Larger IPHONE 8 : OLED Display and DUAL Camera

OLED Display and Dual Cameras May Be Exclusive to The Larger iPhone 8 Model

Next year’s iPhone is expected to be different and there are already a bunch of rumors  circulating around on what to expect. One  that seems to be true is the use of an OLED display which will be a first for the Cupertino-based company. Today there is fresh news on the display from a supply chain analyst firm.

The firm, KGI Securities, issued a report predicting the lineup of Apple’s next phone. The report says Apple will be releasing not two, but three iPhone 8 models of which only one will sport an OLED display, the other two will use IPS LCD screens.

And if you have been expecting the dual-camera setup on the iPhone 7 Plus to be available on all models henceforth, sorry to burst your bubble as the firm says it will still be a Plus exclusive. However the unit with the OLED display will have dual rear cameras as well.

So to put in a simpler form, next year’s line-up may look like this:

1. 4.7” model with a single rear camera and a LCD screen
2. 5.5” model with dual rear cameras and a LCD screen
3. 5.5” model with dual rear cameras and an OLED screen

These three models will also be available in multiple storage variants which means the iPhone 8 with an OLED display and 256GB storage might as well be priced over a thousand dollars.

Other rumors we have heard include the return to an all glass back and the a complete ditching of the home button.

Some folks have already said this is unlike Apple and do not see the possibility of this happening. While we advice everyone to take this with a pinch of salt as there is no confirmation from Apple, we have also learnt to not be shocked at what happens henceforth, as a company can deviate from what appears to be the norm at anytime.

Here’s how the OnePlus 3T differs from the OnePlus 3.

OnePlus 3T Features

Let’s begin with aesthetics. The OnePlus 3T will be available in two colors: Gunmetal and Soft Gold. Inside we find the best mobile CPU on the Android side, i.e., the Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 clocked at 2.35GHz. A nice upgrade from the SD 820 present on the OnePlus 3, and also the USP of the OnePlus 3T.

The phone still features a 5.5-inch Full HD AMOLED display coated in Corning Gorilla Glass 4, It’ll sport 6GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage as well as a 128GB variant (not available earlier).

The rear camera stays the same 16MP IMX298 sensor shooter with PDAF, f/2.0 aperture and 4K video recording capability. Meanwhile the front-facing camera has been upgraded to a 16MP Samsung 3P8SP with PDAF and f/2.0 aperture, this one will only be able to record 1080p @30fps… perhaps keeping in mind the growing selfie junta.

The OnePlus 3T will be fueled by a bigger 3400mAh capacity battery (3000mAh on the OnePlus 3) featuring Dash Charge fast charging technology, which they say it allows to charge a “day’s power in half an hour”.

The phone measures 152.7 x 74.7 x 7.35 mm and weighs 158 grams, it will support Cat.6 4G, VoLTE, Bluetooth 4.2, Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, GPS, GLONASS, NFC.

The fingerprint scanner on the OnePlus 3T is integrated in the front home button and it comes with Oxygen OS based on Android 6.0 Marshmallow. Android N has been officially announced to arrive later this year.

The OnePlus 3T will be on sale for $439 for the 64GB version and $479 for the 128GB, starting November 22nd.

So that was it, a slightly upgraded OnePlus 3, with better front facing camera and bigger battery to please power users. Not a whole lot more than that!
