More evidence for OnePlus 8 with Snapdragon 865, Verizon support
June 04, 2025
TheOnePlus 8 seriesis expected to launch in the coming weeks, marking the first OnePlus flagship phones of 2020. It makes sense that we’d see theSnapdragon 865chipset in the OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro, and it now seems like a company employee may have confirmed key details.
Android Authorityhas spotted a OnePlus employee’sLinkedIn account, listing work on a5Gdevice. More specifically, the account lists the Snapdragon X55 5G modem and SM8250 (Snapdragon 865) chipset.
The LinkedIn account also notes that this work is forVerizon. This lines up well with a recent OnePlus Launcher teardown byXDA-Developers, which revealed references to aOnePlus 8 Verizon edition.
The employee’s account doesn’t explicitly state that this is a OnePlus 8 series device though. But other listings on the account point to theOnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren(Snapdragon 855plus X55 modem) on T-Mobile and theOnePlus 7 Pro 5Gfor EE and Elisa (Snapdragon 855 Plusand X50 modem). So it certainly seems like an upcoming OnePlus device has a Snapdragon 865 chipset and Verizon support.
This news also comes after OnePlus CEO Pete Lau said the firm is“all-in” on 5G, but cautions that prices have risen compared to its 4G devices. Would you buy a more expensive OnePlus phone? Let us know in the comments!
