The OnePlus 8 Pro arrived in April 2020 as the company’s most ambitious flagship up to that point, pairing a Snapdragon 865 5G platform with a class-leading 120Hz Fluid AMOLED display and, for the first time on a OnePlus device, official IP68 water resistance and wireless charging. It marked the moment OnePlus stopped being a value-flagship outlier and started competing head-on with Samsung and the established premium tier.
Today the OnePlus 8 Pro reads as a mature, still-capable used flagship that can be found for around 310 EUR. With OxygenOS 13 on Android 13, a 4510 mAh battery, fast wired and wireless charging, and a versatile quad camera, it remains a sensible pick for anyone who wants high-refresh smoothness and 5G without paying current-flagship prices. This article breaks down what that hardware actually delivers in everyday use.

Is the OnePlus 8 Pro Still Worth Buying?
At roughly 310 EUR on the second-hand market, the OnePlus 8 Pro sits in an interesting value bracket. You are buying a 2020 flagship that, on paper, still matches or beats many new mid-range phones: a QHD+ 120Hz panel, a Snapdragon 865, UFS 3.0 storage, and IP68 certification. The trade-off is age — there are no further major Android updates beyond Android 13, and the battery in a used unit may have degraded. For buyers who prioritize screen quality and raw performance per euro, it remains a compelling deal; those who want long-term software support should look newer.
Design and Build Quality
The OnePlus 8 Pro uses Gorilla Glass 5 on both the front and back with an aluminum frame, and at 199 g with an 8.5 mm profile it feels substantial without being unwieldy. The curved-edge display and centered punch-hole front camera give it a clean, premium face. Crucially, this generation added official IP68 dust and water resistance — a feature OnePlus previously omitted to cut costs — which closed one of the last gaps between OnePlus and rivals like Samsung. The Glacial Green, Ultramarine Blue, and Onyx Black finishes all carry a polished, flagship feel.
Display: A Standout 120Hz QHD+ Panel
The 6.78-inch Fluid AMOLED display is the phone’s signature feature and arguably still its strongest asset. It combines a sharp 1440 x 3168 resolution (~513 ppi) with a 120Hz refresh rate, 1 billion colors, and HDR10+ support. The result is fluid scrolling, deep blacks, and excellent contrast, with a nominally infinite contrast ratio typical of AMOLED. Few phones near this price point pair full QHD+ sharpness with a 120Hz refresh rate, which is why the 8 Pro’s screen still holds up well against more recent mid-rangers.
Performance and Gaming
Powering the phone is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 5G built on a 7nm+ process, paired with up to 12GB of RAM and fast UFS 3.0 storage. Benchmark figures — around 573,000 on AnTuTu (v8) and 3,374 on GeekBench (v5.1) — confirm flagship-class throughput for 2020, and in practice the chip still handles demanding apps and most modern games smoothly, especially with the 120Hz display reducing perceived input lag. The Adreno 650 GPU remains capable, though sustained high-end gaming will show its age compared with current top-tier silicon.
Camera System
The rear setup is a quad arrangement led by a 48 MP wide sensor with OIS, joined by a 48 MP ultrawide, an 8 MP telephoto with 3x optical zoom and OIS, and a 5 MP color filter camera. It supports Laser AF, a dual-LED flash, and 4K video at up to 60fps with gyro-EIS stabilization. The pairing of two 48 MP sensors gave the 8 Pro genuinely strong daylight detail and a usable ultrawide, while OIS on both the main and telephoto lenses helps low-light and zoom shots. The 16 MP selfie camera covers everyday front-facing needs with 1080p video.
Battery Life and Charging
A 4510 mAh battery anchors the phone, rated for solid all-day endurance (an older endurance rating of 103h). Charging is where OnePlus shines: 30W wired Warp Charge reaches 50% in about 23 minutes, while 30W wireless charging hits 50% in roughly 30 minutes — wireless speeds that were exceptional in 2020 and still competitive. Reverse wireless charging at 3W adds convenience for topping up earbuds. For a used flagship, this charging flexibility is a meaningful day-to-day advantage.
Software, Connectivity, and Sound
The OnePlus 8 Pro launched on Android 10 and is upgradable to Android 13 with OxygenOS 13, an interface long praised for being fast, clean, and close to stock. Connectivity is comprehensive: 5G (SA/NSA), Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.1 with aptX HD, NFC, multi-band GPS, and USB Type-C 3.1. Stereo speakers deliver clear, balanced output (measured at a very good -23.5 LUFS), though there is no 3.5mm headphone jack and no microSD expansion, so you are locked to the built-in 128GB or 256GB storage.
Who Should Buy the OnePlus 8 Pro?
This phone makes the most sense for value-focused buyers who want a premium screen and 5G performance without paying new-flagship prices. Display enthusiasts, mobile gamers on a budget, and OxygenOS fans will appreciate what it offers. Buyers who need guaranteed multi-year software updates, expandable storage, or the very latest camera computational features should weigh a newer device instead. Always confirm exact 5G band support (EU, NA, IN, CN variants differ) for your region before purchasing.
Conclusion
The OnePlus 8 Pro remains a genuinely well-rounded former flagship: its 120Hz QHD+ AMOLED display, Snapdragon 865 performance, IP68 rating, and fast wired-and-wireless charging still feel premium years after launch. The main caveats are its capped software roadmap at Android 13, lack of storage expansion, and the usual battery-wear concerns of a used device. If you can find a well-maintained unit around 310 EUR and confirm the correct regional 5G bands, it is an easy recommendation for anyone who values screen quality and smooth performance over having the newest model — verify the specific variant against OnePlus’s official specifications before you buy.
