OnePlus 8 Finally Available for Pre-Order in Nepal, Priced at Rs. 93,000

OnePlus 8 Pro was launched in Nepal a few weeks ago. However, OnePlus 8 was not available at the time. But now, Oliz Store is accepting pre-orders for the OnePlus 8 in Nepal.

OnePlus 8 Price in Nepal is Rs. 93,000 for the 12GB RAM and 256GB storage variant. For now, Glacial Green is the only available color.

OnePlus 8 is the lite variant of the OnePlus 8 Pro. OnePlus 8 Pro is a full-on flagship whereas the OnePlus 8 is a minor upgrade over the OnePlus 7 series.

So what’s the difference between OnePlus 8 Pro and OnePlus 8? Let’s see!

OnePlus 8 Overview

Design

OnePlus 8 is very similar to the OnePlus 8 Pro. The rear panel is made of glass with satin finish and it’s protected by Gorilla Glass 5. There’s a triple-camera setup on the rear and on the front, there’s a hole-punch and an under-display optical fingerprint sensor.

The glass back is curved along the edges where it meets the body-colored aluminum frame. The difference between OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro is the camera setup and the IP68 certification. OnePlus 8 doesn’t have IP68 water and dust resistance like the 8 Pro.

Display

Unlike OnePlus 8 Pro’s 120Hz refresh rate display, OnePlus 8 only has a 90Hz display. It also has a smaller 6.55 inches FHD Fluid AMOLED display compared to OnePlus 8 Pro’s 6.78 inches QHD display panel. The screen is protected by Gorilla Glass 5 as well.

OnePlus 8 also misses out on MEMC (Motion Estimation and Motion Compensation Technology) which is available on the 8 Pro.

The bezels are quite thin and similar to that of the OnePlus 8 Pro. On top of that, it also supports HDR10+ so you can easily watch HDR content on the OnePlus 8 too.

Hardware

OnePlus 8 uses the same chipset as the OnePlus 8 Pro; the Snapdragon 865 chipset. It’s a 7nm chipset with Octa-core (1×2.84 GHz Kryo 585 & 3×2.42 GHz Kryo 585 & 4×1.8 GHz Kryo 585) chipset and Adreno 650 GPU. Furthermore, it also supports 5G ready.

Then it comes with 256GB UFS 3.0 storage and 12GB RAM.

OnePlus 8 Pro is one of the fastest phones out there. Though it is not rocking the latest 865+ chipset, there’s not much difference among the Snapdragon 865 and the 865+.

Camera

Now, this is where OnePlus 8 is far behind its Pro variant. OnePlus 8 rocks a 48MP main camera which is used on the OnePlus 7 Pro.

Then it has a 16MP Ultrawide sensor with 116-degree FOV and a 2MP Macro sensor.

The main sensor is the Sony IMX 586 sensor which was used in last year’s OnePlus 7 Pro. Meanwhile, the OnePlus 8 Pro gets a new 48MP Sony IMX 689 sensor, then a 48MP Ultrawide angle camera (IMX 586 sensor), an 8MP Telephoto lens, and a 5MP color filter sensor.

On the front, it has a 16MP sensor for selfies. It’s the same sensor as the OnePlus 8 Pro.

Battery

Underneath, OnePlus 8 has 4300 mAh battery which should last for more than a day even with a 90Hz refresh rate. Then, to juice up its battery, it comes with 30W Fast Charging which claims 50% charge in 23 min. But it doesn’t have 30W wireless charging which is available on the OnePlus 8 Pro.

Then, it runs on Oxygen OS 10 on top of Android 10. It should be getting the Oxygen OS 11 update very soon.

OnePlus 8 is a cheaper flagship from the OnePlus for 2020. It uses the same chipset as the OnePlus 8 Pro. So, it will have a similar performance to the OnePlus 8 Pro.

However, OnePlus 8 Pro has a better camera setup with a new main sensor, a telephoto lens, an ultrawide lens, and a color filter. And, OnePlus 8 Pro has a better display as well.

Then, OnePlus 8 Pro comes with 30W wireless charging too. Currently, OnePlus 8 Pro is available for Rs. 110,000 (8/128) and Rs. 125,000 (12/256). So, the price difference is Rs. 32,000 for the same storage variant. So, I think it’s better to go for the 128GB variant of the OnePlus 8 Pro rather than the OnePlus 8.

The upgraded display and better camera are definitely worth it. Or, you could go for the Mi10 if you don’t mind the MIUI.

What do you think of the OnePlus 8 price in Nepal? Is it good enough?
