Karamchand Rameshwar - Mar 09, 2020

OnePlus 8 Lite is the first affordable smartphone that OnePlus will release after five years and it could also be the first phone to feature a MediaTek chipset.

The OnePlus 8 series will likely go official in both Indian and global markets sometime next month. The upcoming series will come with a new change in the number of smartphones. Instead of just two, OnePlus will reportedly introduce one more model in the lineup called OnePlus 8 Lite. That means there will be three OnePlus 8 smartphones launched, including OnePlus 8, 8 Pro, and 8 Lite. Now, several details about the handset have just surfaced online thanks to tipster Ishan Agarwal. According to his tip, the device will come with a punch-hole display with a 90Hz refresh rate and a MediaTek chipset.

OnePlus 8 Lite: Price in India & Availability

According to tipster Agarwal, the OnePlus 8 Lite price will be around 38,700 in the UK. You might find it too expensive compared to the Rs. 34,999 price of the OnePlus 7T in India. However, the price tag of the OnePlus 7T in the UK is around Rs. 51,000, so the OnePlus 8 Lite should have a much lower price when coming to India. As for its launch date, the tipster suggests that the device could make its debut in India and the global market by July.
