OnePlus 10 Ultra could be a souped-up OnePlus 10 Pro

By Ayush Chourasia Published May 3, 2022

OnePlus has only released a single device under the OnePlus 10 series, but it’s only a matter of time before we see another. It is rumored that the upcoming OnePlus flagship will be called OnePlus 10 Ultra. The device has been in the air for some time, but there was no concrete information available until now. Thanks to tipster Yogesh Brar, we finally have some details of the OnePlus 10 Ultra.

In a recent tweet, Brar revealed that the OnePlus 10 Ultra is getting into the testing phase. He believes that the device will be running a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1+ chipset. The unreleased chipset should be slightly faster than the existing 8 Gen 1 processor. The chipset is just a regulatory change and won’t really amp up performance when compared to the OnePlus 10 Pro. Cameras are something that could really draw some interest in the device, Brar states. Sadly, his tweet failed to mention any specifics about the camera system.

Back in February, a leak showcased the sketch design of the alleged OnePlus 10 Ultra. The device had a similar design to the OnePlus 10 Pro but the camera system appeared to be different, mostly because of the periscope lens. While there’s not a lot of evidence to back this up, it will be an interesting addition to the 10 Ultra which will also be the first on a OnePlus device. The sketch also pointed towards the inclusion of a small secondary display. It’s worth noting that the diagram isn’t as detailed enough to confirm if it is a display or just a random design element.

As per the leaker, the OnePlus 10 Ultra will be released in August or September. He adds that OnePlus has multiple phones in the works powered by Dimensity 8000, Snapdragon 888, and Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 chipsets respectively. In other news, the OnePlus 10 is expected to launch in two configurations — one with Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset and the other with the Dimensity 9000 chipset.

Massive OnePlus 13 leak just revealed everything about the phone

Official OnePlus 13 product render in three colors.

At this point, it's common news that the OnePlus 13 will launch in China tomorrow. Obviously, we would get all of the specs on the phone at launch, but the Chinese telecommunications authority TENAA (similar to the Federal Communications Commission in the U.S.) recently shared an almost complete specs list. Since it's coming from an official agency, this is information that you can pretty much take at face value.

According to the certification, the OnePlus 13 will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset and will come with a 4.1GHz CPU, and have a 6,000mAh battery. We already knew most of these details from previous leaks, but it's good to see them confirmed.

Here are some of the specs for the OnePlus Open 2

The OnePlus Open was a heck of a foldable phone that scored a four out of five in our review, and now we have exciting news about its successor. The OnePlus Open 2 is scheduled to launch sometime in 2025 and promises to bring serious upgrades with it, including an even slimmer design. That's saying something, especially since the original OnePlus Open is already incredibly thin (just 5.8mm) when unfolded.

The news comes courtesy of tipster Digital Chat Station on Weibo and through GSMArena's translation. A previous rumor stated that the OnePlus Open 2 might be less than 10mm when folded, lending credence to the idea of an ultrathin phone.

The OnePlus 13 will beat most other smartphones in one surprising way

OnePlus 12 Glacial White cameras.

With the Chinese launch of the OnePlus 13 just days away, more and more details keep making their way to our feeds. This morning, three key specs on the OnePlus 13 appeared on Weibo (the Chinese social media outlet) and were posted by OnePlus itself. Two of them are exciting, while the other is downright surprising.

The first detail is that it will use an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor with a "super intuitive" position. In practice, this means the fingerprint sensor will be able to pick up details more accurately and will work even if your finger is wet. It also works in low light and should be significantly faster than an optical sensor.
