The OnePlus 8 series is already official, and now, the brand is soon expected to unveil the OnePlus Z smartphone. The latter was expected to make its debut alongside the OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro, but that didn’t happen. Now, a tipster has revealed that the OnePlus Z (aka OnePlus 8 Lite) launch will take place in July.
According to the tipster (MaxJmb), the OnePlus Z will be announced in the month of July, and it could sport a punch-hole display design. The cut-out could be placed in the middle of the screen rather than on the left side like the OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro. The OnePlus Z is widely rumored to feature a MediaTek Dimensity 1000 chipset. Comparatively, the recently announced 8 and 8 Pro pack a Snapdragon 865 SoC. The OnePlus Z will most likely be the most affordable variant of the OnePlus 8 series. The handset is rumored to have a 6.4-inch AMOLED display (flat) with Full HD+ resolution and a 90Hz refresh rate. It could be backed by 8GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 128GB/256GB UFS 3.0 internal storage. The OnePlus Z is said to have a triple rear camera setup. This might include a 48-megapixel main lens, a 16-megapixel wide-angle lens, and a 2-megapixel depth sensor. On the front, there is a 16-megapixel Sony IMX471 sensor. The phone is expected to offer at least a 4,000mAh battery with support for 30W fast charging.
