OnePlus CEO Pete Lau has confirmed that the company’s next-generation devices will be powered by the flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor. While he did not explicitly mention the OnePlus 10 series as part of the announcement post, it is quite obvious that the company’s upcoming flagship series will be equipped with the same.
Pete Lau then went on to say that OnePlus’ software and hardware development resources are focused on optimizing the Snapdragon processor as much as possible, which should result in a highly optimized software experience.
Unlike its predecessors, the OnePlus 10 series phones will be launched in January, at least in the Chinese market. This will make it one of the very first to feature the flagship Qualcomm chipset. A global launch is expected only in March or April though, in line with previous launches.
As for specs, the OnePlus 10 Pro is expected to 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. Its flagship chipset will be supported by 8GB or 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 128GB or 256GB of UFS 3.1 internal storage.
In the camera department, the OnePlus 10 Pro will feature a Hasselblad triple-lens setup consisting of a 48-megapixel wide sensor, a 50-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens, and an 8-megapixel telephoto lens.
The design of the device will likely be going through some big changes this year with the rear camera module getting a significant size boost, renders suggest. The rear cameras will be housed within a squarish module aligned to the left.
