OnePlus 7T Pro just launched in the market, but the leaks cycle has already moved on to imagining what the OnePlus 8 phones will look like. In a set of new images posted by 91Mobiles and Onleaks, we can see that the OnePlus 8 Pro will mark a radical design change compared to the OnePlus 7T Pro and OnePlus 7 Pro.
The images shows that the OnePlus 8 Pro gets a punch hole camera on the front, instead of the pop-up selfie camera that we see on the current generation of the OnePlus 7 Pro and 7T Pro. The punch-hole camera is what we have seen on the Galaxy S10 series and the Note 10, the Motorola One Vision, Honor 20 to name a few.
The back panel of the OnePlus 8 Pro’s image render shows three cameras arranged vertically and there’s a fourth 3D ToF sensor placed next to the camera module. The ToF or Time Flight sensor will help with 3D photography, AR tasks, etc. According to the report, the OnePlus 8 Pro will have the following dimensions: 165.3 x 74.4 x 8.8 mm.

OnePlus CEO Pete Lau had earlier indicated that the company could introduce a permanent 5G version on the next phone. He also said that the company had no plans of introducing a foldable phone as they could not see a use case for it.
While these are early renders and cannot be taken as a confirmation, it would not be surprising if OnePlus does change the front design for its next phone. The pop-up selfie camera, while ensures the screen can maintain its symmetry, is also prone to wear and tear. That would explain why OnePlus might go for a punch hole camera this time. Again we will only know what the OnePlus 8 Pro looks like when it launches in May 2020.
