The OnePlus 9 series will be one of the most anticipated flagships in 2021. There is a lot of buzz and speculation about the three models that are likely to be launched as part of the series. A recent leak suggests that none of the models in the OnePlus 9 series will have a periscopic camera. Renowned informant Digital chat station posted a tip about Weibo recently, saying that the OnePlus 9 series will come with just a single telephoto lens and not a periscope lens.

The informant wrote that he does not know if the supply chain has not yet recovered from the losses faced due to the pandemic. Although many phones had periscopic lenses by the third quarter of 2020, many companies will manufacture their devices without installation next year.
This informant suggests that other developers who hoped to market phones with Snapdragon 888 (like the OnePlus 9 series) in 2021 will give up periscopes. It is important to note here that OnePlus products have not used periscope lenses before, as pointed out by a technology portal.
Previous informants had suggested that the OnePlus 9 series would come with Leica lenses. According a tweet reply by leakster Teme OnePlus will have a collaboration with Leica for its next flagship. Inside another tweet, the same informant also revealed a collaboration between LEica and Huawei. Earlier this month, a technology publication also released live footage of the 5G variant of the base model.
O series of photos showed that the OnePlus 9 5G consists of two larger sensors at the rear, along with a much smaller third camera. The 6.55-inch device looked very similar to its predecessor OnePlus 8T in terms of design.
