OnePlus 10 Pro camera specifications tipped

OnePlus 10 Pro could launch early next year. According to a tipster on Weibo, the flagship will come with a periscope lens that will support 5x optical zoom. However, it isn’t clear what sensor the company will be using. If it turns out to be true, OnePlus will be finally catching up with other flagship phones that offer a periscope lens. So far, OnePlus phones have only featured telephoto lenses with up to 3x zoom. OnePlus could continue its partnership with Hasselblad and its integration with OPPO should help with the software optimisation.

OPPO has launched a few phones with periscope camera sensors, including the Find X and Reno Series. OPPO earlier this year has teased its next-gen periscope lens with an adjustable focal length of 85mm-135mm. OPPO’s experience in this regard should spill over to OnePlus phones seeing as how the two brands are closer than ever before. Other details about the OnePlus 10 specifications remain a mystery. We speculate the flagship phones will come with next-gen Snapdragon chipset, Android 12-based unified OS, 5G network connectivity, and probably a similar design as the predecessor. Either way, we should learn more details going forward. Stick around.
