The OnePlus 9 and 9 Pro will be launched on March 23, but of course we might as well learn everything there is to know about the phones ahead of time, thanks to leaks. The latest details that became known early on revolve around the colors. WinFuture has tracked down some versions of the OnePlus flagships, and some of the designs certainly look familiar.
The versions show us the two OnePlus 9 devices (Pro and Normal) from all sides and in different color variants. Like its predecessors, the OnePlus 9 Series will have a self-timer camera in the upper left corner of the screen. While the more advanced Pro model includes four sensors on its Hasselblad camera range, the regular variant has only three. WinFuture says that the luxury phone will be equipped with the Sony IMX766 and the Sony IMX789 sensors, offering a resolution of up to 50 and 48MP. It looks like there will be a laser autofocus as well.
The OnePlus 9 Pro.
In terms of design, it seems we’re looking at a total of three colors for the OnePlus 9 Pro. There is a silver variant that leaked earlier, an emerald / dark green version and a matte black version that certainly looks like it was inspired by Samsung’s Galaxy S21 Ultra. However, a close-up look at this black model (first image in this post) shows that it is endowed with a gripping, rough texture – a return to the sandstone design that made OnePlus phones so unique in the past?
The OnePlus 9.
The regular OnePlus 9 also comes in a black color variant, but it looks like it was made of smooth glass or plastic. There is also a blue version, and a violet reminds me of the S21’s two-tone color “Thanos” version.
In addition to the versions, WinFuture also got some hardware details. For the OnePlus 9 Pro, we look at a 6.7-inch OLED screen with curved sides, making the company one of the last to hold on to the controversial design. The standard OnePlus 9 should have a 6.5-inch screen that looks flat, even though the sides of the screen cover bend to the sides. WinFuture also speculates that the regular OnePlus 9 could come without a metal frame, which could tend closer to the Nord series – there are no antenna tapes visible, which is usually required on metal frames.
There is still plenty of time for leaks ahead of the OnePlus event on March 23, so be sure.
