OnePlus 9/9 Pro: Everything we know! By 9to5Google

It's that time of the year again, OnePlus is giving up for another launch just five months on from the 8t. But here we go. Let's dive into some OnePlus 9 series rumors thanks for watching 95 google here on YouTube, remember to thumbs up, hit, subscribe and then tap the bell icon to be among the first to watch our upcoming videos, the OnePlus 8 pro and subsequent OnePlus word have been defining moments for the firm that has for years cultivated a plucky underdog. Moniker prices have risen dramatically with devices now available at the low end and the high end of the price spectrum. OnePlus ties with Oppo and fellow BBK owned firms are now more obvious than any other stage.2.2021 looks like it might be a big year for OnePlus, having shed co-founder Carl pay, it's going to be an interesting transition for the firm known for releasing so-called flagship killers. So let's talk models this time around there is a supposed budget device joining the crop of OnePlus mainline devices.

There will supposedly be an OnePlus 9r, OnePlus, 9 and OnePlus 9 pro all with distinct price points in mind. It's not clear just where the 9r will fit, though, in the growing list of affordable OnePlus devices launched since the word first hit shelves in mid 2020. Naturally, the OnePlus 9 pro will be the flagship in the early 2021 lineup, with all the top tier specifications and added extras, while the OnePlus 9 will likely provide some notable hardware improvements over the OnePlus 8t, which was released in late 2020. Oneplus hasn't been shy of remixing or changing up their design and fusing ideas from previous efforts. We know that there will be at least three models this time around, but the OnePlus 9 and 9 pro look to be on the receiving end of a refresh the OnePlus 8t introduced, an upper left domino style, rear camera setup for early 2021.

OnePlus looks to be using this method, but with a hint of a large ocular lens that apple added on the iPhone 11 series. Obviously there are a few tweaks and based upon leaks, the rumored camera setups will merge the domino and porthole style designs together in one unit at the front. Rumors also suggest that the OnePlus 9 pro will simply follow the design path set by the OnePlus 8 pro released in mid 2020. The standard OnePlus 9 is likely to straddle the OnePlus 8t and the OnePlus 9 pro in terms of hardware design, look and feel, whereas there is very little known about the OnePlus 9r, it's not even clear if this device will launch alongside the OnePlus, 9 and 9 pro and if it will be available in multiple regions with that said, though, expect display punch holes. The era of the pop-up camera was fairly short-lived, but likely a necessary step towards the full-blown under display.

Selfie camera we're not entirely sure just what the placement will be, but we'd wager a typical upper left position will be used again this time around expect the entire OnePlus 9 series to launch with oxygen OS 11, which itself is based upon android 11. We know exactly what to expect from the software, and that is quite the UI overhaul. If you were unaware oxygen, OS 11 has received a major lick of pain that you'll either love or hate Samsung's. One UI has been a major influence, but all of your favorite software features have been retained, including zen mode game, space plus tons more too in depth to fully list out hardware features might be an anomaly, at least until OnePlus starts ramping up the pre-launch teasers, although we would imagine that the OnePlus 9 pro will come with all the bells and whistles, including an ip68 water and dust resistance rating wireless charging and maybe a few other little intricacies that are not found elsewhere. That's not to say that some of these options will be completely missing from the standard OnePlus 9, given that the firm has held off adding wireless charging to mainline OnePlus series devices for so long.

Surely 2021 is the time to add it to the OnePlus 9. Rumors do suggest that the OnePlus 9 will finally add QI charging support, but it's highly likely that we'll be at a lower speed than the pro model for differentiation purposes. More features are likely to be added to the camera systems on all the OnePlus 9 series, although it's a fairly safe bet to assume that some tweaks will come to OxygenOS, 11, specifically tailored for the new device cohort, as is often the case, the OnePlus, 9 and OnePlus 9 pro are flagship phones and so will come with the highest end internals possible. Both phones are expected to opt for at least the latest snapdragon 888 chipsets, and will throw in a little extra high-end hardware as you'd expect. The OnePlus 9 pro model will be the marquee device and likely packing in a HD plus display with a 120hz refresh rate plenty of ram and even Hasselblad branded cameras.

Unlike last year with the modest OnePlus 8 upgrade over the OnePlus 7t, the OnePlus 9 is rumored to come with a 120hz refresh rate display. Although capture full HD plus much like the OnePlus 8t 65w charging wired charging will be available, and it may even come, as we mentioned, with wireless charging. This time around. An official, IP water and dust resistance rating has been a thought in the side of OnePlus hardware. For some time at least globally, only the OnePlus 8 pro has come with the enhanced device protection.

However, rumors suggest again that it will only be the OnePlus 8 pro coming with an ip68 rating this time around. It is disappointing, but we could have another situation, such as with the T-Mobile OnePlus 8t plus, which does include an ip68 rating for us buyers. At this stage, though, it's simply not clear, as for the OnePlus 9r specifications, well they're modest, to say the least, with a recent leak suggesting a 6.5 inch, full HD plus 90hz display Qualcomm snapdragon, 690, chipset, 8, gigabytes of ram and 128 gigabytes of internal storage option, while the battery is tipped to max out of 5 000 million powers. Those specifications alone point towards this handset being focused well within the entry-level market. OnePlus fans have clamored for a solid camera, set up on an OnePlus device for so long that it almost feels like a pipe dream.

At this stage. That's not to say previous efforts have been bad. The OnePlus 8 pro camera setup is very capable, but it isn't quite up to flagship standards, at least with regard to post-processing rumors suggested a big camera shake-up with the OnePlus 9 series and recent leaks will give long-time fans some real hope. A proposed partnership between Hasselblad and OnePlus looks to bring code developed lenses to the OnePlus, 9 and 9 pro. This doesn't immediately mean the camera results will take a step-up, but if the partnership pans out like the Huawei Lacey team, we might see some massive improvements, whether they simply end up providing the glass is a valid concern.

However, we'd expect some interesting software related extras that maybe have some trademark Hasselblad looks or something similar to the mass both effects found on Nokia devices. It's anyone's guess at this stage, but it will be an interesting partnership to say the least. A recent OnePlus camera build even hinted at a few upcoming features, including a tilt shift mode tilt shift. Photography is basically an effect that changes the entire plane of focus of an image with results that resemble miniatures and models. It's a unique option that at least as far as we can tell has never been possible on a smartphone before the effect can be added with software, but there could be some neat hardware effects, helping achieve it on the OnePlus 9 series, other rumored inclusions as part of the OnePlus 9 camerae set up unearthed by a recent OnePlus camera teardown include starburst hyperlapse and a now teased moon mode.

The starburst option looks like it will turn light sources into a start, shape that might make it a cool option for light sources blurred by both. Further there's also a mention of focus, peaking filters for the shooting mode, which would highlight what's in focus, there's also a useful feature for more artistic shots, while the moon mode looks like it may assist in taking better shots of the night sky and the hyperlapse mode is a new version of time-lapse, specifically designed for clips with more movement that entry-level OnePlus 9r is set to come with a 64 megapixel main camera center at the rear, with an 8 megapixel wide-angle lens also likely joining. It's not clear, though, at this stage what else might be packed in but expect something akin to a macro lens to join what is a fairly modest camera setup in recent years, OnePlus has produced some of the best colors on any smartphones out there, the cm for color material finish ethos may be overblown, but it's hard to deny that there is a real attention to detail in the color schemes of OnePlus devices. This time around OnePlus is set to up the ante yet again, with even more color options for the OnePlus 9 series than ever before. The developers of the fantastic oxygen updater recently found evidence in a supposed engineering mode, APK of the color lineup for the OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9 pro.

If this information is indeed accurate, we will see some color options only available in global markets, while T-Mobile and Verizon will offer a limited selection in the US. The OnePlus 9 will supposedly be available in Castro black arctic sky and winter mist. There's also evidence of a Verizon exclusive gloss, black and gloss gradient purple models, while the OnePlus 9 pro will be available in stellar black forest screen and morning mist. The actual launch date, at least at this stage, is not yet concrete, but a teaser has been dropped with March 8 being the rumored date in which we'll learn more about the OnePlus 9 series. There are plenty of theories on the actual shipping date for devices with some pointing towards mid to late March, which would be far earlier than in recent years.

Recent evidence also points to full global availability. This time around with the US getting two distinct variants from T-Mobile and Verizon, these devices will likely have some different 5g and LTE band support for us-based buyers, while the rest of the world gets generic GSM frequency band support, whatever the actual release date expect to be able to order a device, hopefully by the end of March. Let's make some pretty safe assumptions about the OnePlus 9 series pricing, though the OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 7 series help give us a fairly solid ballpark about how this upcoming duo will be priced. We expect the OnePlus 9 to be in the 599 dollars to 699 dollar range, while the OnePlus 9 pro will likely push towards that 999 or a thousand dollar barrier as the out-and-out flagship of this generation. As for the proposed OnePlus 9r, this is likely an affordable option destined only for specific regions.

We'd imagine it will come in under 299 dollars below the OnePlus word series. This is, of course, one specific area of the OnePlus lineup that is becoming very crowded, with multiple devices competing against each other and releases all pretty stacked with. That said, though, we want to open up the floor to you what, beyond the leaks and even including the leaks, would you like to see come launch day, we're now on countdown to the as yet unknown release date to get to see the OnePlus, 9 and 9 pro in the flesh for the first time be sure to let us know in the comments section below what you are hoping for, or not hoping for to see from this hardware duo or trio as it were, what would the OnePlus 9 series rooms? Are you excited or disappointed by and be sure to keep it civil, but until next time this is Damian with ninety-five google saying thanks for watching, and I will speak to you later? You.
