OnePlus 8 Pro

8 Pro is the most recent and the highest version of the OnePlus phones and a modest mid-term upgrade to the OnePlus 8 phone. Some of the key features that differentiates the OnePlus 8 Pro from the previous models include a faster DDR5 RAM, a 10-bit display that can support over a billion colours, 120 Hz refresh rate, wireless charging, IP68 certified water and dust resistance. The Pro variant also boasts an enhanced camera setup.

In this price range at around Rs. 55,000, OnePlus 8 Pro is undeniably the best phone, free of any compromises, available in the market at present. The biggest takeaway from this latest version is the IP certification for waterproofing, hitherto taken for granted, and wireless charging that makes the phone complete. The software on OnePlus is pretty remarkable as ever. The OnePlus 8 Pro is run on OxygenOS 10.5.10 powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 865, the benchmark for top-notch performance.
