OnePlus will unveil its newest flagship series on March 23 and we know quite a lot about it already, thanks to the company's teasing campaign and a treasure trove of leaks. The OnePlus 9 and 9 Pro have also made it to benchmarking platform Geekbench, reports MySmartPrice.
The LE2115, which is apparently the standard model, has scored 1,120 points and 3,630 points on the single-core and multi-core tests, respectively. This is marginally better than Samsung Galaxy S21 and S21 Plus' performance.
The OnePlus 9 Pro (LE2125) managed 1,123 and 3,416 points in the same test. These results are comparable to Galaxy S21 Ultra's score.
The variants in question have 12GB of RAM and are powered by the Lahaina chipset, which is what the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 is known as internally.
OnePlus 9 series: what we know so far
The OnePlus 9 Pro will reportedly feature a 6.7-inches curved punch-hole screen with a refresh rate of 120Hz. The regular model may sport a 6.5-inches flat screen. Both models will likely pack a 4,500mAh cell with support for 65W fast charging.
For the main camera, OnePlus has opted for a custom 48MP Sony IMX789 sensor. The Japanese conglomerate's 50MP IMX766 omnidirectional autofocus sensor has been chosen for the ultrawide unit.
These will presumably be mated with an 8MP telephoto module with 3.3x zoom and a 2MP macro unit on the Pro, and a 2MP camera on the standard model.
Lastly, there is also some chatter about an entry-level model with humbler specs than the other models. The OnePlus 9R/E/Lite is rumored to offer a 90Hz screen, the Snapdragon 690, and a rear camera array with a 64MP primary unit and an 8MP ultrawide camera.
