For the past few weeks, the OnePlus 9 series is all over the internet and it seems like a flood gate has opened as the leaks and rumors around the upcoming devices started pouring in. OnePlus 9 series is expected to launch in the month of March next year. Unlike every time, OnePlus might unveil three models this time namely OnePlus 9, OnePlus 9 Pro, and OnePlus 9 Lite. Now, according to a new report that shared the purported live images, also suggested that the OnePlus 9 will feature wireless charging and reverse wireless charging.
As per a report by 91 Mobiles, the reports claim that the OnePlus 9 will come with a 4500 mAh battery that supports 65W Warp Charging. This is about a 5 percent increase in battery capacity over its predecessor OnePlus 8 that only came with a 4300 mAh battery. If observed carefully one can also see the “Charging wirelessly” indicator below the date and time confirming that the OnePlus 9 (non-Pro) will also get some wireless goodness after all. OnePlus 9 will support wireless charging up to 30W. For those unaware, previously, only the Pro variant’s of OnePlus camera with wireless charging support.
The live images from the report also show a Reverse Charging icon in the quick settings menu making it a no-brainer considering this year 8 Pro had it. It is worth noting that the OnePlus 8 Pro had very slow reverse wireless charging speeds. As a matter of fact, OnePlus did not explicitly mention anywhere that the 8 Pro has this feature, it is that slow. Moving on, the OnePlus 9 live images also show a punch-hole camera notch at the top left corner, just like the OnePlus 8. Unlike the OnePlus 8’s display, the display here does not curve around the edges as it is a flat display like the OnePlus 8T.
According to the rumors, the OnePlus 9 features a 6.55 inches Fluid AMOLED display with a resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels. The display refresh rate here is 120Hz. The display itself is expected to be almost bezel-less with a screen to body ratio of 90.24%. The aspect ratio is said to be 20:9. The OnePlus 9 will be powered by the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 SoC coupled with 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of onboard storage. The top variant is expected to come with 12 GB of RAM and 256/512 GB of RAM to choose from. Adreno 660 handles the graphic duties here!
As for the optics, the OnePlus 9 is going to pack a triple rear camera setup. The primary unit is a 50 MP UltraPixel BSI image sensor with an f/1.9 aperture with 0.8 um pixel size. The secondary unit is also said to be a 20 MP unit but an ultra-wide angle sensor with an f/2.2 aperture. There is also a 12 MP telephoto lens with f/2.4 aperture. The selfie camera is housed in a punch-hole notch. The selfie shooter is said to be a 16 MP unit.
OnePlus 9 runs Android 11 out of the box with Oxygen OS 11 on top. Oxygen OS offers near Stock Android experience with various customizations and features. The fingerprint sensor is expected to be faster than the previous generations. All this will be backed by a 4500 mAh battery that supports 65W Warp Charging and comes with wireless charging and reverse charging support.
