By OnePlus Z – Super Budget Smartphone?
OnePlus is ready to launch its budget smartphone in a market again. As we already know OnePlus launch The company’s last mid-range phone which is the OnePlus X back in 2015, so this is a big deal for budget-conscious fans of the brand. It’s an even bigger deal when we look at the OnePlus 8 series pricing.
So OnePlus X will be the successor of OnePlus X. Here’s everything we know about the OnePlus Z.
OnePlus Z Design
The future OnePlus phone first leaked in December 2019 courtesy of OnLeaks on Twitter and 91mobiles. These renders (Above Image) show a phone with a punch-hole display, a possible glass back, and what could be an alert slider like other OnePlus phones.
Sadly, these renders don’t seem to show a headphone port, which is a big disappointment. We’ve seen flagships ditch the gate in recent years, but mid-range machines have mostly kept it.
But we found some differences between these renders and the OnePlus 8 series designs though. Render image shows the dual rear camera on OnePlus Z but after some real image leaks, we found that OnePlus Z will have a triple camera setup.
This above image is OnePlus itself, as they held a Livestream with executives and seemed to show off dummy models (see the 29-minute mark). We doubt OnePlus would show off dummy models if the designs were an agent of future products in the first place.You can also check out the real image in which fingerprint scanner is under the screen and it has a flat-screen which seems to be OLED.
OnPlus Z specification and features
The OnePlus 8 series carries some powerful specifications, such as a Snapdragon 865 processor, lots of RAM, and even wireless charging and an IP68 rating for the Pro model. We can’t expect these features in the OnePlus Z, due to lower price tags.
We found the leaker Ishan Agarwal and 91mobiles gave us a possible look at the OnePlus Z specs, declaring that it will offer a MediaTek processor and a 90Hz screen. Today a new report claims the OnePlus Z will be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 765 chipset, and not the MediaTek Dimensity 1000L. We do not confirm yet but the possibility may change soon so bear with us.
Other possible specs include an in-display fingerprint sensor, 8GB of RAM, 128GB to 256GB of storage, a 4,000mAh battery, and 30W charging. The Tripple camera will pack a 48MP+16MP+12MP rear camera trio, but the OnLeaks does only seem to show a dual-camera setup.OnePlus Z Price and availability
The Expected price would be for around £400 (~$498) in the UK (Around ₹ 35,000) For what it’s worth, the cheapest OnePlus 8 model in the UK starts at £599 (~$745). The UK pricing likely isn’t in line with other regions, but it does suggest that we should expect a difference of ~$200 at the very least.
We cannot expect the price of new OnePlus Z around ₹ 15,000 which comes under budget smartphone because as we see for OnePlus X. So we have to wait for some more time.
