OnePlus 8T Review: Wait for the OnePlus 9?

A follow up to the OnePlus 8 from earlier in the year, the new OnePlus 8T brings with it some big and small changes, but also a $50 increase. Do these new features justify this price bump? And how does the OnePlus 8T fare against the more affordable Samsung Galaxy S20 FE, Google Pixel 5 and Apple's iPhone 12 mini?

Fun Fact: One Plus 8T costs 590 dollars in India,
And Sam S20 FE costs 699 w/ inferior Exynos Chipset.
So, 8T any day of the week 🙌🏻✌🏻

Michael focused on key aspects which are upgraded from OnePlus 8. No other hands-on video mentioned these minor changes. That’s why always rely on Gadget Match for every technology review. Great video as always 👌🏼

Oneplus 9 review : wait for Oneplus 10?

[tkta]

I just ordered the 8T, love the color and does not feel cheap like the FE, the 65W charger is just what I need and of course the 120 hertz. Great video!

[AlexThorn]

Honestly man, Oneplus needs to take a serious look at their release schedule these last 2 years. It's a mess.

[bcdt]

Dude, you're, by far, one of the better reviewers. Fair and balanced. Excellent review. Waiting on the 9.

[rossn]

I hope they release a smaller phone something actually like the OnePlus X size.

The song has a nice African beat.
Hi from South Africa 🇿🇦

13:53 8T comes with 12GB Ram and 256GB Storage in the US

[julliansibi]

Love the video, Michael Josh! I think the specs on the 8T in the US are 12GB RAM and 256GB storage for $749. Please correct this because it's misleading. Thanks!

[istaygolden]

12:28 Was that a typo? Don't u mean 38 minutes? It's supposed to take 39 minutes according to Oneplus..

So I’ve watched a few videos of yours and I’m going to give you a subscribe. You have decent transitions, text to background colouring is good and photo quality sections have been good in this video so yes. Thank you and I’ll be looking forward to the new iPhone coverage for the mini and the pro max.

[harshanadesilva]

Your specs for the pricing is wrong on the video. It's 12GB RAM 256GB that you get for USD 749. Unfortunately the lower spec model is not available in the US. Actually the lower spec model (8GB RAM) costs even less than $699.

They're just playing around with their pricing this time around for the OnePlus 9

[murwisi]

Love the sound in the quality video. Twas a pleasure to watch. Very informative!!! Well done!!

There's always something going on in the tech world just like human lives.
Thank you for your review.

The background music(intro)reminds me of a bollywood song "apni to jaise taise"
"aapka kya hoga janabe ali" 😂😂😂

[briver]

I really enjoy your videos. Do you think the one plus mclaren edition is still good in 2020 it's at good price on their web site?

[samyakjain]

You are wrong about the 50 USD additional price, the 8T variant that is getting launched in US comes with 12GB RAM and 256GB storage so it is actually 50 dollars less than the launch price of 8.

This is one of those videos that I just have to respectfully disagree with. I just purchased my OnePlus 8T a few weeks ago and I love it. Actually, I chose it over the OnePlus 9 series for a couple of reasons. First off, it only cost $600 on Amazon and the OnePlus website. Secondly, the 8 series 1 + phones feature dual SIM card ability which were whatever stupid reason one plus chose to delete from the nine series. This phone is awesome and the build quality is second to none. I have absolutely no doubt that I made the right decision.

[shubhamchandra]

I would have liked for you to show other devices being charged with the same charger, OnePlus claims that the new charher supports USB PD, and not having that feature has kept me from using OnePlus because so many of my devices are PD based. Can you confirm?
