5 Things We Know About The OnePlus 9 Series Before Its Launch Sometime Next Month


ADMIN

67 views

OnePlus didn’t really launch a new flagship smartphone last year apart from the OnePlus 8 Pro which means all eyes are on the next event for the OnePlus 9 Series. OnePlus devices are known to use the best hardware possible for their smartphones and offer them at an affordable price point that not many other companies can do. However, the company has been increasing the price of its flagship devices year on year due to costlier components, but it is still an affordable flagship to own especially since Samsung and Apple devices cost far more. Having said that, the OnePlus 9 Series is shaping up to be yet another flagship offering by the company and much of it has been leaked online. Here’s everything we know about the OnePlus 9 Series so far:

1. Flagship Components

The OnePlus 9 Pro was spotted in the subway by onlookers which also captured the 'about' page of the smartphone. The 'about' page on OnePlus phones generally reveals all the hardware one can find in the device and from the leaked image it appears the smartphone will be using the Snapdragon 888 chipset. It is Qualcomm’s latest flagship chip that is said to rival Apple’s A14 Bionic SoC. It is also Qualcomm’s first processor that was manufactured using a 5nm fabrication process which means it packs more transistors than ever before. Much like any OnePlus flagship phone, the latest model is expected to be super fast and more efficient than its predecessor. The phone is also rumoured to be paired with up to 12GB of RAM and 256GB of internal memory.  

2. Speedy Display

The OnePlus 9 Pro is rumoured to have a 6.55-inch FHD+ AMOLED panel with a 120Hz refresh rate. This doesn’t come as a surprise since the OnePlus 8 Pro also came with a 120Hz refresh rate and it would be logical for the company to have the same feature on the OnePlus 9 Pro as well. What remains to be seen is what type of AMOLED display the smartphone will be using. Recent leaks suggest the phone might use an LTPO AMOLED display similar to the Galaxy S21 Series. OnePlus phones also do not have any adaptive refresh rate feature like other flagship devices which could change with this model if OnePlus chooses to use an LTPO display.

3. Multiple Cameras

The OnePlus 9 Pro is expected to ship with a 48-megapixel primary camera, a 48-megapixel ultrawide sensor and a third sensor we don’t know much about. A previous leak also showed that the company may also have a partnership with camera company Hasselblad as the branding for the company was present on the camera module. For selfie enthusiasts, the OnePlus 9 Pro is expected to feature a 16-megapixel sensor as well. Having said that, it would be interesting to see if OnePlus has managed to improve its image quality since the OnePlus 8 Pro’s camera performance isn’t even comparable to budget smartphones right now. 

4. Battery

OnePlus has been known to feature its proprietary WarpCharge fast charging feature on all of its phones and the case remains the same with the OnePlus 9 Pro as well. The phone is expected to have a 4,500mAh battery that can be fast-charged at 65W. The phone will also support power delivery fast charging. Interestingly enough, there are no rumours of the phone featuring any form of wireless charging but judging from the OnePlus 8 Pro, it will probably make a return. OnePlus also uses its own fast wireless charging feature which is compatible with its first-party wireless charger. 

5. Multiple Models

Much like every OnePlus series, the OnePlus 9 will also feature multiple models, however this time around we might see three models by the company. Rumours suggest the OnePlus 9 Series is expected to launch with the nomenclature OnePlus 9, OnePlus 9 Pro and OnePlus 9 Lite. The OnePlus 9 should ideally sit between the two other smartphones where the “Lite” version might be the cheapest variant with different hardware.
