According to a Weibo post by tipster Digital Chat Station (translated from Chinese), a new OnePlus smartphone is in development. The purported handset is powered by MediaTek's flagship Dimensity 9500 chipset. It is reported to be a performance-centric model that offers high-end hardware and new cooling tech.
