OnePlus 8 Pro
When it comes to equipment, the OnePlus 8 Pro draws on everything. The focal point is the 6.8-inch OLED touchscreen with a resolution of 3,168 x 1,440 pixels (QHD +) and 120 Hz technology. The display extends almost over the entire front and is only interrupted by a small hole for the front camera. Qualcomm’s current top chip Snapdragon 865 with an additional 5G modem is used as the drive. The RAM is 8 or 12 GB. Customers can choose 128 or 256 GB for storage space. Unfortunately, there is no expansion option via microSD cards. Positive: The 4510 mAh battery can finally be charged wirelessly. And OnePlus has also eliminated the second point of criticism: The top smartphone now meets the IP68 standard. The camera equipment is also impressive. Specifically, the setup looks like this: 48 MP main camera (f / 1.78), 8 MP triple camera (f / 2.44), 48 MP ultra-wide-angle lens (f / 2.2) and 5 MP ToF sensor.
