It does not often happen that on an important product for a company capable of attracting the attention of enthusiasts such as OnePlus not many rumors circulate, all the more so at a time when we should be close to launch. Obviously it is not intentional: the interest of the informants is to find preview material, so if there had been, as usual, we would have known.
It is therefore evident that there is great reserve from the parts of Shenzhen on the most ambitious project ever (folding apart), and it is understandable that the slightest movement around OnePlus 10 Ultra makes noise. Even an indiscretion “more indiscretion” others like today’s one, which comes from a dubious source and for this reason, in different circumstances, it would not have bounced around the web as it is happening. We propose it to you, with the recommendation of take it with an even greater dose of skepticism than usual.
FEW AESTHETIC NEWS, BUT ‘TELE’ AND PERFORMANCE BOOST
OnePlus 10 Ultra it should have several points of contact with the viable 10 Pro we reviewed recently. The rear four-element camera group (three cameras plus the LED flash) should remain in place and more generally the entire rear surface doesn’t look very different from the current design. The anterior surface, while maintaining several points of contact with that of the younger brother, appears to have one minor curvature on the long sides in order, probably, to achieve two objectives: to maintain the charm of curved glass while promoting one-handed usability.
Overall, however, the two premium versions that OnePlus has planned for this year seem very similar to observe the current rumor, and it is also the same reading circulated in January on the OnePlus 10 Ultra account. In short, today’s indiscretion confirmation the information that had already emerged. Periscope telephoto lens included, which on 10 Pro is absent but rumors are convinced that it will be part of the 10 Ultra equipment. And here is one of the (many) doubts that we will probably carry up to the launch: there are those who say it will offer an abundant but credible 3.3x optical zoom, those who gamble, risking, on 5x magnifications.
On the other hand, the collaboration with Hasselblad and the performance boost ensured by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1+ chip that Qualcomm should make official very soon. If the plugs fit together correctly – and the reference is to the release of the chip – the OnePlus 10 Ultra should arrive in June.
