Traditionally, At the end of the year, Oneplus brings a new edition of its current top smartphone with a T name suffix. The Oneplus 8T scores above all with 65 – Watt fast charging and 120 – Hz display.

The T-models are traditionally new editions of the current top-of-the-range phones from Oneplus, which will be launched in the first half of the year. Even if some considered this to be too short a rhythm for a generation change, it has long since become commonplace. In fact, the T models were usually not about completely new smartphones, but rather something like a facelift. In 2020 is a lot different, including that: Oneplus is bringing an Oneplus 8T onto the market, but an Oneplus 8T Pro is missing and will probably not come either. The reason: The manufacturer considers the Oneplus 8 Pro (test report) to be too fresh and, compared to the competition, too good to justify a successor. Our answer to that: Right! But is the Oneplus 8T necessary then?

Design It is chic, the new Oneplus 8T. The back of our test model is made of a satined silver tone, the glass of the surface is slightly more handy, but remains overall slippery. Due to the rounded sides towards the long edges, the smartphone is very comfortable to hold, but the protruding camera unit is annoying when it is placed on a table. Since it was placed in the upper left corner, it tumbles when it is operated. The transition to the shiny metal frame is flowing, it has no disturbing edges. It’s different at the front.

But this is not due to the shape of the Oneplus 8T or the processing, but to the protective film applied to the display. It shows a bit of resistance when wiping over it and is sharp-edged at the edges. This can be easily remedied by removing the foil. Apart from that, the front looks fresh and modern. The punchhole notch in the upper left corner and the evenly narrow frame around the display contribute to this.

The workmanship is excellent. The transitions between materials are fluid and barely noticeable, the few hardware buttons including the selector switch for the bell mode are wobble-free and have a perfect pressure point and key travel. The Oneplus 8T is with its 160, 7 × 74 × 8.4 millimeters and 188 Gram has become slightly larger and heavier than its predecessor, but that is not noticeable. For a smartphone with these values, it feels downright light-footed. Unfortunately, like its predecessor, the new model is not waterproof – that is reserved for the Oneplus 8 Pro (test report).

Display With its top models, Oneplus continues to rely on OLED displays, which is also the case with the Oneplus 8T. 6, 55 The panel measures inches here and comes with a resolution of 2400 × 1080 pixels to the customer. This corresponds to an image sharpness of 402 pixels per inch. According to the manufacturer, the screen of the 8T has once again been significantly improved – what is marketing and what is really different, we cannot 100 – say a percentage. It is clear that the screen of the new Oneplus model is really good. Colors, contrasts and brightness with over 600 cd / m2 are excellent. In combination with the great viewing angle stability, there are no problems with readability even in direct sunlight.

Definitely new is the refresh rate of 120 Hertz, which means that 30 Hz is higher than its predecessor. The Oneplus 8T is now on a level with top models such as the significantly more expensive Samsung Galaxy S 20 Ultra (test report) and 8 Pro (test report) from own home. This generally benefits the fluid display of moving screen content and increases the sampling rate 240 Hz hand in hand. This should make the screen react more directly to inputs. The question of whether this is really necessary must be answered by interested parties for themselves. Because the predecessor is fast too and a difference in the test we were able to use 90 and 120 Hz do not matter.

Camera The Oneplus 8T has one more lens on paper than its predecessor Oneplus 8, namely a monochrome lens for better contrast and sharpness. In addition, the macro lens used again now offers 5 instead of 2 megapixels. The rest is the same: 48 – Megapixel sensor from Sony with optical image stabilizer, 16 – Megapixler for wide-angle shots. A telephoto lens is still missing; it is reserved for the Oneplus 8Pro (test report). In order to differentiate it from the Pro model, this is understandable from the manufacturer’s point of view, but we consider this to be a disadvantage for the end customer compared to the competition. Some of these come in significantly cheaper models with telephoto and wide-angle lenses.

Unfortunately, the camera of the Oneplus 8T lacks a telephoto lens The picture quality of the Oneplus 8T that doesn’t change anything, it’s just good. Although it does not quite come close to the Pro model, it impresses overall, especially in good light, with decent image sharpness, great image dynamics and predominantly natural colors. Image noise is then not a criterion. Only in low light does the image sharpness decrease faster than desirable and, depending on the situation, image noise comes to the fore. All in all, the lowlight capacity of the Onelus 8T is quite decent, but the Oneplus 8 Pro (review) is better here too. With the front camera, however, there is largely a tie.

A short word about the macro lens, of which we are not a fan in combination with the low number of pixels: The actual motif doesn’t look bad on the corresponding shots, unfortunately the actually pretty bokeh bothers with strong picture noise. A telelens would have been much better and more universally applicable.

Watch videos recorded with the Oneplus 8T really good. The image stabilization works even better than its predecessor and 4K recordings with 60 Images per second look really good. In the 4K-CINE – 60 FPS mode eats up a minute of recording but then also around 1 GB of memory! With today’s memory sizes, we prefer that to poor recording quality.

Furnishing As expected, the Oneplus 8T’s working speed is very high – no wonder, after all, there is cutting-edge technology in the stylish casing of the smartphone. This includes a Snapdragon 865 in combination with depending on the version 8 or 12 GByte RAM, added 128 or 256 GByte internal UFS 3.1 memory. It is not expandable, at least there is a dual SIM function. Looks familiar? Was it already in the Oneplus 8 without the T name addition, but why improve something that is already good? Even 5G is back, but a storage expansion would have been nice. There is now USB-C-3.1 for that. For everything else, it should be pointed out again at this point that the T models are more of a facelift than a new model – this is no different with the Oneplus 8T. The fingerprint sensor in the display works sufficiently quickly and precisely, the stereo loudspeaker is pleasantly powerful.

The operating speed is accordingly really high, there are simply no jerks or hooks. Thanks to the ample RAM, this also applies to intensive multitasking or many open browser tabs. In the PCmark Work benchmark, the 8T does not come as a surprise with around 11. 256 Points an almost identical result as the Oneplus 8 Pro (test report). For comparison: Particularly fast models with Snapdragon 741 + break through the 14. 00 0 brand, the middle class model Oneplus Nord (test report) comes to around 9000 Points. The original Oneplus 8 came to about 10. 600 Points.

One reason for the increase in speed could be Android 11 with which the new Oneplus 8T comes to customers, the Oneplus 8 Pro has also already received an update. As always, there is a slim OxygenOS interface that makes few, but targeted and good improvements to Vanilla Android. The security patch is from October 2400.

Battery pack The battery of the Oneplus 8T compared to its predecessor is 200 on 4500 mAh grown. Nevertheless, the loading speed has increased instead of with Warpcharge 30 loads the 8T as the first model with warp charge 65. In addition, the battery is divided and the charger supplies both halves with around 30 Watt. As a result, the entire battery is fully charged in just under 45 minutes! “Intermediate loading” becomes normal with the 8T, because in only 14 minutes the battery is half full again – that’s how fast it is currently no other smartphone. The Lenovo Legion Phone Duel already presented, but not yet available, should be thanks to 90 – Watt fast charging in only around 30 minutes to be fully charged – but required there are two USB-C cables to quickly fill the split-up battery with power. Nonetheless, the Oneplus 8T charges really quickly.

Does the manufacturer want to compensate for insufficient running times? Fortunately not. Because with around 8.5 hours in the PCmark Battery Test at 120 – Hz usage, the 8T delivers a really good endurance value, which is even above the value of the Oneplus 8 Pro (test report). There, the higher resolution presumably presses the result. When on 60 Hz reduced frame rate, the endurance should be a good 1 to 2 hours better with continuous use.

Price 599 Euro requires Oneplus for the new 8T in of memory configuration 8 / 128 GByte, which is available in green and silver. The version with 12 / 256 GByte is 100 Euro more expensive and only available in green. At the time of the test, the street price of the 8T was not yet significantly lower.

Conclusion To answer the question asked at the beginning directly: No, an update of the Oneplus 8 was not really necessary, but so far this has always been the case with the upgrades to the T models. There is no question that the new model is the better smartphone and anyone who is thinking about buying a new one can ignore the predecessor in terms of price. Because at least the smaller memory variant is not even 19 Euro more expensive than the predecessor, only with the large memory variant there are clear differences in favor of the older model. Then the choice is more difficult.

Overall, the Oneplus 8T does not have any real weaknesses. What bothers us most is the camera, or more precisely: the configuration with superfluous macro instead of telephoto lens. Then the 8T would have come suspiciously close to the Oneplus 8 Pro (test report), even if the Pro model still has a few aces like waterproofness and wireless charging – things that we miss with the new Oneplus 8T, by the way. Overall, the smartphone is pretty good, but has a lot of competition, including Xiaomi Mi 10 (test report), Realme X3 SuperZoom (test report) or the Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro ( Review).
