OnePlus 10: This smartphone will be an important phone for its fans along with OnePlus for many reasons. The phone is expected to feature a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip and the rest of the impressive specifications to match. It may also have a new design, which will make the OnePlus 9 series a success. However, all eyes will be on the software of the phone. The OnePlus 10 is set to become the first phone to integrate Oppo’s ColorOS and OnePlus’ OxygenOS skins, which Pete Lau refers to as a new “integrated OS”. The new skin will also come later to all other OnePlus phones that are still on the update schedule. Improvements are also expected on the camera in front of the phone.

The series is expected to include multiple storage variants and the rest of the key specifications are also expected to include a bigger battery, 100W fast charging mechanism, a quad-rear camera, and an under-display front camera (as per the leak).
