OnePlus 8 will officially be launched in an online event on April 14. Just ahead of the launch, OnePlus has given us a few teasers of the device. CEO Carl Pei recently shared some samples shot by the OP8’s camera. A promo video for the OnePlus 8 has also been shared online. While OnePlus may not have revealed the design of the model officially, the video gives us a glimpse of the OnePlus 8!

The video is a follow up to a post by the company’s CEO on the OnePlus forum where he revealed some design features of the upcoming OnePlus 8. He took readers down memory lane on how the brand’s phones have radically changed over the years up to this point.

One particular aspect is the revelation that the OnePlus 8 will have the ‘Fifth-Generation Matte-Frosted Glass’ which is the same type of material used on the OnePlus 7 Pro but this is an improved version.

The sketch also shows that the smartphone will come with a thinner and lighter build making it easier to hold. The back will also have a better haze effect than what was obtained on previous models.

The video shows some sketches and then a render of the device revealing the top and bottom edges. The video doesn’t reveal much anyway as the camera aspect was skipped out. The antenna band, bottom speaker grills and USB-C port can be seen on the render which happens to be the first official render to be released. Check out the video from below.
