OnePlus is on a roll. We’ve already had the excellent OnePlus 8, OnePlus 8 Pro and OnePlus Nord this year, and the OnePlus 8T is closing out 2020 in style as well – but how does this new flagship stack up against the rest of the competition?
OnePlus knows how to make a great-looking phone – and in this case the impressive aesthetics start with a 6.55-inch, 1,080 x 2,400 resolution, HDR10+ AMOLED display. Colours are bright, details are sharp, and scrolling is super-smooth thanks to the 120Hz refresh rate. It’s fantastic for everything from movies to games.
The phone comes equipped with a four-camera setup on the back: a 48MP wide, a 16MP ultrawide, a 5MP macro and a 2MP depth. While it’s not up there with the very best phone cameras on the market – there’s no optical zoom, for example – the rear camera array is certainly no slouch, and it’s going to get you very good photos in most situations.
The OnePlus 8T comes with a Snapdragon 865 processor – the best Android chip this year, except for the Snapdragon 865 Plus. You also get 8GB or 12GB of RAM, and 128GB or 256GB of internal storage. As you would expect, the phone absolutely zips along no matter what you’re trying to do with it – multiple browser tabs and demanding games are absolutely no problem.
