After months of leaks, the OnePlus 8 series finally has a launch date. OnePlus has announced that its new flagships will be unveiled on Tuesday, April 14, 2020.

The OnePlus 8 series launch event will be live-streamed and it will begin at 11 AM EDT/3 PM GMT/4 PM BST/8:30 PM IST. At the moment, it appears only the OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro will be announced on that day.

The #OnePlus8Series is coming. April 14.

The OnePlus 8 series will come with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 865 processor with all-in-one 5G. The standard version will have a 90Hz Fluid AMOLED display with a punch hole and a 1080p resolution. The Pro model is expected to have a 120Hz QHD+ AMOLED panel with a punch hole too.

Other differences between the two devices include triple rear cameras on the OnePlus 8 and quad rear cameras on the OnePlus 8 Pro. The latter will also have a bigger battery capacity, support for fast wireless charging, support for reverse wireless charging, and also up to 30x digital zoom.

The OnePlus 8 series will run Android 10 out of the box and should come with a new version of OxygenOS. The phones are expected to cost a little more than their predecessors.

OnePlus is expected to launch a third phone too originally thought to be called the OnePlus 8 Lite. However, a new report says it may actually hit markets as the OnePlus Z. This makes sense considering the fact that there was a OnePlus X and a OnePlus Y will definitely be the butt of several jokes.

UPDATE:

OnePlus’ Carl Pei has officially confirmed that OnePlus will be revealing its new logo on March 18. He didn’t say anything about the OnePlus 8 series or its launch date, but we might hear more about that too on the same day. Meanwhile, this is what he said (translated) about the March 18 teaser.

“Last year, after a series of preliminary surveys, we found that our brand image in many global online and offline channels did not meet the high standards we had in mind.

Therefore, our initial intention of launching this new renewal (visual brand identity) project is to achieve a simple wish — “no compromise”, to provide users with a better experience, which should be implemented from all aspects of the brand. We need to study, iterate, and polish the entire visual system to make it what it should be.

On Wednesday, March 18, a new vision system will be unveiled, hoping that the new design will take on a new look and make your eyes more comfortable.”

According to the recently surfaced images of the OnePlus logo (from China’s Trademark office), OnePlus could ditch its iconic RED color for an all-black logo.

Original story as follows. 

The OnePlus 8 series is one of the most anticipated smartphone lineups in the first half of 2020. Now it looks like the company is finally warming up the arrival of the new series. Earlier today, OnePlus’ official Weibo account teased a date: March 18.

The social media profile says something new is coming on the above-said date and there’s also an image of something under wraps. Given the timing of this teaser, it’s safe to assume that this teaser could be for the OnePlus 8’s launch. Recent rumors have said that the OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro models could be announced around mid-April, so the company could officially announce the OnePlus 8 launch date this week! Given the situation in China and the rest of the world, it’s likely that the launch event will be held offline. However, we haven’t received any official word from the company yet.

We expect to see at least two new models in the OnePlus 8 series: The OnePlus 8 Pro and the standard 8. The standard model is expected to feature a triple camera setup at the back. TPU cases for the phone were recently spotted on Giztop as well, revealing its three-camera setup at the back. The Pro model was also recently spotted at the hands of Robert Downey Jr.
