The OnePlus 8 series launched globally yesterday. The launch event, which was done online, saw the manufacturer announce the OnePlus 8, OnePlus 8 Pro, and OnePlus Bullets Wireless Z. However, one device that was missing from the lineup is the much-anticipated OnePlus Z a.k.a. OnePlus 8 Lite. A teaser by OnePlus China on Weibo hints at the phone launching tomorrow.

The teaser is an image of a white box with a question mark on top and a caption that roughly translates to “If there will be a “mysterious new product“ at the launch event tomorrow, what do you think it will be?”.

The box is clearly a retail package for a phone and it is quite smaller than the retail box for the new OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro. We believe it is the retail box for the OnePlus Z/OnePlus 8 Lite.

It makes sense that OnePlus is launching this phone in China (first) rather than globally. The phone is expected to come with a MediaTek Dimensity 1000 processor, and unlike the rest of the world, Chinese phone buyers are more receptive to phones powered by MediaTek processors.

The OnePlus Z is rumored to have a 6.4-inch FHD+ AMOLED display with a 90Hz refresh rate and a centered punch-hole. It has also been reported to have 48MP triple rear cameras, a 4000mAh battery capacity, and support for 30W Warp Charge.

Do you think the mysterious product is the OnePlus Z?

From a startup to a fully-fledged premium smartphone brand, OnePlus has come a long way since its inception in 2013. Now, as the brand is all set to unveil its 7th generation of smartphones, it has also tweaked its logo with bold letters and icons. In case you are wondering, the OnePlus 8 series is indeed the seventh generation of phones from the company as it ditched number 4 back in 2017 by launching the OnePlus 5.

Although OnePlus still depends on feedback from its community, the brand has shifted its philosophy from making ‘flagship killers’ to producing ‘premium flagships’ competing directly with the big names like Apple, Samsung, and Huawei. Also, the brand still somehow manages to undercut the competitors by pricing its devices slightly cheaper with OxygenOS as an icing on the cake.

Just like previous years, the company will be shipping 10 units of its upcoming phones to select applicants based on the evaluation.

‘The Lab’ program by OnePlus was first introduced for the OnePlus 5T in 2017. Since then, the company has revived this program for almost all the phones it has launched for. Like the previous iterations of the program, it is open for all, including non-OnePlus users as well as those whose are not a member of OnePlus Community. However, the company has reserved six of the ten spots for the OnePlus Community members.

According to OnePlus, the applicants will be judged by their writing, photography and videography skills, creativity and demographic diversity. Selected applicants will receive a new OnePlus 8 series device well before the launch so that they could start working on their reviews. The chosen individuals will be also asked to attend an AMA (Ask Me Anything) session to share their experience with the handset after 21 days from when they had received the device.

OnePlus has been rumoured to announce the OnePlus 8 series earlier than usual. Initial reports suggested it to be announced in mid-March but that isn’t happening, possibly due to coronavirus outbreak. Now, a fresh tip from Max J, a well-known leakster, reveals the launch of next generation of OnePlus smartphones to take place on April 15.

OnePlus is popular for its reasonably priced flagship premium smartphones. Thus, the brand’s handsets are one of the most anticipated product launches in the tech community. Ever since the first-ever CAD render leak of the OnePlus 8 series came into picture, it has been rumoured to debut much earlier than usual. But unfortunately, the coronavirus outbreak seems to have affected the development and manufacturing of the OnePlus 8 smartphones. Nonetheless, the company might announce them on April 15 via an online only event, which is exactly a month later than the previously suggested time period. Additionally, we think this info to be legit as multiple sources have confirmed the same.

However, even if OnePlus announces the OnePlus 8 series next month, the availability of these smartphones will still be a question. A report even suggested the new lite variant to be only made available months after the launch of the standard OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro. Further, earlier today, the OnePlus 8 Pro was spotted in the hands of the brand’s ambassador Robert Downey Jr. suggesting an imminent launch in line with the new leak.

OnePlus, the relatively new and popular smartphone manufacturer is gearing up for the launch of its latest smartphone series, the OnePlus 8. However, the company is bringing something new this year, with 3 smartphones being launches together, namely OnePlus 8, OnePlus 8 Pro and the new OnePlus 8 Lite. However, before any official announcement, the specifications, price and launch timeline of the OnePlus 8 Lite have been revealed.

Specifications

The OnePlus 8 Lite had previously had some of its specifications reportedly revealed. Now, the new leak also backs the same details such as the device having a 90Hz display on the front. Another rumor is that the smartphone will be the first OnePlus device to sport a MediaTek processor, with reports pointing at Dimensity 1000 SoC.

The high refresh rate display is said to be a 6.4 inch AMOLED panel with an in display fingerprint scanner as well. It will run the latest Android 10 OS and reportedly features a triple camera setup consisting of a 48MP primary lens alongside 16MP and 12MP sensors for ultra wide angle and telephoto lens. OnePlus 8 Lite will be powered by a large 4,000mAh battery pack that supports 30W fast charging and will be offered in two variants, 8GB + 128GB and 8GB + 256GB.

Price and Availability

Although the specs have been rumored for a while now, the pricing of the smartphone was still unknown. However, a new report suggests that the handset will be priced 400 GBP or roughly INR 37,500 or 511 USD. That’s a high price to pay for a Lite iteration of a series but it is likely that the price of the device a little lower for the Indian market.

According to the source, OnePlus 8 Lite will be available in India and other markets by July 2020. Unfortunately, it is unknown if the launch event will be held in the same month, or a month or two prior, since news of an early launch had been making rounds recently.

OnePlus might be taking a pre-emptive step with the launch of its upcoming flagship series’ launch. A new report has suggested that the popular Chinese smartphone manufacturer will announce the OnePlus 8 series in mid-April, earlier than its usual launch cycle.

According to a source close to the company, the OnePlus 8 series can be expected to be revealed within the second week of April 2020. So far, OnePlus usually holds the global and Indian launch events on the same date or around a similar time frame to each other. So it is likely that the same can be expected again. India has become a key market for the brand, which is one of the most popular smartphone OEM in the premium segment of India.

From what we already know, OnePlus will launch at least three variants, including the base variant, the pro variant, and a new Lite variant as well. Reportedly, OnePlus 8 Lite will arrive with a new angular design and will sport a 6.4 inch display, with a punch hole selfie camera on the front. It is also likely to have a high refresh rate of 90Hz, a trend becoming more popular in its flagship series. The leaked render also showcased a triple camera module on the rear and MediaTek‘s new Dimensite 1000 SoC is expected to power the device, a first for the company.

UPDATE:

OnePlus reached out to us saying that this news was false. They have not canceled the offline launch event for the OnePlus 8.

“Reports of cancelling an offline launch event due to coronavirus are false. OnePlus has a history of hosting online and offline events, globally.” – OnePlus

Original story as follows:

The businesses of various tech companies have been affected due to the COVID-19 coronavirus outbreak in China. Smartphone OEMs in China have decided to hold online-only launch event. In the previous week, Xiaomi had held an online launch conference for the Xiaomi Mi 10 series. Upcoming flagship phones from Redmi, Realme, iQOO and other brands are expected to get unveiled through online launch events. OnePlus founder and CEO Pete Lau has stated on Weibo that OnePlus will not be able to host a large offline launch event in the next few months. Hence, he is seeking ideas from OnePlus fans on holding a creative online launch conference.

The COVID-19 coronavirus outbreak have resulted in shipping delays and cancellation of the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2020 event. Like other smartphone brands, OnePlus seems to be gearing up to unveil the upcoming OnePlus 8 series through an online livestream event. In the past, OnePlus had online only launch events for its smartphones. In June 2017, OnePlus had held an online launch event to announce the OnePlus 5 and few years ago, the OnePlus 2 event was unveiled through a VR livestream.

The Snapdragon 865 mobile platform powered OnePlus 8 series may come equipped with 120Hz refresh rate supporting punch-hole screens.

In December, reputed leakster @OnLeaks shared the first CAD renders of the OnePlus 8 Lite.

The image shows the device sporting a triple camera system instead of dual rear cameras. Now @OnLeaks has shared an updated render of the OnePlus 8 Lite with triple rear cameras.

The OnePlus phone that can be seen on the OnePlus 8 Lite with triple rear cameras has a notch on its display could be OnePlus 6. Hence, it appears that the frontside of the OnePlus 8 Lite will continue to feature a punch-hole display.

The updated render by @OnLeaks now features a triple camera system at the top-left corner. An LED flash can be seen placed next to the top camera. The rear shell of the phone seems to be made out of glass and there is a OnePlus logo towards the center.

Last month, a leak from Steve Hemmerstoffer (@OnLeaks) revealed that OnePlus will release a device called the OnePlus 8 Lite. The leak included renders of the phone and they showed it will have a punch-hole display like that of the new Galaxy Note10 Lite. It will also have a rectangular camera housing on the back that houses two cameras and an LED flash. Today, alleged live photos of the phone have surfaced on the web but they show a different design (and specs).

The photos show the OnePlus 8 Lite has a notch. This is not a waterdrop notch like that of the OnePlus 6T but a wide notch like the one on the OnePlus 6. The images show there is a camera visible on the left side of the notch.

Moving to the back, we see the OnePlus 8 Lite has three rear cameras and not two as the renders showed, although the camera housing has remained unchanged. However, the LED flash is no longer inside the housing and has now moved to the left side of the setup and has taken the form of a pill.

There is a OnePlus logo on the back of the phone and nothing else. Since there is no fingerprint scanner on the back, it is safe to say it has an in-display fingerprint scanner under its AMOLED display.

The source of the images has said nothing about the specifications of the OnePlus 8 Lite. There are speculations it will be a mid-range phone but it is also possible it may have a flagship processor such as the Snapdragon 855 or Snapdragon 855+ inside it. This makes sense so that those who can’t afford the OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro which will be 5G devices can pick up the OnePlus 8 Lite (without 5G).

The OnePlus 8 Lite can also go up against the newly announced Galaxy S10 Lite, Galaxy Note10 Lite, and if priced well, may actually be a worthy option over the upcoming Pixel 4a. Is this the year we get a $400 OnePlus phone? Let us keep our fingers crossed.

It shows camera module that sits at the top-center position, with all the sensors aligned vertically. Along with the triple-camera setup we saw on the OnePlus 7T Pro, the company will be adding a ToF sensor as the fourth one.

The leak is actually 3D renders of the upcoming device courtesy of OnLeaks in partnership with 91Mobiles. The images show the OnePlus 8 Lite will look like a lot of Samsung’s own upcoming phones including the Galaxy S11.

The OnePlus 8 Lite is shown to have a punch hole right in the middle just like that of the Galaxy Note 10 series. Its siblings, the OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro will have their own punch hole in the top left and top right corners respectively.

The Lite version of the next OnePlus series not only looks different from its siblings with respect to its display. It also has a different camera design on the back. This is where OnePlus is again adopting a similar design to the upcoming Galaxy S11.

The camera housing is a rectangular bump that is positioned on the left side. It is home to two cameras and an LED flash. There is no info on the camera configuration but we won’t be surprised if the secondary camera is a depth sensor instead of a telephoto or ultrawide angle camera. There is also a laser focus system flanking the cameras on the right.

The OnePlus 8 Lite has a curved back that is covered in glass. There is no fingerprint scanner on the rear neither is there one on the side. This means the device probably has an AMOLED screen with an in-display fingerprint scanner.

The phone has a USB Type-C port but no audio jack. The alert slider is on the right along with the power button while the volume keys are on the left. There are two openings for the speaker at the bottom and on the opposite side is the SIM tray.

The phone’s dimensions are 159.2 x 74 x 8.6 millimeters, making it taller than the OnePlus 7.

While the OnePlus 8 Lite is expected to be a mid-range device, we have a feeling it may actually have a flagship processor – this year’s own. We may also see the phone launch with Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon 765 processor.

We also do not know if it will launch alongside its siblings or get an earlier or later release date. Nevertheless, we are excited to see what OnePlus has to offer with this new device.
