   I bought this ipad initially to use when travelling as i spend weekends at a different location to my home. However it soon became clear that this device was becoming my go to Ipad all the time. I also have a 10th generation standard sized ipad. When i look at youtube reviews of this product there are quite a few critical reviews that talk about the lack of a 120Hz refresh rate and that the screen is only 500 nits. However if like me you use your device for web browsing, watching youtube and Prime or netflix this device is superb. It has a fast processor in it the A17 chip, however unless you think you are going to try and multitask with photo and video editing or want to play the latest graphic hungry games, you really dont need to worry. The battery life lasts all day and beyond, as someone who is retired i always charge overnight irrespective of how much charge is left when i go to bed. It’s then setup for whatever the next day brings. I also use the apple pencil pro on my device, im a user of goodnotes and this works great with the ipad mini… 15 people found this helpful

   January 2025 Great update from the previous iPad mini. Had been using the larger basic iPad. This is much lighter and easier to hold. Vibrant screen, no lag, works well for browsing; great for when I use it with Zwift for indoor cycling or running. Highly recommended.

   The (Gadget Tree) purchase experience wasn’t perfect, and the Covid pandemic means that third party cases are thinner on the ground than I’d hope, but this is a review of the phone itself. In effect, this phone is the highest spec computer I have ever bought myself, and while I did baulk at the price, I have had three one plus phones in the past five years, only one of which is not (due to an insurance write off, they kept the smashed handset) still in daily use by somebody, so I am confident it will last. Speed I bought this after using the oneplus 6 daily for two years, and the speed of the 8 Pro is staggering as an upgrade on a phone that to be honest I never thought of as being slow – I only bought this now because 5g is rolling out in Dundee and any speed complaints I had with the OP6 were network related – the old phone does, however, feel much less slick now that I have used the new one. I’m expecting to use this phone heavily for three years, and thereafter it will be passed on to a family member, so felt the top spec model was worth the investment – it should be running things comfortably for years. Display My previous oneplus 6 had what I thought of as an exceptionally good screen, but the 90/120hz refresh rate on the 8 Pro and the higher resolution make it seem so rough in comparison – games and videos have a slickness that makes them seem so much more real, and the hit on battery life has been much less than I feared. Camera The camera has been excellent so far, although I am not one to poke about in the settings for that, so I’m just saying that the out the box settings are excellent – it can, I am sure do much more than I could ever ask of it in that regard. Battery and charging Charging speed on my previous Oneplus 6 was incredibly fast anyway, and the battery life still excellent two years on. This phone charges even faster, and even with the highest battery drain screen resolution and refresh (using automatic brightness level), playing about with my new phone even more than I normally would, I’m getting 6 hours plus before having to top up the charge. Replacement/spare warp 30 chargers for the newer generation of phones are hugely expensive, but time phone still takes an almost as fast charge from the older generation of oneplus dash chargers, so I will wait till I leave another of them on a train before buying an extra warp charger or the wireless charging Dock! Software I love the less-is-more approach tha oneplus take to their phone software – you can add on any bells and whistles you desire from the play store, but out the box you have a clean, light, fast version of android that runs so smoothly you will wonder why the competition do things any other way. Grumbles There are a couple of wee niggles, not enough to knock a star off, but worth noting. I would have appreciated the option of a flat glass screen with the top end specs rather than the curved edges – I’m not having problems with touches at the edge where I’m holding it at all, but I don’t find the curved edges to add anything functionally and they make getting a good glass screen protector harder. I knowingly bought a phone with a curved screen because I wanted all the specs otherwise, so I refuse to mark it down in a purchase review unless it causes actual problems – just for those that would likewise rather not have the curved screen, be aware that it will take more than 4 days of use to forget that it is there! On a related note, in my case I had to apply my own film screen protector to the phone on unboxing – there were two in my box, but it is a pest to get all the bubbles out, so I dread the day I have to replace the one I have put on now! Previous OP phones have all had them pre-applied, and it may be that mine was omitted by accident, but as Covid is delaying third party options the protection available as standard becomes even more important. Again following on, the included silicone case is OK, and has weathered a couple of waist height drops already but I prefer something tougher feeling and less prone to bending away from the phone to let stuff in – clear silicone lets everyone see the lovely colour of your phone, but also, after just 4 days, lets everyone see just how much fluff there is in your pocket! Overall, this is an amazing phone, at a price markedly lower than its direct competition. There are reports of some display issues using the screen at hi res/refresh but low brightness setting – I haven’t experienced them, and apparently a software fix is coming for those that have. If you have saved up the pennies and can tolerate curved screens, this is an astounding piece of kit. 51 people found this helpful

   Thanks to Gadget Tree’s General Manager who in the end saved my work after DJI had let me down twice. After 2 of DJI’s gimbals died in my hands in a short period, I realized that their product was not safe at all for professionals to use. I ordered DJI items from Gadget Tree and wanted to speed up the refund process when they sadly died so I picked the credit option. After realizing that it is super risky to use DJI I wanted to pick something from an alternative company. Whatever happened, the General manager sorted out the issue I was dealing with and in the end, everything was sorted in the way I was happy to place a new order for this item. Thank you, Gadget Tree. You have amazing customer service. truly recommend Gadget Tree to everyone now. Thanks again to the General manager. One person found this helpful
