OnePlus 10 Pro could get unveiled in China before global launch

OnePlus 10 Pro along with the OnePlus 10 is now tipped to launch in China first and will launch globally at a later date. The OnePlus 10 series is the company’s flagship lineup for 2022 and are rumoured to launch in January or February. However, a new piece of information suggests that OnePlus will launch its upcoming flagship phone, the OnePlus 10 pro in China first.

As per popular tipster Max Jambor, the OnePlus 10 Pro will launch in China sometime in January or February. The global launch will be held sometime in March or April according to Max. If true, this means there will be a gap of some months between the China launch and global launch which is a first for OnePlus.

OnePlus usually releases phones globally which means it hits China and the rest of the world at the same time. But this time, it looks like OnePlus is looking to change things a bit, especially since it is now working more closely with sister-brand Oppo. Interestingly, Oppo follows a similar launch cycle where it launches products in China first and after a few months they are released globally.
