An earlier leak revealed that alongside the OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9 Pro, there will be a third variant called the OnePlus 9E, but another source said the device will indeed launch as the OnePlus 9 Lite. Now another source has confirmed the latter and also provided more details.
According to TechDroider (@techdroider), the OnePlus 9 Lite will have two models with model numbers LE2100 and LE2101. OnePlus is announcing the phone in China and India, but there is no information on a European or North American release.

Details on design and other specs are unknown, but we expect more leaks to be found in the weeks leading up to the official announcement of the phones. However, we expect the OnePlus 9 Lite to have an AMOLED display, a high refresh rate (at least 90Hz) and support for at least 30W fast wired charging. OnePlus will likely not add wireless charging support, which has been confirmed for the standard model and is expected to be available on the OnePlus 9 Pro.
The OnePlus 9 Lite should also have inferior cameras compared to its siblings and should not have an official IP rating. All three phones will ship with OxygenOS based on Android 11.
OnePlus has changed the number of flagships it releases per year. Last year's Prior to the release of the OnePlus 7 series, only two models were produced per year - one in each half of the year. It then switched to two models in half, but last year's OnePlus 8T series was not released with a professional model. It remains to be seen if we will receive three models in the second half of the year or less.
