INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
probably-to-be-named OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro.2019 was an interesting year for OnePlus, which split its lineup between the flagship specs
at a mid-range price in the OnePlus 7 and the more polished (and pricey) true budget flagship OnePlus 7 Pro
Those were refined with additional features in the 7T versions later in the year, as follows the phone maker's traditional tick-tock
OnePlus 8 Pro 5G - especially as those advanced wireless networks start rolling out more coverage.What is it? The next OnePlus smartphone
Future)OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro release date and priceGiven the release windows OnePlus has followed for years, we can expect the OnePlus 8 and
OnePlus 8 Pro to launch in late spring or early summer - the last two non-T versions came out in May 2018 and 2019, respectively, so mid-May

5G in the base OnePlus 8 modelWhile both generations of OnePlus phones in 2019 had a 5G version - the OnePlus 7 Pro 5G and the rarer OnePlus
7T Pro 5G McLaren Edition - they were both the highest-specced Pro models of the phones
While certainly more affordable than other 5G phones like the Samsung Galaxy S10 5G, they were notably pricier compared to the base OnePlus
While most 5G phones have been marketed as premium devices, the Moto Z3 and Moto Z4 have still delivered respectable (though not
record-breaking) speeds with the 5G Moto Mod; if we could internalize that in the base OnePlus 8, it would go a long way toward bringing 5G
to folks who don't want to spend top dollar.5
