One plus 8T the camera array that has changed that's the first thing I noted the aquamarine green it looks nice one plus is also offering a lunar silver option by the way anyway we then have this white insert in it we find the regular stickers and some information material I like the color combination they've gone for it's very one plus 8t next, there's a tpu case one plus still includes this with their phones and I find it to be a nice touch given all the glass backs this kind of soft case does help show off the design while still adding to the grip rounding off the box contents we have a USB type c to type c cable and the new 65-watt warp charger and you know what let's start with this charger one plus have always prioritized fast charging so it was dash charge and then they changed the name to warp charge we've got workshops 30 now it's workshop 65. uh generally all these fast charging technologies that one plus 8t have used they've had one common issue when you use that charger to charge other phones the charging speeds are abysmal actually there are two issues the second issue being when you use a different quick charger on your oneplus phone to charge again the speeds are a bit small now this is something oneplus have addressed with the one plus 8t so now using this charger warp chat 65 uh if you use it and charge other devices it can charge as fast as 45 watts similarly for the oneplus 8t if you do not have your warp charge 65 adapter with you then you can still use a regular quick charger and get up to 27 watt charging speeds 30 to 65 words that's more about bragging rights but these kind of small tweaks small changes that one plus 8t has brought to the table that shows they are paying attention to the customer and while on the topic of paying attention there's still no wireless charging so i'm just putting it out there the battery capacity it's gone up to 4500 mah so 200 mah increase from its predecessor now despite this with warp chat 65 oneplus says that you can go from 0-100 in just 37 minutes and that's pretty nuts. the one plus 8t is running on oxygen os 11 which is built on top of android 11 so this is the latest os not a lot of phones have been launching with this but one plus have launched it and as always oxygen os here it is very fast it's very snappy from a functionality perspective there are certainly new things that one plus 8t have added for example there are new always-on display options now this is called inside and this basically shows you how many times you're unlocking your phone every time you unlock it you can see that counter can guarantee you you'd be surprised by how many times you end up unlocking your phone I mean make a guess uh write down a number you know guess how many times you're going to be unlocking your phone and then actually see this counter I was very surprised I'm pretty sure you'd be too.

Anyway the point of this is to basically guilt you into not unlocking your phone so much so that you get to spend more time with friends and family and in the same line uh this is basically around our digital well-being right oneplus has another digital well-being feature that's the zen mode that's not been uh improved we've got zen mode 2.0 with this you get multiple themes which is bleh but what I really liked is the group option so basically you can set up a group and you can have multiple people use zen mode at the same time so so for example you could probably say hey five to seven is family time put all  your phones on zen mode i mean of course everybody needs everybody in the family need to be using a oneplus phone for that but it is something that is doable and it's something weird quirky perfectly one plus the voice record enough converts text to speech and while there are these new features it's still the same old oxygen os in certain ways that we've come to love it's so fast it's very  responsive and of course stockish bloat-free and ad-free the chip inside is also something we've come to know pretty well this is the snapdragon 865 the same chip from the 8 and the 8 pro so no 865 plus here it's paired with 8 or 12 gigs of lpddl 4x ram and 128 or 256 gigs of ufs 3.1 storage the next change for the 80 is with the optics first off the array to the back it's more samsung now a little rectangular and the primary sensor it's not changed it's still sony's imx 586 last year's flagship ensor 48 megapixels and it's paired with the f 1.7 lens now i don't know if this is a new lens because uh with the one plus 8t we had a f 1.75 lens so i'm not sure they're just calling that as 1.7 or they have an entirely new lens here but what i am sure is that the camera performanceit still remains very good this is still an optically stabilized lens now the next camera this is something new it's the imx 481 a 16 megapixel ultra wide the field of view is much wider now at 123 degrees uh this is bringing oneplus closer to samsung levels at least with ultrawide field of views we then have this 5 megapixel macro so that's up from the 2 megapixel sensor on the 8 and the 4th camera that's the new one it's there to seemingly make up numbers this is a two megapixel monochrome and it's technically supposed to be helping with portraits like this the autofocus is as fast as ever we have support for 4k 60fps with stabilization no 8k but this time they've included a portrait video option by the way a selfie camera no change it's still that imx 471 sensor that oneplus really loves it's a 16 megapixel sensor paired with the f2 lens and the selfie is you know given it's the same hardware they share the same pros and cons uh as we've seen in the past they're detailed the colors are good but it does have a tendency to blow out the background from time to time the portraits are pretty cool as well the glass back here is glossy but oneplus claims that with their flexible flowscape design yes that is what they're calling it there's a bit of diffuse refraction i mean there's a lot of technobabble there but long story short what they're saying is it should be picking fewer fingerprints and in my limited time with this phone that seems to be the case it doesn't pick up fingerprints it doesn't seem to pick up fingerprints uh quite as easily as other phones with glass packs if you do prefer a matte finish you should probably go for the lunar silver option uh because that is still a matte finish that said no matter which variant you choose I think you should get this case this case it looks really cool uh i've never been so impressed by a case that brands launched in the past.

The placements they're still quite familiar we've got the power key and the alert slider to the right secondary noise cancelling microphone up top the volume rockers to the left and to the bottom we've got that dual nano sim tray a usb type-c port and a speaker this phone has stereo speakers so the earpiece up top that doubles as the second speaker and the output was quite loud via these speakers now that we're here let's also talk display now this is again an upgrade it's still the same size panel 6.55 inches it's still full hd plus it's still fluid amoled so what's changed the refresh rate it's gone up from 90 hertz to 120 hertz we all we've already seen 120 hertz fluid amoled panels uh the 8 pro had 120 hertz quad had plus this is 120 hertz full hd plus so that puts it kind of on par with the galaxy fe the s20 fe talking about samsung just like with Samsung one ui oneplus also seems to be targeting single-handed usage some interface design elements they've been given a makeover so what do we have here the same inex as its predecessor marginally improved battery capacity with a substantially faster charger a higher refresh rate panel some optical improvements.
