OnePlus 10 project codenamed Ovaltine could launch soon with Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC

OnePlus recently launched the OnePlus 10R as an affordable flagship smartphone. The smartphone belongs to the R series and comes with premium hardware at a relatively affordable price. The company is rumored to launch the OnePlus 10T 5G later this year. A recent leak claimed that this device will be the only flagship smartphone to be released later this year. Now, a new leak claims that a vanilla OnePlus 10 launch is also in the works.

Tipster Yogesh Brar claims the company is working on the launch of its new premium flagship device. Let’s take a look at the specs, features and other details of the OnePlus 10 known so far.

OnePlus 10 launch hinted

OnePlus 10 will likely launch later this year. While the company hasn’t confirmed any details, a new leak suggests a device launch is in the works. Tipster Brar claims the phone is codenamed Project Ovaltine. While Brar did not reveal launch details, he does claim the phone will launch with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC.

There is a lot of confusion surrounding OnePlus’ next flagship smartphone. Typically, OnePlus releases a vanilla flagship model along with the Pro model. This time, only the 10 Pro was launched as the company’s premium offering. OnePlus has neither confirmed nor denied the launch of a vanilla model. There have been rumors that the standard OnePlus 10 will launch in May. While this clearly didn’t happen, it was later rumored that the OnePlus 10 Ultra would be launched in October to compete with the iPhone 14 series.

OnePlus has confirmed that it will launch a phone with the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC this year. Therefore, it was assumed that the Ultra model could have Qualcomm’s top-end SoC.

However, whistleblower Max Jambore recently stated that the OnePlus 10T 5G will be launched later this year. He also stated that this will be the only flagship device from the brand after the 10 Pro. Hopefully there will be some clarity on the launch of OnePlus’ next flagship smartphone soon.

Apart from the SoC, no other details about the vanilla flagship model are known. We will share more details as they become available.
