OnePlus was supposed to launch a phone powered by a MediaTek processor last year but that never happened. Now, a new leak has revealed the specs of a new OnePlus phone in development that is powered by MediaTek’s top-of-the-line chip – the Dimensity 1200. And it seems this device is for the global market.
The unnamed OnePlus phone is reported to have a punch hole in the top left corner of the screen for the front-facing camera. It also has a high screen-to-body ratio.
According to Digital Chat Station, the source who revealed the details, the phone has a camera housing similar to that of the OnePlus 9 Pro. However, instead of a second camera at the bottom right, there is an LED flash. The primary camera is revealed to be the Sony IMX766, the sensor the OnePlus 9 Pro uses for its 50MP ultrawide angle camera.
The rest of the specs are unknown but he adds that the device runs OxygenOS which can be inferred to mean this OnePlus phone is getting a global release since OnePlus phones sold in China, beginning with the OnePlus 9 series launched this year, run ColorOS. However, we can’t rule out the possibility of the existence of a Chinese variant.
With respect to price, the source says that the Dimensity 1200-powered OnePlus phone fits into the ¥2000 price range which converts to about ~$312. We expect it to cost a bit more in other markets but should still fall in the $400 category.
There is still a lot we do not know about this device and when it will launch, but we will let you know once we have more details.
