OnePlus 10 series has been in the news since last month when the leaks suggested that the high-end variant of the device may get the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset. Now, it has been officially announced that the launch date of OnePlus 10 Pro will be announced on January 4, 2022. The OnePlus 10 Pro is already available in China for pre-registrations.

Being the successor of the OnePlus 9 Pro, it can be assumed that OnePlus 10 pro is going to be the most expensive smartphone of the series. If the rumors are to be believed, OnePlus 10 Pro could be priced somewhere around $1,069 that roughly converts to Rs 80,200. 

However, at the time of official launch, the company could drop the device at a different price range as mentioned above. The smartphone can ship in four different colors, including Silver, Black, Purple, and Green.

The device might pack 12GB RAM coupled with 256GB internal storage. In addition to that, the smartphone may also get a square-shaped rear camera module instead of the rectangular one, as seen in OnePlus 9 Pro.
