A few existing OnePlus phones are already compatible with Verizon, but they’re not directly sold by the carrier – you can only buy them unlocked.

OnePlus 8 specs and design

Reportedly, the OnePlus 8 sports a curved 6.5-inch 1080p display and measures 160.2 x 72.9 x 8.1 mm. This would make it a bit smaller than the last handset launched by OnePlus stateside – the aforementioned 7T Pro, which measures 162.6 x 75.9 x 8.8 mm.

Like almost all OnePlus phones before it, the OnePlus 8 will be a high-end device. Most probably, it will feature a Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 processor (this hasn’t been announced yet), 8 GB of RAM, and at least 128 GB of internal memory. 

There are no details about the triple rear camera of the OnePlus 8, but we assume this will be able to deliver nice photos and videos. It’s likely that a telephoto camera (for optical zoom) and a wide-angle camera are included in this triple setup. 

OnePlus 8 price and release date 

The OnePlus 8 is expected to be announced and released sometime in the second quarter of this year, so customers should be able to buy it no later than June. Of course, nothing is certain at this point. 

At the moment, there is no word on how much Verizon’s OnePlus 8 will cost. But we do know that 5G handsets are more expensive than non-5G models – for example, the OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren is currently priced at $899.99, being the most expensive OnePlus phone to date. That being said, we are expecting the OnePlus 8 5G to cost around $700 – $800 at Verizon. 

The OnePlus 8 could have two siblings
