Hence, 2020’s lineup is already looking exciting and if you are willing to upgrade to a new OnePlus next year, here’s a brief of everything we know about the upcoming OnePlus 8 series.

OnePlus 8 Lite: The true flagship killer?

This has got everyone talking and OnePlus could indeed be looking to make more money in 2020. The OnePlus 8 Lite is supposed to be a stripped-off version of the OnePlus 8 and it will most likely be similar to the OnePlus 7T. Rumours suggest that OnePlus could rely on a MediaTek Dimensity 1000 chipset with support for 5G networks to keep the costs low.
