Week 16 in review: Apple iPhone SE (2020), OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro are here

Week 16 saw a few key announcements that will play an important role in shaping the market going forward.

The long-awaited OnePlus 8 Pro and OnePlus 8 were unveiled - the Pro getting an official IP68 rating, wireless charging and a higher screen refresh rate, the 8 getting a new design and dropping the telephoto camera. They go on sale this week, starting at $699/£599/€699 for the OnePlus 8 and $899/£799/€899 for the OnePlus 8 Pro.

Then Apple stole OnePlus' thunder with the announcement of the iPhone SE (2020). Largely based on the iPhone 8 from the distant year 2017 the new most affordable iPhone offers the latest A13 Bionic chipset and a better camera. The new iPhone SE will starts at $399/€479 when it launches on April 24 and we have no doubts people will buy many a unit.

A word on the upcoming iPhone 12, coming later this year, it's rumored to make a return to the flat sides and squarer looks of the iPhone 5s. It's also rumored to have a smaller notch and that the Max will have a larger 6.7-inch display.

Honor also dropped its flagship trio this week. The Honor 30, Honor 30 Pro and Honor 30 Pro+ all have OLED displays, 4,000mAh batteries and periscope telephoto cameras. The 30 Pro+ is by far the most exciting with a 50MP main camera (the one from the Huawei P40 series) and a Kirin 990 chipset.

All three devices will start selling in China on April 21.
