A new report from TechRadar claims that the OnePlus 8-series will be unveiled in the second week of April, seemingly confirming recent rumors that the lineup will be announced earlier than usual. While the exact date remains a mystery, noted leakster, Ishaan Agarwal (@ishanagarwal24), says it might happen on April 14th. It will also apparently be a ‘global announcement’, meaning OnePlus is planning to release the device(s) simultaneously in most of its major markets around the world.
TechRadar India might be right about this. I was told the launch date is/around ‘14th April’ for the #OnePlus8Series (after facing a slight delay)!
In a separate tweet, Agarwal also claimed that the OnePlus 8 Pro will ship with 30W reverse wireless charging, making it the first smartphone from the brand to offer the feature. It’s not immediately clear, however, whether the OnePlus 8 will also come with the feature, but we’ll hopefully get that info in the days ahead. Meanwhile, the 8 Pro is also expected to to come with dual-band 5G support, which is to be expected from most flagships going forward.
Coming to the higher end OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro, well, you know already that they will be getting 120hz Punch Hole Display. The 8 Pro will feature Dual 5G support for sure and will also get 30W Reverse Wireless Charging Support. Yes, both normal and Reverse.https://t.co/Kv7jtVuYO7
