About a month ago, a leaker revealed that OnePlus was working with German camera giant, Leica, on the cameras for the OnePlus 9 series. Now, another leaker says that the info is false.
OnePlus has said that it is investing in improving the camera performance of its phones. However, no specific details were provided by the CEO, Pete Lau, but the rumor about them working with Leica, which has gotten fans excited, may not be true.
Max Jambor, the tech journalist that also doubles as a leaker tweeted that the info about a OnePlus partnership with Leica for the OnePlus 9 series is false. However, the leaker that said they are maintains that it is true.
I don't know who started this rumor, but OnePlus is NOT in a partnership with Leica regarding the OnePlus 9 Series cameras.
This rumor is false. I wanted to get this cleared as I have read about it multiple times now.

There is no concrete evidence that the OnePlus 9 will or will not feature Leica technology but we also can’t rule out the possibility that OnePlus may have developed a prototype phone that has camera technology from the German company. Surely, a partnership with a camera company is not a necessity for having the best camera in the market.
Regardless of what the true situation is, we look forward to seeing how the OnePlus 9 series holds up in terms of camera performance against other phones that will launch this year and those that have already been announced.
The OnePlus 9 series will have three models according to leaks and we expect the top-end model, which should launch as the OnePlus 9 Pro, to be the one with the best camera of all.
The phones are expected to arrive this quarter. The OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9 Pro are said to have Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 888 chipset while the third model, rumored to launch as the OnePlus 9 Lite, is said to have the Snapdragon 865 processor from last year.
