It has not been a long time since the OnePlus 6 came to market on the 21st of May 2018. Moreover, the OnePlus 6T flagship phone will be in the market from the 6th of November 2018. Knowing that OnePlus 6 was a phone that was low in price, top-notch in trend and absolutely amazing in specifications, what could one expect from the OnePlus 6T?

The all-new OnePlus 6T went public on the 28th of October and will be available in the market pretty soon. The OnePlus 6T has improved from its previous version in bringing out an in-display fingerprint scanner, the “Screen Unlock” and is made almost of Glass with a 3700 mAh Battery and OnePlus followed the Apple Cooperation by removing the headphone jack from the phone.

Let’s see what this phone offers, in detail.

OnePlus 6T Design

The flagship OnePlus 6T is slightly bigger with 6.41 inches display compared to its predecessor which had a 6.28 inches display. Not only does it look bigger when you hold it, but it is also safer from shattering as it has a Corning Gorilla Glass 6 Protection upgrading from the Gorilla Glass 5 in OnePlus 6.

We can also see the notch on the top has come down to a teardrop notch which is a huge development in a bezel-less phone in 2018. The fingerprint scanner is inbuilt and has been removed from the back like in the previous device. Although the inbuilt fingerprint sensor is not a surprise to most of us since the VIVO brought it to the market, this particular technology built into a device which as a result makes it faster and good in performance is a huge plus point.

OnePlus has made the decision to ditch the 3.5mm headphone jack. OnePlus tells that the handset is “water resistant for everyday use”. The new inbuilt touch fingerprint and the new battery has apparently occupied so much space.  OnePlus 6T has the same colors, Mirror Black and Midnight Black.

The Hardware

Although it is true that the device has more improvements in the design area, there are few unnoticeable hardware upgrades to this device. The battery has gone from a 3300 mAh to 3700 mAh. This is a huge upgrade for a fast and efficient smartphone like OnePlus 6T.

The death of the headphone jack and the transition to the type C headphones is another huge hardware upgrade by the OnePlus. Other than these the network connectivity and the camera have no upgrades and same as the OnePlus 6. The device comes with a 128 GB default memory and 6 GB of RAM.

Pricing

There have been no changes in the prices. It is still at $549 for 128GB OnePlus 6T.

The predecessor was priced the same but came with a 64GB internal storage.

The OnePlus 6T will be equipped with Google’s Android Pie OS out of the box, which will come with the firm’s own OxygenOS skin on top.

All in all, the mediocre upgrade of the flagship phone OnePlus6 to OnePlus 6T is definitely an upvote with the new teardrop notch, gorilla glass 6, inbuilt fingerprint, 3700 mAh Battery and a default 128 GB storage with 6GB ram.
