Comparison review

The OnePlus 8 UW construction is newer, just a bit thinner and a bit lighter than the OnePlus 6T. The OnePlus 8 UW and OnePlus 6T count with similar processing units, they have a Octa-Core CPU and a 8 GB RAM.
The OnePlus 8 UW counts with a bit more vivid display than OnePlus 6T, because it has a little better pixel quantity per inch in the display, a quite better resolution of 1080 x 2400 and a bit bigger display. OnePlus 8 UW takes much clearer videos and photos than OnePlus 6T, because although it has a tinier camera aperture which is not nice for shooting pictures and video in low-light situations, and they both have the same 60 frames per second video frame rates and the same 3840x2160 (4K) video quality, the OnePlus 8 UW also counts with a way higher resolution camera and a much larger back camera sensor capturing way higher quality photographs.
The OnePlus 6T features a much better memory capacity for games and applications than OnePlus 8 UW, because it has 128 GB more internal memory capacity. OnePlus 8 UW has just a bit longer battery duration than OnePlus 6T, because it has a 4300mAh battery capacity.
Although OnePlus 8 UW is a better device, it costs a lot more money than the OnePlus 6T, and it doesn't have such a good quality/price relation as OnePlus 6T. So if you want that extra specs, you can buy the OnePlus 8 UW, but if you don't you can save some dollars and buy the OnePlus 6T, resigning a couple specs and features.
