Although, it was impressive that the soft metal cover on the rear held up quite well, being wear resistant. The OnePlus 8 Pro was also subjected to a burn test that had the device survive again, but with a small white spot where it was directly subjected to the high temperatures. Notably, this also marks the first time an OnePlus device has been rated IP68 for water and dust resistance officially.
The final hurdle the premium grade flagship had to pass was the bend test, which it survived once again. For a high price tag starting from 899 US Dollars for the OnePlus 8 Pro, decent build quality and endurance is to be expected.
