Straight from the video. Tap a timestamp to hear me say it.
“We've got the OnePlus 8 Pro, and this is a really good option.”
“the OnePlus 8 Pro in third place did only last 6 minutes longer”
“the oppo find x2 pro”
“this top-end 1+8 Pro is the equivalent of one thousand one hundred and twenty dollars here in the UK in India 785”
