OnePlus 8 UW Review

Score: 75.9 / 100

OnePlus 8 UW is a completely amazing Android cellphone released a few years ago, equipped with a very fast 2840 MHz Octa-Core CPU, an enormous 6.5" display, and 2 cameras, a 48 MP back facing camera and a 16 megapixels front side camera. But let's get into some more details.

The OnePlus 8 UW comes with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 SM8250 chip, including a high speed 2.84 gigahertz Octa-Core CPU with a big 8 GB RAM. A great aspect of this phone is its large 128 GB internal storage memory and though it doesn't come with an SD extension slot, it it is more than enough to store tons of applications, games, songs, pictures and videos without even thinking about how much memory is left.

OnePlus appears to have forgotten about weight optimization in this 6.35 oz phone. Regarding its construction, this phone is created with Glass (Corning Gorilla Glass 5) and Aluminum . OnePlus sells the OnePlus 8 UW in two different color options: onyx black and polar silver. This cellphone is just 0.31" thick, making its way into the thinnest devices podium. The OnePlus 8 UW is only 6.31 inches long, but it manages to hold a 6.5" screen.

This cellphone is equipped with two cameras, a 48 megapixels back facing camera and a 16 MP front facing camera. the OnePlus 8 UW's back facing camera has a 1.8 aperture so it can take sharp photos even in poorly lit environments. It can also capture videos in 4K 3840x2160 at 60 fps, and 1280x720 HD slow motion videos at 480 frames per second (16 times slower than reality). This camera also features time lapse video.

OnePlus equipped this phone with a great 6.5" display, and a resolution of 1080 x 2400 , providing this device with a perfect image quality.

This cellphone includes wi-fi connection (which can be provided to other devices around, acting as a mobile hotspot), 5G insanely fast data connection, LTE-A (4G) high speed internet connection and also HSPA+ connection type (a bit slower 4G network) and 3G fast connectivity, over HSDPA and HSUPA technologies. The OnePlus 8 UW works with a Nano SIM card for GSM carriers.

The OnePlus 8 UW also features a wide range of great characteristics as Fingerprint Identification, Face ID, Near Field Communication (NFC), Bluetooth (5.1 ) and GPS, and plenty of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope and Compass.

This phone comes with a 4300 mAh huge Li - Polymer non-replaceable battery that can keep this phone running for several hours and even reach the end of the day without charging it. An issue to take into consideration is that this cellphone's battery is not removable so you can't throw it away and buy a new one when it begins to get older, while with such a big battery you will probably buy a new phone before it becomes an issue.

The OnePlus 8 UW is priced 800 dollars, which is a really high price for comparing with similar phones. No matter if you want this cellphone to take plenty of photographs, want it to play tons of games, need it for work or are looking for a cellphone majorly for internet broswing and social networks, you will probably love this phone. If you buy this phone you will also receive SIM Tray Ejector, Warp Charge Power Adapter, Important Consumer Safety Information , Type-C Bullets Earphones, Screen Protector (pre-applied), Warp Charge Type-C Cable, Quick Reference Guide and Pre-Installed SIM Card.
