OnePlus unveiled a set of new smartphones this year. Everything started with the expected OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro. The company then moved on with the release of a premium mid-range phone dubbed OnePlus Nord. It came with decent specifications and 5G connectivity. It’s considered a mid-range phone, but it isn’t as affordable as other devices in this segment. Still, it’s cheaper than the OnePlus 8 family. Back in the last month, the company gave the definitive step to becoming a brand that releases more than just premium smartphones. It released the OnePlus Nord N10 5G that is a budget 5G handset, a cost-effective OnePlus Nord N100 with LTE. The company also unveiled the OnePlus 8T, which serves as a mid-brother for the OnePlus 8 series. This year, we won’t have a T Pro smartphones. Apparently, this is due to the fact that the OnePlus 9 will be released a little bit earlier than usual.

That will be on par with the new design language introduced with the OnePlus 8T. The vanilla OP9 will have a flat display and will be a bit larger than the 8T. Moreover, the phone will bring a 120Hz refresh rate, which nowadays is mandatory for flagships. After all, there are even mid-range phones shipping with this refresh rate. Other specifications will include NFC.
