(Pocket-lint) – The OnePlus 8T has only been official for a little over a week, but attention is now shifting to the next in the company’s flagship line: the OnePlus 9.
A report claims that the flagship phone will launch earlier than expected. While the manufacturer usually announces and then releases its premium phone every April, it will change the presentation of the OnePlus 9 to March 2021.
This is so that OnePlus can compete directly with other Android smartphone manufacturers, such as Samsung and Xiaomi.
Android Central claims that its “internal source” revealed a launch event “in mid-March.” However, there is no specific release date yet.
Interestingly, while the move is supposedly planned to turn the company against Samsung, it was also recently reported that the Korean firm has advanced the launch of its next flagship phone. It was said that the Samsung Galaxy S21 will be unveiled no later than January or early February.
It just goes to show that no matter how many times you commit to taking on your rivals, your rivals are more than capable of moving the bar again.
We’ll bring you more information about the OnePlus 9 in the coming months, but you can read all about the latest OnePlus phone right here: OnePlus 8T Review – Fully Charged.
