OnePlus 9 prototype tried to sell on eBay

The official release of the OnePlus 9 lineup will take place in a few months. However, this week a smartphone with this name was put up for sale on eBay for $ 3,000 – of course, not a production model, but a working prototype. The offer has already been removed from the list of active ones, but it has remained in the archive. The attached photos, on the one hand, give an idea of ​​the design of the mobile device, and on the other, they show the working code that will allow the company to determine the source of the leak.

Codes like these, displayed on prototype and preview screens, help manufacturers prevent information leaks by tracking them down to individual employees. Presumably, whoever tried to sell a pre-production OnePlus 9 on eBay either didn’t know about it, or the smartphone was stolen.

Here's a prototype of the OnePlus 9 5G. These images come from an eBay seller/listing that seems to be the same source that gave live images to @PhoneArena recently.

The photos accompanying the announcement show a bronze rear panel and a camera module that includes an LED flash, two large lenses and one more modest size. Also, the pictures confirm 8 GB of RAM + 128 GB of storage and OxygenOS 11.

The release of the OnePlus 9 series, we recall, is expected in March 2021 and will include the OnePlus 9, 9 Pro and 9 Lite models.
