00:00All right, so something kind of cool happened yesterday.
00:04A guy came into the Dave2D Discord and he claimed that he had photos of an unreleased phone, the OnePlus 9 Pro.
00:11And this isn't uncommon, like people will often pretend like they have something special to share and it's usually crap.
00:18But just out of curiosity, I DMed the guy. I'm like, well, let's see them.
00:23And I think these are real. I think these are legitimately pictures of the OnePlus 9 Pro.
00:29And the first thing I did when I got them was I went on to Google and be like, I want to compare these pictures with other leaks, right?
00:35Just to kind of see if it matched the leaks of other stuff because he sent me a bunch of photos.
00:40And the craziest thing is I couldn't find any photos that looked like this.
00:45There were no other photos on the Internet of a OnePlus 9 Pro that had this kind of camera array.
00:51I think these are real. So it's supposed to be a OnePlus 9 Pro.
00:54And that would imply that all the previous leaks we've seen before are just the regular OnePlus 9.
00:59Because the camera system is slightly different.
01:01This has a four camera setup and it looks quite different from the existing OnePlus 8 Pro.
01:06But you'll also notice the branding of Hasselblad on the back of this.
01:10And this is really interesting. We'll get back to it in a second. Keep it in mind.
01:13Okay, other observations. There's a curved screen, kind of like the one on the OnePlus 8 Pro.
01:18But this is distinctly different looking than the other leaks we've seen.
01:21Like all the OnePlus 9 pictures or leaked OnePlus 9 pictures we've seen had a flat display.
01:27And this, seemingly because it's the Pro version, has curved edges on the side once again.
01:32It also has a glossy back. So the matte or satin finish that we saw on the OnePlus 8T and the OnePlus 8 Pro.
01:39Like I've loved this kind of satin smooth matte material.
01:44But it's seemingly this glossy silver color on this OnePlus 9 Pro.
01:48And there's also the classic notification slider.
01:51Now there is something slightly different in this photo.
01:54So if you'll notice, the frame is cut around the sleep wake button and that notification slider.
02:01And normally on OnePlus phones, it's just this even uniform frame that goes around the device, right?
02:07There's no angled cuts in the frame usually.
02:10But in this photo, there's clearly something different going on.
02:13And I'm not sure if the frame is just a little bit thinner than normal.
02:16They have to widen it up at the notification slider.
02:19Or if that slider and the sleep wake button are just bigger than normal.
02:22And they just had to flare out the frame there.
02:25The USB-C port on the bottom and the antenna bands on the device look pretty standard.
02:29But there's also some pictures here of a 1440p display running at 120Hz.
02:33Now hardware wise, there's no confirmation here of the CPU it's running.
02:37I'd assume it's the Snapdragon 888.
02:39But there is a picture here of 11GB of RAM with 256GB of storage.
02:43And I thought the 11GB was a little strange.
02:45Like I had expected it to be 12GB if it was going to go that high.
02:49So I asked the guy, I'm like, is it 12GB?
02:51And it's just reading it wrong and he had no idea.
02:52In fact, I asked him a bunch of questions and they were all just, I don't know.
02:55So based on the pictures, 11GB of RAM, maybe 12GB.
02:59Okay, the camera system.
03:01So you have your regular lens, like a wide angle.
03:03You have your ultra-wide, seemingly at 0.6x again.
03:06And you have a zoom.
03:07Now last year's OnePlus 8 Pro had a lossless 3x zoom.
03:11But there's a picture here of a new 3.3x.
03:14I'm not sure if that's the optics or if that's just really early software.
03:17But that's somewhat interesting.
03:18And there's also a tilt-shift photography mode in the camera app.
03:23But the most interesting thing to me is that branding on the back of this whole camera array.
03:28The Hasselblad.
03:29And if you're unfamiliar with that company, they are a Swedish camera company.
03:33And they're best known for like their medium format cameras.
03:36Expensive stuff.
03:37Really good quality stuff, but expensive.
03:40And the reason why it's interesting is that this brand does not do camera, like smartphone camera partnerships very often.
03:48They did them, I don't know, 5, 6 years ago.
03:50But they're usually just doing their own thing.
03:53And the other thing that's interesting is that Vivo, it's a company that's kind of like a sister company to OnePlus.
03:58They've done stuff with Zeiss.
04:00And there were rumors that OnePlus would also be doing a partnership with Zeiss.
04:04But here we are with photos of a OnePlus 9 Pro with Hasselblad branding on the back.
04:09Hasselblad, they're not cheap.
04:11All of their stuff is very expensive.
04:14And for OnePlus to be able to use Hasselblad's branding and to partner with Hasselblad onto the phone,
04:18it couldn't have come cheap.
04:19Nothing from Hasselblad is cheap.
04:21Pete Lau, like the CEO of OnePlus at this point,
04:24he's gone on record saying that this year, OnePlus was putting a lot of resources into their camera system.
04:30So I asked the guy, is this Hasselblad branding also going to be on the OnePlus 9?
04:34And he had no idea.
04:35So as long as I'm not being trolled and these are legitimate images,
04:39the one thing we can take away is that there is some kind of partnership with OnePlus and Hasselblad
04:44to create this OnePlus 9 Pro camera system, at the very least, which is cool.
04:49But the big question is really, what is it going to bring?
04:52What does that partnership really do for the images?
04:55Because that's really the only thing that matters.
04:57There have been a lot of companies out there that have just used camera branding,
05:01like famous camera companies, and just stuck it onto phones
05:04with seemingly very little to show for it, in terms of image quality.
05:09But that's every image I got.
05:11I mean, I feel like this is a... this is cool.
05:15Alright, hope you guys enjoyed this video.
05:17Thumbs if you liked it, subs if you loved it.
05:19See you guys next time.
