According to the leaks, both phones are powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 865 5G chip and have 16MP selfie cameras. On the back, OnePlus 8 has three cameras, including one with a 48MP sensor. The OnePlus 8 Pro has a quad-camera setup with two 48MP sensors. OnePlus is also giving a boost to the display by giving the Pro model a 120Hz AMOLED display. The OnePlus 8 sticks with a 90Hz display, as featured on the OnePlus 7 Pro. The OnePlus 8 phones will also have larger batteries than their predecessors.

With the Covid-19 pandemic still disrupting markets, it’s not clear when the new phones will be available and how many will go up for sale first. OnePlus is also facing a harsh market as global smartphone sales dropped 14% in February from the same month last year.
