The German website WinFuture has got the official press photos of the OnePlus 8 Pro smartphone, which reveals that it will be available in a distinctive blue color that will be exclusive to this model without the OnePlus 8 standard edition.
The leak comes two weeks before the announcement of the two phones, as the company said yesterday. It will announce the phones of the OnePlus 8 series on April 14th. Both phones will be available in green, in addition to black.
The pictures published by the website showed that the OnePlus 8 Pro screen will be slightly curved on both sides, while the OnePlus 8 screen will be flat. The phone will offer a 6.78-inch AMOLED screen with a high refresh rate of 120 Hz, and it will also support a brightness level of 1,300 nits.

Gizchina News of the week
It is noteworthy that the company had confirmed that the phone will support a refresh rate of 120 Hz, and it will include a Snapdragon 865 processor with LPDDR5 RAM, and an internal storage type of UFS 3.0. These are the latest technology available on the market.
Separately, the company’s CEO recently gave a clue to the price tag of these smartphones. According to OnePlus founder and CEO, Liu Zuohu, the OnePlus 8 will support 5G networks. In addition, they will not sell for more than $1,000 in the US.
Although Liu Zuohu did not disclose the specific price, we already know that the OP8 is cheaper than the Galaxy S20 5G which costs $999.99. Liu Zuohu also said that relative to 4G, 5G faces so many challenges. According to him, most of these challenges are technical. For instance, how to implement multiple antenna layouts in a compact body is a challenge. On the other hand, it is costly.
At $800, it will take over the market. At $900, it will have some impact. At $999, it will just be another good smartphone.
Honestly, i think neither OP nor customers are ready for a $1000 OP gadget… Unless it has all boxes ticked..
1. Wireless charging
2. Water and dust proofing
3. Reverse charging
4. Superb camera quality
5. Extreme advertisement…
