I have a OnePlus 8 Pro with an IR camera. It's pretty nifty - nature photography looks cool, seeing through stovetops is neat (and seeing when they heat up), and VR things are also often playing around with IR (plastic transparent to IR, IR LEDs, etc). I ended up having to flash Lineage, as there was some outrage that in a highly limited set of circumstances, thin see-through T-shirts became slightly more see-through and OnePlus disabled that camera in their later firmware updates.
I got the op 8 pro a few days ago, I have a display issue but only at minimum brightness otherwise this phone is amazing like I love how fast it is and how beautiful the display is, haven't tried the cameras yet but I have taken a few shots and it looks promising.
Used the 8 pro for 2 months n some days, upgraded to it from OP3 of 2016. Overall it's a great phone, good battery life, great specs & best of all you can take it out for a swim.👌 Also for me the curved display gives it a premium feel. This is set to last 4 yrs & then I pick myself the OP 12 pro.😉
[...] I got a UNAS 8 Pro a few months ago and it still sits empty. It's my own fault, I should have priced out the drives but I was buying Unifi equipment for a new house and wanted to try our their NAS offering. I just looked and the hard drives I've bought before are currently 3x the price I last paid. [...]
[...] After playing more with it, the 2020 OnePlus 8 Pro as my daily driver phone absolutely eclipsed 2025 Pixel 10. 8 Pro was the peak of One Plus luxury with QHD display at 3168x1440, with a pixel density of 513 ppi. [...]
Note that password-based Bitlocker requires Windows Pro which is quite a bit more expensive. [...]
I love my 8 pro , I got it after 10 years of iphones . Gotta say I haven't had finger print issues . The screen is great for content which I see a lot on my phone
i just today pulled the back off my old oneplus 8 pro and put a new battery in it after putting lineageos on there. i decided i was tired of using my locked down Samsung that's full of crap
Been using it for the last 1 week and I'm loving it. No regrets whatsoever!!!
Waiting for this kinda review...i am using 8 pro for almost 50 days now n loving it...m using dbrand grip case its the best case u can find
Use the nillkin case it's one of the best company which makes cases for premium and flagship smartphones am using it on my one plus 8 pro
I have op 8 pro but I didn't know I could get fantastic photos like you have shown 😍
Watching on my oneplus 8 Pro!!! Do have some display ISSUES BUT as you said ITS NORMAL!! I've had it on all my android phones with Amoled!
I've had the oneplus 8 pro from the launch and i got to say that my fingerprint reader works flawlessly, wonder if its something to do with your specific phone
My brand new OnePlus8pro was blacklisted in Japan for being under the oppo brand a couple years ago. [...]
I got my One plus 8 pro since 2 Months and I have absolutly no problems with the fingerprintreader, mayby its just Your phone?
I am an 8 pro user and I have certainly, certainly not experienced the fingerprint issue you talked about. It works perfectly.
Sir I have a budget of 60k and I am very much confused between ok oneplus 8 pro and iphone 11. [...]
[...] Is the camera with GrapheneOS as good as the stock android one? I get to use my wife's iPhone camera sometimes and it frequently shocks me how good and responsive it is. But I'm coming from a OnePlus 8 Pro, which never had a great camera in the first place.
I've been loving my OnePlus 7 Pro. I'm just so disappointed that TMobile isn't currently carrying the 8 Pro in their stores :( I've never loved a phone brand or been more impressed on a consistent basis than I have with OnePlus <3
