OnePlus had earlier, in an official statement, said that it will be unveiling a full 5G lineup in this launch. OnePlus is all set to introduce its new line of phones including the OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro at the event.
Earlier this month, the smartphone brand had announced that it had earned an ‘A+’ overall display rating from tech evaluation firm DisplayMate for its upcoming OnePlus 8 series.
The devices will have a 120HZ refresh rate, up from the 90HZ refresh rate for the brand’s previous devices. The OnePlus 8 Pro will have a 6.78 inch 120 Hz Fluid Curved display. It will feature technologies including motion estimate and motion compensation (MEMC), HDR10+ (1400-nits) with 10bit colour.
In an interview with The Verge , OnePlus CEO Pete Lau had hinted at a few specs for the OnePlus 8 Pro including wireless charging. It will be the first time that the feature will be available for a OnePlus phone. The 30W wireless charging feature will have the ability to charge a phone by 50 per cent in 30 minutes, Lau had said. It will also feature reverse charging as per the report.
It is also likely to feature a 4,510mAh battery, and a Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 5G processor.
According to leaked renders by WinFuture and a report by online platform PriceBaba , the OnePlus 8 Pro will include a quad-camera set up with two 48-megapixel cameras backed by an 8MP sensor and a 5MP lens. The 48MP camera is likely to be equipped with a 30X Zoom according to the PriceBaba report.
The OnePlus 8 is likely to have a 6.55-inch FHD+ display with a 90Hz refresh rate according to The Verge. It will have a triple-camera setup. The device will be equipped with LPDDR4X RAM, a 4,300mAh battery, and the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 processor. However, the OnePlus 8 will not be equipped with wireless charging, the report said.
