DESIGN

Oneplus 8 comes with a slim and sleek curved design as it is built with remarkable precision that is designed to impress. It has a brilliant contoured design that feels great in the hand and measures 160.2×72.9×8.0mm and weighs 180 grams. The size is millimetres less than the larger OnePlus 8 Pro and even lesser in terms of weight. The phone comes with a more refined and simpler look than the predecessor and comes with enough improvements.

OnePlus 8 has a mirror-like finish that changes hues as per the angle you look at. It also comes in fancy colours: Onyx Black, Glacial green, and Interstellar Glow. Beyond the fancy colour, the OnePlus 8 also comes with curved glass that wraps around the front and rear surfaces. It is only separated by a thin silver of aluminium which supports the chassis. The metal and glass further intermarry well and create an almost imperceptible bond.

The rear part hosts the camera array in a vertical line of lenses. There are three cameras with the flash being set below the raised camera module. The display comes with a hole-punch cutout at the upper left corner and gives the phone a fresh look. Placed on the left side is the volume rocker while the right side has the lock button. The silence slider is located above the lock button on the right side and has a more tactile feel while switching. The Glacial Green shade comes with a refined matte AG finish. On the other hand, the smooth matte surface minimizes fingerprints and reduces glare, making it feel good.

DISPLAY

OnePlus 8 comes with Poetry in motion as it packs a 6.55-inch AMOLED display which is slightly smaller than the 6.67 inches in the OnePlus 7t Pro. The display comes with sloping sides, a wide colour gamut, and a hole punch cutout in the upper left corner. The phone comes with a 3D Corning Gorilla glass in addition to the pre-applied screen protector.The 6.55” Fluid display can flow seamlessly from one frame to another. The screen resolution stands at 90Hz and is similar to that of the OnePlus 7T. This allows you to swipe, scroll and navigate with ease. Users can however drop down to 60Hz if they want to save battery power. HDR content looks good on the OnePlus 8. While playing compatible shows through Netflix, brightness and colour saturation will get a boost. You might check out OnePlus 8Pro if you want a phone with a 120Hz resolution rate.

CAMERA

Unlike One plus 8 Pro, this phone’s camera comes with a newer main sensor and telephoto. This device packs a trio camera of 48MP+16MP+2MP The main camera is the 48MP Sony IMX586 that can down to 12MP. The 16MP ultra wide-angle camera is more useful and has a 116-degree field of view that is ideal for outdoor shoots and better for indoors. Rather than a telephoto camera, the OnePlus goes with a 2MP macro camera for close-up photography. The close-ups are good and have plenty of details and saturated colours.

Overall, low light photos appear to be decent and the app automatically brightens images while shooting with the main camera This cuts down on the need of switching to Nightscape mode. Pet lovers have been given an added treat with the Smart Pet capture that frames your favourite moments. Software algorithms will be able to automatically detect pets as they are in a frame and adjust the settings. This will then reduce motion blur and allow you to capture your pets at their cutest.

A 16MP selfie camera dons the front part and comes with portrait mode to take high-quality selfies whenever and wherever. The front camera is also a respectable shooter and handles regular and portrait selfies well. Color exposure and focus are also satisfactory.
