Smart device costs have actually been skyrocketing for a couple of years now, and for the longest time, OnePlus was the exception to the guideline. Now, OnePlus has a correct flagship in the OnePlus 8 Pro, however its “value” flagship in the OnePlus 8 really isn’t that terrific of a worth.
Hardware
Not actually that compact, but incredibly well developed
When it first revealed the OnePlus 8, the business pitched this phone as the answer to the popular fan request for a more “compact” phone. The OnePlus 8 is not a compact phone by any ways, but it is still a very excellent size.
The 6.55- inch screen with a tall element ratio leaves the 8 with a slim profile that suits the hand well. The thin design and slim electronic camera bump, too, leave the phone sensation much better in the hand compared to the bigger OnePlus 8 Pro. It’s still much larger than the Galaxy S20 or Pixel 4 and almost identical in size to the Pixel 4 XL, but it’s an appropriate size that’s an excellent compromise for a lot of individuals. The only “compact” part of this phone is the width that really just makes so much of an effect on the overall size.
The “compact” OnePlus 8 is essentially the same size as Google’s Pixel 4 XL
The hardware, too, is well designed. The back of the phone has a glass design that either utilizes a matte texture on the “Glacial Green” design or a glossy finish on the “Interstellar Radiance” model visualized in this post. Personally, I much prefer matte, but the “Radiance” option is definitely something unique.
Going around the sides of the phone, you’ll discover a typical power button, volume rocker, USB-C port, speaker, and microphones. You won’t find an earphone jack anywhere, but OnePlus does keep its signature Alert Slider around, using a physical method to change ringer modes.
Really, the only source of problem in the hardware department is the lack of an appropriate IP rating. This is something the OnePlus 8 Pro offers, but not this smaller model.
Software Application
As typical, Oxygen OS is mostly a satisfaction
One of the greatest benefits of the OnePlus 8 is that, as typical, it ships with the business’s Oxygen OS skin. That skin leaves Android to be Android, for the a lot of part, but makes a handful of tweaks that allow more flexible personalization tools. You can alter the system accent color to generally anything you want or switch the icons you see on your homescreen.
There’s a lot to love about Oxygen OS! Since I have actually been utilizing the OnePlus 8, here are a couple of things I’ve liked, and a few problems I’ve run into.
Beginning with the good, I discovered a brand-new feature I really like. OnePlus has made it possible t
