In keeping with tradition, OnePlus unveiled its latest high-end phone(s) a couple of months ago, but before splashing the cash on the unusually expensive 5G-enabled 8 or 8 Pro, the company’s hardcore fans should know its next release will not be the presumably pricey 8T and 8T Pro in September or October.

Still, Pete Lau’s words of reassurance regarding prospective US availability are not… very reassuring, suggesting this particular phone will never officially come to North America. Instead, you may have to wait for a different “affordable” device in the “near future.”

That would be a great shame given the CEO’s vague announcement seems to fit with speculation of a pretty dreamy list of features and a virtually unbeatable price point of anywhere between $300 and $400. 

OnePlus is planning to bring the “premium, flagship experience” you’ve come to expect from the company’s high-end products to this affordable new line, which might include everything from a Snapdragon 765 processor with built-in 5G support to a grand total of four rear-facing cameras, at least 8 gigs of RAM and 128 gigs of internal storage space, a large 4,000mAh battery with fast charging capabilities, and a flat 6.4-inch OLED display with a trendy hole punch and smooth 90Hz refresh rate.
