Our Take
Both the OnePlus 8 Pro and Samsung are 5G enabled devices with the same processor worldwide but Samsung offers Exynos 990 in India. OnePlus offers better RAM and storage options whereas S20+ is available in a single variant. The last generation of OnePlus smartphones had a triple rear camera set up, which has now been upgraded to a quad-camera setup, OnePlus 8 Pro offers a better camera set up including the selfie camera. So if you were planning to buy a phone with all the high end features offered at a lesser price than you can go for the OnePlus device. Remember you would have to wait until the lockdown gets over and the smartphone is put on sale in India. The company is expected to reveal the pricing and availability of OnePlus 8 devices later this month.
