OnePlus 8

What the critics say (scores are out of 100)

100	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. Read full review
100	Expert Reviews | Nathan Spendelow Excelling in all areas, a simple case of refinement is perhaps the best strategy of all. Read full review
100	Android Authority | Eric Zeman 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 Read full review
100	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. Read full review
92	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. Read full review
90	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. Read full review
90	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. Read full review
90	NDTV Gadgets | Roydon Cerejo ... if you're still hanging on to your 6T or anything older, the OnePlus 8 would be worth switching to. Read full review
90	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. Read full review
90	phoneArena | Preslav Kateliev ... 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 Read full review
87	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. Read full review
80	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. Read full review
80	Firstpost | Ameya Dalvi OnePlus 8 is undoubtedly a good phone, but not necessarily the best value for money option at its current selling price. Read full review
80	India Today | Javed Anwer I don't hesitate to recommend OnePlus 8 to anyone looking to get a phone Read full review
80	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. Read full review
80	Neowin | Rich Woods I don't think you'll regret it If you want to check out the OnePlus 8. Read full review
80	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. Read full review
80	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. Read full review
80	SlashGear | Chris Burns The OnePlus 8 Pro is generally better than the OnePlus 8, in most respects. Read full review
80	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. Read full review
80	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. Read full review
80	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 Read full review
80	Gizmodo UK | Sam Rutherford For everyone who has been scared off by Samsung's Galaxy S20s, this is the Android phone to get. Read full review
80	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. Read full review
80	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. Read full review
80	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. Read full review
76	TechPP (Technology Personalized) | Nimish Dubey Well, we would say that it is perfect for those who want a budget flagship that looks premium. Read full review
70	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. Read full review
70	PCWorld | Michael Simon If you need a phone right now, we'd recommend the OnePlus 7T as a nice stopgap. Read full review
60	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. Read full review
