I need dual sim....
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Real Life Review] kalinlondon:
Well, I got Oneplus 8 pro finally.

Only two days, but so far so good - I like the speed and haven't seen any significant problems.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Real Life Review] semsem1969:
Hello everyone,

So this is my second day with my one plus 8 pro, had my eye on this company since their first release one plus one, but for me, it was all about the quality and the build, i just switched from my Huawei p20 pro ( i was close to getting the 40 pro but because of google problem I changed my mind and also for their slow updates and the bootloader lock ) so what I like about one plus 8 pro , Display, sound, fingerprint, scanner accuracy, wifi speed, customization, and fast operation, it is really a fast phone

I miss lots of things about my p20 pro

Build quality, camera, notification light, solid phone network connection, the weather app, the split-screen, the hidden app function.

I am still using it and hope one day i fall in love with one plus 8 pro as I did with Huawei.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Real Life Review] themadman1001:
There's a hidden app function in the oneplus 8 pro (just place two fingers on a blank area of the screen and stretch out). Plenty of weather apps on the Play Store although, if you're particular about what weather app to use (there are good and bad ones) you could try TodayWeather which I've recently installed and has more or less replaced my old app (DarkSky) for functionality and presentation.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Real Life Review] semsem1969:
Thank you, the apps were the easy part, now I am having an issue with poor wifi reception, overheating and sluggish performance something with the memory, the gallery will not open smoothly

Reset the phone or clear cache didn't fix it

I am honestly thinking it was a big mistake buying this phone..

hope they can fix their issues soon
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Real Life Review] kdkinc:
Best device ever.

end of story.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Real Life Review] xnostra:
hows your experience on the phone.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Real Life Review] semsem1969:
To be honest, If they fix all the issues like overheating, power drain, wifi, and data connection it will be a great phone.

I love the display, speed, sound and the camera ( it takes good pictures)

I am waiting for software updates and hope they will be fixed soon if not, it will be for sale on eBay.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Real Life Review] arsenal74:
Honestly other than the better camera and wireless charging I prefer the OP7 Pro/7t Pro.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Real Life Review] cultofluna:
Why?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Real Life Review] arsenal74:
1 - The slightly wider aspect ratio. (Think we need to move away from the diagonal to categorise screen size but that is a whole other conversation)

2 - No cut out

3 - No screen burn-in issues

4 - No green tint/black crush issues

5 - GCAM really improves the 7 pro camera and does not seem to do the same for 8 pro, therefore a 7 pro with gcam is pretty close at least on the main lens

6 - Prefer the blue to the green :)

Yes the 8 Pro is better overall for sure but right now the 7 pro is almost half the price so when you factor in cost too I think I prefer the 7 pro. To qualify, I have owned an 8 pro and then re-purchased a 7 pro.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Real Life Review] Rose02218:
Hey. I agree this is a cool gadget. she used it for a long time and was very pleased
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Real Life Review] Vecera:
I was owner almost every single brand of flagship phones.

I purchased OnePlus 8 Pro because I really don't want exynos SOC on Samsung

Cons:

- No LED notification light, even if there is LED light around punch hole camera

- edges are too curved (I am fan of curved edge display, but this is "too much" curved, on Samsung I didn't have much of "curved display" accidental taps, and here I do have).

- you can't put apps to the folder on "all application menu" (app drawer)

- display issue during the night (color shift, green tint, black bar form punch hole), after I did switch to light theme impact is minimal but still I had to make compromise (not to use dark theme)

- fingerprint reader is not what I am expecting form flagship device (I am coming form S9+ and physical FRP on Samsung S9+ phone was way better! not to mention that before sleep brightness level of FPR is very high and annoying) , I am using face unlock because I can't find optical FPR comparative for a flagship device

- phone have the ugliest flagship status bar icons in history. (luckily OnePlus is aware of that so they provided option to hide icons instead of redesigning them)

- when I am casting music form google play music, on Samsung form notification bar I could use an option "stop casting" on OnePlus I can't, I need to open application and than stop casting

- notification icon showing dot instead of number of received notifications for that app (this is sad)

- Dialer application needs improvements, Gallery also can be improved

- adaptive brightness needs to be improved (compare to Samsung auto brightness OnePlus's one is very bad).

Pros:

- 120hz display that is great but only during the day

- Snapdragon 865 SOC, 12GB RAM, 256GB Storage

- Decent camera

- Decent battery life and fast charging
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Real Life Review] BabeShaq:
Coming from 7 PRO, i see 8 PRO being a very poor buy from my perspective. If i had a chance, i would never make the purchase again. The issue? Price for the most case. Otherwise:

- I don't get why people were so crazy about the display of this phone. 7 PRO was as good, only that it was a little less bright, but miles better on low brightness. Also, when i'll have to resell the phone, low brightness issues will be so "sweet" in the second hand market... I can imagine all the buyers asking to go to some dark places to review the phone.

- I don't like the form factor of this phone. My hands are big and i find 7 PRO being way more comfortable than its predecessor. It's also worse for watching videos, as it cuts off more footage due to the narrower design

- Fingerprint sensor is making me mad. In comparison to 7 PRO it's slower and less stable

- The key factor when i buy a phone is the smoothness. 8 PRO is smooth, but so is 7. Only Youtube and Instagram feels considerably smoother on 8th

- Battery life for me was the same on both phones

- I don't do swimming with my phone, so paying for official IP68 rating feels like i'm buying air

- I see no reason of having 5G at the moment, especially if that adds up to the price

- The phone runs much warmer than 7 PRO did. Hopefully it won't kill my battery as the time goes

- 2 months in and my bottom speaker has started crackling, even though i never go higher than 65%. Speakers on 7 PRO seems to be invincible

- Bluetooth works worse on the 8th. Connects slower, gets more interruptions. I'm having issues that i never faced on the 7th.

- I liked buttons and volume slider on 7 PRO better

- Hole punch doesn't bother me that much, but if i had to choose, 7 PRO's design is an obvious choice for me

+ I'm not crazy about cameras, but i trust 8th's camera much more

Been sitting for 15min, trying to find another pro i could mention, but i think it's not gonna happen. Maybe i can only add that if i didn't go directly from 7 PRO, i would be pretty stoked about this device. But now... I sold my old phone to my friend and when he asks me to type something in to his phone, i just feel so stupid with my 'flagman' in the pocket.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Real Life Review] Samuel Holland:
Me personally so far I have been absolutely loving the 8 Pro so far. Coming from the pixel XL 2 & 3, which were equally loved, but honestly, it seemed harder and harder for devs to be able to customize, and is why when the seven came out, I was like, wow, and honestly I was debating on which to get, but thankfully has been really nice so far. I'm hoping for the best, & so far, that has seemed to be the case. Thx

new op8pro IN2003 12GB version 10.5.12,10.5.13 and 11

(+) extremelly fast

(+) wireless charging and 30W, the idea of night slow charge is excellent

(+) haptic feedback is massive, really good

(+) display is finally readable at night and good under sun

(+) fingerprint and face unlock are even faster than before

(-) heavy and painful when setting up

(-) buggy, glitches here and there..e.g. when charging starts animation is shown below current notifications and abruptly disappears fast, or home is reset to oneplus launcher no matter what

(-) huge backbleeding in dark mode, the notificiation shade up and down will reveal massive cloud transition

(-) classic oneplus memory management: just kill everything and never utilize huge RAM

(-) screen foil peels off fast, doesn't cover edges, scratches your finger as it kills edge gestures

(-) letters Q and P cannot be held (again), so you can't type number 1 and 0

(-) charging only via proprietary chargers mean realistically charge will be super slow as you roam

(-) 3d party malware preinstalled in private-app, therefore aquiring nonresettable identifiers despite Android10+ policies

Notes: rooting wasn't easy this time. Restoring backups was a big issue as TitaniumBackup and OnePlus Switch don't work even via indirect APK method (hmm). No XPosed on Android 11. Too many software problems. Battery drains fast so far, I close my eyes. Overall i have this meh feeling and not worth of money after 7T or notchless 7[T] Pro. Luckily i'm addicted to Qi and AOD, 2 best features in a decade, so I didn't return it (yet).
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Real Life Review] Limeybastard:
Is it perfect? No, is it better than what's available at the moment for me ? Yes. Much better than my note 20 ultra. Just viewing pages via Samsung browser looks better sharper on this than the Note 20 Ultra.

(-) heavy and painful when setting up

Really? I set mine up very very quickly.

(-) buggy, glitches here and there..e.g. when charging starts animation is shown below current notifications and abruptly disappears fast, or home is reset to oneplus launcher no matter what

I can't say I've seen any bugs, although I didn't install the betas, will have a look.

(-) huge backbleeding in dark mode, the notificiation shade up and down will reveal massive cloud transition

I don't have this, most people don't.

(-) classic oneplus memory management: just kill everything and never utilize huge RAM

Disable zram, I don't think mine kills anything, although i am using xXx, you can determine what you keep in memory, if I'm not mistaken there's also a section for this in developer options.

(-) screen foil peels off fast, doesn't cover edges, scratches your finger as it kills edge gestures

I'll be honest I removed my screen protector and haven't put one back on, not a single scratch to be seen, did this with my p20 pro too and that thing got abused.

I'll agree that is a pants screen protector, although it is free so better than a poke in the eye.

(-) letters Q and P cannot be held (again), so you can't type number 1 and 0

That's not true dude :D ah that's quite funny.

(-) charging only via proprietary chargers mean realistically charge will be super slow as you roam

Apple MacBook charger - full in 1 hour 10 I think

P20 pro charger 1 hour 30 i think

(-) 3d party malware preinstalled in private-app, therefore aquiring nonresettable identifiers despite Android10+ policies

xXx or debloat it, every malware though? I'm interested.

So you can totally love your phone now :D besides the black thing and your massive thumbs..

;)

PS: not having a go pal. :good:

Oh and I get 9-10 hours SOT consistently.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Real Life Review] Limeybastard:
As a curved screen hater I've actually completely forgotten it exists now. Unlike the 7 pro which was extremely offensive ?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Real Life Review] dlads:
I'm the same pal, I kept hitting the screen by accident.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Real Life Review] doggydog2:
This was the slowest oneplus setup so far, also shouldn't have followed the guides and make mine, as this time it wasn't great. But better than other brands. Phone is so heavy i prefer to not use it (haha, true). I used the girly finger holder before and it helped a LOT to be comfy with giants, but this time i need wireless charging :)

You don't think oneplus kills apps? You better recognize... oneplus is a legend in killing apps, and they score good battery results just because of that. It is so famous, that apps have specific warning sections for this vendor. It's nothing new to me, i can fix it, it just needs to be noted every time.

Again on each oneplus, as they keep coming to me, i can't reliably press and hold "q" and "p" letters to get the number "1" and "0". I can replicate it with high confidence, edged screen or not, and it delays the keyboard entry in few cases. Also the edge swipe gesture doesn't always trigger. I don't have massive thumbs, that's a wrong assumption.

Charging is still with 8W as i don't have Warps anywhere, i didn't even unpack Warp charger, i've only got QuickCharge and Power Delivery chargers littered everywhere you can imagine. Power Delivery now works but also slow (theoretically 15W max). So since Warps are nowhere to be found around the world, I hope PD will improve like it's the case with 8T model.

Until I have Xposed i bit worry about device ID leaks, as OnePlus gets aggressive this time and slap Facebook **** ("malware") into priv-app. Such apps will override all new Android 10+ rules. Of course I debloat and use xXx, that's what i've been doing to devices (see signature). I also use App Opps until Xposed comes to Android 11. I worry about this trend, it's still good compared to other brands, but we can expect more bloat next year.

Battery is great, good for 2 days.

Anyways, i don't have big problem with much of above - just stating the findings. It sounds critical because of the way i write. I'm also fine with edge screen, looks cooler, AOD looks great, and i don't press screen by accident. I dislike mostly the rubbish weight. And i will never see the cool xray camera I guess:) If the rumour about Xperia 1.2 getting 120Hz was true, i'd wait for it as it gets rid of the punchhoe and adds SD card. Now there's nothing much to innovate, what can OnePlus come up with next year? Well, the camera under screen! It was first with fingerprint under display, let's repeat this success.

OnePlus 9:

- PD 30W

- popup camera (oh boy, i wish they made 8T Pro with popup camera this year)

- 160 grams

- wireless charging 30W

- DXOMark 130

OnePlus 9 Pro:

- PD 65W

- camera under display

- 175 grams

- wireless charging 65W

- notification light on the bottom

- SD card up to 300MB/s

- DXOMark 140
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Real Life Review] dlads:
Please explain how signing into an android phone is slow? It takes at most a couple of minutes?

How is this phone heavy? I'm a man with man hands, if you have a problem picking up a phone then theres a problem pal.

Do I think OnePlus kills apps? Again no I don't, I can go back to apps, I've turned off ram boost as I don't need the system to monitor my usage.

You didn't unpack the warp charger and your wondering why you don't get warp charging? :D LOL I have nothing to answer this with, but are you serious??

Uninstall apps you don't like, debloat!!!

I'd have liked a pop up camera too tbh but having energy ring around the punch out does indeed look cool.

I think OnePlus will do enough to make you want to buy the 9 as they will with the 9T, just like they have with all other phones.

PS: I don't want a back and forth, but if you're nitpicking like this then it's safe to say that this phone is extremely good ;) nothing mentioned holds merit and everything else can be combatted.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Real Life Review] dlads:
That's an apple charger

1 hour 27 charging rapidly
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Real Life Review] Zinux:
The phone is behaving like it should and even more, it's really good.

It's fast, smooth as butter and offers an excellent battery life, the only thing I didn't like is some weird black **** when opening apps running dark mode such as YouTube, on lowest brightness of course, but no big deal, it can be fixed using AMOLED wide gamut (screen calibration) and everything will be fine, but I'm not using it because it hurts my eyes sometimes. How's y'all experience?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Real Life Review] doggydog2:
oh i mean rooting was slow. That's my setup.

Phone is super heavy, from dozens phones I had the good spot is 160g, and somewhere at 180g discomfort comes. I stabilize phone using the smallest finger as this is the most efficient way for one hand control (if it's something new to you, check some youtube videos). Again I don't have a problem, you're not the only phone user in the world.

Yeah I won't use Warp, as i roam a lot, and there's no Warp anywhere (car, office, desk, bed, family, travel locations, trains, restaurants). I prefer widely available standard most brands respect. #StopWarp People are interested in Power Delivery capability of OnePlus exactly for this reason.

Nah, this phone is not extremely good but it's good enough and considering the price it's just good. You're too much of a fan, i will forget this phone after i switch it next quarter. Let's see what's next in Q1/2021:)
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Real Life Review] Zinux:
Not bad, eh? :p
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Real Life Review] doctor78SI:
Hardware wise I love the phone. Software wise I am deeply dissapointed. The OS is not finished, has lots of bugs, minor and major ones. The lack of updates is shocking to me since Oneplus is renown for its software. Personaly prefer Samsung over this.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Real Life Review] dlads:
Haha ok mate, each to their own..

I think root was a pain due to the double slot process, but its as fast as any other once you know what you're doing.

Plus in regards to charging. I'm still not convinced that rapid or warp charging is actually good for lithium batteries, I think a steady normal charge is probably healthier.

As for the phone, the 8T is identical and the 9 is going to be very very similar..

Think about it, what phone out there right now is better?

Please don't say the ultra, because that would be a lie.

The Sony is well it's a Sony, it'll have DRM that you can brick your phone with if you don't know what you're doing, plus it's boring with awful XDA development..

I don't think you can beat the 1+8pro at the moment
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Real Life Review] Limeybastard:
Made me laugh also. About the phone being heavy and slow to start up ?

I'd subscribe to his YouTube channel for sure.

Disillusiined

Just bought phone. It came with Oxygen 11 and I have not been able to root it. The only thing I need root for is to run Titanium backup to restore app's data. I have several quiz and learning apps I use to keep my retired mind alert, and I cannot restore my progress. I'm sure in time someone will get TWRP working on Android 11. Mr. Mauronofrio?

Otherwise this is a fine phone once I resolved some sound issues I had originally. The only remaining issue is the occasional screen non-response to app buttons and links. I understand O11 is brand new and bound to have minor glitches.

I AM NOT DISILLUSIINED. I wrote that when I was before I got the phone working right!

I came from s10+ exynos. And I wouldn't consider thar phone slow in any circumstances, but when I used OP8 pro for a day and came back to s10+, it felt like a few generations behind.

Can't really put my finger on it, but I would say that there was delay on all touch actions, that somehow my brain got used to, until I used OP 8 Pro and that delay was gone. Going back to s10+ I started noticing those delays and it simply felt unnatural.

I followed the kernel dev to 9 pro but never got rid of 8 pro.

I had a dac that I tried on 9 pro but wouldn't power on so I tried on 8 pro and Bingo!

I just wanted to say, 8 pro feels more solid in hand and sure is looking good. The network speed seems to be night and day compared to nine pro. I just might have to move back to 8 pro.

I too looking for the operator cab for my currently location Hong Kong, Operator One2Free. Would appreciate it to get some help, coz I already went to the Operator dealer shop to copy all the wap/MMS/internet setting with all the proxys, but can't get it to work completely.

With all the settings done, I can retrieve email & surf the internet with my data plan, but can't access the wap site of my operator. Strange...:confused:
