The OnePlus 8 series of flagship smartphones is scheduled to go official in a couple of weeks. In a typical OnePlus fashion, the company has already revealed some of the key features of the upcoming device.
Now, ahead of the phone’s launch, DisplayMate has announced that the OnePlus 8 series has managed to earn the highest A+ rating as well as the Best Smartphone Display Award. Last year, the OnePlus 7 Pro also received A+ ratings from DisplayMate and the company is now aiming to outdo itself.
The report adds that the display on the upcoming lineup “sets or matches more than 10 Smartphone Display Performance Records in virtually all key categories for the best displays on the market, including color accuracy, image contrast, display brightness, and screen reflection, with 4 categories marked Visually Indistinguishable from Perfect.”
OnePlus CEO Pete Lau has already confirmed that the OnePlus 8 series will come with AMOLED display panels from Samsung. It will offer 120Hz refresh rate, and will also come with motion estimate and motion compensation (MEMC) technology for smooth video playback and 10-bit color gamut.

A report from PCMag claims that OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro will have two main user-selectable color modes — Vivid and Natural. While Vivid mode has a wider color gamut and high image contrast, the Natural mode accurately represents either the digital cinema DCI-P3 color space or the older sRGB color space.
The OnePlus 8 Pro has a brighter display than the Galaxy S20 Ultra at 50 percent average picture level (APL) and the max brightness level of the display can reach 1009 nits at 50 percent APL, which is slightly higher than the Galaxy S20 Ultra’s 995 nits.
While the company has not confirmed all the specifications, leak indicates that the OnePlus 8 Pro will feature a 6.78-inch QHD+ Super AMOLED display with 120Hz refresh rate, Snapdragon 865 SoC, 12GB RAM, 4,510mAh battery, Warp Charge 30T support along with wireless charging and reverse wireless charging. To know for sure, we’ll have to wait for the official launch event on 14th April.
