OnePlus nowadays is below Oppo’s influence as the companies merged in the last year. It’s natural to see changes, and we actually saw the first early this year when the OnePlus 10 Pro was released in China. It was much ahead of the OnePlus usual schedule, and the device appeared alone. After a few months, it was unveiled in global markets. The company expanded the lineup back in the last month with the OnePlus 10R, but it’s a rebranded OnePlus Ace which is also a rebranded Realme GT Neo 3. Now, there are rumors about a vanilla OnePlus 10 and even a OnePlus 10 Ultra. The latter will mark the brand’s entrance into the range of “Ultra” flagships, the super-premium devices.
So the OnePlus Ultra flagship is getting into testing phase, focus on cameras & SD 8 Gen 1+
OnePlus 10 – D9000/SD 8 Gen 1 (depending on market)
D8000 and SD888 in more Mid-range phones like Nord series
7 Gen 1 phone being planned.
Complicated timelines & products overall
