OnePlus 8 Lite renders point to a return to the mid-range

OnePlus 7T Pro
It looks like we'll be getting a more affordable OnePlus 8 model next year, after renders of what's being called the OnePlus 8 Lite were shared online.
Posted by @OnLeaks and 91mobiles – a pairing that has a good track record as far as mobile rumors go – the renders show a handset with a dual-lens camera on the rear and a punch-hole cut out for the front-facing camera.
The phone is being tipped to feature a 6.4 or 6.5-inch screen, making it a little smaller than the 6.55-inch OnePlus 7T and the 6.67-inch OnePlus 7T Pro that the company launched most recently.
As usual, there's a USB-C port here and no headphone jack, and based on the renders the phone will come in at a thickness of 8.6 mm (0.34 inches), which actually puts it between the two flagship phones this year.
OnePlus 8 Lite leak
When it comes to the internal specs, it's not clear exactly how the OnePlus 8 Lite might differentiate itself from the standard OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro (if those are the handsets that OnePlus launches).
A slower processor and less RAM would be an obvious move – but this year the likes of Samsung and Apple have put the same processor in both their flagship models and the more affordable variants.
It might be that fitting a smaller screen and putting just two cameras on the back of the phone are all the compromises that OnePlus is going to make, but we shouldn't have to wait long to find out: the OnePlus 8 handsets are expected in the first half of 2020.
We do know that OnePlus has committed to putting 90 Hz screens on all its phones in the future, so that's one spec that we're certain to see when the device does appear.

EVERYTHING WE KNOW ABOUT THE PIXEL 4, THE MOST-LEAKED PHONE EVER

Image
Google’s  Pixel 3 might have been the  most-leaked phone in history . Long before its unveiling, we knew practically everything about it from unboxing videos, photo comparisons, even a full review of the device. Surely, for the Pixel 4, Google would clamp down on leaks to leave some surprises for its debut on  October 15th , right? Let’s just say, if that was the plan, it didn’t exactly work out. We’ve now seen the Pixel 4 XL from every angle and in three different colors. At least seven different sources have touched this phone, many of them confirming the same specs. We not only know which cameras it’ll have, but also what they may be capable of, including air gestures (go figure). That doesn’t even count information Google has already shared  on purpose.

We’ve sifted through all of the rumors and information we can find to compile everything we know —...

Besides SamMobile, the confirmation also comes from  some Redditors  who got the update in Germany just a few hours back. The same Reddit users also mention that Google Pay remains broken even after installing this final Android 10 firmware, although it wasn’t immediately clear how widespread t...
