OnePlus 8 series flagship smartphones are set to go official on 14th April through an online launch event. Now, a couple of weeks ahead of the launch event, the OnePlus 8 series flagship is up for blind sale in Germany.

Deutsche Telekom has started a blind sale campaign for the upcoming OnePlus flagship smartphone and the promo commemorates the six-year partnership between the carrier and OnePlus, giving users a chance to get their hands on the latest phone and be among the first to receive the device.

The bundle in the blind sale offers the latest flagship OnePlus smartphone, limited edition packaging and some additional OnePlus accessories. While the campaign does not specific which phone you’ll get but its likely that the offer is for the premium 8 Pro model.

As for the pricing, it ranges from €590 with a €95/month two-year plan to €890 with a €50/month plan. This confirms our estimate that the OnePlus 8 series will come with a significantly higher pricing than their predecessors.

Based on the reports, 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 display is also claimed to be top-notch with a 2K+ screen resolution and a high pixel density of 512 PPI and 120Hz refresh rate. On the back, there will be quad-camera setup with a 48MP primary camera, a 48MP ultrawide angle camera, an 8MP telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom, and a 5MP color sensor. On the front side, the device will come with a 16 MP snapper for taking selfies and video calling.

Along with the IP ratings for water resistance and dust proof, the company will ship the upcoming smartphones with support for wireless charging and reverse wireless charging. While the pricing is expected to be on the higher side, some reports indicate that it won’t exceed $1,000 price tag in the United States.
