The screen size reaches 6.55" inches. With a large display, phone offers a great experience for watching videos, playing games and reading. The best phones today are 6.5'' or more. They have the advantage of a large display area that allows you to see more content than with conventional display sizes. Owing to OLED technology, the display offers a true representation of colours, especially black. The resulting contrast is significantly higher and colours appear more vivid. OLED technology is now part of most smartphones, while LCD displays are becoming a thing of the past in mobile phones. OLED displays also have lower power consumption compared to LCD technology.
Display Resolution of OnePlus 8 256 GB is 2400 x 1080 pixels. A higher display resolution is a prerequisite for a sharper image. The standard for mid-range phones today is a Full HD resolution of 1920 × 1080 px. Cheaper phones, which usually have a smaller diagonal, have an HD resolution of 1280 × 720 px. Smaller resolutions can only be found in older models. Best phones, on the other hand, have a 4K resolution of 3840 x 2160 px. Another important factor having impact on the final image is display´s pixel density. In case of this model, the value reaches 402 ppi. With pixel density, the higher the value, the sharper the image will be. On average today, the image fineness value is around 350-400 ppi. This will guarantee a sufficiently fine and sharp image for normal use. However, the best phones on the market today are equipped with pixel density of 450 ppi or higher.

Graphics System (GPU) | Qualcomm ADRENO 650 |
OnePlus 8 256 GB is supplied with Qualcomm Snapdragon 865. The number of processor cores is 8. It is a number of cores that plays an important role in evaluating the performance of phone as it is responsible for computing operations. Smartphones already commonly have a core count of around 4 to 8. Multi-core processors can perform better and reduce the processing time of a request to a minimum, which is reflected in the responsiveness of the phone, e.g. in the speed of opening applications.
The processor also includes the graphics accelerator Qualcomm ADRENO 650.

Internal Memory Size (Storage Capacity) | 256 GB | Better than 98 % of phones rated. |
Memory Interface | UFS 3.0 |
One of the most important parameters for user´s decision is often internal memory capacity. The larger it is, the more apps, photos, movies and other files your phone can store. This phone has 256 GB storage. Best phones like this one have 256 GB to 1 TB of memory, which is already enough for even the most demanding geeks who use the phone to create videos, take high-resolution photos and play more demanding games. The downside is that with most phones, you'll have to pay extra for that kind of storage capacity. Nowadays, you can usually find one phone model on the market with several different memory sizes. This allows each user to choose what suits them best.
Size of the RAM memory tells us how powerful the phone is. OnePlus 8 256 GB is equipped with LPDDR4X SDRAM - 12 GB. Commonly today you will find phones with 6 to 8 GB of RAM. This means that the phone can easily handle normal operation and more demanding applications or games. Higher RAM of 12 GB can be found in best phones on market and are ideal especially for avid gamers. On the other hand, operating memory below 4 GB is more of an issue with lower-end phones and older models. However, even they will find their fans among less demanding users, who don´t want to spend much on buying new phone.

The rear camera of the phone OnePlus 8 256 GB has 3 lenses. Today's modern phones usually have several rear lenses. The most common are macro lens, telephoto lens and wide-angle lens. Each is used to capture the perfect photo - macro lens is designed for close-up photography, telephoto lens, often equipped with an optical zoom, is for photos of objects in distance, and wide-angle lens captures larger areas where you need a wider field of view. The resolution of main lens is 48 Megapixel. Nonetheless, resolution alone does not necessarily mean a good photo. Therefore, you should look at other parameters such as lens aperture or pixel size. Pixel size is typically around 0.8-1.8 μm in better mobile phones. The higher the value, the better the quality of the resulting photo should be. In the case of main lens, the pixel size reaches 0.8 μm.
The size of the phone's sensor is also among the parameters that affect quality of the photo. In case of OnePlus 8 256 GB, it is 1/1.4". Focus mainly on the value after the slash, where the higher it is, the better photo quality will be. Another important factor is the aperture, which in this case is F/1.75 and determines how much light passes through the sensor. Best phones have an aperture of up to F/1.5. But the most common lenses today are F/1.8 to F/2.2. In this case, the lower the number after the slash, the higher the photo quality. An undeniable advantage is the optical image stabilisation, which makes image significantly more stable without any loss in quality. Cheaper phone models are equipped with electronic stabilisation, which has a negative effect on the resulting image quality. Many people will also benefit from the facial recognition feature. In translation it means the camera can recognise face of person in the frame and automatically focus on it.
Second camera
The resolution reaches size of 2 Megapixel. Pixel size in this case is 1.75 μm. In addition, this lens also features lens aperture of F/2.4.
Third camera
Lens number three represents the Ultra wide-angle lens. The lens achieves a field of view of up to 116 degree(s). The resolution of third lens is then 16 Megapixel. The aperture reaches size of F/2.2.
Front camera
The front camera of phone OnePlus 8 256 GB has one lens. This number of lenses is standard on most smartphones nowadays. The lens is equipped with 16 Megapixel. However, do not forget there are other factors than resolution having impact on the final quality of front camera photos. The pixel size itself is 1 μm. The main front lens also achieves F/2.45.
BATTERY AND CHARGING OnePlus 8 256 GB |
---|
Battery Capacity (Battery Size) | 4300 mAh | Better than 88 % of phones rated. |
---|---|---|
Fast Charging Technology | Warp Charge 30 technology, Warp Charge 30T technology | Better than 86 % of phones rated. |
The battery size of OnePlus 8 256 GB is 4300 mAh. Nevertheless, battery capacity is not the only factor that affects the phone's battery life. For example - the size of the display, the performance of the processor, the use of data functions and, of course, the intensity of use of phone in general all have a significant impact on battery life. Standard for most smartphones today is a battery capacity of around 4500 to 5000 mAH. Phones with this battery size usually guarantee a phone life of at least 1 day. Older or cheaper smartphone models can then reach battery capacities typically around 2500 mAH and below. With this capacity, you may find that if you use your phone heavily, you may need to recharge your phone during the day. The fast charging function will also please many people. Owing to fast charging, phone charges up to several times faster, which you will appreciate, for example, on the go.
