Basically, "outside and nearby" is when you'll see those high speeds.
Something that wasn't mentioned: I believe if you use a case with this phone, you can't just buy one that fits the OnePlus 8. It has to be one that fits this exact model.

high frequency (eg: Verizon mmWave 5G network) = faster speed and shorter distance/range and signal can't penetrate obstacles
low/mid band frequency (eg. T-Mobile sub-6 5G network) = slower speed but farther distance/range and signal has no problem penetrating obstacles like walls, trees, buildings.
Think of your WiFi network, 2.4GHz and 5GHz. The 2.4GHz is slower but coverage is a lot better than 5GHz.

However if the Verizon mmWave network was transmitted at a higher power than sub 6, one could argue that it would penetrate walls and distance just as well as sub 6.
