OnePlus 6T: At a glance
To recall, OnePlus 6T features a downsized waterdrop-like notched display with a marginally slimmer bottom bezel as seen on the OnePlus 6, to boast an increased screen-to-body ratio of 86%. With the new notch, the notification LED light has been killed. On the rear, there's a dual-camera setup housed in a glass panel but no dedicated scanner - thanks to the in-display fingerprint sensor.

However, the company has offered an improved Portrait mode and an all-new Nightscene which offers better images in low-light. Up front, the 6T retains its predecessor's 16MP (f/2.0) RGB camera that assists Face unlock feature.
