On a typical day, I was looking at five and a half to six hours of screen on time, ending the day with 25 to 30 percent left. On heavier days (heavy video watching, gaming, and turn-by-turn navigation), I am still able to hit a full day without any issues.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_60409\" style=\"width: 700px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-60409\" src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/thumbcache\/0\/0\/d8e075ac20442331ee9c3c24b951d86d\/p\/uploads\/2020\/11\/700x394x77fbfacf-1024x576.jpg.pagespeed.gp+jp+jw+pj+ws+js+rj+rp+rw+ri+cp+md.ic.fRPM1Blmv2.jpg\" alt=\"Grid of orange hexagons\" width=\"700\" height=\"394\" data-credittext=\"Peter Cao\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Peter Cao<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>And if the battery was dying faster than anticipated?

With the limited time I had with it, I constantly got shots with a ton of noise and not a whole lot of detail. Colors looked washed out, and photos were either overexposed or underexposed.<\/p>\n<p>Video mode is pretty decent as well. You can shoot up to 4K at 60 frames per second with options for 16:9 or 21:9 aspect ratios. The phone was able to compensate for my shaky hands, and the overall video was really good. The audio, however, could be categorized as \u201cgood enough\u201d especially in louder environments where everything sounded like a jumbled mess.<\/p>\n<p>The 8T has a portrait mode that works in videos that blurs the background giving you a bokeh effect while shooting video. This\u2026. is straight-up garbage and should be avoided at all costs. Under no circumstances did I want to shoot video in this mode. The camera constantly struggled with keeping the subject in focus while also blurring the background.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"OxygenOS_Is_Great\"><\/span>OxygenOS Is Great<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_60416\" style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-60416 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/thumbcache\/0\/0\/71e039bbc0ea0a49ceaa34c296840d88\/p\/uploads\/2020\/11\/x522dbd19.jpg.pagespeed.gp+jp+jw+pj+ws+js+rj+rp+rw+ri+cp+md.ic.PRzVJ1ttSJ.jpg\" alt=\"OnePlus 8T on a ledge\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" data-credittext=\"Peter Cao\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Peter Cao<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In terms of software experience, I\u2019ve come to love the small tweaks OnePlus has done to Android. If you can\u2019t have the stock Android experience from the Pixel line of devices, OxygenOS is the next best thing. Things such as the ability to hide the hole punch cutout natively, and hide certain status bar icons, are very nice touches.<\/p>\n<p>For the most part, everything is where you expect. There are no duplicate messages or phone apps or anything like that.<\/p>\n<p>With that said, not everything is perfect. I\u2019ve had a few issues with USB-C headphones and earbuds. I realize that most people have moved on to wireless headphones, but this issue seems to be specific to OnePlus devices as I\u2019ve had no issues with these headphones on other non-OnePlus devices.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_60473\" style=\"width: 700px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-60473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/thumbcache\/0\/0\/c07faa0579e57c837db1234cdd561712\/p\/uploads\/2020\/11\/700x394x4b605432.jpg.pagespeed.gp+jp+jw+pj+ws+js+rj+rp+rw+ri+cp+md.ic.tAwWhKTn6w.jpg\" alt=\"Close up of some bushes\" width=\"700\" height=\"394\" data-credittext=\"Peter Cao\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Peter Cao<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Out of the four USB-C headphones I\u2019ve tried, two of them did not play any audio. The phone detects the headphones as apparent by the headphone indicator in the status bar, and the \u201cwired headphones\u201d label in the quick settings panel. This only happens when I plug the headphones in via a USB-C to USB-C cable. It works fine if I use these headphones via a 3.5mm cable and a USB-C to 3.5mm dongle. Of course, Bluetooth headphones work just fine.<\/p>\n<p>A peculiar issue I\u2019ve faced that might not necessarily be the fault of OxygenOS but my review unit specifically, is that I\u2019m unable to register my left thumb with the fingerprint sensor. I\u2019ve had zero issues with this finger on any other device, but it\u2019s worth mentioning here.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve also noticed that the fingerprint sensor seems to take a beat longer than I\u2019ve come to expect from other flagships with in-display fingerprint sensors like ones found in the Samsung Galaxy S20, and much slower then non-screen fingerprint sensors found in the Google Pixel 4a or the iPhone SE (2020). Not a deal-breaker, but something worth noting.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Missing_a_Few_Flagship_Features\"><\/span>Missing a Few Flagship Features<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_60408\" style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-60408 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/thumbcache\/0\/0\/66bd8ce7f7798d5c68d85386cc6dd971\/p\/uploads\/2020\/11\/xe5b76809.jpg.pagespeed.gp+jp+jw+pj+ws+js+rj+rp+rw+ri+cp+md.ic.baJmTiIVkX.jpg\" alt=\"OnePlus 8T versus iPhone 12 Pro\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" data-credittext=\"Peter Cao\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Peter Cao<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>While I think the color and feel of the 8T feels great, the back is very slippery, making it hard to grip.

Obviously, putting the thing in a case will solve this.<\/p>\n<p>Fast wired charging is nice, especially when you\u2019re able to go from dead to 100 percent in under 45 minutes. However, the lack of wireless charging is a hard pill to swallow, especially at this price. The majority of other smartphones on the market support the feature. It may not be the fastest way to charge your phone, but boy is it convenient.<\/p>\n<p>The 8T also lacks any sort of IP rating, which doesn\u2019t necessarily mean the phone isn\u2019t water-resistant. But you will have to be extra careful around liquids with the device because any sort of accidental spill could be the end.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_60411\" style=\"width: 700px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-60411\" src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/thumbcache\/0\/0\/a29eecd9397b5e076208af5fed80b42e\/p\/uploads\/2020\/11\/700x394xb0f3ad9c.jpg.pagespeed.gp+jp+jw+pj+ws+js+rj+rp+rw+ri+cp+md.ic.WM0kwZmIAK.jpg\" alt=\"Seattle sky view\" width=\"700\" height=\"394\" data-credittext=\"Peter Cao\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Peter Cao<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The OnePlus 8T is a solid phone. It\u2019s missing some key features from other phones like the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE such as wireless charging and a high-resolution display. But that won\u2019t matter to most people. The trade-off is a smooth 120Hz display that\u2019s plenty sharp, and super-fast wired charging that can get you from dead to 100 in under an hour.<\/p>\n<p>The biggest drawback is in the camera department. It\u2019s simply not as good as other cameras in its price range.<\/p>\n<p>Warp Charge 65 is super nice, especially if you\u2019re in a pinch. But I\u2019m not sure it\u2019s something that would have me choose the 8T over another phone. Plus, battery capacity and health are questionable given faster charging could potentially lead to shorter battery life in the long term.<\/p>\n<p>I just wish it would\u2019ve given up 5G to squeeze in a better camera, wireless charging, an IP rating, and maybe even a 1440p screen.<\/p>\n<div class=\"single-review-card border\">\n<div class=\"review-card-body\">\n<div class=\"text\">\n<div class=\"pros\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Heres_What_We_Like-2\"><\/span>Here\u2019s What We Like<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>120 Hz display<\/li>\n<li>Long battery life<\/li>\n<li>Fast charging w\/ 65 W Warp Charge<\/li>\n<li>Reliable fingerprint sensor<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cons\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"And_What_We_Dont-2\"><\/span>And What We Don&#8217;t<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Cameras are decent at best<\/li>\n<li>1080p display<\/li>\n<li>Lacks wireless charging<\/li>\n<li>Lacks official IP rating<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>setTimeout(function(){!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s){if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window,document,'script','https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');fbq('init','1137093656460433');fbq('track','PageView');},3000);<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">For forums sites go to <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/forum.buradabiliyorum.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Forum.BuradaBiliyorum.Com<\/a><\/span><\/strong>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>If you want to read more like this article, you can visit our <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/en.buradabiliyorum.com\/technology\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Technology category.<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"color: black;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/60308\/oneplus-8t-review-a-powerful-phone-with-a-camera-that-cant-compete\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Source<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;#OnePlus 8T Review: A Powerful Phone With Lacking Cameras&#8221; Rating: 7\/10 ? 1 &#8211; Absolute Hot Garbage 2 &#8211; Sorta Lukewarm Garbage 3 &#8211; Strongly Flawed Design 4 &#8211; Some Pros, Lots Of Cons 5 &#8211; Acceptably Imperfect 6 &#8211; Good Enough to Buy On Sale 7 &#8211; Great, But Not Best-In-Class 8 &#8211; Fantastic,&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":111082,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2020\/11\/09aea907.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-111081","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/111081","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=111081"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/111081\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/111082"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=111081"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=111081"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=111081"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
