• Here’s a look at what we know about the OnePlus 10 series so far.

OnePlus is expected to launch its next flagship smartphone series ‘OnePlus 10’ soon. At least two smartphones are more or less confirmed according to multiple leaks and rumours — OnePlus 10 and OnePlus 10 Pro. There’s no official announcement or teaser yet but we already have quite a lot of information from leaks and rumours.

Here’s what to expect from the upcoming OnePlus flagship-

OnePlus 10 launch date

OnePlus usually launches its flagship smartphones sometime around April, and the same is expected for the OnePlus 10 series. But this time we could see an early launch for the OnePlus 10 series in January 2022. This will however be a China launch, and the global event will take place in March or April.

OnePlus 10 design

The OnePlus 10 Pro could go through some serious design change at least in the camera department if leaks are to be believed. The most distinct change would be the large triple camera setup at the back which takes up almost one half of the phone. There are three sensors along with the LED flash in a flat but very large square-shaped camera module. These are only what rumours and leaked renders have revealed so the final design might be more appealing.

The regular OnePlus 10 smartphone could continue with a similar design as its predecessors. Some leaks also suggest both the OnePlus 10 and 10 Pro will look quite similar to the OnePlus 9 series.

OnePlus 10 display

Leaked renders also reveal a curved edge-to-edge display on the OnePlus 10 Pro with a punch-hole camera for selfies. In terms of specs, the smartphone is said to feature a 6.7-inch QHD+ display with a 120Hz refresh rate. There are no details yet on the OnePlus 10’s display.

OnePlus 10 camera

Going by the leaks and renders, the OnePlus 10 series is expected to feature a triple rear camera setup with the Hasselblad branding. As for the specs, the OnePlus 10 Pro is rumoured to sport a 48-megapixel primary sensor, a 50-megapixel ultra wide angle lens, and an 8-megapixel telephoto lens. For selfies, it will feature a 32-megapixel front camera. This is the same camera setup that is available on the OnePlus 9 Pro which means that we might not see an upgrade.

Processor, battery and storage

A very recent leak suggests the OnePlus 10 Pro will be powered by the upcoming Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen1 chipset. It is also said to be one of the first phones launching with this chipset along with Xiaomi and Motorola. The smartphone is also rumoured to pack a 5,000mAh battery with support for 125W fast charging support which would be a first and a major upgrade.

We can expect the OnePlus 10 series to launch in at least two configurations of 8GB RAM plus 128GB storage and 12GB RAM plus 256GB storage.

OnePlus 10 software

The OnePlus 10 series will launch with the new OxygenOS 12 which is a unified version of the software with Oppo’s ColorOS. Following the two companies’ merger, a new OS was announced and while OnePlus assured that it would continue delivering the light and clean OxygenOS experience, reviews suggest otherwise.
