I think new Paperwhite will have 8GB storage, Bluetooth, the faster processor of Oasis 2, and maybe flush screen. No buttons or adaptive light, maybe same W & H dimensions as Voyage and Kindle (8th gen) and therefore a little lighter.
It would be interesting if Kindle (8th gen) got a refresh - still no front light but at least 8GB storage and maybe higher resolution screen. I think that for some reason they want to push this Audible feature, and while that is promised for Kindle (8th gen) it lacks storage to handle very much of that content. I find the text (in good lighting) more contrast-y than my Paperwhite 3 (no light guide and capacitative layer in the way) and it is a good value for the price (often as little as $50). Until Oasis 2 perhaps it was the thing to take to the beach and not worry about damaging it.
