OnePlus 8 Pro goes through Geekbench as OnePlus 8 gets certified in India – GSMArena.com news – GSMArena.com
This year OnePlus is expected to launch three new models at once, a first in its relatively short history. The middle child, the OnePlus 8, has already scored a certification from the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) while its bigger sibling, the OnePlus 8 Pro, ran Geekbench.

The OnePlus 8 seems to carry a model number IN2011. Like the Pro, it will feature a quad-camera setup on its back. Here are renders of the three phones:

The OnePlus 8 Pro, aka IN2023, has an entry in the Geekbench 4 database. As the hardware and software are still in the early stages, we won’t focus on the result, but note that the phone ran Android 10 on a Snapdragon 865 chipset (“Kona”) with 12GB of RAM.

Yesterday, OnePlus unveiled its new 120Hz OLED display, which will likely be exclusive to the Pro, the other two should have 90Hz screens.
The OnePlus 8 Lite will have three cameras and may be the company’s first phone not to use a Qualcomm chipset – a MediaTek Dimensity 800 5G chipset is the name that gets thrown around in the rumor mill (the 1000 is also a possibility).

Important updates regarding the Bob-Birnie Arena
|
The City of Pointe-Claire would like to inform you that the Bob-Birnie arena will be closed for its annual maintenance as of Monday, April 29. The Annex rink will reopen to the public on Monday, May 13, and the arena’s Main rink will be accessible as of Monday, June 3.
Public skating will resume on May 13, and the summer public activities programming will begin on June 3 when both rinks have reopened to the public.
In addition to the annual maintenance of the facility, two renovation projects are also scheduled to start at the same time:
Installation of new sound systems
The City will be replacing its current sound systems in both the Main rink and Annex rink, to offer arena visitors a better overall experience, whether watching from the stands or participating in on-ice activities. This project is expected to be conducted throughout the month of May.
Renovation of locker rooms in the Main Rink
The City will also be renovating the five locker rooms located in the Main rink, to bring up to date the amenities currently available to participants. These renovations are expected to begin in early May and will be completed by mid-August.
For all information about the Bob-Birnie arena, visit the arena’s page on our website.

Surprise Apple Event Hints at First New iPads in Years – CNET
We haven’t seen a new iPad in years, but Apple seems likely to change that in just a few weeks. All signs point to the release of new iPad models in the first week of May.
This morning, I received an email invite for a virtual Apple event, scheduled for May 7 at 7 a.m. PT (10 a.m. ET). The invite, which says “Let Loose,” shows a drawing of a hand holding an Apple Pencil. Considering the iPad is the only device that uses the Pencil — that doesn’t leave much to the imagination.
Apple’s been expected to release new OLED-screened iPad Pros with newly designed Pencils and Magic Keyboard cases. New iPad Airs are also expected, including a larger-screened 12.9-inch model. Apple’s iPad Air lineup tends to be slightly redesigned versions of previous-model iPad Pros, so just look to the M2 iPad Pro lineup for a sense of what the next Airs could be. These would be the first new iPads since the iPad Pro M2 model arrived in late 2022.
