According to the report, OnePlus 8 is expected to come equipped with a 6.55-inch FHD+ display with a refresh rate of 90Hz. The OnePlus 8 Pro is speculated to offer a bigger 6.78-inch display with a 120Hz refresh rate. Furthermore, previously rumored MEMC chip for boosting content frame-rate will be exclusive to OnePlus 8 Pro. That apart the OnePlus 8 series is also expected to get the much-needed IP rating and the report says OnePlus 8 Pro will offer IP68.

As mentioned earlier, the latest report comes with a bunch of camera details. The OnePlus 8 Pro is expected to feature a quad-camera setup consisting of 48MP IMX689 primary sensor, 48MP IMX586 ultra-wide sensor, 3X hybrid zoom telephoto sensor, and a color filter.

OnePlus is doing away with 8K recording on the new OnePlus 8 series despite the fact that Snapdragon 865 supports the same.

Furthermore, the OnePlus 8 Pro is expected to come with an audio zoom facility which will be facilitated by three microphones.

Other camera features on OnePlus 8 includes a “unique style through artistic lighting effects and filters.” The report also mentions a macro mode based on an ultra-wide camera, flicker sensor that helps eliminate flickering in video recording and a night mode. Meanwhile, both the OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro are expected to come with a 16MP front-facing/selfie sensor.
