For those who have been following the news closely, chances are you already know pretty much everything about OnePlus’ next flagship phones. A UK retailer even managed to reveal all just hours ahead of today’s launch event. Still, the show must go on, so here’s a look at the official announcement for OnePlus’ first-ever full 5G lineup: the 8 and 8 Pro.
It goes without saying that both models share a strong resemblance to the 7 and 7 Pro (and the 7T Pro too, for that matter), which isn’t a bad thing. The main difference here is that the front camera is now a 3.8mm punch hole at the top-left corner, meaning the Pro version no longer uses a pop-up camera. Screen purists may not like this, but in return, you do get IP68 rating for protection against dust and liquids — a first for OnePlus.

Much like how the 7 Pro was one of the first phones to feature a silky smooth 90Hz display, the 8 Pro takes it to the next level — 120Hz on a 6.78-inch QHD+ AMOLED panel, which is the same panel on Oppo’s Find X2 Pro. The smaller, slimmer OnePlus 8 has a more modest 6.55-inch FHD+ AMOLED panel, but it still maintains a nice 90Hz refresh rate.
