OnePlus 8T

All In For The Display
If you’ve seen the OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro, then you would have seen the OnePlus 8T in spirit. Like its brothers, the OnePlus 8T offers a premium design that’s close enough to compete with top-shelf flagship mobiles. Other than the flat front, its design language is identical to the OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro, and it feels undeniably premium when you observe the phone from hole to hole.

Specifications-wise, the 5G-ready OnePlus 8T offers a flat 6.55inch, 1080p OLED display with 120Hz refresh rate, a similar quad-rear camera configuration, and a 4,500mAh battery. That’s nearly identical to the OnePlus 8 Pro, but the differences lie within the details.

OnePlus 8T has no rated water resistance, while using OnePlus 8’s main camera sensor instead (Sony IMX586), and offers 65W (10V/6.5A) fast charging with no wireless charging capabilities. Features - like NFC, in-display fingerprint sensor, Face Unlock, USB Type-C connector with USB 3.1 Gen 1 speeds, dual stereo speakers, dual nano-SIM card tray, no physical expandable storage options, and even the chipset (Qualcomm Snapdragon 865) - stays on the 8T.
