OnePlus 9 series is one of the much-anticipated flagship smartphones and a new leak reveals the pre-order details of the OnePlus 9, OnePlus 9 Pro and likely the OnePlus 9 Lite/ OnePlus 9R. There have been rumours that the company could launch the OnePlus 9 series by mid-March alongside its first smartwatch dubbed OnePlus Watch. OnePlus could reveal the launch date of the OnePlus 9 series on March 8, as teased by CEO Pete Lau.
According to a new leak by popular tipster Evan Blass, the OnePlus 9 series could be up for pre-order starting March 23 with “early buyers” set to receive OnePlus Buds Z TWS earphones on pre-booking either of the phones. The buyers of the standard OnePlus 9 will be eligible to receive a pair of OnePlus Buds Z while the OnePlus 9 Pro owners could get the OnePlus Buds Z Steven Harrington Edition bundled with their purchase.
The tipster further notes that if the OnePlus 9R and OnePlus Watch are indeed debuting as rumoured, neither of the two devices “are eligible for pre-order gifts.” OnePlus is also rumoured to collaborate with Swedish camera-maker Hasselblad for the cameras on the OnePlus 9 Pro, and it is likely we will hear more about it on March 8.
