OnePlus 8 series specifications and design

The OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro will likely be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 SoC, while the Lite could get a less powerful chipset. OnePlus already confirmed that going forward all its device would feature a higher refresh rate display, this suggests they could have 90Hz or 120Hz refresh rate.

A recently leaked OnePlus 8 Pro leaked product diagram revealed a vertically-arranged quad-camera setup placed in the centre. It is suggested that OnePlus could be adding a ToF sensor to the triple cameras found on the OnePlus 7T Pro. It’ll ditch the pop-up mechanism for a pill-shaped punch-hole design at the top-left corner of the display to accommodate dual-selfie cameras. While the standard OnePlus 8 will just have a single snapper.

As for the OnePlus 8 Lite, it has a flat display, possibly sport a 6.4 or 6.5-inch panel with full HD+ resolution and Corning Gorilla Glass layer. Unlike its siblings, the OnePlus 8 Lite has a centre-aligned punch-hole cutout for a single selfie camera. The renders suggest the USB Type-C port is present on the bottom, and there is no presence of a headphone jack. All the models are expected to pack a glass body design with gradient designs.
