OnePlus will commence its live launch event for the OnePlus 8 Series soon. This launch is expected to launch two new devices: OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro. There might be a lite variant named OnePlus Z – but nothing can be said about that yet. Other than those two devices, we will see at least two main accessories: 30W Warp Wireless Charger as well as the OnePlus Bullets Wireless Z. There might be a few more cases launching today – including some designer ones. However, let’s see if that’s showcased in the launch event or not.
