OnePlus 9 Pro has been revealed in an official promo video ahead of the global launch on March 23. The video gives us a good look at the back cover, which will sport a curved back panel design that we saw on the OnePlus 8 Pro. What is more prominent is four rear camera sensors with Hasselblad branding on the camera module.
OnePlus has already announced its partnership with camera manufacturer Hasselblad to co-develop the smartphone camera systems for future OnePlus flagship devices. OnePlus 9 series will come with a revamped camera system – Hasselblad Camera for Mobile, the company said in a press release.
While this is not the first time that the OnePlus 9 Pro has leaked in photos, this time it isn’t a leaked render. OnePlus 9 Pro will feature four camera sensors at the back where two bigger sensors will be aligned vertically, while two smaller sensors will be aligned horizontally at the bottom.
The two bigger sensors are expected to be the main 48MP Sony IMX789 sensor and a 50MP SonyIMX766 ultra-wide camera, something the company has already confirmed. We will need to wait for an official launch to know more about the other two camera sensors. On the camera module, the Hasselblad branding along with an LED flash unit can be seen as well.
“It all begins with a simple thought. Discover the #OnePlus9Series, co-developed with Hasselblad, on March 23,” OnePlus wrote on Twitter along with posting the 1-minute teaser video.
