OnePlus just announced the OnePlus 8 Pro, the company’s latest flagship smartphone and the successor of last year’s OnePlus 7T Pro in an online launch event, as it had promised. It has a 6.78-inch FHD+ Fluid AMOLED edge-to-edge display, 120Hz refresh rate, HDR10+, and a 20:9 aspect ratio and a 16-megapixel in-screen camera with Sony IMX471 sensor. It has dedicated MEMC chip that transforms standard videos at 24fps up to 120 fps.
