The OnePlus 8 could be launched as early as March. On board the Snapdragon 865 with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. Price between 500 and 600 euros
OnePlus 8, OnePlus 8 Pro and even an unexpected OnePlus 8 Lite could be presented very soon: perhaps already by March or at the latest in April. This isn't official news, but a sneak peek from India's Ishan Agarwal, who has been getting many predictions about the features of upcoming smartphones right over the past few months.
On Twitter Agarwall also states that OnePlus' new Android smartphones will arrive with a new color scheme available: "I have some #OnePlus news to share with you all! OnePlus 8 & 8 Pro (who knows, maybe even the 8 lite) will be launching early! Expect a late March or April launch. Also, there will be a new green color for both phones." Specifically for the OnePlus 8 Lite, then, we're talking about pure speculation without any official confirmation even on the existence of the product in OnePlus' plans. The green color Agarwal is talking about, moreover, should be the same Olive Green already seen on the OnePlus 7T.
OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro: features
Leaving aside the hypothetical OnePlus 8 Lite, the other two models would then seem to be ready for launch in their final version. Rumors for the OnePlus 8 speak of a 6.44-inch Super AMOLED display and 90 Hz refresh rate, a Snapradon 865 SoC, of 8/12 GB of Ram and 128/256 GB of storage. The front camera is expected to be 32 MP, while the three rear cameras are 64, 16 and 12 MP. The battery will be 4,000 mAh.
The OnePlus 8 Pro will instead have a 6.7-inch screen, again Super AMOLED but with refresh rate up to 120 Hz. In the front there will also be a ToF photo sensor for the bokeh effect. The battery rises to 4,500 mAh with fast charging at 50 Watts.
OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro: how much they will cost
Also with regard to the prices of the new top of the range 2020 of OnePlus, at the moment, there are only rumors. There is talk of a base price of around 450-500 euros for the OnePlus 8 (with 8/128 GB). The OnelPlus 8 Pro is expected to cost between 6500 euros (8/128 GB) and 750 euros (12/256 GB). If what Agarwal says on Twitter is true, then it's only a short while until we find out if these predictions will be confirmed by the official specs and price.
