He has also mentioned that “the new technology does add costs, so costs have risen in comparison to 4G products.” Thus, we can expect OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro to be costlier than its predecessor.
A majority of users anticipating the OnePlus 8 series are excited about OnePlus 8 Lite, a rumored budget smartphone from the company carrying high-end features. OnePlus 8 Lite is expected to feature a 90Hz display, triple-rear camera setup, and a MediaTek Dimensity 1000 processor instead of Snapdragon chipset.
The Chinese smartphone manufacturer company will likely include an IP rating on its smartphones this time, and we could also see the wireless charging capability in OnePlus 8 Pro.
