The next top-end smartphone from OnePlus is thought to be called the 10 Pro. Now, the OEM's CEO, Pete Lau, has confirmed this product name, in a Weibo post strongly hinting at a launch for the device in very early 2022. Then again, there are no guarantees that this event would be global rather than for the Chinese market alone.

OnePlus has already confirmed that it will be in Las Vegas for a live CES 2022 show from January 5, 2022. Now, the company's chief executive officer, Pete Lau, has indicated that the launch of the 10 Pro will either coincide with or closely follow this event.

This new leak is based on a new Weibo post by the OPPO/OnePlus executive, which translates to mean "OnePlus 10 Pro, see you January". Therefore, the upcoming, probably Hasselblad-branded, Android flagship might indeed be revealed less than a month from now.

Then again, the launch in question just might be exclusive to the Chinese market, with a global debut for the 10 Pro to follow. Meanwhile, a fresh leak, posted to Twitter by its creator WaqarKhanHD, purports to show a more complete gamut of 10 Pro color options.

The device has mostly been rendered in black or green thus far; however, these new images suggest it will also be available in silver or purple. On the other hand, these choices are a combination of shades seen in the vanilla 9 and 9 Pro, thereby hinting the new work might simply have taken inspiration from these sources and applied it to earlier 10 Pro design leaks.
