Judging by the recent influx of leaks, as
well as at least a couple of suggested launch dates pointing to mid-April, the
OnePlus 8 pair is fast approaching. Notable leakster, @OnLeaks clearly has the
scoop on both phones and has been feeding us info piece by piece. After
showing-off the OnePlus 8 Pro, now we get a very similar showcase of the
vanilla OnePlus 8. Once again, we get to see it from every angle.
Naturally, some specs, mostly aligning
with previous leaks are also included. The vanilla OnePlus 8 should feature a
6.55-inch, FullHD+ Fluid AMOLED display, still working at 90Hz. Its bigger Plus
sibling is expected to get a bump to 120Hz. The smaller brother is also
expected to be one camera short, packing a 48MP, f/1.8 main snapper, 16MP ultrawide
and a 2MP macro. It will pack a 16MP snapper on the front.
The regular OnePlus 8 is said to also get
the flagship Snapdragon 865 chipset, along with 5G connectivity. Alleged memory
tiers include 8GB RAM plus 128GB storage and 12GB RAM plus 256GB storage. Battery
capacity should be 4,300 mAh and there should be support for OnePlus’ 30W Warp
Charge tech, for quick top-ups.
The source also claims that OnePlus will
be skipping on an official ingress rating for the OnePlus 8. A fact that could
start sticking-out more to potential buyers if the company continues its yearly
trend of increasing the overall price of its handsets.
OnePlus has already kicked-off its Lab
initiative for early testing of the OnePlus 8 pair of smartphones. This is a
rather positive sign that the launch won’t be too delayed, despite some
complication already arising, due to the ongoing COVID-19 crisis. Speaking of
which, the OnePlus 8 Lite could feel their effects a bit harder and end-up
pushed back a bit.
