OnePlus 8 Pro 5G product review

OnePlus 8 series is still divided into standard version and Pro version, the starting price of the standard version is 3999 yuan, the Pro version is 5399 yuan, there are not many storage capacities to choose from, only 8 128 and 12 256, the larger 512GB storage is not on the market for the time being.

In terms of appearance, the OnePlus 8 Pro has slight changes compared to the 7T Pro, but the style remains the same, the back still uses a central vertical triple camera, the telephoto camera is placed next to it, and the microphone and color temperature sensor are arranged under the telephoto. The process of the back cover has been greatly improved compared with the previous generation, mainly because the haze of the AG matte glass has been improved, and the look and feel are very close to the iPhone 11 Pro. It is advisable to give preference to green and blue, both of which are more unique and durable than black.

OnePlus's workmanship and materials have always been commendable, with the 8 Pro front and rear Corning sixth-generation Gorilla Glass and aluminum alloy middle frame. From the glass back cover to the aluminum alloy matte middle frame to the screen, it is a perfect fit. The IP68 waterproof certification, which was not done before, is not absent this time, and even because of the change from a pop-up front camera to a front punch, the sealing of the whole machine has also been improved.

In terms of feel, OnePlus 8 Pro is 7g lighter than 7T Pro, the weight of the whole machine is exactly 199g, and the thickness is only 8.5mm, which is also 0.3mm thinner than 7T Pro, which can be called thin and light in the flagship level in the first half of the year. Theoretically speaking,8 ProThe feel should be much better,But due to the thinning of the fuselage,The volume of the camera module is still the same,Resulting in a lot of protruding back cover of the camera module,When holding it, the index finger will intentionally or unintentionally touch the protruding camera,There is a feeling of awkwardness,The transition between the glass back cover and the middle frame is not very rounded,There is also a little drop。 If you wear a phone case, although the weight will increase, it can smooth out the gap between the camera module and the back cover, and the transition between the back cover and the middle frame is no longer a problem.

In other configurations, the 8 Pro does not have a 3.5mm headphone jack, has the largest X-axis linear motor in the Android camp, and the vibration feedback is very light and brittle, second only to the iPhone, and there are dual stereo speakers, although it is much better than a single speaker, but it is not particularly outstanding in the dual speaker model.

The screen is the main selling point of the OnePlus 8 Pro, this screen is slightly different from the one on the OPPO Find X2 Pro, 6.78 inches is slightly larger than the Find X2 Pro's 6.7 inches, and the resolution is 3168×1440, and the converted PPI is about 408. The curved surfaces on both sides are also different, the 8 Pro's curved surface is a little smaller, and the reflection is not as obvious as the Find X2 Pro, but OnePlus has not optimized the 8 Pro's anti-mistouch too well, so you can only pay more attention to the holding posture.

The comprehensive quality of the screen can be summarized as accurate color、Wide color gamut、Low refractive index、High refresh rate,After all, the panel is very close to Find X2 Pro,QHD resolution and120HzRefresh rate can be turned on at the same time,The factory also has a separate color correction,In addition to the vivid mode,The average Delta E in different modes is lower than 1,It is also very telling to be able to get DisplayMateA-rating,It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the top screen in the Android camp。

This screen also has MEMC frame insertion function,But this function is the same as Find X2 Pro,It's a more avant-garde function,Deal with some actions are not complicated,Film and television works with slightly slower camera movement will indeed be much smoother,But in the face of some complex scenes、Works with unpredictable light and shadow and action,It's more difficult,There are often cases where the frame rate suddenly drops from 60 to 24、30 or there are ghosts,And you can't ask too much for it。

In terms of performance, there is not much worth saying, OnePlus 8 Pro is equipped with Snapdragon 865, LPDDR5 memory, UFS 3.0 flash memory, which is basically the top configuration of the Android camp. It is said that it is top-notch, because UFS 3.0 Write Turbo HPB compared with UFS 3.1 will have a gap of tens of MB/s in random reading and writing, although this gap is not strong in use, but the existence of the gap cannot be denied.

Taking photos has always been OnePlus's shortcoming, but the 8 Pro has made significant progress in both hardware and software. The main camera is IMX689, the ultra-wide angle is last year's flagship IMX586, the specifications of these two lenses are the same as Find X2 Pro, both are 48 million pixels, the difference between the two mainly appears at the telephoto end, OnePlus 8 Pro is the same as Find X2 standard versionS5K3M5, 13 million pixels cropped to 8 million pixels to achieve triple light change, Find X2 Pro is a periscope telephoto, five times light change.

Hardware is one thing,Actual imaging is another,Although the specifications of the main camera and wide angle are the same,But 8 ProAnd Find X2 ProThe imaging is still a little different,The main thing is that OnePlus8 Pro's night scene HDR algorithm optimization is not good enough,The ability to suppress highlights and protect dark parts is slightly poor,Another problem is that OnePlus8 ProWhite balance will float in some scenes,Color reproduction is not accurate,Some other details are not imported into the computer to compare one by one,Style and Find X2 The Pro is relatively similar, both in a slightly brightly colored but not kitsch style.

In terms of system,8 ProHydrogen OSThe general style has not changed,It's simple and brisk,It can even be said to be relatively simple,Many other Android manufacturers have long used the function,OnePlus also slowly added some and didn't add some,Although it can be used slowly,But it's always a little dissatisfied from other brands,And there are many functions OnePlus says it's doing,But there is often no follow-up news。 Hydrogen OS, which has always been known for its purity, has also added some advertising, and the overall system experience is a slight regression.

In terms of battery life, OnePlus 8 Pro is stuffed with a 4510mAh battery, which is already a relatively large battery in its class, but if you keep on 2K resolution and 120Hz refresh rate, the battery life is actually not ideal, better than Find X2 Pro and P40 Pro, but not as good as iPhone 11 Pro Max and Samsung S20 Ultra, iPhone 11 Pro Max is a 60Hz screen, S20 The Ultra is better than the large 5000mAh battery.

In terms of charging, both wired and wireless charging are 30W, and the time to complete a full charge is relatively close, both around 70 minutes. 30W wired charging is relatively slow compared to Find X2 Pro, and there is no improvement compared to 7T Pro, but the 30W wireless fast charging experience is very good, at least it can make full use of fragmented time for replenishment, mainly in the office, it will have a better effect, if it is wireless charging at night when you sleep, you don't need such a high power to be fully charged overnight. The main problem with the wireless charging of the 8 Pro is that the cable charging is integrated, and it can't penetrate the wire hole on the desk, which is not enough for Xiaomi's 30W wireless charging.
