OnePlus 8 Flagship Expected to be Released in May  
April 05, 2020

​The OnePlus 8, expected to be released in May will be powered by a Qualcomm 5G chip, have a 120Hz refresh rate on the Samsung-supplied display, and improve Android animations to match that display.
  • The new OnePlus devices should launch next month sometime, but an official date hasn't been confirmed by the company.
  • The notch in the OnePlus 7/7T phones is gone, replaced by a punch-hole front-facing camera in the upper left corner. 
  • There’s a triple rear camera setup, and the previously revealed revamp of the company’s logo.
  • The OnePlus 8 Pro will apparently borrow from the stablemate OPPO Find X2 including the same 48MP main camera and 48MP ultra-wide sensor, which means it will use the Sony IMX689 sensor and IMX586 ultra-wide camera sensors respectively.
  • Expect a 5G phone with top the line cameras at over $1000.
  • Even Xiaomi, known for value, had to price its new Mi 10 Pro with 5G at $1105.
 
OnePlus Z:
  • The OnePlus Z will offer another mid-range device into the new 8 series, and that was billed as the OnePlus 8 Lite.
  • But recent leaks indicate the OnePlus Z  matched the details of the OnePlus 8 Lite, and that OnePlus was launching a new series on the back of the old OnePlus X.
  • Early reports are that it’d be closer to $500 at launch, and use a MediaTek 5G-enabled Dimensity 1000 chipset instead of Qualcomm’s more expensive flagship chipset.
  • MediaTek has been seen by enthusiasts as something for value and budget devices only, but that may change with OnePlus getting on board.
