TL;DR

The OnePlus 10 Pro is finally stepping outside of China on March 31, at 10 AM ET. The company has announced the global launch date for its first 2022 flagship more than two months after it unveiled the phone at the start of the year.

OnePlus will hold a digital event to show off the global OnePlus 10 Pro model. The phone will eventually go on sale in North America, Europe, and India. OnePlus will also announce details about the pricing and availability of the 10 Pro at the launch event.

As usual, you can catch the OnePlus 10 Pro’s launch on the company’s YouTube channel. We’ll share a link for the same when OnePlus puts it up.

Why did OnePlus wait till now to launch the 10 Pro globally?

OnePlus broke from tradition this year and launched the phone in China before the rest of the world. According to CEO Pete Lau, software development for global markets takes longer because of carrier compliance. However, Lau has promised that the company would work towards shortening the gap between launches in China and the rest of the world going forward.

Speaking of software, the global OnePlus 10 Pro model will not come with a new unified OS as expected before. For those who didn’t know this already, OnePlus will be retaining Oxygen OS for its international phone models. This means the OnePlus 10 Pro should be launching with Oxygen OS 12 on board.
