New leaked information about OnePlus’ next flagship phone reveals it may come in a really slick seafoam green shade and that it might be the first OnePlus phone to have wireless charging via Android Police.
leaker Ishan Agarwal shared apparent specs for both the OnePlus 8 Pro and the smaller, standard OnePlus 8. The spec sheets detailing most of the features and internals of the OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro. The interesting bit of information here is that reportedly only the Pro model will include wireless charging and an IP68 water-resistance rating. Agarwal claims the OnePlus 8 Pro will support 30W wireless fast charging. When asked about inductive charging in the past, OnePlus CEO Pete Lau has consistently said the company didn’t want to include the feature until it could make it as fast as its wired power adapter, which it appears it has been able to do. Taking a page from Samsung’s bag of tricks, the phone will also be able to inductively charge other Qi-compatible devices you place on its back.
The higher-end variant will also feature a 120Hz refresh panel, instead of a 90Hz one. It will also include faster LPDDR5 RAM, a quad-camera array with two 48-megapixel sensors and a sizeable 4,510mAh battery.
Other than the addition of a Snapdragon 865 processor, a slightly bigger battery and a 12GB RAM option, it doesn’t look like the more affordable OnePlus 8 will be a significant upgrade over the 7T. Looking at the camera specs, the 8 may also feature a less versatile camera than its predecessor. It seems OnePlus plans to trade out either the 7T’s telephoto or ultrawide camera for a 2-megapixel depth sensor.
