With MediaTek chip
Rumors about OnePlus 8 Lite are not easy. A reliable leaker believes that this phone may be available in July at a price of 400 Euros. The higher release date of mid-range smartphones may be related to the processor used.
OnePlus 8 Pro: This is new
OnePlus launched OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro, but fans waited in vain for the previously traded OnePlus 8 Lite at the launch event on April 14. So are the rumors about cheap lite versions just ducks? Not at all. Because in March, well-informed leaker Ishan Agarwal announced that the cheaper Lite model will not appear until July. His tweet clearly attracted many fans.
According to Agarwal, the price of OnePlus 8 Lite in the UK is only £ 400. Therefore, you can assume that the price in Germany is 400 Euros. According to Agarwal, the phone will provide a 90 Hz display with a hole punch, powered by MediaTek chips. The website 91Mobiles.com introduced the new MediaTek processor Dimensity 1000 into the discussion of OnePlus 8 Lite. Netzwelt believes that OnePlus 8 Lite is powered by the cheap Dimensity 800 chip. There are two reasons:
- According to MediaTek, the first batch of equipment equipped with Dimensity 800 is expected to be released in the first half of 2020, which will explain the later release date of OnePlus 8 Lite. Dimensity 1000 is already available.
- In addition, Dimensity 1000 is designed for top smartphones, while Dimensity 800 is designed for mid-range smartphones with advanced requirements. This is in line with the concept of OnePlus 8 Lite. OnePlus has adopted a similar approach in OnePlus X 2015, its first mid-range smartphone.
The name is unclear
Recently, there are rumors online that OnePlus will sell it as OnePlus Z instead of OnePlus 8 Lite, so it will be based on the OnePlus X naming scheme. In fact, the name of OnePlus 8 Lite has not been confirmed, but the network named the phone as that name. Currently, OnePlus Z also seems unlikely to be the name. The name is more likely to refer to the Bullet WIreless Z headphones that came with OnePlus 8 [Pro].
OnePlus has no rumors
Otherwise, manufacturers who are keen to provide information will still comment on possible streamlined models. After the press conference, OnePlus' India Twitter account received many inquiries about the Lite mode. All these still have no answer.
At the press conference where OnePlus 8 was released, Netzwelt raised corresponding rumors to the manufacturer and received meaningful silence. When asked again, "OnePlus will be new at some point." This does not sound like a clear denial.
