Released alongside the OnePlus 8, the OnePlus 8 Pro is the more powerful version of their latest phone lineup. Most of the specs for these phones are identical except for some parts which reviewers considered game changing for better or worse.
OnePlus 8 Pro is larger and doesn’t fit snug in your hand like the OnePlus 8. But in exchange, you get a larger display, more capable cameras, and a few extra features.
OnePlus 8 Pro differences include:
- Larger 6.78-inch, 120Hz screen
- Higher 1440p resolution
- 48MP quad-camera with improved ultrawide lens and added telephoto lens
- Larger 4,510mAh battery
- Wireless charging support
- Ultramarine color option
- Documented waterproof rating
It’s hard to deny that the OnePlus 8 Pro has plenty of perks, but they come with a higher price. It’s all about what you want most from your phone experience. For additional specs and more info on the OnePlus 8 Pro check our summary for the smaller OnePlus 8.
