OnePlus finally launched their new major flagship phone the ‘OnePlus 6T’ at an event in New York. The OnePlus 6T is the successor of OnePlus 6. The Chinese smartphone maker had previously given a glimpse of the features of the OnePlus 6T several times. The device specs had leaked several times on the internet revealed about the larger 3,700mAh battery, in-display fingerprint sensor, and no 3.5mm headphone jack.
In the launch event, the company confirmed that the OnePlus 6T will be available in T-Mobile stores, the company’s first deal with a US wireless carrier.
OnePlus 6T Specifications
Coming to the specifications, the new flagship OnePlus 6T is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 that facilitates the Screen Unlock, protected by Google. The company has added five-calibration settings for RGB on the device. The “immersive” screen has a small waterdrop-style notch and a thin chin. The smartphone comes with an in-display fingerprint scanner and the company claims that it is the fastest-performing implementation of in-display fingerprint authentication yet.
Talking about the cameras, the device features a 16-megapixel primary and 20-megapixel secondary camera sensor on the rear and an aperture of f/1.7 for the primary lens. OnePlus 6T comes with a new Nightscape scene that optimizes the photos taken during the night. OnePlus CEO said the smartphone takes about 2 seconds to capture and process the images in the nightscape. The Nightscape feature is also coming to the predecessor OnePlus 6.
