OnePlus could be planning to launch a new, cheaper Android smartphone in the coming weeks. The mid-range device, dubbed OnePlus Z, will help the Shenzen-based brand to compete against Apple’s iPhone SE and Google’s forthcoming Pixel 4a. The smartphone will reportedly launch in July, as per tipster Max J.
The phone — Oneplus — had been rumoured to launch alongside the OnePlus 8 series in April, but did not appear. Now latest rumours suggest OnePlus plans to launch the smartphone in the coming days.
According to rumours, the handset might come with a 6.4-inch 90Hz AMOLED display, an under-screen fingerprint scanner, a MediaTek processor with 5G support, and long battery life. OnePlus is yet confirm the existence of OnePlus Z.
While OnePlus has done exceptionally well in the premium segment, the brand’s presence in the mid-range market is negligible. A mid-range OnePlus Z could appeal to those consumers who don’t want to spend Rs 41,999 on the OnePlus 8.
