OnePlus 8

Stuff | Andrew Williams

OnePlus gets over the 5G upgrade hump in style. The camera's no better, it's worse in one way, but we get a style upgrade and an only slight jump in cost.

Expert Reviews | Nathan Spendelow

Excelling in all areas, a simple case of refinement is perhaps the best strategy of all.

The OnePlus 8 isn't perfect, and may come across as disappointing to some who consider it too "lite" when compared to the powerful, formidable OnePlus 8 Pro. Think of it this way, it's the iPhone 11 or Galaxy S20 of OnePlus phones - meaning it's the one most people should buy

The Guardian | Samuel Gibbs

Overall the OnePlus 8 offers a lot of phone for the money in a manageable size, making it the very best lower-cost 5G device released so far.

ZDNet | Matthew Miller

Looking across the landscape of smartphones as 5G continues to be activated across the country, a stunningly beautiful 5G phone that is extremely capable, a joy to use, and gets you through a full day is a solid deal.

Wired UK | Sophie Charara

If you can live without a top-end camera then the new OnePlus 8 is both a great phone and great value for money.

The Indian Express | Nandagopal Rajan

I highly recommend this for gamers and those who like to indulge in some serious photography or videography with their phones.

... if you're still hanging on to your 6T or anything older, the OnePlus 8 would be worth switching to.

TechRadar | David Lumb

The OnePlus 8 sets the bar high for affordable flagships in 2020. While its design refinements borrow elements from other flagships, it's an undeniably sleek phone, with waterfall display edges and a punch-hole for the front-facing camera.

... if you are tempted by the OnePlus experience, but don't want the OnePlus 8's curved screen or paying the OnePlus 8 money, you can still get last year's OnePlus 7T. It's only a few months old, still has a great display with 90 Hz refresh, it's still snappy

CNET | Lynn La

If you're watching your budget closely but don't want to sacrifice a lot in terms of hardware, the OnePlus 8 should be your top contender.

Wired | Sophie Charara

It's not for anyone who thinks the camera is the be-all and end-all of their smartphone. And it's also not for anyone who is looking for lots of tricks and new features to experiment with. For literally everyone else, though, this is a great buy with no real complaints.

Firstpost | Ameya Dalvi

OnePlus 8 is undoubtedly a good phone, but not necessarily the best value for money option at its current selling price.

India Today | Javed Anwer

I don't hesitate to recommend OnePlus 8 to anyone looking to get a phone

pocketnow | Anton Nagy

The OnePlus 8 has proven to not just be a great smartphone for the present, but also a good investment for the future.

Neowin | Rich Woods

I don't think you'll regret it If you want to check out the OnePlus 8.

Trusted Reviews | Max Parker

Already own a OnePlus 7T? You don't need to upgrade, and the next OnePlus generation will likely have better cameras. They arguably get slightly worse this time around. However, if you want a quality phone and 5G at a sensible price, this is your best option until cheaper 5G modems appear.

Tom's Guide | Philip Michaels

The OnePlus 8 delivers solid performance, long battery life and 5G at an attractive price, but the cameras could be better.

SlashGear | Chris Burns

The OnePlus 8 Pro is generally better than the OnePlus 8, in most respects.

Pocket-lint | Mike Lowe

Sure, it's pricier than its predecessors, but this handset continues to deliver a flagship experience that costs hundreds less than an equivalent from most others. That's OnePlus' big selling point, delivered time and again. If you want more from the cameras and a better-yet screen, look to the Pro model, otherwise, this one is just super as it stands.

PC Mag | Sascha Segan

The OnePlus 8 delivers 5G flagship performance at a fair price, making it the right phone to buy for a new network in an economically uncertain time.

jmcomms | Jonathan Morris

I can say here and now that there's nothing fundamentally wrong with the camera set up here ... but the OnePlus 8 Pro offers a more dynamic camera setup

Gizmodo UK | Sam Rutherford

For everyone who has been scared off by Samsung's Galaxy S20s, this is the Android phone to get.

AndroidPit | David McCourt

I still think the regular OnePlus 8 is the thinking man's 5G phone to buy right now. With snappy performance and a cost-cutting in the right areas, the phone almost marks a return to OnePlus' roots. The goalposts have moved on price, that's all.

Android Central | Andrew Martonik

OnePlus didn't change much from the 7T, but it didn't need to. You get fresh hardware design and a bump in specs, plus 5G, with the same great basics: a really good display, strong battery life, consistent camera performance, and amazing software.

The Verge | Jon Porter

Suffice it to say, if you want a zoom lens and a better-quality camera overall, particularly when it comes to low-light performance, then you have to go for the 8 Pro.

TechPP (Technology Personalized) | Nimish Dubey

Well, we would say that it is perfect for those who want a budget flagship that looks premium.

91mobiles | Kshitij Pujari

The software platform is a critical part of the overall usage experience I feel, and that, combined with its top-end hardware, do make the OnePlus 8 worth a second look.

PCWorld | Michael Simon

If you need a phone right now, we'd recommend the OnePlus 7T as a nice stopgap.

Digital Trends | Andy Boxall

The OnePlus 8 is a good smartphone. It has an attractive screen, a decent camera, great software, and long battery life. I love the design, the matte glass, and the green color.
