Enhanced by the Pixelworks X5 Pro processor, the new flagship OnePlus 9 Pro smartphone integrates a 6.7" cutting edge Fluid LTPO AMOLED display with WQHD+ resolution and variable refresh rates up to 120 Hz. Its advanced display technology, along with a Hasselblad-branded 48 MP quad rear camera and a Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 888 mobile platform that sports a 7.5 Gbps 5G modem, enables the OnePlus 9 Pro to take connected visual experiences to unimaginable new heights.

With the investment that OnePlus has made on both sides of the smartphone visual experience – the camera and display – the OnePlus 9 Pro is well positioned to be crowned the top flagship phone of 2021."
