Expert Reviews | Jonathan Bray

If you can't stretch your bank balance to an iPhone 11 Pro, a Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus or S20 Ultra, the OnePlus 8 Pro makes a very good value alternative.

The Guardian | Samuel Gibbs

It's no longer cheap, but the OnePlus 8 Pro is simply better than practically everything else. Samsung should be worried because we have a new Android king.

T3 | Robert Jones

The OnePlus 8 Pro is the best and most well-rounded phone the Chinese maker has ever produced, partnering simply mind-blowing speed and performance with the best display ever shipped on a smartphone and a suite of flagship features which, in part, had been missing from previous devices.

I would say, if you have the budget, skip the 8 and go for the 8 Pro.

If you are looking at the OnePlus 8 Pro, you are interested in at least one of two things - a big screen or a good camera going alongside a flagship performance.

OnePlus has delivered an excellent flagship phone in the OnePlus 8 Pro, albeit at more of a flagship price than some of its previous efforts. If is beyond your budget, stand by for our upcoming review of the smaller and more affordable OnePlus 8.

Trusted Reviews | Max Parker

I wish it was smaller; ditched the curved screen and was a little more comfortable to hold. But this still remains a great, big Android phone.

The OnePlus 8 Pro is a proper flagship phone. No more cutting corners. No more 'flagship killer' underdog mantra. OnePlus is now officially mixing it with the biggest names in mobile.

SlashGear | Chris Burns

If OnePlus continues to create devices as high-end and high-quality as the OnePlus 8 Pro, they'll be worth the prices that would've shocked OnePlus customers a mere half-decade ago. Here in 2020, the OnePlus 8 Pro is the Android flagship to beat.

Pocket-lint | Cam Bunton

Undoubtedly the company's most complete smartphone to date. It has a big, brilliant display, long-lasting and fast-charging battery, plus software that's fluid and lightweight. All in a phone that's fast, and actually has a good main camera on the back.

Android Central | Daniel Bader

The OnePlus 8 Pro is an impressive and well-designed Android smartphone that doesn't upend the traditional OnePlus formula so much as extend it to its logical place in the 2020 canon - more features, higher price.

Forget the gimmicks: I want a phone that handles the fundamentals well, and with its excellent performance, well-thought-out software and one of the best smartphone screens I've ever seen, the OnePlus 8 Pro fits that bill nicely.

CNET | Lynn La

OnePlus 8 Pro is an excellent phone. Its camera works great, it has a fast and powerful processor and I welcome its newer features, which include wireless charging and reverse wireless charging. But if you're a bit more cost-conscious and you want a premium Android experience, I'd choose the OnePlus 8.

If you're in the market for a Plus-sized Android phone, I think the choice between the Galaxy S20 Plus and the OnePlus 8 Pro is going to come down personal preference - if not a coin toss.

Recombu | Adam Speight

OnePlus 8 Pro is the best phone the company has ever made, knocking many competitors for six in the horsepower department and producing an industry-leading display. The design that may not be ideal for all and the camera is just decent but, if you are looking for the best of the best in the Android space, OnePlus 8 Pro is definitely in the running.

In my opinion, the OnePlus 8 Pro is in contention for best Android right now, but it's so close I can't quite give it the title definitively.

These are OnePlus' best phones yet, and they're both still a good value. But if you're looking for the old OnePlus-a phone that leaves you scratching your head as to how the price is so low-you'll have to move on.

Gizmodo UK | Tom Pritchard

There's nothing that makes the OnePlus 8 Pro stand out, and while it's generally a good enough phone, being "good enough" just doesn't really cut it for me. Certainly not when there are other "good enough" phones that cost less and function just as well by excusing all the fluff.

The OnePlus 8 Pro's best features are the ones that really matter: The screen is stunning, the battery life is amazing, and the software is refined and attractive. The camera works well, and the design is great, plus it has wireless charging and an IP68 rating.

The OnePlus 8 Pro is the most expensive phone OnePlus has ever made, but still cheaper than a number of competing flagships while offering a superior experience in a number of ways. With fast wireless charging, an official IP68 rating, and great battery life, this phone is what the OnePlus 7T Pro should have been.

Mobile Syrup | Brad Bennett

It's a device I wouldn't pitch to regular people like my mom or non-techie friends because the small improvements it has over the OnePlus 8 aren't worth the extra cost. That said, if you're looking for the premier OnePlus-dream, it doesn't get much closer than the OnePlus 8 Pro.

How HandsetExpert Works: We don't run ads on the site, or charge users to use the site. The site is funded using commission links, where we may receive a commission if a phone or tariff is purchased via HandsetExpert. Our editorial, phone scoring and recommendation system and deal-finding algorithms are not affected by this; we are fiercely committed to providing unbiased, independent information.

Important notes

  • We aim to compare as many tariffs in the marketplace from the UK as possible. However, we do not include every package (e.g. legacy tariffs no longer available, or tariffs only available to existing/specific customers), nor do we detail every aspect of every tariff (e.g. international out of bundle rates, on-network minutes, etc).
  • SIM Only deals do not include plans shorter than 30 days or Pay As You Go rates.
  • We work really hard to get accurate prices from as many providers as possible, but some deals or providers may not be included; if there’s anything we’ve missed then please get in touch and let us know.
  • Whenever we can, we will let you know if a deal is time limited (such as a flash deal), and when the deal expires.
  • For tariffs which offer "unlimited" allowances, there may be times where traffic management or fair usage policies apply.
  • Additional charges for payment methods other than direct debit and for itemised/paper billing may apply.
  • Data only SIM cards, mobile broadband packages, and pay monthly tablets are currently not included in the comparison.
  • Out of bundle charges are not included in the calculation of Average Monthly Cost.
  • Contracts may not be available for some phone models in all colours and/or sizes, and a small number may only be available either as a pay monthly contract or a contract free handset, but not both.
  • Providers may increase the cost of your contract by RPI (inflation). However, if prices are increased that then cause a materially detrimental impact, you have the right to exit your contract without penalty. More details available from Ofcom plus comparative information on customer service and complaints handling & their guide on how to complain.
  • Ofcom runs a voluntary accreditation scheme for digital comparison tools (DCTs) for telephone, broadband and pay-TV, and has confirmed that this DCT meets the criteria for accreditation. For further details about the scheme, including the criteria that DCTs must meet, visit the price comparison page on the Ofcom website.
