Rumor: OnePlus Z gets Snapdragon 765 processor – Tablets and phones – News

OnePlus cannot do much about that either; Qualcomm has rocketed its chipsets in recent years.
The OnePlus 8 is the cheapest smartphone with a Snapdragon 865 that you can buy in the Netherlands at usual stores. And devices from China, such as the Realme X50 and Nubia Red Magic 5G, have also become considerably more expensive than their predecessor, also due to Qualcomm’s position.

Furthermore, OnePlus has chosen to participate in a number of hypes such as curved 1440p punchhole amoled screens with a higher refresh rate. Those displays really aren’t cheap; you can score a Oneplus 6 screen assembly for less than $ 40. The display of the OP8 alone is much more expensive.

OnePlus wants to be a flagship killer in all areas, it is not a no-nonsense smartphone with the thickest CPU. And that comes with a price tag.

It is the whole smartphone market that is moving; OnePlus cannot do much about that. Because yes; the OP8 is a bridge too far for you. But: what do you buy?

Maybe a midranger? Then you end up on the Pixel 3a / 4a class (with 600 series CPU and a completely different caliber screen) – or that OnePlus Z. It is intended exactly for your target group … only the target group refuses to accept that on one or the other way
