Verizon's OnePlus 8 will cost more, but features unique support for mmWave 5G

Available for $800 starting April 29

First was T-Mobile in 2018. Then came Sprint last year. Now, Verizon is carrying its first OnePlus phone for sale. The OnePlus 8 5G UW — yep, that's the name Big Red's going with — will be available to buy from April 29 for $800. But unlike any other model of OnePlus 8, this one will be the only one to support millimeter wave 5G.

In the U.S., the unlocked models have modems outfitted to work on 5G bands n2, n5, n66, n71, and n41 — those band numbers correlate to their LTE band equivalents (which the devices also supports) and share the same regions of frequencies: 1900MHz, 850MHz, 1700MHz, 600MHz, and 2500MHz.
