We have a post from the Chinese social network Weibo today. This article refers to OnePlus’ plans for OnePlus 8. And if this is true, the company will become an early passenger on the 5G train. OnePlus added 5G to the OnePlus 7 Pro but decided to skip the OnePlus 7T Pro.
According to the reports, OnePlus is looking forward to outfitting the OnePlus 8 with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 SoC. Also, the company will support 5G connectivity on the smartphone; support that is better than that provided on the OnePlus 7 Pro. This will be part of newer phones, such as OnePlus 8 or OnePlus 8 Pro, or both. Since OnePlus is looking to equip its next device with the Qualcomm Snapdragon X55 modem.
5G Capability
The Snapdragon X55 is Qualcomm’s second-generation stand-alone 5G modem, designed to operate on a smartphone or tablet independently from the SoC. Unlike the X50, the X55 can operate solely on 5G networks without the need for LTE signals for functions such as calls. Besides, the X55 can always use a single chip to interact with the 5G, LTE, 3G, and 2G networks. This will eradicate the need for separate mobile radios, reduce costs and improve the battery life of the device.
