OnePlus 8 Pro Details & its features

The first thing I want to talk about is the display. So you may have heard a lot of people already say that this has the best display in the market right now, and don’t get me wrong, it’s a really, really good display, but it’s not perfect and we’ll go into that. So firstly, let’s talk about the good. Of course, it’s a big display. It’s bright, it’s brighter than what we had last year. It’s got a Quad HD plus resolution, supports HDR, 10 plus. But most importantly it has a 120-hertz refresh rate. One-plus were really one of the main manufacturers last year that popularized high refresh rate screens with One Plus 7 Pro. This year, they’ve gone even more ahead from 90 hertz to 120 hertz and it really does make a difference.

And unlike other competitive devices, you can have 120 hertz at Quad HD plus resolution. So you’re getting the maximum sharpness as well as the maximum smoothness all in one. And that’s something that I really like. But we do have this punch out. Now personally, I really don’t mind this punch out, but according to a lot of other people, this is a step back from the One-plus 7 Pro series which did have the pop out to camera, so you didn’t have any interruptions on the display. And from a poll that I did recently, it seems like it is pretty much 50, 50. Some people don’t mind the punch out but some people do prefer the pop out, especially because of privacy. That pop camera when it’s not being used, it is physically hidden. Now one of the reasons why One-plus has gone with the punch out rather than the pop up is for IP 68 water and dust resistance and the One-plus 8 Pro is the first One-plus device to have that official rating.

So I do think it’s going to come down to your personal preference. As I said, I personally don’t mind it and it’s something that you kind of ignore after a bit because it is out of the way in the top corner. Now let’s talk about a few of the negatives. So you’ll see that this is a very curved display from either side. And although this looks really cool in terms of usability, it can sometimes be a bit of a problem. Samsung, the company that actually popularized the cup display format, they themselves have now started to move away from that.
