But you should also note that all smartphone manufacturers have become significantly more expensive with their high-end smartphones now. OnePlus has always said that its devices are waterproof, but now there is an official certification based on industry standards.

The OnePlus 8 Pro is rated for IP68, the average certification for flagship smartphones. The edges are slightly rougher at the top of the screen, but overall the smartphone feels premium and sits comfortably in our hands.įor the first time in its history, OnePlus has brought itself to IP certify a smartphone. The glass of the display is drawn far over the corners, but the transitions between it and the metal frame are precise and cannot be felt with our fingers. Whoever hopes for complete resistance against fingerprints will be left disappointed, though.

We received a Glacial Green version of the OnePlus 8 Pro from OnePlus to review, the matte finish of which we found to be very refined. The black version has a glossy finish though, whereas the blue and turquoise versions have a matte texture. If you like your smartphones more understated, then Onyx Black is the more classic colour of the three. Meanwhile, Ultramarine Blue is an intense blue. The company has offered bold colours for its latest flagship this time, with Glacial Green being a shimmering colour between turquoise and green. OnePlus covers the back of the OnePlus 8 Pro in glass, which it has surrounded with a metal frame.
