OnePlus 8T vs 8 Pro comparison review

Comparing the OnePlus 8T vs the 8 Pro, to see how the new flagship stacks up to the most recent Pro smartphone for camera smarts, performance, battery tech and specs. Now that the OP8T has replaced the OP8, should you grab this new phone or go with the larger, older model?

My long term review of that handset just went live and my full OnePlus 8T unboxing is also up, if you want an in-depth tour of this fresh handset - while my OxygenOS 11 tips guide reveals the best new features coming to that Pro device soon.

No matter your choice, you get plenty of power. Qualcomm's Snapdragon 865 chipset powers both blowers, with the X55 modem adding 5G smarts. Games like PubG and CoD Mobile play like a dream, with the Game Space tool adding useful features on top. However, the OnePlus 8T seems to be a bit more capable in the camera department so far, offering realistic colour reproduction and strong HDR smarts. You also have Warp Charge 65 tech, although only the Pro's battery can be boosted wirelessly.

You get a 120Hz display either way, although the Pro also packs Quad HD Plus visuals. And while the OP8T already comes with OxygenOS 11 and the latest Android out of the box, this slick software will hit the older phone soon enough.

So that's how the latest OnePlus mobiles stack up for specs, camera tech, power and the rest. Have a gander at my long term Pro review for all you need to know about this beast.

I went with the 8T, simply for the flat screen. I tried the curve screen thing once, not for me. Got the marine green, 256gb, 12gb. Can't say its a major jump, coming from the 7T, but I'm very happy with it.

I wouldve gotten an 8 pro this summer IF they had stock. They never had any stock. So i'm ordering an 8T. About time i retire this OnePlus 3 anyways.

I bought the OP 8 Pro as OP reduced it by £250 so I went for it & it has not disappointed with the WiFi ear buds & 50W WiFi charger it is really a good set of tools in the hand.
There is a lot to learn how to use its functionality fully but I will keep looking for a review of how to use all the features.
Thanks

Great Verses Video. I will go with 8T, in the AquaMarine config. This phone should last, with updates for 3-4 years, I hope. Hopefully, 5G will be rolling out to more areas in the US from 2021-2022. OS11 should be good through 2021. Thanks, mate for the very complete reviews. Cheers!

10:26 OnePlus 8 Pro is SO MUCH better :/

[paulbakewell]

I've had my 8 pro for 4 months now and think the screen and picture quality is the best I've seen. Can't stand the curved edges though and I really struggle to get a full day out of the battery.

I got the 8 pro and I bought the 8T for my brother. Both of them are fantastic, but for most people the 8T would be a better choice since the 8 pro's edge screen can be annoying sometimes.

OnePlus has completely nailed the silver Matt finish with lunar silver on OnePlus 8T ... Please please oneplus make a special silver edition for OnePlus 8 pro ....🙏🙏🙏🙏

[donaldbaird]

the oneplus 8 pro does come with a screen protector, ig review units like yours didnt

[AlexHernandez-gnrd]

I own the op7 pro and I don't see a point to upgrade but I did like the fact I just read that OnePlus has removed that bloatware from fb. On its devices. Thank you OnePlus was considering jumping to iOS but your buds z and good news about bloatware is keeping me with you OnePlus don't lose your identity

Hey Chris, could you compare the Oneplus 8T with the Mi 10T Pro?

[Manas_Choudhary]

8T looks like the Galaxy M31s 😕
8 Pro is much more of an original design.

[adamkehoe]

I've had a OnePlus 2, 5, 7Pro (Current Phone) & Nord, will be giving the 8T Pro a miss, as the 9 next Spring will be a brand new phone. I think my next OnePlus phone will be either the 9 (2021) or the 10 (2022).
