It's a leak… sort of.
Let me introduce Codename "Billie" or as we call it: Aurora.The devices are based on our imagination but I believe they could be very close to the actual phones.

These phones have dual and triple cameras at the back and a cornered punch-hole cutout on the display. These displays will likely have AMOLED panels, but it is unclear whether they will have a high refresh rate since they are going to be more affordable. The overall design of the two handsets is nearly identical. OnePlus’s iconic slider for changing sound profiles is also there.
The video from the 3D artist Concept Creator shows the phones in action.

There is still a lot that we don’t know about these devices, for instance, the specifications. They may feature the affordable Snapdragon 690 5G, or may entirely skip 5G to cut costs, which would make more sense. Other details are likely to appear as the launch date draws near. That being said, there is no word on a likely launch date either.
