Bookings for the much-awaited OnePlus 10 Pro are now open in China, according to an official post on Weibo, meaning it shouldn’t take much longer for the flagship phone to become available globally as well.

Pre-sale will be going live at 10 o’clock (2 am) on January 4th in China and bookings are totally free of cost. Registration will even grant you a gift pack worth 1000 Yuan or around $157, so there’s that.

Previously, Pete Lau, chief product officer of OPPO and CEO of OnePlus, announced that the OnePlus 10 Pro will be going live in January 2022. Rumors had earlier set a January 5th release date but it has now been officially confirmed to be a day earlier. We aren’t complaining though, since the sooner, the better.

There is no word on the launch of the vanilla model at the event but it’s quite obvious now that it will be unveiled sometime after the Pro variant.

In a Weibo post, the OnePlus CEO had also recently revealed that the OnePlus 10 Pro will come with an LTPO 2.0 display which should result in better battery life. LTPO tech was developed by Apple and allows a more flexible refresh rate ranging between 1Hz and 120Hz. Other display specs include a size of 6.7-inches, QHD+ resolution, and that it would be manufactured by Samsung.

In the camera department, the smartphone will have a triple-camera setup on the rear, comprised of a 48-megapixel primary sensor, a 50-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens, and an 8-megapixel lens with 3x optical zoom support.

Following the release of the OnePlus 9 and 9 Pro flagship smartphones this year, the OPPO-backed company is now preparing to unveil the OnePlus 10 Pro, its next-generation flagship smartphone. While the only info about its release at hand currently was that it will be next year, a tipster has now provided an actual launch timeline.

The alleged timeline shows that the OnePlus 10 Pro will be hitting the Chinese market in either January or February. This will be followed by a global launch a month or so later in either March or April.

The info sits in line with a recent report saying that the OnePlus 10 series phones have entered the private testing phase in Europe and China, and that they are expected to launch in late January or early February 2022.

It is worth mentioning here that the current-gen OnePlus 9 phones were launched in April this year. Thus, if OnePlus indeed picks a January release date, it will mean the launch of a new iteration in less than a year. The hurry can be owed to the fact that OnePlus has not released any T-variants of their OnePlus 9 series smartphones this year, except for the RT variant in China.

The OnePlus 10 series is expected to feature the upcoming top-of-the-line Snapdragon 898 SoC, paired with up to 12GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. Some leaks had also recently revealed that that the camera module at the back houses three camera sensors and an LED flash, placed in a 2×2 grid.

Further, the OnePlus 10 Pro is expected to sport a 6.7-inch 1440p display with a 120Hz refresh rate.
