OnePlus 8 deals

The OnePlus 8 was the point where OnePlus stopped being the plucky value brand and started charging proper flagship money, and six years on that makes it an interesting second-hand and refurbished buy rather than a new one. It uses the same Snapdragon 865 as the OnePlus 8 Pro and every other 2020 Android flagship, so day-to-day speed still holds up well for messaging, browsing and streaming. The 6.55-inch AMOLED panel runs at 90Hz, which is the feature most people notice first, and OxygenOS remains one of the cleaner, faster Android skins of that era. The compromises are where it differs from the Pro: no wireless charging, no official IP68 rating on most units, and a weaker camera set built around a solid 48MP main sensor, a serviceable ultrawide and a 2MP macro lens that adds very little. Software support has ended, with Android 13 the final version, so this is a phone for someone who wants a capable, light, well-built handset and is relaxed about long-term updates.
