OnePlus has finally announced the launch date of the OnePlus 8 series, after months of teasers. The latest flagship series will be announced on 14th April 2020 and the device will feature 120Hz and 5G networking. However, the details didn’t end there as Pete Lau, CEO of OnePlus, also revealed a few more interesting information regarding the upcoming launch.
According to a community post by the senior executive, the OnePlus 8 series will feature Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 865 SoC alongside LPDDR5 RAM and UFS 3.0 storage. This updated hardware enables “fast and smooth” performance and will give the series a 20 percent bump in CPU and a 25 percent jump in GPU performance. The new LPDDR5 RAM will allow for high transfer speeds reaching up to 6,400Mbps on bandwidth as high as 51.2 GB/s, all the while running on lower power consumption compared to the previous generation.

Similarly, the display is also top notch with a 2K+ display and a high pixel density of 512ppi and 120Hz refresh rate. Keeping all of this in mind, one would probably assume that the price of the OnePlus 8 series will also be just as high as the specs. But a report suggests otherwise, as according to Business Insider, the OnePlus 8 series will not exceed the $1000 mark in the US.
This makes the OnePlus 8 Pro one of the cheapest premium grade flagship which has the above mentioned specifications alongside 5G networking. Although the company has yet to officially reveal the pricing, it is a possibility that OnePlus still stands by its original philosophy of a “flagship killer” but with a lower cost overall. So stay tuned for the coming launch event and pricing details as well.
