OnePlus 8 VS iPhone 11: Which is the BEST Flagship Killer?

I love how Michael Fisher recently pointed out the reality behind the new OnePlus approach: You either die a hero, or you live long enough to become the Villain (OnePlus 8 Pro review: 8:09)

It seem the company we once called the flagship killer has decided to switch sides, and it's not because of the OnePlus 8 Pro. I mean, that's finally the flagship without compromise that we always asked for, so it's up to you if you wanna pay more for it.

No for me the main antagonist of the story is the OnePlus 8. This phone is meant to satisfy those looking for everything OnePlus has been known for, and yet this is the first time we get the compromise without the aggressive price. At $699, we're already talking iPhone 11 territory, which means that either OnePlus has forgotten why its developed such a fan base, or it might just be that it feels that its flagship killer successor is just as good, or better.

I bought the OnePlus 8 recently and I'm very happy with it. No regrets.

AMERICANS : COMPARING THE ONEPLUS 8 TO IPHONE 11 COZ IT'S THE SAME PRICE.
INDIANS: COMPARING THE ONEPLUS 8 PRO WHICH ₹15K CHEAPER THAN IPHONE 11.
AMERICANS: SAYING THAT THE IPHONE SE KILLED THE ONEPLUS 8 WITH THE PRICE.
INDIANS : THE iphone SE is a hair ( slightly) expy than the ONEPLUS 8.
It's shocking to see huge price differences between countries.

Back when the iPhone XR was the best beloved iPhone... Time flies so fast

India Pricing :
One Plus 8 = 545$
Iphone SE 2 = 545$
One plus 8 pro = 727$
Iphone 11 = 887$
Iphone 11 Pro = 1384$


So i think One plus 8 is clear bang for the buck

I got both phones and using 11 as my back up. I gotta say the oneplus is way better during gaming than the iphone if you all are wondering.

Got a One Plus 8 yesterday. Much faster than the S10+ I got rid of. So far the 8 is winning hands down. Friend has an iPhone and he looked at my 8 today. Picked up his phone and ordered an 8 also. He loved it!

And this is why I love Jaime's reviews....dude went into the review thinking the iPhone camera would blow Oneplus' out of the water, but changed his bias when he saw it didn't....that, people takes courage, not all the reviewers have it

[swapnil]

Now Oneplus is also demanding kidney for his phone as like iPhone 😂
I wish oneplus will start his oneplus x series again for regular people.

I was utterly disappointed with the ONEPLUS 8 when it was being reviewed by everyone after its launch few days back. I love the 8 PRO but the vanilla model sacrificed too much. But, then this review happened and I am truly surprised to see how it improved so much. I'm thinking if they can do the same with the 7 series though.

[harshabharadwaj]

I recently switched over from iphone XR to OnePlus 8 and I'm pretty happy with my decision 👍👍

[phonenerrd]

OnePlus 8 for me. Camera is good enough, love the ROM and I'm on T-Mobile so I'm on 5g.

[tejomukesh]

Why is nobody talking about the telephoto lens which was on the 7t but was removed for no apparent reason in the oneplus 8??Like, they increased the price by 150 bucks for less features?

Depends on what OS and type of phone you like. Both are fantastic devices but my vote goes to the iPhone 11. I like ios software and prefer the flat screen.

[codyday]

I have to comment on the price, the OP8 is actually starting at $800. The 128GB model is nowhere to be found, just the 256 model. Even the carriers don't have it

[ጂዩዝ]

11:18 one looks like a modern phone and the other looks like a Prehistoric phone LOL

I just bought the Oneplus 8, in excellent condition, yesterday on Ebay for $249.99 shipped, from a Top Rated Plus seller with an outstanding rating!
I just couldn't find ANY other phone that would even come close to competing with the Oneplus 8 for that kind of money. A fantastic value! I've bought slightly used, excellent condition phones before, that have gone through a complete multi - point checkout, and never had a single issue. I do search high and low for only A stock or excellent condition. 😎🤘

I am amazed how OnePlus address these issues that reviewers are noticing at a way faster pace than the bigger company -- Samsung. Kudos to OnePlus for not only coming up with a competitive flagship this year but is also offering a much cheaper option without alot of compromise.

I'm a gamer, I have tried both android and IOS. In my opinion IOS is better in gaming. Like in CSR2, android devices keep crashing in live race of the game while the IOS does not, ever. And loads way faster. If you are a CSR2 player and have tried both OS, you definitely know what I mean. I was a very solid fan of android before, but because of what I have experienced, I'm into IOS now. By the way the androids I have are Samsung Note 8 and 10, and I'm comparing it to an old Iphone 7 of mine in that specific game. And it also does better in FPS in some other games. Guess I have to replace my newly bought Samsung Note 10 to Iphone 12 Pro when it's out on the market. Just saying. No hate and peace. Both android and IOS are amazing in their own ways. We all have different preferences, and I respect what is yours. Have a good day!
