Qualcomm is all set to launch its next-generation flagship smartphone chipset in a couple of days at its Tech Summit. This time, the company is also changing the naming scheme and the chipset will be called Snapdragon 8 Gen1 instead of Snapdragon 898.
Now, as per the latest report, the OnePlus 10 Pro will be among the first smartphones to come powered by this new flagship chipset. With this news, the Chinese company joins the list of Xiaomi and Motorola which are already reported to be the first to launch a device powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen1 SoC.
Unlike its predecessors, the OnePlus 10 series phones will be launched in January, at least in the Chinese market. In this scenario, it will be among the first smartphones to come powered by the upcoming Qualcomm flagship chipset.
However, the global launch of the OnePlus 10 series smartphones is set to take place in March or April, in line with the previous launches. Not just the chipset, key specifications of the device have already been leaked online.
As per the reports, the phone will feature a 6.7-inch curved Quad HD+ AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and a single punch-hole on the left side of the screen. It is expected to pack 8GB or 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 128GB or 256GB of UFS 3.1 internal storage, with support for a microSD card slot for expanding the capacity.
In the camera department, the OnePlus 10 Pro will feature a Hasselblad-branded triple-camera setup on the back consisting of a 48-megapixel wide sensor, a 50-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens, and an 8-megapixel telephoto lens.
On the front side, the device will have a 32-megapixel front-facing snapper which is an upgrade compared to the usual 16-megapixel snapper. It is said to be running the latest Android 12 operating system with OxygenOS 12 and comes powered by a 5,000Amh battery with support for 125W fast charging.
