OnePlus 8 Pro: First 10 Things to Do!

With our OnePlus 8 Pro review out of the way and orders arriving, it's time to talk about how to get you setup and ready to dominate. The OnePlus 8 Pro features so many goodies that you'll want to make sure you know where to find it all.
In this video, we talk about the 120Hz QHD+ display, using the triple cameras, which home settings to tweak, all of sound settings and gestures, and which security settings to use (both face unlock and fingerprints).
Oh and by the way, this video and its tips apply to the OnePlus 8 as well.
Anyone loving their OnePlus 8 Pro yet?

Watching this on my OnePlus 8 pro I came from a OnePlus 3T when you use 120hz and then use another device you notice it it's even crazier when you change from 120hz to 60hz on the device itself it's so noticeable you'll never want to go lower bits no gimmick and the battery life is good even if you have your screen at the highest settings I'm getting 5 and Half hours with 15% left to spare and I played pubg fortnite watched bare KZbin downloaded big 7gib apps and surfed the web, Instagram and Snapchat don't be fooled it's very good has to be phone of the year for 2020

@H J the 120hz display is noticeably more fluid than iOS which really surprised me at first and the display is do bright and vibrant on comparison to the iPhone which frankly looks dated now. The IPhone is still a beast and it's preference at this point I'm preferring Oxygen OS and the OP8 PRO
