Voters in last week’s poll were not easy for the new OnePlus duo: the two phones were left in the shadow of the 7T generation.
However, many in the comments pointed out that OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro are actually the successors to the 7 and 7 Pro rather than the T series. And that makes some sense and puts the phones in a better perspective, but is it really the OnePlus fan base what kind of update every year?
There is certainly a group of people who get a new OnePlus every year, but it looks like they will be waiting for the OnePlus 8T series. Certainly, they should wait at least until the reviews come out, which is what many voters say they will do.
Only 19% of the votes were in favor of the OnePlus 8 Pro, while 30% of voters are on the fence. Most people seem to be happy with the 7T Pro, which is quite capable and cheaper to boot. Another thing to consider is the size: the 8 Pro is taller but narrower and lighter than the 7T Pro. Its size seems to have bothered only 12% of voters anyway.
The OnePlus 8 took a beating: Half of voters say they prefer the 7T, it turns out that the S865 chipset with 5G connectivity and the slightly larger battery aren’t worth the loss of the telephoto camera and the much higher price. 1 in 5 people say they will wait for 8T (OnePlus 7 didn’t get much love last year either, 7T came out a few months later and was much better).
The OnePlus 8 Pro can still change things, it all depends on getting good reviews. If it shows that it’s clearly better than the 7T Pro, there are plenty of people willing to give it a try.
