OnePlus may ditch the Pro moniker this time the top variant could be called OnePlus 11

OnePlus started selling smartphones with the ‘Pro’ moniker in 2019. The OnePlus 7 Pro was the first smartphone to come out with the changed branding. Since then, the company has stuck with the terminology for all its flagship devices, including the OnePlus 8 Pro, OnePlus 9 Pro, and the latest OnePlus 10 Pro. However, a recent leak claiming that the upcoming OnePlus flagship won’t have the ‘Pro’ moniker in its name has surprised the internet.

  

OnePlus 10 Pro’s successor won’t be called OnePlus 11 Pro?

According to leaker Max Jambor, the upcoming OnePlus flagship will not be called the OnePlus 11 Pro. Instead, the company may launch it as the ‘OnePlus 11.’ Now that might lead many to think that the smartphone will launch without any ‘Pro’ capabilities. Well, Jambor also shares that the smartphone will retain all the flagship characteristics of the OnePlus 10 Pro, even improve them on some levels, but still, the company wants to call it the OnePlus 11. It could be the starting of a rather simplified naming approach adopted by the company; however, the reason for removing the ‘Pro’ moniker from the OnePlus 11’s name is not apparent at the moment.

The name change also raises another question - will the OnePlus 11 carry a ‘Pro’ pricing, or will it be priced like the flagship killers the company sold several years back? As the answer to this question is unavailable, readers must wait until other leaks surface on the internet. For now, we have a decent amount of details regarding the OnePlus 11’s specifications. An Android Authority report suggests that the OnePlus 10 Pro’s successor could come with a 6.7-inch QHD+ OLED display that could support a high refresh rate.

Under the hood, the smartphone could feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC, which remains unannounced. Additionally, the OnePlus 11 might be equipped with a 5,000 mAh battery that supports 100W wired charging. Last but not least, OnePlus could circle back to the Hasselblad partnership as the OnePlus 11 is touted to feature a triple rear camera system with a 50 MP primary camera, a 48MP ultrawide camera and a 32MP telephoto camera, all tuned by Hasselblad. Nevertheless, none of the details is official now, and enthusiasts will have to wait until OnePlus comes up with an announcement.
