As revealed by the company, the OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9 Pro will be powered by Snapdragon 888. The OnePlus 9 series will be unveiled tomorrow, and thanks to leaks are rumors, we already know a fair bit about the upcoming devices. Now both the OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9 Pro have appeared on benchmarks.

The OnePlus 9 series is expected to be unveiled next week. However, Tech Maniacs managed to get a unit and ran benchmarks. The OnePlus 9 Pro scored 660,000 on AnTuTu, which is pretty impressive. We need to note that pre-release software can be wonky, and the production version might fare better.

Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 already rules the rooster when it comes to performance. So unsurprisingly, the OnePlus 9 Pro scored more than 660,000 on AnTuTu. That said, smartphones with last year’s Snapdragon 870 managed to score 668,000. In other words, we need to wait for the device to release. Once that happens, we will get a clearer idea of benchmarks and, thus, overall performance.

OnePlus is expected to use a 5-layer “gaming-grade” cooling. Perhaps this is the reason maximum temperature on benchmarks is restricted to 41-degree. Moving on, OnePlus has also posted a series of images captured with the OnePlus 9 series Hasselblad branded camera. Recently OnePlus teased Morning Mist colors for the OnePlus 9 Pro.
