With the OnePlus 10 series launch being just around the corner, a new report has surfaced which hints at one of the variants in the flagship lineup. Apparently, the company will be launching one model within its latest high end series that features the MediaTek Dimensity 9000 SoC.
The news arrives from MySmartPrice and known tipster Yogesh Brar. As of right now, the Chinese smartphone maker has yet to announce the exact launch dates for its upcoming flagship phones, although, it is rumored to first unveil the Pro variant on 11th January 2022 while the vanilla model would launch sometime after. But now, the new tip revealed a key specification of the base variant.
For those unaware, MediaTek had recently unveiled its top end mobile processor for premium handsets. It features a 1+3+4 cluster and is based on a 4nm process, with a maximum clock speed of 3.0GHz on its most powerful core. So while the OnePlus 10 Pro is set to be among the first flagship smartphones to feature the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset, it appears that the base model will be one of the first to ship with the Dimensity 9000 processor.
Notably, the tipster further added that OnePlus will soon begin testing the new smartphones with its unified operating system with Oppo for the global markets. With both companies merging, the new devices would likely ship with a Android 12 based ColorOS 12 or OxygenOS 12 out of the box. Keep in mind that this is still an unconfirmed report so take it with a pinch of salt and stick around as we will be covering any other leaks or reports regarding this matter.
