The OnePlus X is referred to as a mid-range device but it technically isn’t. While it launched a year after the OnePlus One, it had the same Snapdragon 801 flagship processor. It has been four years now since the launch of the OnePlus X and OnePlus is yet to release a similarly priced phone. A new leak reveals we may be getting an affordable OnePlus phone which is reported to be called the OnePlus 8 Lite.
The leak is actually 3D renders of the upcoming device courtesy of OnLeaks in partnership with 91Mobiles. The images show the OnePlus 8 Lite will look like a lot of Samsung’s own upcoming phones including the Galaxy S11.
The OnePlus 8 Lite is shown to have a punch hole right in the middle just like that of the Galaxy Note 10 series. Its siblings, the OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro will have their own punch hole in the top left and top right corners respectively.
The Lite version of the next OnePlus series not only looks different from its siblings with respect to its display. It also has a different camera design on the back. This is where OnePlus is again adopting a similar design to the upcoming Galaxy S11.
[envira-gallery id=”293816″]The camera housing is a rectangular bump that is positioned on the left side. It is home to two cameras and an LED flash. There is no info on the camera configuration but we won’t be surprised if the secondary camera is a depth sensor instead of a telephoto or ultrawide angle camera. There is also a laser focus system flanking the cameras on the right.
The OnePlus 8 Lite has a curved back that is covered in glass. There is no fingerprint scanner on the rear neither is there one on the side. This means the device probably has an AMOLED screen with an in-display fingerprint scanner.
The phone has a USB Type-C port but no audio jack. The alert slider is on the right along with the power button while the volume keys are on the left. There are two openings for the speaker at the bottom and on the opposite side is the SIM tray.
The phone’s dimensions are 159.2 x 74 x 8.6 millimeters, making it taller than the OnePlus 7.
While the OnePlus 8 Lite is expected to be a mid-range device, we have a feeling it may actually have a flagship processor – this year’s own. We may also see the phone launch with Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon 765 processor.
We also do not know if it will launch alongside its siblings or get an earlier or later release date. Nevertheless, we are excited to see what OnePlus has to offer with this new device.
