<p>With the recently launched OnePlus 8, the first noticeable aspect is how comfortable it feels to hold in the hand.</p>.<p>Though the OnePlus 8 has a 6.55-inch display, the comfort can largely be attributed to the 8 mm thick body of the company’s latest release. The previous series’ last release – the OnePlus 7T Pro – is 8.8 mm thick and the reduction in thickness has made a lot of difference. Of course, it gets a bit thicker with the supplied clear case.</p>.<p>The OnePlus 8 also gets the Gorilla Glass 5, but the back of the handset feels very grippy without the protective case on. With the OnePlus 7 Series, the glass back felt a tad slippery and a protective case was a must. The OnePlus 8’s rear glass panel does not appear to be a fingerprint magnet in the limited time we have had the set with us. The rear panel feels great without the case. But safety is paramount when owing a premium set, just in case it pops out of the hand.</p>.<p>However, compared purely in terms of looks, the slightly curved Haze Blue back of the 7T Pro appears more premium than the Onyx Black of the OnePlus 8.</p>.<p>The second aspect of the OnePlus 8 is how light it feels, again as compared to the OnePlus 7T Pro. The OnePlus 8 weighs in at 180 grams, while the 7T Pro is 206 grams.</p>.<p>The 6.55-inch fluid AMOLED display has the selfie camera on the top left with the earpiece in the traditional place at the top edge. On the right – on the aluminium frame – is the ring/ vibrate/ silent mode switch as well as the power button. On the left side is the volume up/ down rocker. The bottom houses the SIM tray, microphone, speakers and the USB Type-C port. The rear has the three-lens camera setup with the LED flash. The top has just a microphone.</p>.<p>Overall, the first impressions of the phone are good in our view. We will have the full review of the phone soon.</p>.<p>The OnePlus 8 has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 chipset, including a X55 5G modem chipset. </p>.<p>The OnePlus 8 is priced at Rs 41,999 (6 + 128 GB), Rs 44,999 (8 + 128 GB) and Rs 49,999 (12 + 256 GB).</p>
