TREMENDOUS - OnePlus 8T

The ‘T’ variant of the OnePlus 8 is here with fast charging and improved display

- 

It’s been a different kind of a year for all of us and for OnePlus too. Their phone launches increased this year but it focused on the sub-30k range. Now to wrap up 2020, OnePlus has launched the OnePlus 8T that sells alongside the OnePlus 8 but bests the predecessor in some ways.

The OnePlus 8T is a good looking phone but there are subtle design changes that makes it a little different from the OnePlus 8. The curvy display is gone and instead, we have a flat display with the selfie camera on the top left and an integrated fingerprint sensor. There’s a new camera placement and clear glass finish at the back. We got an Aquamarine Green variant to test and while we had some doubts on the colour, it is a well-designed colour. However, if you are looking for a more serious option, there’s Lunar Silver as well. The key and port placements remain the same with the power button and alert slider on the right while the volume key on the left. The SIM card slot and USB Type-C port are at the bottom. Overall, the OnePlus 8T has a more practical design when compared to the OnePlus 8.

Despite the screen size matching its older sibling at 6.55-inches, the OnePlus 8T display comes with a higher refresh rate. It has a 120Hz refresh rate for smoother scrolling along with improved gaming experience. The Fluid AMOLED panel supports Full HD+ resolution (2400x1080), HDR10+ and a peak brightness of 1100 nits.
