Nice, this makes perfectly sense!!
OnePlus shared this TLens-information back in march 2021:

The front facing camera in a future model will be upgraded with Ultra fast Autofocus, so fast that you can capture a photography in focus even if your hand is shaking or moving.
If OnePlus 10 Ultra will be launched in second half of 2022, everything fits with what I have been doing research on! The technology behind this lens is most probably here:
https://www.polight.com/tlens-for-smartphone-oems/tlens-for-smartphones/default.aspx
How many "owner of the TLens-technology" can there be out there? I can only find this one.
I spent some time in their reports and technologypresentations, and found this in the Q3-presentation, regarding smartphones:
"7 ongoing PoC´s and 3 design-in possibilities 1 st half 2022
• Potentially start shipping TLens end Q2-21 and phone release 2 11 nd half 2022"
I sent them an email, and there are actually 3 different companies parallell in the development here, and my guess is that OnePlus is one of these 3. I hope so🤞
If OnePlus 10Ultra comes with this selfie camera, there will be a punch hole, but the size of it will be very small! There are possibilities for punch holes smaller than 2mm with this camera. If this tech is on the OP10Ultra, there will most probably not be an under-screen-cam. This comes later, because the screens are not goog enough for this yet. (Yes, I know MiMix and Axon20 uses this, but it is not fantastic quality on the photos because of the screens)
