The OnePlus 10 Pro is said to flaunt a 6.7-inch Quad HD+ AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. As mentioned above it will be powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset, with up to 12GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. Further, the smartphone should come with a 5,000mAh battery, with its fast-charging details still under the wraps. The smartphone could also come with IP68 certification for water and dust resistance.

In terms of optics, the smartphone will have a 48MP primary sensor, a 50MP ultra-wide-angle lens, and an 8MP telephoto lens with up to 3.3X optical zoom capabilities. The smartphone is tipped to have a 32MP snapper on the top left corner of the display for selfies and video calls.

Coming to its rear design, we can clearly see that the smartphone will come with a rectangular camera module at the back, alongside OnePlus and Hasselblad branding.
