OnePlus is expected to soon launch its upcoming flagship smartphone, the OnePlus 6T. There are many reports that tip at the specifications of the upcoming handset, however, until now, didn't know when exactly OnePlus plans to launch the device. Now, an image of the device’s launch invite has been leaked on Weibo, which suggests that the company might unveil the OnePlus 6T in India on October 17 this year. The date is slightly off from OnePlus’ usual launch cycle as the OnePlus 5T was launched in November last year. Additionally, an image of the launch invite also features the new tagline “Unlock The Speed,” which is most likely a reference to the presence of an in-display fingerprint sensor on the upcoming phone.
The OnePlus 6T is rumoured to feature a ‘waterdrop’ notch display, same as the Oppo R17 Pro or the Vivo V11 Pro. In terms of display size, it is rumoured to sport a 6.4-inch AMOLED screen with a 2340x1080p resolution. As mentioned above, the device is expected to feature an in-display fingerprint scanner and a previously leaked image of the device’s retail box hinted at the same. The smartphone is expected to launch running on the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 SoC, which is coupled with the Adreno 630 GPU. The smartphone was also listed on an online retailers website ahead of the launch. The listing suggests that it could be launched in 6GB and 8GB RAM versions and with 64GB/128GB/256GB of internal storage.
In terms of optics, the OnePlus 6T was rumoured to feature a triple rear camera setup. However, a new leaked image of the device’s rear panel suggests that the company might equip the phone with dual cameras only. The first official TV ad of the smartphone aired recently and it also hinted at the same, although nothing is certain until the device is launched. The OnePlus 6T is confirmed to ditch the 3.5mm audio jack. It could be priced at $550 (Rs 38,000 approx), however, the online listing that revealed most of the upcoming device’s specs was selling it for $569, which approximates to around Rs 41,000.
