OnePlus has officially taken wraps off the new OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro. The new OnePlus 8 series is powered by the Snapdragon 865 5G and iteratively build upon last year's OnePlus 7 and OnePlus 7 Pro. The new phones are priced higher than ever and seem to herald a new beginning for the company that was popular as the brand that makes flagship-killers.

Stupid OnePlus owners! I said a long time ago that if they are stupid enough to pay higher & higher OnePlus prices nearing flagship prices, it will only encourage OnePlus to eventually charge full flagship prices to fleece them!

What idiotic suckers!

They stopped being flagship-killers ever since the 5 or 6 when they started paying for marketing and celebrity endorsements. The whole point of the company in the first place was to have a great phone without the regular retail channels, markups, and marketing. Thats been out the window for a few years now, and they are just any regular China based phone company.

Ignoring the price the whole pricing debate, did they have to gimp the 8 so much when compared to the pro!?

So you want a slightly smaller phone (that's still way to big)? No great cameras and nicer storage for you, cmon this is ridiculous!
