Oneplus 8 and Oneplus 8 pro:Specifications,Price,Launch
Oneplus has just confirmed the official announcement date for the Oneplus 8 and Oneplus 8 pro and with around two weeks to go to that date we pretty much already know everything there is to know.So in this blog we're gonna break down all the leaks and rumors in supercell style.
So firstly it does look like we're gonna have at least two one plus devices the oneplus 8 and oneplus 8 pro there's also some rumors that there may be a one plus eight light but we don't know too much about that device as yet but we do know quite a bit about the eight and the eight pro.
Oneplus 8 and Oneplus 8 pro:Display
Initially if we look at the front of the devices from all the leaks rumors that we see they do look pretty much exactly the same as the Oppo find x2 series. So we've got curved displays minimal bezels with a punch out towards the left hand side.Now this is kind of expected because Oppo is a sister company for oneplus and we've seen this many times before where Oppo announces something new and then those features eventually do trickle down to the oneplus series and this is not necessarily a bad thing because the find x2 Pro currently has one of the best displays in the market.So the oneplus 8 pro is gonna have a six point seven eight inch display this is what oneplus are gonna be calling a super fluid AMOLED display and that is because it's gonna have a 120 Hertz refresh rate with a quad HD plus resolution.
Now the oneplus 8 although it's gonna look very similar from the front it's going to be a 6.5 five-inch fluid AMOLED display it's gonna have a full HD plus resolution with a 90 hertz refresh rate.So still a high refresh rate but not quite on the level of the oneplus 8 Pro and both devices are also gonna have an in display optical fingerprint scanner like we've seen from oneplus before.Now some of you guys may be disappointed that we have a punch-up now and not a pop up camera giving the full screen experience that we saw on the 1 plus 7 Pro as well as a 1 plus 70 Pro but it looks like oneplus may be doing this because the oneplus 8 pro at least is gonna have an official IP 68 water and dust resistant rating now having mechanical moving parts does make getting an official IP rating difficult so this may be one of the reasons why they've done this I'm not too sure what do you guys think about the punch-out is it something that's it you don't mind or would you have preferred a pop out definitely let me know in the comments below.Now although the oneplus 8 pro is gonna have that official IP rate saying the 1 plus 8 is not gonna have that official IP rating so it's still probably gonna be pretty water and dust resistant except it's just not gonna have that rating to keep that price lower.
Oneplus 8 and Oneplus 8 pro:Looks,design
So both devices do have curved glass from the front and curved glass from the back as well with a metal frame and from the back realistically speaking these do look quite similar to what we had on the oneplus 7 pro last year so we do have a center camera module on both devices and we also going to be getting a few new colors so on the oneplus April there's going to be a black a blue as well as a green with the 1+8 there's gonna be a black also green as well as a glow color which is a bit of a multi color similar to what we've seen on the note 10 but this is gonna have more of a matte finish compared to that glossy finish on the note 10.
Oneplus 8 and Oneplus 8 pro:Camera
So the oneplus 8 pro is gonna have a quad camera setup where is the oneplus 8 is gonna have a triple camera setup now let's initially talk about the 1 plus 8 parole because this is where the cameras have taken a bit of a leap forward and some of the cameras are once again quite similar to defined x2 Pro so the primary camera is a 48 megapixel camera it's Sony's new imx6 8 9 sensor with an F 1.8 aperture it's quite a large sensor size and this time around the odd wide camera is also 40 mega pick it's got an F 2.2 aperture and it's using Sony's IMX 586 sensor what's interesting is that this is the sensor that was used in the primary camera of the last year's of one-plus devices so this is now being used for the ultra wide camera so definitely a welcome improvement here now with both of these cameras although they are 48 megapixels you are going to be using pixel binning and you will be shooting at around 12 megapixels on a general basis and for the third camera on the 8 probe it is going to be a telephoto camera with 8 megapixels and this is going to give 3 times optical zoom and up to 30 times the digital zoom so it's not gonna be on at the level of the periscope zoom that we've got on the find x2 Pro and finally the fourth camera is quite interesting because this is a 5 megapixel color filter camera now what it's exactly gonna do I'm not too sure at this point in time but we have heard rumored that there are going to be some new features such as a new night portrait mode 3 HDR video as well as cinematic effects so I'm assuming this new camera is gonna help towards some of these new features now for the 1 plus 8 you're not gonna be getting cameras quite at the level of the 1 plus 8 Pro so you're gonna have a primary 48 megapixel camera there's also a 16 megapixel ultra-wide camera as well as a 2 megapixel depth sensor both devices are gonna have a 16 megapixel front-facing camera .
Oneplus 8 and Oneplus 8 pro:Performance
Speaking of the performance the internals you'll be pleased to know that both of these are going to be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 chipset along with the X 55 modem to enable 5g and for storage both devices are going to be available in either 128 or 256 a good buy options with ufs 3.0 storage so this is going to be super fast now for the ramp they're both going to be available in either 8 or 12 gigabytes of RAM but the oneplus 8 pro is gonna have faster OPPD or 5 RAM for the software as expected Android 10 with oxygen OS on top oneplus devices in my experience some of the fastest devices out there so I've got no doubt that this is also going to carry on here on the new one plus devices for this because both Agata have stereo speakers is gonna be one bottom firing as well as one in the earpiece and for the batteries the oneplus 8 pro is gonna come in with a larger 4510 milliamp hour battery versus the 4300 milliamp hour battery on at the 1+8 both devices are gonna support one plus is 30 watt walk charge so this is very very fast charging it's not quite on the level from Opel with their 65 watt superbook 2.0 but what's interesting is that the oneplus 8 pro finally for the first time on a oneplus device is gonna have wireless charging and what's even more exciting is that this is gonna be 30 what wireless charging so it's gonna be very very fast now oneplus have traditionally said that the reason they've not gone with wireless charging is because it's just not going to be on the same speed as wide charging but it looks like they've managed to figure this out with wireless charging technology getting better and better and this is very exciting it's something that I definitely do miss whenever I'm using a 1 plus device there's also gonna be wireless power share so being able to reverse wireless charge using the oneplus 8 Pro although this is going to be pretty slow at just 3 watts this also indicates to me that oneplus are likely to be introducing some wireless earbuds that you can wirelessly charge on the oneplus 8 Pro again this is just me guessing but it seems to be quite likely the oneplus 8 however is not gonna be getting while it's charging unfortunately.
Oneplus 8 and Oneplus 8 pro:Prices
So with these new features and the official IP rating and things like that the price is of course gonna be higher compared to what we had last year there's no real definitive pricing out as yet but I'd expect the oneplus 8 pro to come in around 800 to 850 pounds maybe this would put it more in line with some of the flagships that is competing with on the one plus eight I would predict will be coming in at around 650 pounds that's my guess based on the features that has come in with and comparing it to last year's models in terms of availability they are likely to be ship out maybe a week or two after the official announcement date which is on the 14th of April
Oneplus 8 and Oneplus 8 pro:Conclusion
Both Oneplus 8 and Oneplus 8 pro are likely to be ship out maybe a week or two after the official announcement date which is on the 14th of April.And of course as soon as the announcement is made I'm going to be doing lots of coverage here.
