OnePlus 8

[...] 6 years and no noticeable differences in terms of battery, performance, screen, ergonomy, etc. [...]

[...] Nightcrawler runs a 1.2B-parameter model locally on the Adreno GPU of a OnePlus 8. [...] I've had it running on my home network for the past 3 months uninterrupted

How about the option to totally remove google without installing a custom rom. you start your brand new phone and a pop up appears: Would you like to remove google and all the other bloatware to start with a blank phone and choose to install exactly what you need and want. Please click here. I would then seriously consider buying a new phone instead of slightly older phones I can install custom roms on. now that would be a thing. In a perfect world I have an old Samsung S4 2013 (android 11) and an old Motorola G3 (android 11). I keep the G3 to listen to FM radio as modern phones dont have the FMradio. My main phone is a onplus 5T with android 14. A superb phone, 8 years old and still runs better than any modern phone my friends own. Cost me £75

No company will ever make a 5-8 year phone at that price But they already do? [...] Battery is the main reason I stopped using it. [...]

It's been 6 years and still working, by back glass cover was broken...with vendor shop I got it fixed for Rs 600.😂

i got a OnePlus 8 like several years ago and have never had any problems with it

I bought mine in 2020 and it still functions well today, however as it no longer receives security updates I am forced to look into getting a new phone since I also do banking on it. I am kinda drawn to the samsung galaxy a56 since it seems to be a mid range phone and costs about 300€, still not sure though

I bought it with my own money, so I can’t feel as bad as I do with the OnePlus 8. It’s good and all, but like, I totally missed an opportunity. I even considered selling it back in early 2024, but decided not to due to how much value it lost in only a year and a half.

Amusingly, most of the buses I've taken recently also have USB-C ports on them for ad hoc charging. I've been pleasantly surprised recently when I plugged in my OnePlus into the bus in a medium/small Belgian city and saw the supervooc animation. (And it was actually fast charging, a 8 minute ride gave about 15% battery.) For anyone wondering about technical details, PPS chargers now show up as supervooc apparently.

I have been running custom Android, mostly Cyanogen and Lineage, since the G1. I went G1 Nexus 1 Samsung S4 S5 OnePlus 5 Pixel 8. I won't buy a phone if it's not community supported.

I might have my hardware/software/firmware components (or your argument) mixed up and conflated. Does Oxygen Updater not source from published images? Yes, I am still on my beloved OnePlus 6 running Lineage and had been looking around for a used 7 or 8 for 5G capability (I'm a bit sketched out by the overall throttling hoopla of 9th gen). [...]

Bonus: Buy 5 phones from 2023 with their chargers. [...] In my experience you can barely get the phones to survive without their "own" wall charger + cable combination. [...] I don't understand how a 120€, 140W MacBook usb-c can't charge my OnePlus 8 at all. [...]

I've got that exact phone with that same interstellar back & Idk what you have on your fingertips but I hardly ever see prints on mine. First time trying this company & I'm very happy so far. We still have an original portable bag phone in a closet. A few Nokias laying around. LG, HTC Motorola & Samsung. Always seem to find some old phone somewhere. Lol. This one is very nice for my needs.

Thanks to you..I bought OnePlus 8 about 20 days back..Like you, I also use my phone very roughly..I want guidance regarding Insurance...whether to spend money on it or not..and if yes which insurance..

[...] Wish I would have see n it before I bought one. [...]

I'm the one who watched this on my One plus 8 and anna today we have received another update to stabilize some minor flaws and mentioned battery stability will be much hugh now 🥰🥰🙏🙏👍👍♥️♥️♥️

I bought it OnePlus 8 for business!, It's pretty good phone! 👌🏼

Ekdum sahi kaha bhai sab... Me bhi abhi oneplus 8 use kar raha hun same experience he sabme...

[...] Since I got it I haven't been fond of the restrictions which I guess piled up over 7-11, particularly the hell I faced when I wanted to update (but am now avoiding any more updates due to the Anti-Rollback Protection thing they're rolling out). It's still a very sturdy and performant device and I don't intend to upgrade for maybe another 8 years, but I'm already looking to move to another brand (NOT Samsung nor Google) when the time inevitably comes.

I have also seen this in Androids (I tested this on multiple devices - S23U, OnePlus 6,8) , whenever I completely turned off the swap , the phone after a day or two of heavy usage would sometimes hang! It felt unintuitive since these devices had lot of RAM, and they shouldn't need swap . But turning off swap has always degraded performance for me.

Don't buy it now but it's definitely all around a good phone with an average older camera experience. I finally upgraded after the c port started wearing so I had connection issues, it was hard finding a phone with better specs all around and new that wasn't over $1000 so I picked up another OnePlus.

Great phone but I would never buy a oneplus again because of their pitiful customer support. My back is cracked and the battery life is pitiful but I'm going to replace both for 50 bucks.

I have a OnePlus 8 on Android Oxygen OS 13.1 I have the same, colourful wallaper on my lock- and homescreen. Everytime I unlock my phone the display desaturates by 30-ish percent and fades back to normal in 3 seconds after unlocking. I'm clueless as to why 🙃

Im also using Oneplus 8....and its true that its camera really struggled a lot in lowlight....but i love its oxygen os♥️♥️ The gaming experience is insane😍

I have bought this one a week ago and ur review exactly same what found like the camera part. [...]

Bro even i have bought this phone and i am having the same problem in the camera department. [...]

I lost my phone today somehow. [...] :V Was a 2019 OnePlus 8 5G. [...]
