OnePlus: Here is the real flagship

So as we are in the Corona Virus lockdown session in most of the countries around the world, OnePlus threw a product launch streamed through company’s YouTube account.

I have watched the whole presentation and damn this device is impressive.

The company has released two main phones this year as all companies have done. A Pro version and a simpler version keeping all the pro features with some cut outs to make it cheaper.

The phone popped all over my social media news feeds as the marketing team did a great job giving the phone to be reviewed from the worlds top tech savvys and give you a glimpse of what is the new phones about.

See below what one of my favourite tech reviewers has to say about the device and let me know in the comments what do you think.

I think that OnePlus did a great job building an impressive phone and keeping the wow factor meter high by showing us how it is better from an iPhone with an Apple style product presentation.

Leaked OnePlus 8 Pro official images show Ultramarine Blue and Glacial Green colors

The OnePlus 8 Pro will have an exclusive color, Ultramarine Blue, which you can see in these official images that leaked a couple of weeks before the phone’s announcement.

Like the vanilla OnePlus 8, the Pro will be available in the new Glacial Green hue as well as a more traditional Onyx Black. The Ultramarine version isn’t a gradient like the Interstellar Glow of the non-Pro model, however.

Leakster Roland Quandt also has some more details to share. As you can see in the images, the display has slightly curvier sides (the vanilla phone is mostly flat). This will be a 6.78″ AMOLED panel with 120Hz refresh rate and and will be able to push out 1,300nits at max brightness.

Quandt confirms the dual 48MP setup on the back with a Sony IMX689 sensor in the main camera (1/1.43″ sensor, 1.12µm pixels) and an IMX586 in the ultra wide cam (1/2.0″, 0.8µm). There will also be an 8MP telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom and a 5MP sensor whose job will be to capture additional color data.

OnePlus already confirmed the 120Hz spec and that the 8-series phones will be powered by a Snapdragon 865 chipset with LPDDR5 RAM and UFS 3.0 storage, plus a 5G modem, of course. CEO Pete Lau said that the phones will be under $1,000.

By the way, the OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro will get Cyan Sandstone cases, which will look great with the Glacial Green paint job. The Pro is also getting Black Sandstone and Karbon (black again), but nothing to go with the Ultramarine Blue.
