OnePlus 6T will pack a bigger 3,700mAh battery, suggests leak
OnePlus is working to launch OnePlus 6T - the 'T' version upgrade of its OnePlus 6 flagship. So far, several leaks have pointed towards a waterdrop-like notched display, an in-display fingerprint sensor, improved dual-rear cameras, and no headphone jack. In the latest development, a Weibo post claims OnePlus 6T will pack a bigger 3,700mAh battery. Here's everything we know so far.
OnePlus 6T to feature waterdrop-like notch
OnePlus 6T is expected to drop the wider display cut-out in favor of a smaller, waterdrop-like notch to boast a higher screen-to-body ratio than its predecessor. The phone is expected to pack a 6.41-inch display with 19.5:9 aspect ratio and 2340x1080 pixel resolution. Moreover, it will be slightly bigger than OnePlus 6 and is tipped to measure at 157.5x75.7x8.2mm (8.6mm at the camera bump).
OnePlus 6T will feature an in-display fingerprint sensor
In a recent TV ad, Amitabh Bachchan had confirmed the in-display fingerprint sensor by calling it "a cooler way to unlock your phone" while phrases like "Touch for innovation" add to the curiosity. Moreover, this aligns with the previous leaks wherein a OnePlus 6T retail box confirmed the new feature. Notably, another tip-off suggests OnePlus 6T won't house a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor.
Tipster claims no triple rear-camera and no rear fingerprint sensor
Leak suggests 3,700mAh battery, no headphone jack confirmed
Interestingly, OnePlus co-founder Carl Pei had recently confirmed that OnePlus 6T won't have a 3.5mm headphone jack. Hence, a safe guess is that the upcoming flagship will come bundled with the recently launched OnePlus USB-Type C Bullet headphones. Further, as stated above, OnePlus 6T will pack a 3,700mAh battery - a decent upgrade over 3,300mAh battery on the OnePlus 6.
What else to expect from OnePlus 6T?
Well, OnePlus 6T came with top-end internals and 6T, which appears more of a design upgrade, would retain similar specs. Hence, the phone should be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor, paired with up to 8GB RAM and up to 256GB of storage option. Moreover, we should also see improved optics on the dual-rear camera setup, considering a triple-rear camera is not happening.
Price and Availability
According to an alleged launch event invite spotted on Weibo, OnePlus 6T's launch event will happen in India on October 17. Further, Amazon has already activated an exclusive listing page, suggesting the launch is imminent. Previous reports suggest the price of OnePlus 6T is tentatively set at $550 (approximately Rs. 36,000), a minor increase from OnePlus 6's starting price of $529.
