The OnePlus 9 series is said to debut in multiple countries on March 23 at 10:00 AM ET and March 24 at 2 PM Beijing Time in China. The launch event will include four products – OnePlus 9, OnePlus 9 Pro, OnePlus 9R(for India), and the OnePlus Watch. Let’s take a look at the expected specs, features, and prices of the OnePlus 9 devices ahead of launch.

OnePlus 9 series- What’s New?

Unlike the past, OnePlus has built quite the hype for the OnePlus 9 series cameras with the announcement of the Hasselblad partnership. The company will jointly develop natural color calibration with the Swedish camera maker. This partnership will continue for the next three-years as OnePlus invests about $150 million in its R&D labs situated around the world.

Talking about the design, high-quality renders show a revamped camera layout. We see the Hasselblad branding on both the models suggesting that the above-mentioned software tech could be available for both.

Either way, the camera layout gets a more refined finish as compared to the OnePlus 8T. Specifically, it looks like OnePlus has taken inspiration from the OPPO Reno series of smartphones.

However, unlike OPPO, the camera lenses inside are stacked in varying sizes. The OnePlus 9 Pro has quad-cameras while the non-Pro is said to stick with the triple-camera setup. The devices will launch in the following colors:

• OnePlus 9
  • Colors- Arctic Sky, Astral Black, Winter Mist.

• OnePlus 9 Pro
  • Colors- Stellar Black(sandstone-like finish), Forest Green, and Morning Mist(Silver)[2]*

As for the OnePlus 9R, the third device would be a first in the series [5](and launch in countries like India) as the OnePlus flagship lineup traditionally featured a standard and a Pro variant (if we exclude the special editions). The device is expected to feature a Snapdragon 870 chipset and provide a flagship experience at a more affordable price.

As per known tipster Mukul Sharma (@StuffListings) on Twitter, the OnePlus 9 lineup might be unveiled on the 23rd of this month. This goes against previous reports and indications from the Chinese tech giant, which is expected to announce the new smartphones on 8th March 2021. In other words, this appears to be just speculation at the moment. So take this report with a pinch of salt for now.

Talking about the upcoming series, the company is expected to launch three new models within the OnePlus 9 series, including the base version, a Pro variant, and another new addition, which will either be called the OnePlus 9r or 9E. The third variant might even be called the OnePlus 9 Lite. Unfortunately, the official name is still currently unknown and we will have to wait for an official company announcement to know for sure.

In terms of specs, the Pro is expected to arrive with a 6.7 inch Fluid AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. It will have a Snapdragon 888 processor that is paired with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. The ‘Lite’ variant, on the other hand, may feature a Snapdragon 865 chipset, along with 1080p 90Hz display, a 64MP primary camera sensor with an 8MP ultra wide, 5,000mAh battery, 8GB RAM and 128GB storage. So, stay tuned for more updates regarding the upcoming flagship lineup and its launch, which we will be covering as well.

The post OnePlus 9 series might launch on March 23: Leak appeared first on Gizmochina.

OnePlus 9 is expected to launch three smartphones under the OnePlus 9 series next month. While the regular variants will mostly be called OnePlus 9, OnePlus 9 Pro, the naming of the third one has been changing constantly. Now, a leak from renowned tipster Evan Blass suggests that it could be called OnePlus 9R.

Posted on Voice, Evan Blass’s leak shows what could be a code from the developmental firmware of the device. It shows the ‘OnePlus 9r‘ moniker. Back in November 2020, reliable OnePlus tipster Max Jambor had revealed that third the device of the OnePlus 9 series would be named as OnePlus 9E.

Later, Android Central came up with their exclusive saying that OnePlus would call it the OnePlus 9 Lite. Evan Blass now looks to be pretty confident about the naming as he says “Goodbye, OnePlus 9E/SE/Lite”.

However, tipster Max expresses his doubts on the naming. Whether the OnePlus 9R naming turns out true or not, it looks like a third device from OnePlus is indeed on the cards. Regarding the specs of this device, Android Central had said that it would debut with Snapdragon 865 chipset.

A leak regarding the other specs of this third device has been doing the rounds lately. It says that the device would get a 6.5-inch 1080p 90Hz display, a 64MP primary camera sensor with an 8MP ultra-wide, 5,000mAh battery, 8GB RAM & 128GB storage.

However, Max and other tipsters have slashed them as fake. Either way, OnePlus is expected to price this watered-down variant around $600 while the OnePlus 9 could debut around $800. Let’s wait for some concrete info to get an idea on the third device.

The post OnePlus 9R could be the third device in the OnePlus 9 series appeared first on Gizmochina.

OnePlus is expected to unveil the OnePlus 9 series of Smartphones next month. Ahead of the launch, new features of the device have been appearing on the radar of leaks. Today, one such has been spilled again by Tipster Max Jambor.

Max, in a Tweet, has posted an image that says that ‘LTPO’ along with ‘9 Pro’ clearly stating that the Pro variant will have an LTPO display. If you don’t know,  LTPS is Low-Temperature Polysilicon while the LTPO is Low-Temperature Polycrystalline Oxide.

In the LTPO display, the backplane has IGZO(Indium gallium zinc oxide) that saves power by about 5-15% compared to the ones on LTPS panels. Also, this backplane allows the OEMs to dynamically change the refresh rates of the displays better.

This means the UI can intelligently manage the battery by varying the display refresh rates and also help in Always-on situations. Let’s just hope that OnePlus avoids battery drain and issues like the Green Tint on the OnePlus 9 Pro to their level best.

Regarding the specs, the OnePlus 9 Pro should get an AMOLED QHD+ display with 6.78-inches, curved sides, and a 120Hz refresh rate. It is expected to be powered by Qualcomm  Snapdragon 888 chipset, Quad-Cameras with Hasselblad partnership, up to 12GB RAM, 256 GB storage, and OxygenOS 11 based on Android 11.

The non-Pro OnePlus 9 will likely have a slightly smaller 6.55-inch AMOLED display,  Snapdragon 870 SoC, Triple-Cameras with 48MP Sony IMX689, and a 48MP ultra-wide lens, 16MP selfie camera.

Both the OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9 Pro are said to have a 4,500mAh battery. While the Charging tech is yet to be confirmed, Max has already claimed that the devices will come with a charger inside the box.
