OnePlus just launched the OnePlus 9 Pro, the company’s latest flagship smartphone and the successor to OnePlus 9 Pro in an online event, as it had promised. It has a 6.7-inch Quad HD Fluid E4 AMOLED LTPO display with Smart 120 Hz feature, which automatically matches the refresh rate to
the current user scenario – from as low as 1 Hz (viewing photos or reading text), to 24 Hz (watching movies) even as high as 120 Hz (scrolling) and has 360Hz touch sampling rating.

It has HDR10+, and a 20:9 aspect ratio and a 16-megapixel in-screen camera with Sony IMX471 sensor. The phone has HDR 10+ support, 1300 nits brightness, MEMC, automatic color temperature adjustment, front and back ambient light sensing and more. The phone has a flat Corning Gorilla Glass protection, and has received A+ rating from DisplayMate.

The phone has a new Hasselblad Camera for Mobile together with Hasselblad that promises most natural color for a professional-level
photography experience. It has a new 48MP 1/1.43″ Sony IMX789 custom sensor, has a 50MP 1/1.56″ Sony IMX766 ultra-wide camera and uniquely curved Freeform Lens that is able to bring edge distortion down to around 1%, compared to 10-20% on most smartphone ultra-wide cameras.

The Morning Mist shimmers from silver to black, resembling fog on a glossy mirror and the Pine Green uses a double-layer matte finish resulting in a softer and warmer hand feel with fewer fingerprints.
