Over the past couple of years, we have become accustomed to the fact that manufacturers have begun to postpone the release of smartphones. The most popular reasons for delayed releases are the pandemic and the chip shortages. Against this background, it is quite surprising to see how a number of companies decided to accelerate and in 2022 will release their flagships ahead of schedule. OnePlus is among such manufacturers.
Earlier, we reported with reference to insiders that the OnePlus series will be released in January and the residents of China will be the first to buy it. The global announcement of new products should be expected with a delay of two months. The fact that the premiere of the OnePlus 10 line will take place much earlier than expected was confirmed by the head of the company last week. He named January as the release time for the OnePlus 10.
Chances are the OnePlus 10 series will debut on the same day with the Realme GT 2 Pro
Gizchina News of the week
And it looks like we won’t have to wait long for the premiere. Chinese manufacturers will start bombarding us with new products from the first days of 2022. Today, information was leaked to the network that as early as January 4 of next year; the company intends to begin accepting pre-orders for the OnePlus 10 Pro. This means that the presentation of the OnePlus 10 series may take place on the same day; or it will be held within a week from the start of accepting pre-orders. If the release takes place on January 4; then today or tomorrow the company will have to officially confirm the upcoming presentation.
So, rumors point us to the OnePlus 10 Pro getting a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip, a proprietary ColorOS 12 shell (outside of China OxygenOS 12) based on Android 12; up to 12GB of RAM and up to 512GB of storage. Also, the smartphone will have a 6.7-inch AMOLED panel with a 120Hz refresh rate and LTPO 2.0 technology, a 5000mAh battery with 80W fast charging, and IP68 water protection. In addition, the main camera should be triple 48 Mp + 50 Mp (super wide) + 8 Mp (telephoto).
It is known that the OnePlus Nord 2 CE is preparing for the release; which should be a slightly simplified version of the OnePlus Nord 2. Early rumors spoke in favor of the fact that the new product will debut in January next year. But new information suggests that the release was postponed to another time. So, information came that the smartphone announcement will take place in earlier February.
