 So I know there are a ton of videos on the OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro out there, but this is the video you care about and I'm talking about gaming on the OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro. Hey guys, Thundee here from Board of Work and welcome to my gaming review on the OnePlus 8 and the OnePlus 8 Pro to find out which of the two is better for you as a mobile gamer. Now let's start off looking at the devices. The OnePlus 8 is a 6.55 inch device. It comes packed with a ton of cool features and comes in of course, variant colors. You've got the Glacial Green, which looks really nice and the Interstellar Glow, which is my favorite. Reminds me of the Aura from Samsung with the Galaxy Note last year and it's got a nice little pink hue to it. Now in terms of specs, which is what we care about is this comes with the Snapdragon 865 processor. It's a 5G device. Also comes with either 8 or 12 gigs of RAM and you also have storage up to 256. Now that is UFS 3.0 storage. So there's a lot packed into there. Now in terms of battery, you're looking at a 4,300 milliamp battery. So that's a nice boost, especially if you're gonna be gaming for a while. But to top it off, you've got the WAP 30T charger which gives you fast charging on this device. Now stay tuned for our charging test that's gonna be coming up and we'll show you how fast this device actually charges. Now the OnePlus 8 Pro comes in three different colors. We've got the Onyx Black, we've got the Glacial Green and we've got that Ultramarine Blue. Really nice color. Now, as I mentioned with this device, it comes at a 6.7 inch size. It also is powered by the Snapdragon 865 processor. Another 5G device. So both of them are 5G. So you've got that there. Storage is of course 8, sorry, storage is 120 and 256 UFS. 3.0 plus is what OnePlus is calling it. They've got a system to make it a little bit faster. And of course your RAM is eight or 12 gigabytes. Now this device has a 4510 mAh battery and of course you have support for the WAP 30T charger. But there's also the WAP 30 wireless charging built into the device, which is actually interesting and reverse wireless charging as well. So a little bit more features you would expect from a more premium device. But we don't care about that, right? We also know that both of them have some really nice camera arrays. The OnePlus 8 has a 48 megapixel camera, while the OnePlus 8 Pro has a 240 megapixel camera, a better ultra-wide, all that fun stuff. Ba-da-da-da. What about that side? Gaming. Gaming is what we care about. Now there's a game mode on this device which you heard, which we've known. Very simple, basic, nothing too extra. But what we care about is how the games function and this is where you have some added features. The OnePlus 8 has a 90Hz display similar to last year's OnePlus 7. Actually, design-wise, they all look kind of similar to last year's device anyway. But as I mentioned, a 90Hz display. This display is, of course, a 1080p display, but it's much brighter, up to a thousand nits. And unlike last year, you can see this better in daylight and also when you're playing, it looks really, really good. And you can play at 90Hz at, of course, that resolution. The OnePlus 8 Pro takes a step further at 120Hz and displays a 2K display. And its maximum nit brightness is 1300. Plus, you can also play at 2K and 120Hz. So there are no limitations to your gaming experience packing with that 4510 mAh battery you have in there. Plus, you also have, of course, just the overall performance packing together. So how well do our games perform? We're checking out, of course, PUBG Mobile and Call of Duty Mobile Fortnite. Nah, sorry guys, I didn't play. I'm playing on Call of Duty right now. But anyway, those games, at least PUBG, will give you an indication of performance because we're gonna put it on the max settings to see how well it performs. So we're gonna do some gameplay and also we'll see if we can get any games to play at that, you know, higher frame rate, 90 frames per second or 120 frames per second because we have displays that can support that. So let's take a quick look. Okay, so gameplay is really good. You can see there were no slowdowns. It ran really smooth. And performance was really solid plus the audio. Now, I forgot to mention, both of them have stereo speakers and Dolby Atmos. So you're getting some really crisp and clear sharp audio on your device. That is actually pretty good. But you're thinking, Thundie, what about temperatures? Well, temps is where the OnePlus actually failed for me. Both of them. The OnePlus 8 Pro comes in at 100 degrees Fahrenheit while we're gaming. That is just way too hot. And the OnePlus 8 came in about 97, 98 degrees. Sometimes it almost picked up at 99. So again, that is quite hot, which is why I would recommend the Fly Digi Wasp Wing. I use this device to cool it. This is not sponsored anything. This is something I use. And I'll have a full video of this on my gaming channel for you guys to check out. But it really helped in cooling my OnePlus devices. It dropped it down by 10 degrees from that 100 to about 90 degrees, which is way more acceptable. I like it because it's got the LED lights behind and you can also increase the speed of those fans. So definitely worth picking up. It's only 19 bucks. Check out the link down below. But the fact that I have to use something like that to cool my device is not cool. That's something I think OnePlus needs to take into consideration when you're building the next OnePlus device or the T-Virin because cooling is really essential, especially the kind of performance they pack into this device. I mean, when you use it, cooling is really fast. The display is really smooth. You get all the performance you need, I would like it to stay cooler. Now, one thing that irked me is the fact that I couldn't find any games that ran at 120 frames per second or 90 frames per second on either of these devices, even though they had tons of games that ran on devices last year. This is an Android issue because none of these games are updated to support the display, as well as also the brand new processor. So hopefully that changes. I was able to find a few for the Galaxy and one for the Oppo and surprisingly for the OnePlus, none so far. I'm sure they are games that will support it, but it's just something that is really annoying. The cameras are solid. Both of them are really, really good and the OnePlus 8 Pro camera has a better distinction with the 240 megapixel sensors, the ultra-wide lens and a better front-facing camera, which you will see in our comparison video against the S20 Ultra and the other top tier phones with their cameras. Now, overall, you're probably asking which is the best device for me to pick? I would say when you look at everything together and how the specs are really similar between the OnePlus 8 and the OnePlus 8 Pro, when it comes to performance, I would have to go with the OnePlus 8. For me, the OnePlus 8 gives you the same gaming performance as the OnePlus 8 Pro. Yes, you know, using a 120Hz display, using 90Hz display, but your performance is still overall generally the same and of course your battery drain is a little bit less than you have from 120Hz display at 2K resolution. If you're looking at gaming and looking to game at the max, then the OnePlus 8 is probably better for you and also pricing-wise, that's where the differentiation continues. Now, the pricing for both is the OnePlus 8 starts at 699 and goes up to 799. That's looking at the 8GB 128 at 699 and 12GB 256 at 799, which of course is that interstellar glow. While the OnePlus 8 Pro starts at 899 and goes up to 999 and of course the 999 variant is the Ultramarine Blue, which I have, which is the 12GB 256. So there you go, guys. Those are both devices. My pick as a gamer is the OnePlus 8 cheaper, more effective. Now you can pick up both devices on 429 this month. They'll be available at OnePlus.com, Amazon and the OnePlus 8 will also be available on Verizon. Thank you very much, guys. Hopefully you enjoyed this video.
