After a lot of teasing OnePlus finally launched its latest flagship smartphone — OnePlus 8T in India. This is the fourth smartphone of the company to launch this year. Keeping in mind the ongoing competition in the Indian smartphone market, OnePlus has priced the device competitively. OnePlus 8T comes with a starting price tag of Rs 42,999 and it will give a tough fight to the recently launched Samsung Galaxy S20 FE and the Mi 10T Pro smartphones. The smartphone offers a powerful processor, excellent display and 65W fast charging which is not there in its competitors. So, we used the OnePlus 8T for some time to find out how it performs and does it have the power to take on the other two smartphones. Design If you have loved the design of the recently launched OnePlus Nord, then you will surely like the OnePlus 8T as well. The smartphone has borrowed some of the design aspects from the company’s mid-range smartphone. The handset has the same curved rear glass fitted inside the shiny metal ribbon which surrounds the device. One of the major changes in the design aspect of OnePlus 8T is its camera setup. The company has shifted the rear camera from the centre to the top left corner of the device. Along with the change in the camera placement the company has also changed the location to the physical buttons. The front of the smartphone is dominated by a 6.55-inch Fluid AMOLED display,16MP selfie camera and a single microphone placed on the top. The bottom of the smartphone consists of the dual SIM slot, USB Type C port, a microphone and a speaker. You will find the volume rockers on the left, while the power button and the signature OnePlus mute toggle are located on the right on the OnePlus 8T. The rear panel made on glass houses the quad-rear camera setup placed inside a rectangular frame. Along with a slightly protruding camera, the rear panel also consists of the OnePlus branding. All-in-all OnePlus 8T feels great in hand. However, the glass panel makes the device slightly slippery so you will have to keep in mind the grip. Despite a shiny back, the smartphone does not attract fingerprints and its vibrant colour option further enhances the look. The only thing which we feel that the company should have incorporated is the IP rating. It is strange the company missed the IP rating which is offered in the OnePlus 8 Pro. Apart from this, the smartphone will impress you with its design element which makes it look and feel premium and elegant. Display The OnePlus 8T sports a 6.55-inch full HD Fluid AMOLED display with 1080×2400 pixel resolution. The display offers a 120Hz refresh rate and 20:9 aspect ratio. In comparison to OnePlus 8, the company has not increased the size or resolution of the display. The only thing it has changed is the refresh rate. The OnePlus 8 offers a 90Hz display whereas OnePlus 8T comes with a 120Hz refresh rate display. The always-on display of the smartphone is protected with a layer of Corning Gorilla Glass 5 on top. The AMOLED display of the smartphone offers great contrast and packs a lot of punch. The display is bright enough for reading under direct sunlight. With the OnePlus 8T, the company has switched to a flat display and you will notice less glare in comparison to the OnePlus 8. The company has also included various modes for the display like Vivid, Natural and Advanced which users can set as per their preference.
