OnePlus 8 Pro Launched: 120Hz display, IP68, Wireless Charging and more
This is a true flagship smartphone from OnePlus because the OnePlus 8 Pro starts from 799 US dollars which are around 68,359 Indian rupees. The price is high but what OnePlus is offering with OnePlus 8 Pro is also high.
The OnePlus has covered everything in OnePlus 8 Pro, from IP68 rating to wireless charging support, it has everything and I think its worth at what OnePlus is offering. Yet, the phone doesn’t have a full-view display, so this can be a problem for some people.
Update 20th April 2020 OnePlus officially announced the India price for the OnePlus 8 series. The OnePlus 8 Pro is priced at Rs 54,999 for 8GB of Ram and 128GB Storage while OnePlus 8 is priced at Rs 44,999 for the same 8GB of Ram and 128GB of Storage.
OnePlus 8 Pro Specifications
The OnePlus 8 Pro comes with a 6.78 inches QHD+ display with a resolution of 3168 x 1440 pixels 513ppi and yes, this too doesn’t have the full-view display and reason for that is, IP68 rating. To get IP68 rating OnePlus must have removed the moving part from the phone, so they choose punch-hole over pop-up selfie camera for an IP68 rating.
Here things get bigger. The OnePlus 8 Pro comes with a 120Hz refresh rate with a 240Hz touch sampling rate which huge. Overall, OnePlus 8 Pro has the best display quality at this price range.
Cameras
We have Quad camera setup but not 64MP or 108 MP camera setup instant of that OnePlus went with 48MP camera setup. The phone comes with 48MP Sony IMX689 with f/1.78 aperture, again 48MP ultra-wide lens, 8MP telephoto lens, and 5MP Color Filter Lens which will come in handy for Instagram lovers.
The Quad camera setup can shoot videos up to [email protected] and have Super Slow Motion 1080p video at 240 fps, 720p video at 480 fps, and Time-Lapse up to 1080P 30fps, 4k 30fps.
That Quad camera has features like CINE aspect ratio video recording, Video HDR, Cat&Dog face detect & focus, UltraShot HDR, Nightscape, Super Micro, Portrait, Pro Mode, Panorama, AI Scene Detection, RAW Image, Audio Zoom, Audio 3D
One the front side, it has a 16-megapixel Sony IMX471 selfie shooter with f/2.45 aperture and this can shoot videos up to [email protected]
Performance
OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro comes with the same processor, so you will get the same performance.
It has all-new and powerful Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 865 Soc which is the best chipset available for the Android platform. The phone is also 5G ready that said, OnePlus has used Snapdragon X55 modem to give you 5G. Fun fact, 5G is not available in India and I don’t think we will see 5G till 2022 and yes we have 5G support in every single flagship phone.
The OnePlus 8 is running on OxygenOS on top of Android 10 which is the best custom UI you can get in the Android platform.
Battery
The phone has a 4510 mAh (non-removable) battery with Warp Charge 30T Fast Wired Charging and 30W Wireless Charging support.
** The phone can’t be charged at 30W in every wireless charger, to charge at 30W, you need to buy OnePlus’s wireless charger which costs around 70 dollars. You can not charge OnePlus 8 Pro at 30W with your wireless charger, it doesn’t matter whether your charger support up to 40W wireless charger or more, can not be used on OnePlus 8 Pro.
Other Features
The OnePlus 8 comes with Bluetooth 5.1 certification, WiFi, HDR 10/10+ support, optical in-display fingerprint sensor, also has the NFC support.
