KEY POINTS

  • OnePlus 9 Pro buyers are getting the OnePlus Buds Z x Steven Harrington version
  • OnePlus 9 owners get the regular OnePlus Buds Z
  • OnePlus 9R and OnePlus Watch might not debut together with the flagship devices

OnePlus is set to unveil its next wave of devices March 8, but industry insiders have recently revealed a lot before the event. Now, it appears even more information has made its way online about the OnePlus 9, OnePlus 9 Pro, OnePlus 9R, and OnePlus Watch.

Ahead of any hardware launch, companies must regularly contend with internal communication being leaked before the big day. Evan Blass – known among tech circles as @evleaks – posted a new set of details on Voice that gives consumers an idea of what to expect from the manufacturer.

OnePlus 9 Series Pre-Order Bonuses

Most smartphone brands occasionally offer pre-order gifts or freebies to encourage folks to purchase the latest models. Those who plan to get the OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9 Pro are eligible to receive a pair of truly wireless earbuds.

Buyers of the OnePlus 9 Pro are getting the OnePlus Buds Z x Steven Harrington version. In contrast, new OnePlus 9 owners get the regular OnePlus Buds Z. Despite what other sources hinted at before, Blass claims the OnePlus 9R and OnePlus Watch might not debut alongside the premium-tier handsets.

However, if for some reason OnePlus decides to include the mid-range handset and smartwatch in the upcoming announcements, there are no promotions currently slated for early adopters, he said. Pre-orders for the OnePlus 9 Pro and OnePlus 9 will supposedly begin March 23.

OnePlus 9, 9 Pro Carriers

Meanwhile, a different set of leaks from another source seems to have uncovered the colorways, including those limited to a specific carrier for the two flagship models.

The OnePlus 9 (codename lemonade) will come in Winter Mist, Astral Black, and Arctic Sky. The OnePlus 9 Pro (codename lemonadep) has a trio of shades listed as Forest Green, Morning Mist, and Stellar Black.

T-Mobile is getting the OnePlus 9 in Astral Black and Winter Mist, while the OnePlus 9 Pro will come in a shade of Morning Mist. On the other hand, Verizon will market the OnePlus 9 in Gloss gradient purple and Gloss black colors.

OnePlus retweeted a post from its CEO, Pete Lau, which reads: “Stay tuned for Match 8.” This is likely the date when the OnePlus 9 Pro, OnePlus 9, OnePlus 9R and OnePlus Watch are officially introduced.

The tweet includes an image that shows a shot of the earth taken from the moon with a caption that says: “Something new in on the horizon” Perhaps it could be a hint of the imaging capabilities of the OnePlus 9 Pro.
