The OnePlus 6T launch is expected to be on October 17. However, there has been no official confirmation to back this claim so far.
OnePlus,
a Chinese smartphone manufacturer, is expected to unveil the OnePlus
6T sometime this month. Before the launch, the company has been
teasing the upcoming smartphone features on its social media
platforms. The recent teaser shows a phone with all-screen design and
in-display fingerprint sensor, the two major upgrades that the phone
would get as a part of upgrade. Speaking of upgrades, the OnePlus 6T
is confirmed to get an in-display fingerprint sensor technology in
which the fingerprint sensor is placed beneath the screen, allowing
the phone to sport a unibody design.
The in-display fingerprint
sensor technology allows a part of the screen to double up as a
biometric recognition module for identifying fingerprints to unlock
the phone. OnePlus’ sister company, Vivo, has been offering this
technology in some of its premium models, such as the Vivo X21, Vivo
Nex and the Vivo V11 Pro.
The
OnePlus 6T is also confirmed to lose the 3.5mm audio jack. More of a
downgrade than upgrade, the trade-off is defended by the company as a
must to utilise the space for new hardware, or maybe a bigger
battery.
Apart
from the changes mentioned above, the OnePlus
6T is also reported to get a new screen format, with a tiny notch
on top. Though the notch area in the OnePlus 6 is among the smallest
when compared with other notch screen-based smartphones, it would be
trimmed even more and reduced to a size of a big dot, enough to
accommodate just the front camera. The Vivo V11 Pro or the Oppo F9
Pro are two smartphones that currently boast such screen designs.
Imaging
is another area that is expected to get improvements. The OnePlus 6T
is expected to get a dual camera module with several software-based
enhancements such as artificial intelligence-based automatic scene
recognition, better low light photography, etc.
Speaking
of technical specifications, the upcoming smartphone is expected to
be similar to the OnePlus 6 i.e. Qualcomm Snapdragon 845
system-on-chip (SoC) and three RAM & storage configurations –
6GB/64GB, 8GB/128GB and 8GB/256GB. The phone is expected to come in
midnight black and mirror black colour options, and a white and red
colour options will be added later.
As
for the price, OnePlus surprised its community last year by keeping
the price of the OnePlus 5T similar to the OnePlus 5. However,
chances are slim that the company would repeat the step with the
OnePlus 6T. The phone is expected to get a nominal price hike. It is
expected to cost less than Rs 40,000 – at least the base model with
6GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage. The OnePlus 6T launch is
expected to be on October 17. However, there has been no official
confirmation to back this claim so far.
