4.4/5

OnePlus 8 is the base model flagship device of the newly introduced OnePlus 8 series of flagship devices, and it features a radical shift from the previous generation, not in terms of the overall design, but rather the build quality and finish that is associated with these products. The new body features glass panels on either side, with the rear also getting a more refined camera module that sticks out from the back a little bit. You also get a whole new camera array with larger sensors and better AI algorithms to assist them. The real highlight of the package is the new display, which wraps around the edges and gives you a near-bezel-less look.

Bottom Line

OnePlus 8 is a solid successor to the flagship 7 series, which brings new upgrades to the design, cameras, processors, and display. However, you do have to deal with a relatively small battery, which supports at least 30W fast charging.
