We’ve seen quite a few leaks over the past few weeks about the upcoming OnePlus flagship series, and we’ve learned that the company will be launching the OnePlus 9 series four weeks earlier than usual. The leaks also revealed that the company’s next-generation flagships will include three devices – the OnePlus 9, the OnePlus 9 Pro and the OnePlus 9E.
According to recent leaks, the OnePlus 9 and 9 Pro will be powered by Qualcomm’s latest flagship chipset – the Snapdragon 888. The devices have a new camera module design with updated camera hardware, and the OnePlus 9 contains 8 GB of RAM, 128 GB onboard storage, and a 4500mAh battery. The OnePlus 9E, or OnePlus 9 Lite, has the same hardware as the recently introduced OnePlus 8T, with a Snapdragon 865 SoC, a 90Hz or 120Hz AMOLED screen and 65W fast charging support.
Speaking of fast charging, the latest leak on OnePlus’ upcoming flagship suggests that the OnePlus 9 will also offer support for 65 W high-speed charging, along with 30 W fast wireless charging and reverse wireless charging support. A recent report from 91mobile substantiated these allegations with the close-up images of the OnePlus 9 screen showing the device “wireless charging” and a new “reverse charging” in the quick settings.
These images come from a trusted source, which further revealed that both the OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9 Pro offer 30W wireless charging support. The devices will also be the first from the company to support reverse wireless charging.
Although we will not yet receive any confirmation from OnePlus regarding the charging technology on its upcoming flagships, the information revealed by the latest leak seems quite plausible. This is due to the fact that a recent leak on OPPO’s upcoming flagship, the Find X3 Pro, indicates that the device will also offer support for 65 W fast charging and 30 W fast charging. Since OPPO and OnePlus share the same charging technologies, it makes sense for the latter to offer the same on its next generation of flagships.
