The OnePlus 10 Pro should actually arrive today. Instead, the company only confirmed the actual start date with several teasers. The next flagship will be unveiled on January 11 at 2 p.m. Chinese time. The news was accompanied by a series of images that were shared on the Chinese manufacturer’s OnePlus website and social media channels. They confirm the design of the back with a square camera module on the left, which holds three cameras and a ring flash.
Pete Lau, Co-founder and CEO of OnePlus, said in a long post that the pure technical data is not the most important thing in the new model. These would only form the basis of a smartphone. A flagship must also show an excellent performance. The whole thing is a nod to the fact that OnePlus will rely on features that improve the efficiency of the 10 Pro. In some scenarios, this might also include chipset throttling, also known as “optimization mode”. OnePlus received a lot of criticism for this last year and was even from at times Geekbench has been blocked.
There are no official data for the OnePlus 10 Pro yet. Next to one Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset a 50 megapixel main camera should also be installed. The battery should be able to be charged by cable with 80 watts and wirelessly with 50 watts. The LTPO-2.0-Display will likely be 6.7 inches tall and resolve 1440p.
Year following year, three generations of OnePlus flagships consisted of a basic and a pro model. So far, the rumors regarding the upcoming series have mainly centered on a OnePlus 10 Pro. An entry-level model with a lower price tag might have a stripped-down camera setup and slower loading speeds without wireless charging.
Since the websites are available worldwide, next Tuesday the prices should not only be in CNY, but also in US dollars and euros including the Availability dates be made known.
