There are numerous leaks that we have documented on the OnePlus 8 throughout the last few months. It is well known that the Chinese manufacturer is in the preparation phase of its next flagship series, which will contain this model, its advanced variant, which will arrive as One Plus 8 Pro. and another version to complete the trio.
Ultimately, the latest rendered image of the phone confirmed the design the device will be boasting about once it's presented and launched on the market on April 14. Now, the new thing that comes has to do with its technical section.
Just like the portal GSMArena summarizes the official statement that the manufacturer gave, OnePlus is committed to providing a "fast and smooth" user experience. To achieve that, you need the right combination of hardware and software, says Pete Lau, CEO and co-founder of the Chinese company, in a post on the official forum of the brand's user community that talks about the improvements that the I team + D from the company built for the upcoming OnePlus 8 phones.

For that, el Snapdragon 865, Qualcomm's most powerful chipset today, is the most suitable. This is officially indicated in the forum post, as well as the use of LPDDR5 and UFS 3.0 RAM memories in the following fragment that we take from the original publication:
“The smoothness is mainly in the performance of the system. As a premium smartphone brand, OnePlus has always made its flagship products with the most robust hardware components to deliver smooth system performance. So naturally, with the OnePlus 8 series, we started by laying a foundation with the best hardware available.
After announcing our next 120Hz fluid display in January, today I want to focus on what lies beneath that impressive and real display - which is our most powerful setup to date: the Snapdragon 865 SoC, along with LPDDR5 and UFS 3.0 memories, for a dramatic increase in system performance, while reducing power consumption. I know this may seem like a bold claim, so let's go through the data:
The Snapdragon 865 mobile platform improves on what was already an already powerful SoC (SD855) and offers a 25% increase in CPU performance and a 25% increase in GPU processing times, while being 25% more efficient in Energy. It also provides a 16% reduction in power consumption when recording video and a 40% increase in video noise pixel processing power. Its artificial intelligence performance is at least twice as fast as its predecessor, thanks to the Hexagon 698 DSP, which also offers 35% more energy efficiency.
The latest generation of smartphone RAM, which is the LPDDR5, also makes its brand debut, upholding the OnePlus tradition of being among the first manufacturers to bring the latest RAM technology available. The transfer speed reaches an incredible 6.400 MB / s at a bandwidth of up to 51,2 GB / s. The LPDDR5 card was also built with power consumption in mind, achieving 45% lower power consumption, compared to the previous generation.
El UFS 3.0 flash storage It might already be the current standard for flagship smartphones, capable of dramatically increasing read and write speeds to roughly 1.700MB / s, but we've taken it one step further. Based on the UFS 3.0 storage system, we have also added two new technologies to the mix: Turbo Write and Host Performance Booster.
- Turbo Write uses the top section of ROM storage as a high-speed read / write interval. Here, in theory, every read / write will go into this high-speed buffer and then move on to the next data transfer command.
- In addition, HPB (Host Performance Booster) can further improve the random read performance after prolonged use. »
