PROS
- Exceptional battery life (7000mAh cell offers two days of use for most users).
- Very fast wired charging (100W/120W) with available 50W wireless charging on Pro model.
- Extremely bright and sharp 2K AMOLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate.
- Premium build quality with IP68/IP69 water and dust resistance ratings.
CONS
- Performance throttling and overheating under heavy, sustained loads, such as during benchmark stress tests.
- No LTPO display (GT8 Pro uses LTPS), meaning lower power efficiency for the always-on display compared to competitors.
- Ultrawide and front-facing cameras lack autofocus, which impacts clarity in certain situations.
- USB 2.0 port is a significant cost-cutting measure, lacking modern data transfer speeds.
Ultimately, the GT8 series is a strong contender for users who prioritize a unique camera experience, excellent battery life, and a vibrant display for everyday use. For those focused purely on raw, sustained performance and a more polished software experience, competitors like the OnePlus 15 may be a safer choice.
