But the new series is also going to be a high-end product in line with the company marketing. As the firm keeps its ties with Qualcomm strong, it is highly likely that the next generation OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9 Pro are going to be powered by the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 875 processor which is set to be launched in December this year.As the recently launched OnePlus 8T came with a 120Hz refresh rate display, the same can be expected from the upcoming flagship. Also, the news comes days after it was reported that OnePlus co-founder Carl Pei has left the company to work on an independent venture.It was under his leadership that the tech startup had launched an affordable flagship, Nord into the market. The 31-year-old had started the firm with his former co-worker at Oppo, Pete Lau, in the year 2013.
