OnePlus is already getting ready for its next flagship smartphone, the OnePlus 9 series. A couple of weeks ago, we got to know about the model numbers of the series, and today, 91Mobiles published the first OnePlus 9 CAD renders, which revealed the entire design from front and rear. Although this may or may not be the final version of the smartphone, the renders gave us an idea, how the smartphone is going to be.
Most of the time, 91Mobiles partners/collaborates with famed leaker Steve Hemmerstoffer (a.k.a OnLeaks) for leaks like these. However, that doesn’t appear to be the case at this point. In fact, 91Mobiles doesn’t give out any information on its source in the least. In other words, while we trust 91Mobiles due to its history of accurate render leaks, it’s important to treat this particular leak with a touch more scrutiny.
The CAD render shows that from the front, the planning remains equivalent because of the OnePlus 8T’s. There’s not a curved display that we saw on the OnePlus 8 of this year. There’s a flat-screen that features a single hole-punch cutout on the highest left corner for the selfie camera. The button placement remains equivalent, i.e., power button & alert slider on the proper side while the quantity rockers on the left.
There is a small change within the rear design in comparison thereto to OnePlus 8T. there’s an oblong camera module on the highest left & the three circles suggest a triple camera setup. the tiny size of the third camera sensor suggests it’d be a macro camera.
OnePlus 9 Specifications (Rumored & Alleged)
The OnePlus 9 will reportedly feature a 6.65 inches OLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate for smoother animations on the display. Under the hood, the OnePlus 9 might be powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 875 System-on-Chip with 5G connectivity. Paired with up to 12 GB of RAM and 512 GB of onboard storage working on UFS 3.1 technology.
In the camera department, the OnePlus 9 will feature a quad or a triple rear camera and a single punch hole camera in the front. The camera sensors may include a primary 64-megapixel sensor, a secondary 16-megapixel sensor, and a tertiary 8-megapixel setup at the rear, and a 32-megapixel selfie shooter. Although the specific camera model is yet not finalized, we are pretty much sure about the configurations.
The size of the battery might be bigger on the OnePlus 9 because the company has kept on bumping it up since the OnePlus 8. The OnePlus 8 smartphone model boasts a 4300mAh battery, the OnePlus 8 Pro features a 4510mAh battery, and therefore the OnePlus 8T comes with a 4500mAh battery. Thus, the battery capacity of the OnePlus 9 might be larger as compared to OnePlus 8 series phones.
