OnePlus 9 Series May Launch as Early as March 2021: Report
Oct. 21, 2020Last week, OnePlus launched theOnePlus 8Twith a Snapdragon 865 chipset, 120Hz display, and 65W Warp charging. While early customers are either waiting or have just received their OnePlus 8T units, anew rumor hints that the OnePlus 9 series will launch earlier than expected.
Although OnePlus skipped the Pro variant with OnePlus 8T,we could expect the company to launch the OnePlus 9 Pro. Even the codename above hints at the existence of the OnePlus 9 Pro.
The exact specifications of the OnePlus 9 series remain unknown for now. We could expect Warp Charge 65, official IP rating, wireless charging, and Qualcomm’s upcoming 5nmSnapdragon 875chipset along with improvements to the camera sensors.
This rumored shift in the launch timeline will give OnePlus more flexibility in selling its regular 9 series before the inevitable T refresh towards the end of the year. However, moving the launch of the OnePlus 9 series ahead will make the recently-launchedOnePlus 8Tless appealing.
