OnePlus has so far only dipped its toes in the 5G waters with the OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren, which came out in December -- but each phone in the 8 series will have a 5G modem. This will be good news for Sprint and T-Mobile subscribers, who have decent access to 5G infrastructure. The lower-priced OnePlus 8 will allegedly feature a Snapdragon 865 processor, improved battery life and an option for 12GB of RAM.

Based on the rumors, it doesn't seem like much else will change between OnePlus' 7 series and 8 series phones. Fans of the company's gadgets will have a better idea of if they want to upgrade in a few weeks, though. The event will be livestreamed on YouTube at 11:00 am on April 14th.
