Wireless charging and water resistant, preferable only to the "pro" model
For years, many had complained about the OnePlus decision do not install Qi wireless charging support on their phones despite the constant price increase that has been happening in the product catalog over time. Now finally OnePlus has decided to integrate this feature in its leading model.
Therefore, OnePlus 8 Pro becomes the brand's first mobile phone with wireless charging. And not just any. Because of technology Warp Charger Wireless 30, we get one of the newest charging technologies we've ever seen with a smart phone, capable of recharging a device's battery in about half an hour.
OnePlus 8, on the other hand, saves the Warp charging 30T cables, with a maximum supported power of 30W, but lost compatibility with wireless charging with no expensive model.
Another thing is going down the road IP68 Certificate. That, however, it does not mean that the OnePlus 8 has no water resistance. In fact, it's very possible that both devices are built in the same way, although OnePlus could only decide to pay for this certificate with its "Pro" model. Just as curious, it's worth noting that other variants of the OnePlus 8 must have this certificate.
Promotional shows for everyone
Both OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro had them display is based on Fluid AMOLED technology introduced by the brand for the first time last year alongside the OnePlus 7 Pro, with its name pointing to higher refresh rates. However, there are important differences between the two panels.
Starting with the OnePlus 8, we get a show at a 90 Hz refresh rate and a Full HD + resolution which produces a quantity of 403 pixels per inch. In addition, it is protected by glass bent slightly on both sides. Its diagonal 6.55 inch.
However It's the OnePlus 8 Pro that gets the best part. Your panel 6.78 inch, increases its refresh rate 120 Hz and the decision up Quad HD + exceeding the barrier of 500 inch pixels each. One of its advantages is the inclusion of the "HDR Boost" mode, which enhances color and contrast when consuming video content to use all the power of the panel. As a risk, say that on-screen curve they are even more pronounced, so that accidental touch and color transfer are somehow mentioned in this version.
Minor technical changes and the huge benefit of the "standard" model
In technical terms, the difference between the two models is less obvious. Two edges have it Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 platform, and there are versions with 128 and 256 GB of internal storage in each case. We also have 8 or 12 GB of RAM, either only OnePlus 8 Pro has RAM based on LPDDR5 technology, on paper it is more efficient and faster than the LPDDR4x technology that promotes OnePlus 8.
Yes, the independence changes are even more impressive. Although the OnePlus 8 Pro exceeds its younger brother on average about 200 mAh, in our test we were able to see that the independence of OnePlus 8 is better than that of OnePlus 8 Pro, to the point of being one of the most powerful of this model. Of course, such a difference is due low resolution and refresh rate of panel, but it must be considered.
The emergence of images, in the most expensive model only
It's probably the most important factor that makes OnePlus 8 Pro a model that can compete with the major players in the telecommunications league its photographic class. Its advanced system is under construction the four senses, being the first of them for the new Sony IMX689 48 megapixel resolution, which is already able to test on the OPPO Find X2 Pro.
In the case of OnePlus 8, the main sensor is the same 48-megapixel Sony IMX586 that kind of product has been used in the past year, and surprisingly, 8 Pro's are using it as well Ultra wide camera obtaining the highest quality firearm.
There is also a change regarding "telephoto". Mainly, because OnePlus 8 Pro has one – at 3x zoom – and OnePlus 8 doesn't. Instead, OnePlus incorporated a 2-megapixel "macro" lens into a cheaper model.
In addition, OnePlus 8 Pro has an additional camera that, to tell the truth, does not add much value to the photographic experience. A "color filter camera", among other things, allows capturing images with a "photochromic" effect.
