OnePlus 8 Pro Ultramarine Blue, 5G Unlocked Android Smartphone U.S Version, 12GB RAM+256GB Storage, 120Hz Fluid Display,Quad Camera, Wireless Charge, with Alexa Built-in, comments, reviews

I have nothing negative to say about this phone so far. Even though it is more expensive than previous OP phones it is still cheaper than comparable flagships with similar specs. Upgrading from a OP 5T to the 8 Pro. No display problems and it was a seemless transition between phones. Within a few hours I had it transferred and setup. The screen is gorgeous and responsive. The inscreen fingerprint sensor and facial recognition are quick and accurate. The camera is a huge step up even though the 5T camera was pretty good. I love the dual speakers. No I don t constantly muffle the sound when playing games in landscape mode. COD mobile is performing better with higher graphics settings and the battery life is noticeably longer even with the phone settings maxed out. Also to note, don t listen to these negative reviewers about the Amazon Alexa. These people haven t even purchased the device and their reviews should be deleted because they are ignorant. The phone does not come with Amazon Alexa. It merely supports it. Just like it also supports Google Assistant(Natively) you have to install Amazon Alexa if you want it.

-Screen is beautiful, a slightly bigger resolution from the previous generation of phones. Do I really need to say the 120Hz is absolutely stunning?! -Speakers are LOUD, honestly did not expect the level they produce, they are by no means audiophile but they do a good job. -Responsiveness to touch is next level, I ve used Apple s and Samsung s flagships, and I really enjoy the smoothness of transitions between applications, faster than the competitors I have tried. -Oxygen OS is by far one of my favorites of the phone, it s lightweight and not bogged down by anything. -Games run very smooth! -Battery life is pretty amazing, 4500mah last a LONG time -Some people may be turned off that by default Netflix comes installed on the phone(Though the HDR on it is AMAZING LOOKING) -Transitioning from an Apple or Samsung may leave some software features to desire, possibly UI issues you do not like. However there is a great deal of customization with this phone so it has never been an issue with me. -Alexa DOES NOT COME INSTALLED BY DEFAULT, PLEASE STOP DOWN VOTING FOR A PHONE YOU DON T EVEN HAVE. -That being said if you want alexa, it s in the app store, if not you re set! -This phone was controversial in a that it was a flagship, from a company that has historically against flagships. However, it is an absolutely superb piece of technology that is well worth the money.

Let me start off with saying those concerned about the Alexa integration because of Amazon, it doesn t even come preinstalled. Those complaints are non-issues and the people who complained are to be ignored imo. This is a fantastic hunk of tech. I was slightly concerned I d experience the screen toht issue, but I was lucky. The camera is a giant upgrade from my old 3T from 2016 and the feel is fantastic. Super smooth, super responsive, super clear. The only cons are that the included screen protectors were ruined by some tiny chunks of something that managed to fly into both (can t blame OnePlus for that because I have animals but it still sucked. I d have liked a more robust applicator included, not just freehanding). The other is that gesture controls are a bit finicky at times with the edge of the screen, but the included case helps a lot there. Everything else is brilliant. Attached are some pictures of my animals using the phone. The dog was with portrait mode, the cat was nightscape. EDIT: SCREEN TINT DISCOVERY A few days ago I finally noticed the screen tint and where why it happens. It ONLY happens in very low light. For example: laying in bed with lights off, and only in some apps. If you even bump the screen brightness a little manually, it goes away. If you have even a corner lamp on near you, it goes away. In my testing, Reddit gets a slight red tint and YouTube gets a slight green one. these are the only places I ve really noticed it, and it s only in dark mode layouts as far as I ve tested. All-in-all, it s a very minor issue that could be and will likely be fixed or adjusted for in future major updates to OxygenOS. Those complaining about it as a completely unforgivable negative should breathe a bit and relax. I ll dock a point from my original 5 stars for it, but as far as I m concerned, it s not ruining my experience or life and I see no reason to return the phone. Your mileage may vary in that opinion, but I figured I should update this review

This phone is so much better in photographic quality then my Galaxy Note 10 and my fianc s IPhone X Max. I m so happy really.

Wow. I cannot believe how incredibly satisfying this phone feels to use. Smooth as melted butter. I almost ended up getting another phone since the stock didn t seem like it was going to come back ever, and I was running my Moto X4 since I had had a OnePlus 6 die in the rain before that. It was totally worth the wait. I m glad I didn t get another phone. The OnePlus 8 Pro is simply a perfect phone for me. The software is unencumbered with very thoughtful additions and customizations. This what Android should be. At first I was skeptical about the size of the phone. I had read it is quite large and difficult for one hand use. I had looked at the measurements of the width versus other phones I had used, but you still never know until you hold a phone in your hand. This is good size for me. It is a very tall phone and the width is just fine for me. It looks good. I realize this is subjective to each individual, but it s not nearly as unusable with one hand as you might ve thought. I love it with the sandstone case on. As far as Alexa, I had been skeptical at first as well and nearly waited to just get the one from OnePlus directly, but don t listen. Alexa has not come into my life. She won t bother you and disturb your peaceful life. I have not seen her once, so go ahead and take the plunge. Get the phone off Amazon, it s no different, plus buying with a prime card gives that nice 5 cash back. I won t get into any phone specifics since most people looking at the 8 Pro probably already know exactly what they re getting. It s as advertised. An absolute beast performance wise, and beauty to look at. Get yours already.

ve been a Pixel person for many years now, but didn t have many options for an unlocked phone with near stockish Android and decent battery life. I will start by saying the phone doesn t have Alexa installed and it isn t required. Anyone giving it a poor review for that is misinformed. This phone seemed to be a better fit than a newer Pixel, but I was concerned with camera quality. The photos I ve taken look really great and the camera app is very similar to the others I ve used. I ve taken several hundred pics since owning the phone and they have turned out almost as good (in some cases even better) than the ones taken with my Pixel 2 XL. ve installed all of my apps and been using it heavily and it gets significantly better battery life than my other phones. This was a big complaint and one of my primary reasons to upgrade. The screen on the 8 is really bright in Auto and adjusts well to surrounding light. Leaving the phone to adjust automatically has been fine most of the time and I rarely change it myself. The Warp Charging is absolutely amazing. Plugging it in for a short amount of time charges the battery up enough to use for hours. This wasn t really a huge selling point for me, but it did make me quite happy when I used it. The build quality and looks are impressive too. It just feels like a premium phone. The Interstellar Glow is an interesting color choice and it looks so good in person. Any clear case will show off it s iridescent shine. Software has been a big win here. The simplicity of stock Android has always been appealing to me and getting away from that has been hard. You don t realize how much you were missing until you start using something like Oxygen OS on a OnePlus phone. You can change the icons on the entire phone with icon packs downloaded from Play Store. You can change the status bar, system icons, the color and shapes. So many things can be customized and it is so smooth. I was worried that I would spend the money to be let down, but this has been a great purchase. I m happy with it and can t say enough good things about my new phone.

This is my second Oneplus smartphone as I m moving from the 6 to 8 and I ve found a home with OnePlus. It may not have the name recognition in the USA that some of the other well-known brands do (Apple, Samsung, LG, Motorola, etc.) but now that more carriers are starting to adopt the brand in the states (Verizon T-Mobile) it s only a matter of time before it s mentioned in the same breath as the Iphone or a galaxy. It has already topped many of the best phones of 2020 lists and for good reason. This phone is a beast, plain and simple. Whatever you throw at it, it can handle it plus more. Navigation in buttery smooth with a 90hz refresh rate screen. It s got all the hardware you want under the hood with the latest Snapdragon processor on the market, 12GB of memory and 256GB of storage in the model I went with. It runs Android 10 with OxygenOS 10 UI which has always been good about giving the user great performance without shoving bloatware down your throat (it s there but not in your face) They went away from the notch on the 6 and moved to a hole punch selfie camera on the 8 which really opens up the screen space. The rear cameras are high-powered topping out at 48MP and takes superb pictures and videos. The 4300 mAh battery has already lasted me a complete day and some change including a twelve-hour shift at work as an IT professional when I m constantly using my phone to perform tasks. The warp charger is insanely fast as I can go to empty to a full charge in about 45 minutes. What it lacks, I don t miss. The headphone jack is no more from the 6 but most all phones have said goodbye to that relic from yesteryear. I don t want to pay a premium for an IP68 rating (just get a SUPCASE Unicorn Beetle case and thank me later) nor do I care about wireless charging. If those things are important to you, pay the extra 100-200 and upgrade to the OnePlus 8 Pro. While the phone is 5g capable, unless you re on T-Mobile, you will likely only see 4G LTE if you re like me (AT T) since the device is ahead of the carriers in terms of coverage and compatibility. The best Android experience around all at an affordable price point in the top tier of flagship devices. This is the smartphone you want. Don t hesitate and purchase with supreme confidence. Smooth 90hz refresh rate Snapdragon 865 256GB of Storage and 12GB of memory GSM Unlocked (AT T, T-Mobile, etc) Fast 30w WARP charging 5G capable Great picture quality In screen fingerprint reader Price is still exceptional compared to other flagship phones with similar specs No IP68 dust water resistant rating Storage not expandable No headphone jack Lacks wireless charging 5G currently only compatible on T-Mobile

s my first day with the one plus 8 pro 256GB phone, coming from galaxy s9 (2years ago). This phone is clearly faster, but the best part is the smooth scrolling. Screen looks good, and I tend to trust displaymate. The finger print reader is instant so far. I noticed the sound of this phone has better base than s9 plus, voice of YouTuber sounded better on speaker. As a Samsung lover, I ve been wondering what features I may miss. So far just occasionally checking on Samsung what time I fell asleep. For a moment, I recall thinking, Atmos, I doubt one plus covered that base. But they did. The gs9 is lighter, and a bit shorter, and I can tell it feels better when limited to one hand. The galaxy s20 , my other consideration, is even lighter than the s9 plus. I think this is the main disadvantage to me, but so far I m excited to give a new oem a chance. I think one plus checked so many boxes it was a compelling choice. I ll try to update if I regret switching oems, which I usually do when I try anything else.

Have had this phone for a few days now. I grow more fond of it every day. I highly recommend setting up and doing a software update first thing. I am coming from a Pixel 2 XL. One of the big things for me was the camera. The OnePlus takes extremely good pictures and videos. Played around with the slow-mo option and it was pretty cool. The regular photos have slightly more exposure than my Pixel, but they are very crisp and clean. I imagine the camera and its features will only get better with future software updates. The phone itself is great. The features and flow of its Oxygen OS is phenomenal. My girlfriend got a Note 20 Ultra at the same time, and the layout and user-friendliness of the OnePlus seems better to me. On that note, the photos are almost identical on her phone and the OnePlus. I have spent some time playing around with the phone, watched videos, and read about features of the OnePlus, and there are a lot of ways to customize this phone. The fingerprint reader works well, however I did have to delete one of my thumb imprints a couple times for it to really work well. I ve got both thumbs and a finger on file and they all work well now. There really are a lot of cool features with the phone that would be too much to list here. Youtube Tips and tricks for OnePlus 8 Pro and it ll pull up lots of stuff. The phone comes with a screen protector already installed, so that was a bonus. It smudges somewhat easily, but probably no more than any other screen proctector. I would buy this phone again in a heartbeat. It s really cool and has lot of customizations and really cool little features that make it awesome. I ll updated this review as things come up, good or bad. UPDATE, 9-15-20: Still loving it.

This is mostly a review on either Amazon or OnePlus fulfillment abilities at the moment. I put in an order for an Ultramarine Blue 8 Pro two weeks ago, only for my order to get delayed. And to put salt on the wound, I finally got the package today, only to reveal a standard 8 in Interstellar Glow. Not sure who screwed up here, but I m just letting anyone interested know that getting theses phones in your hands is a process right now. Will update once I finally get the correct device. Received the correct phone within the same week. Amazon guarantees that you will receive the correct item within 3-5 business days of receiving the returned item, which seems to happen even if it s out of stock. They must have some in reserve just in case. Say what you will about Amazon, but their customer service is top notch. If you re deciding between ordering off of OnePlus s website vs Amazon, definitely go Amazon for their service and accountability. Stock still seems to be an issue, so if you re willing to wait a month or so for that to steady, I m sure you will encounter a much smoother experience than I did. The phone itself absolutely flies, and the ultramarine is straight up gorgeous. Quite an upgrade from my chugging Galaxy S8. However, no phone is worth the price premium gougers are charging when out of stock; the wait will be worth it. Overall, I d rate everything a 3.5, but Amazon doesn t do half stars.
