OnePlus said it would launch the OnePlus 8-series smartphones in a global online event scheduled on April 14. The event shall be streamed live on the company’s official web portal. The announcement came amidst an on-going coronavirus pandemic outbreak, which has disrupted the supply chain and logistics industry globally, forcing many smartphone makers to postpone their product launches.
The OnePlus 8-series is expected to bring several upgrades, especially with regard to imaging and connectivity. The upcoming smartphones were long rumored to be 5G-ready, and today’s announcement finally confirmed that all the smartphones under the OnePlus 8-series would indeed have 5G connectivity. The display is another feature that the announcement shed light upon. OnePlus will unveil a new display boasting an enhanced refresh rate of 120Hz, a natural upgrade to last year’s screen of 90Hz refresh rate.
Besides 5G and screen of 120Hz refresh rate, the OnePlus 8-series is also expected to bring new optics for better imaging. However, details are not yet clear on this. Even with protection in place for resistance against water spillage and dust damage, OnePlus smartphones never had an IP rating. If the upcoming phones get IP rating, it would be the first for the OnePlus smartphones. Talking about the first for OnePlus, there are chances that the OnePlus 8-series might also get wireless charging feature that has long been missing from OnePlus smartphones.
