OnePlus 8 Design Leaked Online Ahead of OnePlus7T Release

OnePlus 7T is still a few weeks away from being officially released, but a new set of leaks surfaced online earlier today. The latest leak reveals the design of OnePlus7T predecessor, the OnePlus 8. Reputable leaker named Steve Hemmerstoffer or @OnLeaks collaborated with CashKaro to share the first renders of the next smartphone iteration from OnePlus.

The renders are based on the detailed schematics that a company insider shared with them according to the site. It implies that these renders are more accurate compared to several other early leaks. However, OnePlus 8 is far from its official launch, which means that the details and some features can still change.

Based on the leaked renders of OnePlus 8, a couple of prominent changes can be easily noticed. These changes are on the front and rear camera configurations. The schematics also suggest that the next OnePlus smartphone will have a hole-punch front-facing camera instead of the teardrop notch that both OnePlus 7 and OnePlus 7T feature.

The design of OnePlus 8 makes it look more like a smartphone made by the Seoul-based smartphone giant Samsung. In terms of the rear camera, OnePlus 8 features three lenses with the design of the camera setup very similar to that of OnePlus 7. Noticeably, it appears that the round camera display of OnePlus 7T is still present in its 2020 smartphone.

Additionally, the site claims that OnePlus 8 measures 160.2 x 72.8 x 8.1mm with a 6.5-inch curved display. It was also rumored that OnePlus 8 will be the first-ever smartphone from the company that will feature wireless charging. Moreover, the site claims that the bottom speaker of the next OnePlus smartphone iteration will have a much smoother edge compared to what consumers will see on OnePlus7T.

There is no information yet about the price, release date, and other specifications of OnePlus 8. However, if the company maintains its release pattern, One Plus 8 might be officially released in April or May 2020.
