The OnePlus 8 is one of the first 5G phones you don't have to pay a scary amount for. It is one of the most affordable 5G phones around.

OnePlus 8 review

The OnePlus 8 set a new high point for 2020: triple-rear cameras, impressive specs, and 5G connectivity.

Affordable 5G connectivity Impressive specs Big 4,300mAh battery

No telephoto camera No wireless charging Price hike over predecessor

The OnePlus 8 sets the bar high for mid-priced flagships in 2020. While its design refinements borrow elements from other flagships, it's an undeniably sleek phone, with waterfall display edges and a punch-hole for the front-facing camera. With a...

OnePlus 8 review: Mean green flagship machine

The initial entry-level to OnePlus' 2020 line-up, the OP8, as we're calling it, beefs up its feature set - but costs a little more than typical too.

Gorgeous finish - and not a fingerprint magent for once ; Strong battery life easily lasts a day ; Smooth software with useful gaming mode too ; Top-drawer processor means oodles of power

Cameras aren't leading ; Excessive contrast at low brightness ; 90Hz of questionable benefit ; No wireless charging ; Would like a non-5G version to cut price down

Sure, it's pricier than its predecessors, but this handset continues to deliver a flagship experience that costs hundreds less than an equivalent from most others. That's OnePlus' big selling point, delivered time and again. If you want more from the...

OnePlus 8 review: Fits into a budget without sacrificing hardware

As the cheaper OnePlus phone, the OnePlus 8 doesn't have as many features. But it succeeds at keeping the ones that matter.

Relatively more affordable high-end phone

No wireless charging

OnePlus 8 review

£50 extra for 5G is a no brainer

Excellent power and performance ; 5G (and no massive price hike) ; 2020 curves

Camera not as versatile as last time around

OnePlus gets over the 5G upgrade hump in style. The camera’s no better, it’s worse in one way, but we get a style upgrade and an only slight jump in cost.

OnePlus 8 review: Faultless flagship killer drops in price

Minor changes, spiralling prices and an increasingly crowded market – the OnePlus 8 has a difficult road ahead

Colour accurate 90Hz screen ; Second-best battery life we’ve tested ; 5G for less

Lacks new standout features ; No IP68 rating

I’ll be the first to admit that I prematurely dismissed the OnePlus 8 in my briefing call. Rather than adding new features, OnePlus would alternately increase the cost by £50 and launch a near-carbon copy of last year’s model. Alarm bells immediately...

OnePlus One vs OnePlus 2: What's the difference between OPO & OP2?

Earlier this week OnePlus unveiled its OnePlus 2. We look at what's new in the OP2 in our OnePlus One vs OnePlus 2 comparison

Given the massively improved specification of the OnePlus 2 over the OnePlus One, and the new features such as the fingerprint scanner, USB Type-C support and better camera, there's very little reason why you would want to choose the OPO over the OP2....

OnePlus 8 review

While the OnePlus 8 Pro sets a bold new flagship course, the OnePlus 8 continues the brand's combination of mid-market pricing and high-end performance. The result is a truly excellent 5G phone that doesn't quite stand out as much as its predecessors.

Excellent 90Hz screen ; Great performance ; Appealing design

Not as cheap as OnePlus phones used to be ; Average camera

The OnePlus 8 might not have the sheer box-ticking appeal of the OnePlus 8 Pro, but it still looks and feels every inch the flagship phone. A so-so camera and one or two missing features disappoint, and there’s been little advancement from the...
