OnePlus had been launching two flagships handsets each year for several years now, one in the spring and one in the fall. But this year the firm mixed things up by releasing two handsets, the OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro, together in the spring, and then a lower-end handset, the Nord, this past summer. The OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro were also significantly more expensive than previous OnePlus phones, largely because of their expensive 5G compatible chipsets, but they still nicely undercut the Apple and Samsung flagships.
The OnePlus 8T will be this year’s fall release and, like most smartphones these days, it has been leaked all over the place, so it’s no surprise that the company is simply confirming the expected name and confirming that it’s a new flagship. It’s expected to deliver a Snapdragon 865 or 865+ processor, a 6.55-inch edge-to-edge display with a hole-punch selfie camera, a quad-camera system on the rear, and 65-watt Warp Charge capabilities. We shall see.
