2021 is fast approaching, and in the world of Android, that means a new Qualcomm chip and a new round of phone upgrades. OnePlus will be one of the earlier companies out of the gate with the OnePlus 9, a device that leaked pretty extensively at PhoneArena over the weekend.

First up, PhoneArena has hands-on pictures with a prototype of the phone. The front design doesn't look that much different from the current OnePlus 8 Pro, with a hole punch camera and slim bezels all around. (Here's hoping we'll get an under-display camera with the OnePlus 9T later in the year.) PhoneArena says the display is flat—remember, this is the OnePlus 9, not the more expensive OnePlus 9 Pro, which will most likely have a curved screen.

The back has a chunky, rectangular camera block with two big camera lenses and a third smaller lens. Next to the lenses is an LED flash and new "Ultrashot" branding. Also on the back is a strange logo in place of the OnePlus branding; the company apparently uses a fake logo on prototypes, similar to what we've seen on Google devices.
