The OnePlus 10 Pro is expected to be announced in January, with co-founder Pete Lau posting on Weibo, "See you in January" along with the 10 Pro hashtag. The post was later re-shared by the official OnePlus Weibo account, effectively confirming that OnePlus' new flagship phone will be available months earlier than usual.

Does this mean we will get the OnePlus 10 Pro next month? According to other leakers, the OnePlus 10 Pro will debut in its home country, followed by a worldwide launch around March or April.

There has been no official announcement regarding the OnePlus 10, but given that the company is rolling out a one-two punch of standard and Pro models in most iterations of its flagship phones in 2019 and beyond, two OnePlus 10 models are likely.

That said, if OnePlus sticks with the Pro and returns to its roots of offering one flagship-grade phone at a price below other high-end devices (in this case the iPhone 13 Pro, Google Pixel 6 Pro, and possibly the Samsung Galaxy S22) That wouldn't be a terrible thing to do.

And from the leaks so far, it looks like the OnePlus 10 Pro has a chance.

A reported design rendering based on inside information shows off a new camera module design that appears to curve into the back of the phone, unlike the Samsung Galaxy S21's Contour Cut design.

The module will feature four rear cameras and appears to have an enhanced sensor and improved telephoto zoom over the OnePlus 9 Pro. We expect the partnership with Hasselblad, which kicked off last year, to be pursued further with regard to color and computational photography tuning.

The display is 6.7" with a QHD+ resolution and an adaptive 120 Hz refresh rate, which seems to slow down when not needed to save battery power. However, the screen will be LTPO 2.0. Speaking of which, one rumor claims that the OnePlus 10 Pro will have a 125W charging speed, almost double the 65W of the OnePlus 9 Pro.

Under the hood, the OnePlus 10 Pro is expected to have a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip, 8GB or 12GB of RAM, and up to 256GB of storage. Software is also set to get an overhaul, with OnePlus merging its Oxygen OS with sibling company Oppo's Color OS. This should result in a user interface that sits on top of Android, combining the clean look of Oxygen OS with the functionality of Color OS.

If OnePlus can build on the excellent OnePlus 9 Pro, the 10 Pro could be a real contender for the best phones list early next year; OnePlus plans to exhibit at CES 2022, where the OnePlus 10 Pro is OnePlus will be exhibiting at CES in 2022, where the OnePlus 10 Pro is expected to be unveiled.
