UNBOXING ONE PLUS 8 PRO
HIGHLIGHTS
- The OnePlus 8 could end up getting massive upgrades this year with curved edge display.
- OnePlus 8 Pro will get a 120Hz display similar to Samsung Galaxy S20 series.
- OnePlus will reserve the OnePlus 8 Lite for later in the year.
Anew OnePlus phone is an exciting affair for smartphone enthusiasts and with the upcoming OnePlus 8 series, excitement levels are at an all-time high. Leaks and rumours started coming even before the OnePlus 7T Pro hit the market and over the months, there’s so much on these phones that you can literally skip the launch event and wait for the phones to go on sale directly before buying one.
Off late, there have been several new leaks and renders that keep on reiterating the same stuff. However, a slight change in plans has been reported by the tipsters. Instead of launching three models under the OnePlus 8 series, OnePlus will only bring the OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro for now. The OnePlus 8 Lite may be coming later in the year similar to last year’s OnePlus 7. Additionally, these new phones are expected to be unveiled on April 15 but through an online event instead of the usual mega on-ground event thanks novel coronavirus.
That still leaves us with some time to soak in all that we know about these two phones and hence, before OnePlus starts teasing, here is a bunch of all the stuff we know about the OnePlus 8 series.
OnePlus 8: What’s new for the flagship killer?
Based on the leaks, there’s a lot that’s going to be a part of the regular model. Most of the stuff may look like updates over the OnePlus 7T but in terms of the overall package, the OnePlus 8 will be closer to the OnePlus 7 Pro instead of the OnePlus 7T. And isn’t that a good thing?
To start with the display, the OnePlus 8 will most likely retain the 90Hz display as seen on the OnePlus 7T. However, OnePlus has already teased its 120Hz display and to gain a competitive advantage over upcoming phones like Redmi K30 Pro, Mi 10 and existing phones likes Realme X50 Pro 5G and Asus ROG Phone 2, OnePlus might move to 120Hz for the regular model. The display is said to have curved edges and instead of the notch, there will be a punch-hole cutout for the front camera. The screen resolution is said to be stuck at 1080p though.
Inside, the OnePlus 8 will use a Snapdragon 865 chipset and as confirmed by OnePlus CEO Pete Lau, it will support 5G networks across all the markets. You can expect OnePlus to club up to 8GB RAM and 256GB storage on the regular model. The battery is also expected to be upgraded to 4000mAh and the Warp Charge 30T could take care of fast charging duties.
The camera is where the phone is expected to get massive upgrades. The rear camera could end up seeing the new 64-megapixel Sony IMX686 sensor that could be accompanied by an ultra-wide camera and a 2x optical zoom similar to the OnePlus 7T. The front camera might use the same 16-megapixel camera we have seen on the OnePlus 7T series.
OnePlus 8
With 5G included, the OnePlus 8 is expected to start from Rs 40,000 this year for the base variant. It is a massive bump over the OnePlus 7T but it leaves OnePlus a chance to introduce the OnePlus 8 Lite later in the year.
OnePlus 8 Pro: Where’s OnePlus settling this year?
It could be quite high. The OnePlus 8 Pro will take the game up to the Galaxy S20 series from Samsung and the Apple iPhones of the world.
Starting with the display, there’s no doubt OnePlus might be settling for the 120Hz Quad HD+ AMOLED display that OnePlus revealed last month. The 120Hz refresh rate will make animations smoother and gameplay better. The display will have curved edges as usual but instead of the pop-up camera, OnePlus will go for a punch-hole cutout for placing the 32-megapixel camera.
The OnePlus 8 Pro will get the same Snapdragon 865 chipset as the regular model but OnePlus could end up giving the phone up to 12GB RAM and 512GB storage on the top-end variant. The phone could end up getting a 4500mAh battery and chances are that it could use the same 50W Super VOOC fast charging or even the 65W fast charging from Oppo. Rumours suggest the OnePlus 8 Pro could also end up getting wireless charging and IP68 rating this year.
As for the main cameras, the OnePlus 8 Pro might use the same 64-megapixel camera from Sony along with a 16-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera and a 13-megapixel telephoto camera. Rumours even suggest possibilities of a 108-megapixel camera similar to the Galaxy S20 Ultra and the Xiaomi Mi 10.
ONEPLUS 8 PRO - Hands On!
OnePlus 8 Pro Launch Date Might Be Maintained Around the Same Time as the OnePlus 7 Unveiling Which Happened This Year
Details of a potential OnePlus 8 Pro launch happening in Q2 2020 comes from Max J., who has been on-point about previous rumors in the past concerning different phone manufacturers such as Sony and Samsung. He now states in a tweet that both the OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro will launch during the second quarter of next year. While that’s not much to go on, we believe that the company will attempt to maintain the same launch timeline as it did with its OnePlus 7 and OnePlus 7 Pro unveiling earlier this year.
To refresh your memory, both the OnePlus 7 and OnePlus 7 Pro were unveiled on May 2019, meaning that a OnePlus 8 launch could happen during the same period. As far as the design of both upcoming smartphones go, renders of the OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro have come forth, revealing that the pop-up front-facing camera on the more premium handset will be replaced by a punch-hole cutout. Also, there could be a fourth sensor added at the back, which we believe is a ToF camera.
What’s Else Can We Expect When It Comes to OnePlus 8, OnePlus 8 Pro Features?
Next year, both OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro could offer 5G support, and as the company’s CEO stated earlier, we could get cheaper devices than the OnePlus 7 Pro. We also hope that this time, users get access to Qi wireless charging since that’s a feature that’s long overdue on these handsets.
Other than that, a 90Hz refresh rate display should be present on both models, along with both handsets being underpinned by the Snapdragon 865. Of course, this is just the start of many rumors, so we recommend treating this one with a pinch of salt. As we near the official OnePlus 8 launch in 2020, we’ll get to know exactly what it houses underneath and more, so stay tuned.
OnePlus 8 Pro: 360 degree renders EXCLUSIVE
OnePlus 8 Pro sketch leak outlines quad-cameras and punch-hole screen
The OnePlus 8 Pro is likely still months away from being made official, but that won't stop the rumor mill from offering us hints of what to expect from the 2020 OnePlus lineup.
The latest leak comes in the form of alleged sketch outlines of the OnePlus 8 Pro. It was first reported by TrueTech and the images interestingly fall in line with previously shown renders of the phone.
A few of the key changes that we can make out from these diagrams is the presence of a punch-hole cutout for both single and dual front-facing cameras and a quad-camera setup on the back.
- OnePlus 8: what we want to see
- OnePlus 8 Pro allegedly spotted with dual punch-hole display
- The OnePlus 8 Pro could come with a 120Hz display
Dropping its pop-up camera mechanism, the leak suggests the OnePlus 8 Pro seems to adopt a punch-hole style notch cutout for front-facing cameras. From the set of images sourced by TrueTech, we could be looking at both the OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro in the above image.
The phone with a single selfie camera cutout could be the regular OnePlus 8, while the one with dual punch-hole may be the OnePlus 8 Pro. The sketches also hint at minimal bezel around the screen, and it seems like the top and bottom bezel are finally going to be in symmetry.
The volume keys are positioned on the left edge of the phone while the alert slider is placed on the right. Below the slider, there's an elongated power button for better ergonomics. Also, the earpiece on the top is wider than on previous phones, allowing for more screen than before.
On the back, there's a quad-camera setup flanked by the OnePlus logo in the center, dual-tone LED flash and laser autofocus. There are three sensors housed within the camera module, which could be the same as that of the OnePlus 7T Pro. But the fourth sensor added here is said to be the Time of Flight (ToF) sensor for depth-sensing.
However, since these are not official images of the phone we can't gurantee these are accurate. Even if they are, we may also see more changes by the time OnePlus launches its next generation of phones.
We likely won't know for certain until the middle of 2020 as the next OnePlus handsets are expected to be unveiled around May or, perhaps, even later.
