This year, however, the Chinese company could take a different turn by launching a 'Pro' variant of OnePlus 7 along with it. This is also the first time we'd be seeing the 'Pro' moniker on a OnePlus smartphone.

Reports of 'OnePlus 7 Pro' surfaced last week with details of its specifications. OnePlus 7 Pro will come with a curved OLED display but with a thick bottom bezel. A leaked image of OnePlus 7 Pro also shows a similar design to Huawei's Mat 20 Pro. In terms of specifications, OnePlus 7 Pro is said to come with a 6.67-inch Full HD+ display, Snapdragon 855 processor and up to 8GB of RAM. It will also offer a triple-camera setup at the rear.

OnePlus 7 is also expected to come with these specifications onboard, except for the curved display. Leaks and rumours suggest OnePlus 7 will offer a 6.5-inch AMOLED display, 4,000mAh battery along with Warp Charge and a 44W charger. OnePlus 7 will also come with triple rear cameras including a Sony IMX586 48-megapixel sensor. The smartphone has also been leaked multiple times with an edge-to-edge display and pop-up selfie camera.

OnePlus has also confirmed it will launch a 5G smartphone this year. OnePlus 5G smartphone will most likely take place sometime later this year. OnePlus CEO Pete Lau also shared plans of the company working on a OnePlus TV. But there won't be any foldable phone from OnePlus, at least for now.
