The OnePlus 8T could exist on its way — only don't expect a big change from the OnePlus 8, as it will expect a lot similar its predecessor.

From some digging into OnePlus' take on the Android 11 Programmer Preview 4 code, the folks at OxygenUpdater institute an image of a phone that'southward plainly a render of the OnePlus 8T.

However, that's not really surprising. OnePlus' 'T' models tend to be minor upgrades over their predecessors launched earlier in the twelvemonth. The only existent exception to this was with the OnePlus 7T, which was a pregnant upgrade over the OnePlus 7. That's partially due to the OnePlus 7 itself being a small refinement on the OnePlus 6T.

But while the external design changes of the T variants of OnePlus phones tend to be minor, the big upgrades take place nether the hood. We'd expect the OnePlus 8T to come with a new Snapdragon 865 Plus scrap, boosting its CPU and graphics performance over its predecessor.

We also await to see Android 11 baked in and potentially some camera upgrades; likely new lenses and improved photography software and image processing. Previous leaks have claimed the OnePlus 8T and the OnePlus 8T Pro could have a 64MP master camera to build upon the 48MP camera found in the OnePlus 8 Pro.

There haven't been a vast amount of rumors aroun the OnePlus 8T, and then we've not got a lot else to proceed when it comes to upgrades and specs. A bump in RAM and storage wouldn't be too surprising, and boosted wireless rapid charging could besides exist on the cards.

While the OnePlus 8 Pro has a lot of flagship-level features, the OnePlus eight doesn't have a 120Hz refresh-rate display, so we'd quite like to run across that upgrade come to the T model. OnePlus tends to reveal the T models in October fourth dimension, and so that's when we'd expect to see if such leaks and rumors prove to exist true.
