Summing up the OnePlus 8T the day before the launch

Only tomorrow will the flagship OnePlus 8T be officially revealed. Often seen as a slight upgrade device of a flagship that just launched before, but rumors about the OnePlus 8T show that this upcoming flagship series also has some notable differences compared to its predecessor. .

According to popular leaker OnLeaks, this year OnePlus will only launch a single 8T device, instead of adding a Pro version as often seen years ago. Not only that, the leaked images of this flagship show that the features in the previous OnePlus design language are no longer available.

Rumors suggest that the front of the OnePlus 8T will still be a 5.5-inch Fluid AMOLED display with a single-mole selfie camera. However, now the screen will be flattened instead of beveled on both sides like its predecessor. In fact, not all users are delighted with the curved screen as it can reduce content display space a bit, and it is also harder to find a screen protector.

The screen resolution will still be Full HD +, similar to the OnePlus 8, but inferior to the OnePlus 8 Pro’s WQHD + (1440 x 3168). In return, the OnePlus 8T screen will have a 120Hz refresh rate, a significant upgrade compared to 90 Hz on the OnePlus 8 screen and on par with the refresh rate on the OnePlus 8 Pro.

However, what may disappoint many people is the 8T back panel design as OnePlus itself confirmed it through a video preview a few days ago.

Similar to previous leaked images, the video shows that the 4-camera cluster and dual flash on the back are placed in a rectangular module in the upper left corner of the body, instead of being arranged in a vertical row. on the back featured before Currently, the arrangement of the camera cluster into a rectangular module in the left corner of the camera body has become too common and even very easy to confuse with competitors like the Galaxy S20.

According to leaked information from OnLeaks, the OnePlus 8T’s quad-camera cluster will include a 48MP wide-angle camera, a 16MP ultra-wide-angle camera, a 5MP macro camera and a 2MP depth-sensing camera. Moreover, with confirmation from OnePlus itself, the selfie camera on the 8T will be an ultra-wide-angle camera, helping users capture more of the scene even if it’s just a single camera.

However, the teaser video also shows that an unmistakable OnePlus feature remains, the turquoise (Aquamarine Green) of the back. Although seen as a new color, but this color is still a variant of Glacial Green on the OnePlus 8.

The back of the new OnePlus 8T will be a glossy back like OnePlus 8, not a matte glass back like the Pro version. OnePlus says it has used up to 7 different layers of ingredients to be able to create a premium glass back with blue and green effects blending together on the OnePlus 8T.

While the exterior design is different, the internal configuration of the OnePlus 8T has not changed much compared to its predecessor. Rumors show that the processor is still Snapdragon 865 with 2 memory versions, 8GB RAM + 128GB ROM and 12GB RAM + 256GB ROM.

Another small but also very worthwhile change for the OnePlus 8T is its fast charging capabilities. Instead of 30W fast charging like the OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro devices, this ability of the OnePlus 8T is upgraded to 65W, significantly superior to its predecessor.

Although most information about the OnePlus 8T has been revealed with quite high accuracy, we still have to wait until tomorrow to know exactly, hidden behind the slight upgrades compared to the previously launched OnePlus 8 series, This new flagship still contains some mysteries.
