ONEPLUS 8 and ONEPLUS 8 PRO Review

ONEPLUS 8.  and ONEPLUS 8 PRO.  Review,

                 LEAKS and SPECIFICATION

OnePlus has reportedly scheduled an event for mid-April to reveal its new flagship models - the OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro. It will be held online event due to the COVID-19 outbreak, which also caused delays in development (the company originally planned a mid-March reveal, according to insider info).

It seems that the OnePlus 8 lite was hit the hardest. This is the company's first phone to use a non-Snapdragon chipset (instead it will have a MediaTek Dimensity chip) and is set to cost £400 at launch - a launch that may have been delayed by several months.

The situation with the two premium models isn't exactly clear either. They will be announced a month from now, but when they will be available to consumers is unknown (it depends on how quickly OnePlus' manufacturing base in China recovers).

We know they will use Snapdragon 865 chipsets, feature 120Hz screens and new triple camera, maybe even wireless charging (a feature OnePlus has avoided for years).

OnePlus CEO and co-founder, Pete Lau, talked about the future OnePlus 8-series in a recent interview and although he didn't confirm the actual naming he gave us a few interesting bits. Both the non-Pro and the Pro versions of the upcoming handset will cost a little bit more because of 5G.

It's no secret by now that the new OnePlus phones will be equipped with Qualcomm's latest flagship SoC, the Snapdragon 865 along with the Snapdragon X55 modem, which in turn means that the OnePlus 8-series will support 5G connectivity.

Coming straight from the CEO himself, the handsets' prices are expected to climb up, but he also assured fans that the price won't be anywhere near the $1,000 mark. How far they will be remains to be seen, but with the OnePlus 7 Pro (the US missed on the 7T Pro) starting at $669, we can expect pricing between $700 and $800 for the 8T Pro.

This is a trend with all flagships launching this year so it doesn't really come as a surprise that the new OnePlus phones will come with a price hike. What we've been able to gather so far, not only are the chipset and the modem more expensive but the antennas add quite a lot too.

In any case, the new OnePlus smartphones are expected to land sometime in April.

The OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro are definitely on the horizon and in fact, approaching pretty fast. As per the latest industry insider info, we can expect to see the pair some tine in late March or in April. Basically, just as soon as the annual MWC storm cools down and the air is clear. A fresh new leak claims to have a render of the upcoming OnePlus 8 Pro, alongside a few specs points. Some of these pretty obvious and easy to deduce, while others rather interesting.

Looking at the render first, since it ended up offering that last little convincing we needed to at least give this otherwise rather suspicious leak the benefit of the doubt. The back of the OnePlus 8 Pro, as pictured, actually matches an earlier set of renders from a different source. Only, this time, the color is different. Granted, not necessarily the most believable, but whoever created the render still did their homework one way or another. The 3D ToF and supporting camera sensors are in a little strip to the left of the main triple camera. At least on the surface, things check out.

Moving on to the specs sheet then, we have the fairly obvious Snapdragon 865 and Android 10 bits. The memory options are neither here nor there, honestly. 128GB or 256GB with 8GB of RAM is a perfectly valid guess. Perhaps 12GB is a possibility as well. OnePlus could even jump on the increasingly popular train of showing-off with a 16GB tier. That sounds like a perfect match for a new McLaren edition. Our point being that memory is relatively easy to bump up or down even at a very late development stage.

Things do start to get interesting in the display department. 6.5 inches sounds believable, but previous leaks have also suggested 6.65 inches on the Pro and 6.5 inches for the regular OnePlus 8. Then again, that particular source is rather old and also mentions a 90Hz display, like on the current OnePlus generation. Since then, we have had a multitude of leaks and even official teasers suggesting that the OnePlus 8 Pro will feature 120Hz refresh rate display. Better still, one that can achieve the high refresh rate at a QHD resolution. The new source seems to get that part right, even if the information is already out there and pretty-much confirmed at this point.

And last, but not least, we have the 4,500 mAh battery - which sounds perfectly believable, alongside 50W charging. Presumably Warp Charge 50, if current branding is used. Honestly, that part is absolutely plausible as well and quite exciting. We first saw a 50W charging solution from OnePlus' parent BBK Electronics group all the way back in 2018 on the Oppo Find X Lamborghini. And, more recently, the Realme X2 Pro actually ships the feature to users. You can read just how impressive it is in our review. So, why not Warp Charge 50? We are definitely keeping our fingers crossed, even if we still choose to take this particular leak with a pinch of salt.

Over the past few days, there have been a couple of reports regarding the OnePlus 8 series. Yesterday, we saw a real image of the OnePlus 8 in Robert Downey Jr. “Iron Man” hands. Later the same day, there was a poster that claims that this series will be released on April 15th. This is the first time that we are getting an exact launch date for this series. However, the date is still a leak and nothing is official for now. Now, the latest render of the OnePlus 8 Pro just hit the web. The render is probably based on the plethora of information available on the web.

So far, the renders of this smartphone seem to be consistent with the OnePlus 8 real image. This device uses a quad-rear camera set up in a vertical alignment. Three sensors are arranged in the center while the fourth sensor is the side. Camera. Below the single sensor on the side is the LED flash. At the same time, the OnePlus logo is beneath the triple camera array while the “OnePlus 5G” text still appears below. Overall, this smartphone comes with a curved body design.

OnePlus 8 will use a slightly smaller 6.5-inch AMOLED display with an on-screen fingerprint sensor. This phone has three versions: 6GB + 128GB, 8GB + 128GB and 12GB + 256GB, all of which are UFS 3.0 storage. According to reports, this smartphone will use a triple rear camera setup with a 48MP main sensor. The other two sensors are 16MP and 2MP. This device comes with a built-in 4000 mAh battery and supports Warp Charge 30T charging technology.

According to speculations, the OnePlus 8 Pro will come with a 6.65-inch AMOLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate. This smartphone will use the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 SoC and Adreno 650 GPU. There will be four cameras on the rear as well as a ToF sensor. Its 4500 mAh battery supports 10V 5A ultra-fast charging and also supports 30W wireless fast charging.

In order to prepare itself for the technology 5G era, OnePlus will invest nearly $30 million for 5G research and development. The company has officially confirmed that the OnePlus 8 series will support 5G network. However, if there is a Lite model, it will probably stick with LTE.
