OnePlus is set to bring the next iteration of its smartphone series in the form of the OnePlus 8 and the OnePlus 8 Pro. While the former will bear the signature OnePlus pricing, OnePlus 8 Pro will come as a premium Android smartphone. With that, the device has now been confirmed to come with such premium features too, including an IP rating as well as wireless charging.
The same has been suggested by an online tipster named Ishan Agarwal, who also let out the specifications of the two smartphones earlier this month. Even in the spec sheets, it was observed that the OnePlus 8 Pro would come with an IP68 rating and support 30W wireless and 3W reverse wireless charging.
The OnePlus 8, on the other hand, is expected to resemble the OnePlus 7T and will come with a 90Hz panel, 8GB LPDDR5 RAM as standard, a triple-lens camera setup at the back as well as a slightly bumped up battery than its predecessor.

Much awaited feature!
OnePlus users have time and again asked for the wireless charging feature in OnePlus devices. However, the company never showed any interest in bringing the capability to its smartphones. A major part of the reason for this was OnePlus¡¯ own Warp Charging, that promises to charge the device from 0 to 70% in well under 30 minutes.
Introducing wireless charging would mean a comparatively slower charging speed than the Warp charging. OnePlus assumed that wireless charging would not appeal to the users because of this reason. But as the company forays into the premium smartphone segment with the likes of the OnePlus 8 Pro, it will now have to equip its smartphone with all the bells and whistles that a smartphone in the price category comes with. Wireless charging is one such crucial feature and it seems that OnePlus will now finally be embracing it!
A new colour!
Interestingly, a new report also mentions a cool new green colour variant for the OnePlus 8 and the OnePlus 8 Pro. Popular leakster Steve H.McFly (@OnLeaks) posted a press render of the OnePlus 8 Pro in a never-seen-before green shade which you can check out before. Like it, or not?
