This time around a smartwatch is also expected, which likely be called the OnePlus Watch. This is not the company’s first smart wearable, though. Earlier in the year, OnePlus launched a fitness band in India as well, but the Watch is likely expected to be a more premium device.
The OnePlus 9 series will have three phones: OnePlus 9, OnePlus 9 Pro and OnePlus 9R. The OnePlus 9 series will be powered by the Snapdragon 888 for the 9 and 9 Pro variant; the 9R will likely run the Snapdragon 690 processor making it a more mid-range device.
The other unique feature about the OnePlus 9 series this time is the partnership with camera pioneers Hasselblad. OnePlus 9 and 9 Pro will come with some major camera updates; though only the Pro variant will have a quad-camera at the back. We will have to wait and see how the camera actually performs in day-to-day use. The livestream for the OnePlus 9 launch will take place on the company’s YouTube channel.
