During an online event, OnePlus has officially taken the wraps off its OnePlus 8 series of phones.
Just as rumours have suggested, there are two devices in the OnePlus 8 series, the OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro.
OnePlus 8 Pro
The OnePlus 8 Pro has a 6.78-inch Fluid AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate (up from 90Hz) and 1440 x 3120 resolution. The display supports HDR10+.
Powering the OnePlus 8 Pro is the Snapdragon 865 processor with up to 12GB of RAM and up to 256GB of storage with UFS 3.0 support. There’s also 5G and WiFi 6 support.
The phone is running the latest version of OxygenOS based on Android 10.
There are four cameras on the OnePlus 8 Pro including a 48MP standard, 48MP ultra-wide, 8MP telephoto and 5MP colour filter lens. The front camera is 16MP.
You can shoot up to 4K video at 60fps on the OnePlus 8 Pro. Just like last year’s OnePlus 7 series, the OnePlus 8 Pro has an in-display fingerprint sensor and face unlock support.
There’s a 4,510 mAh battery and new for this year is IP68 water and dust resistant and 30W Wireless Charging. The phone also comes with OnePlus’ 30W Warp Charge 30T and 3W reverse wireless charging support. It’ll cost $99.95 CAD when it launches.
OnePlus is launching their own Warp Wireless Charger to take advantage of those fast charging speeds.
The OnePlus 8 Pro is launching in multiple colours including Onyx Black, Glacial Green and Ultramarine Blue.
