    OnePlus 8 Pro Leak Claims That It Will Include A Display Camera Hole

    There have been multiple rumours and leaks recently revealing that the OnePlus 8 Pro will come with a display camera hole. The OnePlus 8 Pro Leak repeatedly mention the camera hole’s existence, making it almost certain that the phone will have a display camera hole. GizmoChina, the tech news outlet, shared an image of a seemingly legitimate OnePlus 8 Pro screen protector. The screen protector also comes with its top-left edge cut off, clearing any doubts fans had about the display camera hole.

    If leaks are accurate, the newest OnePlus phones will include a camera hole on the top-left corner of its display. The design choice is not shocking at all since a lot of phones in 2020 opt for this design. Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S20 flagships will also sport a display camera hole in the centre. Other upcoming devices like the Huawei P40 are also expected to follow the same trend and include a pill-shaped display camera hole. Even Samsung’s second foldable smartphone – the Galaxy Z Flip will sport a display hole.

    The source shared two images of the screen protector. The first one comes with the edge cut off, while the second one does not. The first screen protector appears flat, while the second one is curved. The difference in the two protectors could only be revealing the material of the protectors, and nothing else. The first one looks like it’s made of plastic, and the second one looks like an authentic tempered glass protector. CAD-based renders of both the OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro surfaced last year. Based on these renders, the two phones are expected to feature remarkably similar designs.

    The upcoming flagships will feature 120Hz displays and a Snapdragon 865 processor. Both variants will be made out of metal and glass and will feature a curved display. The primary difference between the two will be visible on the back since the camera modules will look slightly different. The phones will have super slim bezels, and the backsides of the phones will be curved as well. The alert slider will surely make a comeback, and so will the in-display fingerprint scanner.

    Out of the box, the OnePlus 8 series phones will come pre-loaded with Android 10, along with the standard OxygenOS skin. The phones will come with a warp charger in the box, and the Snapdragon 865 will power the upcoming OnePlus flagships.

    Both the OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro are rumoured to boast proper dust and water resistance certifications – which is a first for OnePlus’ devices. Both devices will also feature a high refresh rate 120Hz display according to the leaks. The phones are expected to arrive in Q2 2020, probably in April or May.

    OnePlus 8 Series Challenges Galaxy S20 with patent 120Hz Fluid Display

    OnePlus is currently competing with every smartphone brand, and on the recent announcement, OnePlus revealed the new specifications and features for its display technology on the event held in Shenzhen, China. The company has developed a new QHD+ OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate that will debut in the next OnePlus 8 series.

    The use of a 120Hz display is only to fast the display refresh rate. The content on the screen is now refreshed 120 times per second. This makes a smoother playback and also the overall OS fluid experience. To be an instance, we have previously seen the 120Hz display on the phones like Asus ROG Phone 2 and Razer Phone 2.

    OnePlus 120Hz Fluid Display specs

    According to the sources and information that is trending on twitter and other websites like Weibo. The display of the OnePlus 8 series will feature a 10-bit colour depth. It means the 120Hz screen will be able to produce a palette of 1.07 billion colours, and this can be opposed to the 8-bit panel, which can display 16.7 million colours.

    The recent report from the verge that OnePlus brand works with the Samsung company to develop the new and better display among other models. The publications also report that the company has worked for improving the gestures and other features of the Android.

    Additionally, the company aims to have 0.8 JNCD (Just Noticeable Color Differences) ratings for every display it produces. JNCD is a measurement of the bare minimum colours that a human eye can spot. If I make a comparison with Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus, then It has a JNCD rating of 0.4, which is near to perfect.

    The recent machine translation of the company’s presentation slides suggests that the new display of the OnePlus 8 series will use a dedicated MEMC (Motion Estimation and Motion Compensation) chip. This is the technology usually available in the televisions only. Basically, it inserts the new frames between the existing video to increase the motion blur.

    The latest MEMC technology in OnePlus series can upscale the low frame rate videos and make it smoother and even better using a 120 frame rate per second. If this exactly works as intended, then this could be a massive achievement in the gaming industry.

    Further, It has a touch sample rate of 240Hz and can apparently hit 1000 nits peak brightness. The smooth chain technology often optimizes it. The details are scarce at the moment, and we should thank the official information that is only available in Chinese.

    Will the OnePlus 8 get a 120Hz Display?

    CEO Pete Lau confirmed that the company’s next phone would feature the new display tech and probably the best display phone for the year 2020. It would be best if you also remembered that Samsung is also planning to launch its new S20 series with a 120Hz display.

    We can only hope the new display rate would be optimized through the current battery consumption and should be able to provide a good backup. OnePlus is soon expected to detail its tech and other specifications of its new display, and we will let you know quickly as possible as soon we will get the latest.
