Authentic article beneath… we’re updating this because the cellphone is introduced on stage, so please bear with us as we replace this text. You will discover all the things we knew earlier than simply down beneath right here.

OnePlus 6T design and show

Hottest leaks:

• A teardrop notch and minimal bezel
• No IP score

The OnePlus 6T may not be official but however some options are, as OnePlus has confirmed that the cellphone can have an in-screen scanner known as Display screen Unlock.

Apparently the cellphone can even have a extra unibody design than its predecessor.

The corporate did not say the rest in regards to the design, however now we have seen some leaked photographs posted on a German webstore, which give us an in depth have a look at the probably design of the 6T. You may see them beneath, full with a teardrop notch and a dual-lens rear digital camera.

The identical supply additionally revealed that the OnePlus 6T is seemingly 157.5 x 74.eight x eight.2mm and 185g, and has a 6.Four-inch 1080 x 2340 AMOLED display with a pixel density of 402 pixels per inch.

We have additionally seen different leaked images which can be apparently official advertising and marketing photographs, so if that is true then they need to present the ultimate design of the OnePlus 6T.

They present a teardrop notch above the display fairly than the massive notch on the OnePlus 6, whereas across the again there’s nonetheless a dual-lens digital camera, however the flash has been moved barely as there is not any fingerprint scanner.

The photographs present the cellphone in each Midnight Black and Mirror Black, with the previous apparently having a frosted end.

We have additionally seen different leaked renders. These are apparently primarily based on factorys CADs (computer-aided designs) and you’ll see them beneath.

They match with the photographs above, exhibiting that the cellphone has a teardrop notch housing a single-lens digital camera on the entrance, a slim bezel beneath the display and a dual-lens digital camera on the again.

Together with the renders, the supply claims that the OnePlus 6T is 157.5 x 75.7 x eight.2mm, rising to eight.6mm the place the digital camera stands out, making it barely bigger and thicker than the OnePlus 6.

Nonetheless, we have additionally seen earlier leaked renders, which look related however present a triple-lens rear digital camera.

So we’re not sure which is correct but, however most rumors appear to recommend that the OnePlus 6T will simply have a dual-lens digital camera.

We have additionally seen several photos seemingly exhibiting the retail field, which handily additionally features a sketch of the OnePlus 6T.

That sketch matches the renders above, exhibiting a small teardrop notch on the high housing a single-lens digital camera, a slim bezel beneath the display and a fingerprint icon on the show, hinting on the now-confirmed in-screen scanner.

The photographs, which you’ll be able to see beneath, do not present the again of the OnePlus 6T, however the design is kind of similar to the Oppo R17 and Oppo R17 Professional, and there is cause to consider that the OnePlus 6T could share several of the features found on the Oppo R17.

That is as a result of earlier OnePlus handsets have bore greater than a passing resemblance to Oppo telephones (each producers are owned by the identical agency), so the hyperlink right here is not all that tough to fathom.

Which may imply that the OnePlus 6T has a 6.Four-inch Full HD+ display, 8GB of RAM, a 25MP front-facing digital camera and both a 16MP/5MP dual-lens rear digital camera or a triple-lens one, just like the setup discovered on the R17 Professional.

OnePlus 6T digital camera

Hottest leaks:

• A dual-lens 16MP/20MP rear digital camera
• A single-lens 16MP front-facing digital camera

Our greatest trace but at what specs the OnePlus 6T’s digital camera might need come from an early store listing, which says it has two f/2.zero lenses on the again, one in every of which is 16MP and the opposite 20MP. The identical itemizing says there is a 16MP snapper on the entrance.

Alternatively, as famous above, the OnePlus 6T might have an analogous digital camera to both the Oppo R17 (which has a 16MP and 5MP dual-lens pairing), or the Oppo R17 Professional (which has a 12MP variable aperture lens which might swap between f/1.5 and f/2.Four apertures, a 20MP f/2.6 lens and a ToF 3D stereo lens – so three lenses in complete).

However we’re unsure which (if both) of them it could be like, as whereas some leaked renders above present three lenses, plenty of others present two.

For one factor there’s the leaked render beneath, which reveals simply two lenses, however there’s additionally an official teaser video for the cellphone which features a glimpse on the again. Sadly a part of it’s coated by somebody’s hand, so we will not be certain a lens is not coated, however solely two are seen.

At this level most leaks level to 2 lenses, in order that’s our greatest guess. Nonetheless many lenses it has although, the digital camera on the OnePlus 6 is perhaps good however not fairly a match for some rivals.

We are saying that as a result of one other leak recommend it is set to score 99 on DxOMark (a revered digital camera assessment website). That is greater than the 96 of the OnePlus 6, however decrease than various different telephones.

Nonetheless, if nothing else it is perhaps good in low gentle, as a camera sample shared by OnePlus itself (and oddly seemingly taken with a 13MP lens, which does not match different leaks) suggests as a lot.
