Hi,
Shortlisted this mobile due to recent price cut. How's the general smoothness & battery life? Any other issues?
Thanks

Its a good option for the price. You can run pubg mobile on balaced details and ultra frame rate. Really good camera due to the IMX516 sensor and excellent when paired with the Gcam port for realme 3 pro. Battery life is excellent with about 7 hours of continuous heavy gaming. Used to get heated up during long time gaming sessions (over 2 hours of continuous gameplay).

Do we need to root it for Gcam? Heating after continuous gameplay that you mentioned will also hold true for less graphic intensive games?
Thanks for your response !

You need not root the device as you get level 2 support for camera2api out of the box. And the heating issue is only for graphic intensive games like pubg mobile, ashpalt 9 legends etc

Can you get level 3 or full Camera2api support with root?

You could do that but for my usage I didn't need to use the level 3 support. The above mentioned Gcam apk allows us to use the nightscape mode along with the regular mode and portrait mode. Files can be saved in HDR+ along with RAW file formats.

Playing Candy Crush for 22 hours straight can take its toll on your battery (and your marriage). Rate this thread to express how the Honor 8 Pro's battery performs under heavy use. A higher rating indicates that it lasts a long time even when playing games, streaming video and audio, and doing other CPU-intensive activities.

Not very impressive. When I'm playing games like Pokemon Go, the use isn't any different from other phones. While the phone have 4k battery, the advantage isn't that clear cut.
I have a different view, when I've been playing say Hearthstone for 3 hours, I don't see any heavy drain of the battery, the drain is similar to normal web browsing.
Our differences could easily be tributed to signal strength.
For me the heavy usage endurance was not that good! Even with normal usage that includes mail, WhatsApp, some browsing, and calls for like 2 hours, I could only get 6 hours of usage! Thereafter I had to charge! And this was quite continuous usage.

With a 5.7 inch 2k screen, that's quite good. I feel so.

Good Endurance for me
I have been testing it with multiple games, running benchmarks , watching videos and making calls etc.. The drain is very minimal compared to other phones I used. The battery lasts more than a day under normal usage. My normal usage includes watching youtube videos, few hours of gaming and whatsapp/facebook . So I think for a phone with big 2k display, its doing a wonderful job!

i guess i need to clarify my post/ feedback. for me... it's nothing special impressive. not to say it's bad, but just that it's performing like it should with other phones. it's not draining battery but i'm also not seeing extra endurance on this phone even though it packs a 4K battery.
i guess it's partly to do with the 2K screen.
and yes, if i'm not going on sth resource intensive like PoGo, the phone can actually last me the day.
Dissapointing
Below average ,even my old RN3's battery out wins it ,same game ,similar handling ,of course there is an QHD resolution factor ,but Honor 8 pro's battery ,one word ,inferior

The 2k screen has its effect on battery. It's not inferior per se but it's also not brilliant. It's so so.
I am expecting the future updates to improve the battery performance.

That's completely manageable. I myself got 8 hrs and 30 mins of SOT.
If you use this phone without a break, it can easily achiever 10 hrs of SOT.

Well i don't really play candy crush, but i do like playing games over ppsspp, along with some critical ops, into the dead 2, etc. And I'm almost always using facebook or instagram or chrome. Even today, I've been continuously gaming. I'm at 28% and SOT is over 7 hours.
Even when I'm not continuously playing games, i still get a full day with heavy use.

I need to get my device replaced then.I confirmed fee users and they said they are getting 3-4 hrs
Is it possible or just a joke for this year ? Mine lost only for 3.5 hours
Since people are not satisfied if they don't see proof, here two screenshots.
Regards ?
I have been easily getting 6-7 hours of SOT with heavy usage and 8 hours of SOT with moderate usage. can easily go for two days with low usage. the endurance is absolutely fantastic. that too for measly 3080mah. screenshot:

Certainly. Btw, the November patch improved battery life. Day before yesterday i had 9h of sot with 25% still left. But yeah, use wasn't that heavy but still above moderate. I usually play critical ops and some ppsspp games.
hey guys can you check what lcd screen you have because lots of people have great battery and others have terrible and i think the different lcd panels might be to bame

Gearbest on 8 September, received 28 october.

Now is difficult reach 6.30 in 2 days
I don't play games, just lots of web surfing and other app usage, and I usually have 4-5 hrs SOT while using about 50% battery. This is with the Nov update. LTE data always enabled.
I watch a lot of YouTube videos and surf a lot. Everyday 9-10hrs screen on time (that is if I wait till battery depletes to 0). Battery life is phenomenal.
I can't reach more than 4 hours... maybe you guys only use it for reading ebooks? XD
battery life depends on screen brightness also.
there are many things which can effect battery life like,
no. of apps installed, screen brightness, wifi scanning always available ON/OFF etc.
i have one A1 (rose gold) which is used by my wife, is made in india. and she is getting good battery backup.
i am going to recieve mine (black) on this sunday, will compare both after that and post here.
(comparing both will be a good idea as rose gold is made in india and black should be made in china)

In my experience ppsspp games are quite demanding so it´s great to hear that A1 handles it well. I am going to pick it up for christmas so I am very excited.
thankfully, I don't play games on my phone(s)

It heats up for me only in Lineage 2 when you set all at very high. NF YT no problems 4k HDR 60 fps smooth as butter... at least for now (3 weeks in)
For me.. Never heats

Lineage 2 revolution and it isn't burning? Play the game 1st and you'll get extreamly hot in upper right corner. Only in this game happens, all others worked fine and I've tested all demanding ones
Some phones are great to take camping because if you play Asphalt 8 long enough, the back warms up to the ideal temperature that can bake bread. Rate this thread to express the extent to which the OnePlus 8 Pro stays cool under extended heavy use. A higher rating indicates that even when playing strenuous games for long periods of time, the phone doesn't get uncomfortably warm.

No complaints really here but noticed it running warmer than my Exynos Notebultra 20. By a Celsius under my regular usage patterns.
Here's my GSAM temp charts.
We've recently entered Spring here in Australia. Using the phone outdoors on the weekend in 34 degree temperature and full sun, my phone would overheat and prompt me to shut down services after about 5 minutes of casual use (web browsing and background services only). I removed the genuine cover which helped a little, but still frequently overheating. This phone is useless if it can't be used outside...
According to the Health and Safety guide accessible within the phone itself.

Yeah, I've got same issues. Left couple of times in UTE and every single time it switched off due to high temperature. I did not have issues with another brands. Top dollar useless phone.
When I experienced the temperature issue I was running OB2. I'm now running the stable build, and it seems a little better (though I need to do more testing). What version of the OS are you running?

Hi,
Thanks for replay. I am on latest Android 11 (Oxygen OS 11.0.1.1.IN11BA) and for me there is no any improvements. For me it is frustrating because I need often use it as hotspot.

Gonna have to chime in on this one. Coming from the 7 pro I was expecting better.
Have had some quirks with this phone still working on one being it likes to not wake the screen up now and then right away. Annoying but the only real gripe is that when I record a video... Jesus that overheats it.
4k @30fps screen brightness half, 120hz, qhd. Overheats around 930 to 11 on the dot.
Brightness down does nothing
60hz and fhd allows me to keep recording after it overheated (meaning it will stay under the line of what's the redline for overheating with the screen turned down even if I just bounced the flash off)
For kickers I threw it into 1080 p mode @30 and she **** flash down around 5!!!!!
Honestly the main gripe I have with this thing is the overheat issue when recording and the camera on the 7pro beats the 8 pro

After update fastboot using rom eu 13.0.6.0, I always get game relog
So example, when I open mobile legend, and then opening whatsapp or facebook, then when I go back to my mobile legend, it relog to loading page again. Very frustating
i do have overheating issues.
After a game like diablo immortal - phone keeps reducing screen hz due to overheating, after a time its ok.
