OnePlus 10 Spotted on Chinese Certification Site Ahead of Official Announcement

OnePlus 10 has purportedly received certification from China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT). Although OnePlus has not yet confirmed the existence of the OnePlus 10, the phone is speculated to come alongside the OnePlus 10 Pro. The OnePlus 10 is expected to have the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC. It would also include some upgrades over the OnePlus 9 that was launched earlier this year. Further, the OnePlus 10 may come with 5G support for faster connectivity.

As initially spotted by 91Mobiles, a OnePlus phone has appeared on the MIIT website with a model number NE2210. It is speculated to be the OnePlus 10.

The online listing confirmed 5G connectivity and dual-SIM support on the OnePlus phone. However, it doesn't provide any further details.

Although the OnePlus 10 launch is still not confirmed by the Chinese company, the listing on the MIIT site suggests that it could be announced in the coming days.

Earlier this week, OnePlus confirmed that it will announce the launch date of the OnePlus 10 Pro on January 4. Pre-registrations for the flagship phone have also started in China.

The OnePlus 10 Pro is teased to have a low-temperature polycrystalline oxide (LTPO) 2.0 display technology that is claimed to deliver a smoother screen viewing experience. The OnePlus flagship will also come with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC.
