Why does this story matter?
OnePlus has gained a lot of attention for its high-end smartphones recently. After introducing several top-tier handsets with hefty price tags, it appears that the company is returning to its roots of producing "flagship killer" smartphones with the 10T. The 10T could be an affordable offering with Qualcomm's latest flagship SoC and may undercut competition from Motorola and Xiaomi.
The phone may bear a Full-HD+ AMOLED display
The latest render reveals that the OnePlus 10T will bear an OPPO Reno8-like design with a top-centered punch-hole, slim bezels, and an in-screen fingerprint reader. There will be three cut-outs on the rear for the cameras. The phone may lack the brand's iconic alert slider. The device is tipped to get a 6.7-inch Full-HD+ AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate.
It could house a 50MP main camera
In the camera department, the OnePlus 10T's rear setup may be headlined by a 50MP primary shooter, along with a 16MP ultra-wide sensor, and a 2MP macro lens. On the front, the device could feature a 16MP or 32MP selfie snapper.
A Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC is expected
The OnePlus 10T is likely to be powered by a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset, paired with up to 12GB of RAM and up to 256GB of onboard storage. Globally, the device should boot OxygenOS baked on top of Android 12. Under the hood, it may house a 4,800mAh battery with 150W fast-charging support. Connectivity options will include Wi-Fi 6E, NFC, and Bluetooth 5.3.
