Rumors are currently pointing towards two new OnePlus phones coming on April 14 with a third one to follow later on. The one to be possibly delayed is the alleged Lite variant to this year"s flagship lineup. And now a new report claims to have its name - instead of 8 Lite it will called OnePlus Z.

This in turn means that the OnePlus Z is going to be more of a mid-range handset rather than an affordable flagship. It"s in line with the report saying it will use a MediaTek Dimensity SoC instead of the flagship Snapdragon 865. And the news was confirmed two separate sources so it seems pretty plausible.
