If you're interested in buying one of these devices when they go on sale in April, here's everything you need to know.

What color and storage sizes are available?

The OnePlus 8 will be available in glacial green, interstellar glow, and a Verizon-exclusive polar silver, while the OnePlus 8 Pro will come in glacial green, onyx black, and ultramarine blue. You can get either phone with 8GB of memory and 128GB of storage or 12GB of memory and 256GB of storage. There is no difference in price per color, but there is for more storage and RAM.
