OnePlus 8T renders posted online revealing key specifications and design changes
OnePlus 8T renders based on internal schematic design has been posted online, giving us our first look at the upcoming successor to the OnePlus 7T. The OnePlus 8T has been leaked in the past as well, with the phone recently passing through the BIS certification website. There are speculations that we may not see the OnePlus 8T Pro this time around as well.
According to a report by PriceBaba who collaborated with noted leakster OnLeaks for the OnePlus 8T renders, there are subtle design changes that could make it to the final version such as the flat display and rectangular camera module. Some key specifications have also been revealed although, at this point, we would advise our readers to take all of this with a pinch of salt.

— Steve H.McFly (@OnLeaks) September 14, 2020Going by the renders, there are subtle changes to the design over the OnePlus 8 that now includes a rectangular camera module on the back with camera lenses arranged in an ‘L’ shape, much like we have seen on Samsung phones.
The report also states that the OnePlus 8T could come with a flat display instead of the slightly curved screen on the OnePlus 8. Let’s take a look at the leaked specifications of the OnePlus 8T.
OnePlus 8T leaked specificationsOnePlus 8T is rumoured to feature a 6.55-inch Full HD+ (2400 x 1080 pixels) resolution display with a 120Hz high refresh rate. There is a punch-hole cutout on the top-left corner for the selfie camera and the screen is relatively flat than the OnePlus 8.
The OnePlus 8T is expected to be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 Plus processor and could be paired with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage or 12GB+256GB storage options to choose from. The phone is expected to run on OxygenOS 11 that is currently in Open Beta 1.
OnePlus 8T could come with a 48MP primary camera, a 16MP ultra-wide-angle camera, a 5MP macro lens and a 2MP depth sensor. On the front, there is a 16MP selfie camera that is housed in the punch-hole cutout.
The OnePlus 8T could come fitted with a 4,500mAh battery with support for 65W fast charging out-of-the-box. While there is no official word, the OnePlus 8T could launch sometime in October if the company follows its tradition.
