OnePlus 8 Lite chipset, price leaked: A true OnePlus X successor?
All signs point to OnePlus launching a more affordable device for the first time since 2015’s OnePlus X. The so-called OnePlus 8 Lite will likely see several compromises compared to the OnePlus 8 Pro models, but what kind of cutbacks can we expect?
Well, tipster Ishan Agarwal and 91Mobiles have revealed that the OnePlus 8 Lite will have a MediaTek chipset. There’s no word on a specific processor, but earlier rumors pointed to a 5G-enabled Dimensity 1000 chipset. That would still make for a very powerful, flagship-level SoC owing to the latest Arm CPU cores and GPU, but it lacks 8K recording capabilities and true 960fps super slow-mo recording.
OnePlus will indeed launch a lower end phone, but we don’t know its name yet. What we do know is that it will priced around £400 in the UK, have a Mediatek Chip and will launch by July in most countries. It will also feature 90hz Punch Hole Display!

The two sources also say the OnePlus 8 Lite will offer a 90Hz refresh rate, in line with the Pixel 4 and OnePlus 7T. But the new OnePlus flagships are expected to offer a 120Hz refresh rate.
In terms of pricing and availability, Agarwal says the phone will retail for £400 (~$513) in the UK, adding that it will be available worldwide by July. For what it’s worth, the OnePlus 7T launched at £549 (~$703) in the UK, so the OnePlus 8 Lite will be substantially cheaper if the reported price is correct. For what it’s worth, the OnePlus 7T launched in India for Rs 37,999 (~$519), so hopefully the OnePlus 8 Lite is significantly cheaper than that when it hits India.
The new phone was previously tipped to arrive with a punch-hole selfie camera, and at least two rear cameras. What else would you like to see from the Lite model? Give us your wishlist below.
