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

Just received my used OnePlus 8 5G, and I have to say it is the most beautiful thing ever. It looks brand new. The seller really does have some great product and I will be doing business with them again - down the road.

I upgraded to the OnePlus 8 from a Pixel 2XL, and I have thoroughly enjoyed this phone so far! I was a little hesitant buying this phone (with some complaining about the camera, and so many other phones releasing this fall), but this phone has surpassed my expectations! I wasn't interested in the OnePlus 8 Pro because of the larger size/weight and more expensive price tag. The OnePlus 8 is close to the size of my Pixel 2XL, which is big enough for me. Personally, I don't really care about wireless charging or water resistance. Also, I read the pro has a more prominent waterfall screen (the screen wraps around the sides of the phone more), which I was not interested in.The screen is big and beautiful! The hole punch camera doesn't bother me at all, and I forget it is there most of the time. The 90hz screen was a huge selling point for me, and is a huge upgrade from a 60hz screen. It really makes the phone feel buttery smooth.Speaking of buttery smooth, this phone will handle anything you throw at it! The combination of the beefy specs (emphasis on the 8gb/12 gb of RAM) and OxygenOS make for an amazing experience. I am not a big mobile gamer, but I did try PUBG to check out the 90 fps mode, which works and gameplay is smooth/fluid.The battery life has been fantastic. It will definitely get though an entire day with heavy usage. The included 30w fast charger will charge up your phone super quick if you are in a rush. The phone also has battery optimization options that will help prevent the battery from degrading overtime.The on-screen fingerprint reader is very fast and I rarely have issues unlocking the phone. I have not tried face recognition, because I just prefer the fingerprint reader.The stereo speakers are pretty great, and I have no issues with the sound quality. I mostly use Bluetooth Bose earbuds with the phone, and haven't had any connection issues at all.The build quality is very premium and feels like a $1000 phone. Hepatic feedback (vibration) is something people overlook in reviews, and it feels great and is subtle. The power and volume buttons also feel nice and clicky. The power button on the Pixel 2 XL felt spongy, and sometimes wouldn't even register me pressing it (it was super annoying). The notification slider (ring/vibrate/silent) is useful and should be on more Android phones. The glass back also makes the phone feel premium, but it is super slippery. It is also a fingerprint magnet (interstellar glow). So maybe slap a case or a D-Brand skin on the back (although the interstellar glow looks beautiful).In my opinion, the camera is not nearly as bad as some people are saying. It still takes high quality photos, and software updates will only make it better. It isn't as easy as the pixel 2XL's camera and camera software, but it has potential! It definitely isn't on par with the OnePlus 8 pro or other $1000 phones, but it gets the job done. I am definitely not a photographer or photography enthusiast, so if you are looking for a phone that takes the best photos, maybe go with the OnePlus 8 pro. Also, the 2MP macro camera on this phone is pretty pointless (which may be my only negative point in this review). I know some people were having issues with the selfie camera (reports of blurry/fuzzy images), but I haven't had any problems with it so far.Overall, this is exactly the phone I wanted. A super fast phone (high specs and 90hz screen) that I didn't pay $1000+ for. I will never be able to go back to a phone with a 60hz screen!

I give it 5 star so this post can reach many people of my exprience with this device.I strongly advise against purchasing this phone. Here’s my experience:I bought this phone in February, and it came with a 1-year warranty. After just three months of use, the phone prompted me to update its software. Following the update, a green vertical line appeared on the screen. My phone has always been in excellent condition—no scratches or damage—so I was surprised to encounter this issue.After doing some research, I discovered that many users have faced the same problem after updating their phones: a green line appears and doesn’t go away. Over time, additional lines show up, and eventually, the phone stops working altogether.Since my warranty was still valid, I contacted OnePlus for support. However, because my device is U.S.-based, they informed me that they could only repair it if I were in the United States. As I am not based in the U.S., they refused to provide any assistance.This is not my first disappointing experience with OnePlus. I previously owned a OnePlus 8T, which had similar issues. Believing it might have been a one-off factory defect, I upgraded to the OnePlus 8 Pro, only to face the exact same problem.To make matters worse, I asked the OnePlus agent if I could send the device to a service center in the U.S. at my own expense via DHL or FedEx. They declined my request, insisting that I must be physically in the U.S. to claim the warranty.I am thoroughly disappointed and will no longer recommend OnePlus devices to friends or family. This experience has left me completely done with OnePlus products.

I was in the market for a new phone as my OnePlus 6T was on its last leg, charging port no longer working, and the battery wasn't lasting as long as it use to.So far this phone has been great. It charges fast with my old OnePlus 30w Brick, the camera is great, storage is fantastic, wireless charging is awesome and I dont have to worry about wearing out the usb C port as fast. The menus, user interface, and overall build of the phone seem to be very solid so far.I havent experienced any of the green tint issues that were happening with this phone for other users last year and hoping that doesnt pop up at some point.My two gripes at the moment are cell signal and bluetooth.I work in a building with a metal roof pretty far from a cell tower but with my OnePLus 6T I never had less than 4 bars, calls were clear, and I never missed a call, text, etc.Since switching to the OnePlus 8 Pro my cell signal is significantly worse. No one can hear me while I'm inside the building anymore, sometimes I even wont receive calls until the last ring and by then the caller hangs up. I am using the same sim card as I was before on the same network as before. My APN is set correctly so it's definitely a phone issue.Bluetooth: While music will play through the car, earbuds, speakers no problem and at a decently loud volume, bluetooth calls however are terribly quiet. I never had any of these issues with my OnePlus 6T but in my vehicle I have to turn my phone and vehicles volumes to max to even barely hear the person on the other end, same with my bluetooth ear piece. Again music plays fine, audio calls do not. I have not found any changeable settings that allow me to correct his and it still is an issue at the moment. I have yet to find a third party app to bypass the bluetooth volume limit when on a call.
