The OnePlus 9 pre-production unit that was leaked earlier this month has apparently been sold for $6,000 on eBay. The pictures were first posted by PhoneArena but soon after a listing of the same or a similar prototype unit surfaced on eBay priced at $3,000. As per PhoneArena, the device in question was a T-Mobile variant but the one listed on eBay is an unlocked version that’s compatible with all GSM carriers. This particular listing was taken down shortly afterwards as few images of the OnePlus 9 prototype contained device identifiers that would have easily led the company to track the owner of the phone. The OnePlus 9 prototype surfaced again in a new listing but at $6,000. The seller added a text in the new listing that says, “I am not responsible for oneplus erasing this phone or anything they may do to the phone after purchase period. If you purchase this you agree to those terms.” It will probably be very, very easy for OnePlus to trace this device back to its owner. I don...

There’s one more phone coming at the tail end of 2020 and that is the Xiaomi Mi 11. Xiaomi is all set to launch the Mi 11 today at 7:30 PM CST (5:00 pm IST). But that’s not all as MIUI 12.5 will also make its debut today at the event. The MIUI 12.5 is essentially the successor to MIUI 12, which was released in April, earlier this year. Closed Beta registrations for MIUI 12.5 have already begun.  MIUI 12.5 is currently available for 21 devices in the “Early Access” phase.
