OnePlus 8 Series Coming Earlier Than Expected Ishan Agarwal, who has a great track record when it comes to OnePlus leaks, now shares the OnePlus 8 device will arrive much earlier than expected. In a tweet, the tipster claimed the OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro would launch in late March or early April, and the OnePlus 8 Lite may arrive at the same time. The tipster is not sure about the OnePlus 8 Lite launch though. He also added that both the phones might be launched in a new Green colour. Earlier, Steve H.McFly of OnLeaks claimed the OnePlus 8 series would go official between February and March. Replying to Ishan’s tweet, Steve said the launch has been pushed back due to Coronavirus. This is very much possible as the supply chain is said to be affected due to the Coronavirus outbreak in China. Notably, Xiaomi is also holding an online-only launch event for the Mi 10 series later this week. OnePlus 8 Pro to Offer 50W Fast Charging A separate leak from Rootmygalaxy suggests the OnePlus 8 Pro will offer 50W wired fast charging support, similar to the Realme X2 Pro. We are not sure whether the OnePlus 8 will also have 50W fast charging support. OnePlus may differentiate the OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro smartphones heavily this year; The 8 Pro might have some exclusive features like 50W fast charging, 120Hz refresh rate screen, wired charging and some camera-centric features. The OnePlus 8 will likely be an iterative upgrade to the OnePlus 7T with the same 90Hz screen and triple camera setup. It will be interesting to see how the early launch strategy goes for OnePlus. The OnePlus 8 Lite is rumoured to launch only in countries where 5G is available, so we should not expect the company to bring it to the Indian market.
