Oneplus made good cheap phones back in the day. But for Oneplus to survive with the big dogs getting better, they had no choice. Don't buy it if your wallet says so.
The production quality of these reviews are so different and i love every second of it
I hope there are very less reviewers... Who don't get their videos approved by the brand before publishing it... 👌👌
Love your honesty, voice, way of speaking & videos...Big Fan... 😍😍
Anyone else want a OnePlus 8 Pro vs Galaxy S20+ comparison (not the Ultra)? They have nearly identical hardware, save for the cameras, at different pricepoints, so it'd be interesting to see if, to the rich customer with money to burn, the price difference is justified.
The sad thing is now that we need a brand new manufacturer to come out with great phones at fair prices to stop Samsung and Apple from asking $2,000 next year for a top phone.
Xiaomi probably, but they never release anything in the US :(
honestly this is a good year to skip upgrading the phones, hole punch displays, the current crisis ,and so on, gotta se what companies are up to next year other than price increase.
That charging animation syncing with the music is just 👌
I still don't know why people are surprised by this move. It isn't just OnePlus getting more expensive, it's everyone. And not to mention the fact that this phone is built with the expensive snapdragon 865 as well as an expensive 120hrz display that is best in class. They are still a massive budget compared to the competition (except the iPhone see, crazy deal). I get the company isn't as inexpensive as they use to be but their phones are more premium than they use to be.
"OnePlus 8 Pro Review: Becoming the Villain" Well it is as the saying goes: You either die a hero, or live long enough to become the villain...or in this case I guess its You die a flagship killer or live long enough to become a flagship??
I've had my OnePlus 7t for almost a year, still works perfectly
Looks cool..... but I love ❤️ my galaxy s20 ultra
Nice phone :)
It looks the same and does the same thing, both got hole in the screen
I really think this phone deserves a review re-do. I got it on launch day (minus shipping) and there's a lot here that got fixed...I'm talking "as I loaded it up had updates to fix various problems" fixed.
Another smartphone I´m not going to buy dor 1 reason: It is too expensive! I´m still fine with Xiaomi Pocophone F1.
Or the new K30 Pro. SD865, LPDDR5, UFS3.1 and a sweet no punchhole display. Flash Pixel Experience on that thing, and you're golden.
8:23 Wait! How did the OP8 got automatically pulled by OP8pro.
Some sort of magnet stuff?

When Michael put in the “people burning 5G towers” cheered me up cuz that’s the only funny thing rn
👎 Good bye One Plus.👎👅
STEFANOS ROMANOS ok what are you getting instead?!
Probably one of the very few honest reviewrs left. You, Mobiletech are the only honest reviewers left. Channels like MadMax (or what his name his), Rene Ritchie, Austin, even MKHD and verge, their reviews can't be trusted. Keep up the work mate.
I remember the intro tune, it was one of my favorites. Feels nostalgic and fits perfectly with this video. Thanks you Mr. Mobile!
Micheal, I have been watching you videos like 5 years or more... The maturation of you and your videos are just... epic. Generally when I watch your review, they are inspiring me that everyone should try to do their work at his/her best. You are one of the best color producer screen in my life, even with 3.5mm jack.
I can't justify spending almost $1,000 on a cellphone. When the difference is basically wireless charging, an ip rating, a slightly better camera and quicker screen from my 6t to the 8 pro, yet the price is around $350 more. To me those are all things I can live without if the phone only costs $580 compared to $900.
I'm a little upset it's 900, but it makes sense. The cameras are actually competitive now, the snap 865, the 120hz, 30w fast charge, wireless charge, 256gig storage, 12 gigs of the good ram, full dynamic screen with a ton of customization, one of the best ui, modern up to date Android version, huge battery, good haptics. This phone literally is a flagship because if they want to make money they need to expand past the enthusiast community, cause you can't make money there, your company will die. They made 3 phones, the 8 and 8pro, both made for the standard phone user who wants everything (price comes with that too) or you can go for the 8t, the flagship killer with amazing specs (mostly the same as the pro but better charging but worse ram type) at a lower price, but quality will drop(it's to be expected)
My last oneplus was a 6t. I feel like the 7t was their peak... it’s all downhill from here for all of us fans from the beginning. But now my sister knows what a oneplus is and she only knows iPhones... so they are getting their name out there better at least.
In oneplus8pro has display issue in low brightness it has black bar on the top and green tint in display can you tell about it.
Even 1+ can’t ignore that “Apple-Samsung” money forever! Everyone is talking about the new normal. Looks like we have achieved that with phone pricing.
i had a oneplus 3 upgraded to a pixel 2 and omg out of the three smartphones i've owned i tend to use them awhile and i had a Motorola razr in 2012 like a weirdy the oneplus 3 with oxygen os and the screen gesture control draw a circle on the screen it opens the camera draw a check mark you turn on the flash light is still my favorite smartphone i have owned
