A third phone in the upcoming OnePlus 9 series has been confirmed by the company’s CEO. The announcement comes just five days before the OnePlus 9 and 9 Pro are set to be fully revealed. So far, the phone is only confirmed to be coming to India.
The OnePlus Nord was available in Europe and India, or as a budget phone released in the US. Which part of the price-to-performance spectrum OnePlus is n’t clear yet, though some of Lau’s comments indicate that it may be closer to the mid-range end.
The phone will feature 5G. References suggest that, like with its recent budget phones, OnePlus will probably include a 90hz or faster display.
The ROG phone 5 has the Snapdragon 888, up to 18GB of RAM, and a 144hz screen. None of that is exactly cost-friendly.
