OnePlus 9 RT is expected to launch next month in India and China and it will be the only numbered flagship for this year. After the OnePlus 9 RT, the company will be shifting its focus to the OnePlus 10 flagships that should debut around March-April 2022. While it’s too early to comment on what the OnePlus 9 series successors will bring with regards to hardware, noted tipster Yogesh Brar says the OnePlus 10 design may not be radically different from its predecessor. According to him, the OnePlus 10 phones will be polished versions of the OnePlus 9 series. This likely means, the OnePlus 10 Pro version will have curved edges and a punch-hole cutout, while the regular model will have a flat screen.
