OnePlus to take on Apple iPhone SE with affordable OnePlus Z, launch expected in July

OnePlus is set to take on the recently launched Apple iPhone with its affordable offering – the OnePlus Z, expected to be unveiled sometime in July, 2020. The company had launched the OnePlus 8 series earlier this month which comprises of the OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro. However, there were reports claiming that they might also launch the OnePlus 8 Lite or the OnePlus Z on the same day. 

While the affordable variant wasn’t launched back then, a new leak suggests that it will arrive in July, 2020. Tipster Max J has shared a teaser image apparently for the ‘OnePlus Z’ that is set to arrive this Summer. This could be a chance for the company to redeem the ‘Flagship Killer’ moto by offering top of the line specs at an affordable price tag. 

The new smartphone will offer an affordable option to those who can’t splash $1000 on the OnePlus 8 series. 

Considering the OnePlus 8 comes at a starting price going upwards of Rs 40,000 in India, the more affordable OnePlus Z could cost you around Rs 30,000 in India. The OnePlus Z (OnePlus 8 Lite) is expected to come with a 6.4-inch 90Hz refresh rate punch-hole display, MediaTek Dimensity 1000 processor, 4,000mAh battery, up to 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage.
