OnePlus 9 Pro just leaked, and it looks impressive

A week ago, we first saw the OnePlus 9, thanks to leaked CAD designs. Now the OnePlus 9 Pro is getting the same treatment.

The render comes from the trusted leaker Steve Hemmerstoffer, also known as OnLeaks. And before going into details, it’s worth noting your caveat: this is a prototype and is subject to change. “The vast majority of its design is set in stone, but keep in mind that some small details, especially regarding the rear camera design, may still change,” he writes.

In its current state, the OnePlus 9 Pro looks like a fusion of this year’s OnePlus 8 Pro and the newer OnePlus 8T. From the front, it looks basically the same as the one before it, with a hole-punch camera in the upper-left corner and the mixed blessing of a curved screen. Meanwhile, it appears that OnePlus 9 will copy the 8T by moving the camera module to the top left of the back.

Hemmerstoffer says the current prototype “includes up to four camera lenses” and adds that two of them are encased in “huge mental rings that protrude slightly from the protrusion of the main camera.”

He adds that the phone is a 6.7-inch device with a glass back, with speakers on the bottom edge. The alert slider and power button are on the right side, with a volume rocker on the left. The OnePlus 9 Pro is reportedly set to launch in March 2021, which means it will come after the Samsung Galaxy S21, which Hemmerstoffer has set for January.

There’s nothing on the internal specs, but it would be completely surprising if the OnePlus 9 Pro didn’t launch with the upcoming Snapdragon 875 chip and at least 8GB of RAM. Its predecessor, the OnePlus 8 Pro, came with 8GB of RAM but with the option to increase it to 12GB while doubling the storage at the same time. It also featured a 120Hz display, and while the rumor was that OnePlus might be increasing the refresh rate even more, a previous OnePlus 9 leak indicated that the company would stick with 120Hz after all.
