PRODUCT REVIEW

The OnePlus 8 Pro is now a fully featured flagship worth a pretty penny. This is certainly a departure from OnePlus' original image of high-performance for low cost. With every passing iteration, OnePlus continued to build on its previous device's success and even if it did sometimes hype our expectations, it has consistently improved in many areas throughout the years.

The OnePlus 8 Pro is a solid smartphone packed with a well-improved camera and all the top features that you'd expect from a flagship like reverse wireless charging, stereo speakers, and a top-of-the-line display with 120Hz refresh rate. Top performance from the Snapdragon 865 and 5G connectivity are must-haves in this space, but where OnePlus is no longer competing is in the very space it began.

OnePlus is a perfect example of the notion: "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em," and this is exactly what the company has done with the 8 Pro. It's managed to become the very thing the company initially set out to defeat. It did call its phones "Flagship killers" for a while. These days, there is so much more competition in the category that OnePlus first started in, that it would rather compete at the flagship level with the big boys.

And they have succeeded in this endeavor. The OnePlus 8 Pro is a high-end smartphone worth considering. The company's attention to detail in software, packaging, and design make their brand worth being a fan of.
