OnePlus started teasing its next flagship smartphone, the OnePlus 8T, with an advert starring ‘Iron Man’ Robert Downey Jr. during IPL break time over the weekend. The Chinese giant cannot seem to control its excitement and has revealed the launch date for the OnePlus 8T.
The OnePlus 8T will be unveiled on 14th October at 7:30 PM IST (3:00 PM BST or 10:00 AM EDT), as you can see in the official tweet attached below. The launch date is in line with recent leaks. The company is using the hashtag ‘#UltraStopsAtNothing’ to promote its new flagship phone this time around.
This time round, #UltraStopsAtNothing. Are you ready for the #OnePlus8T?
First up, the OnePlus 8T will feature a flat display as opposed to the curved display we find aboard its predecessor. The company seems to be following Samsung’s footsteps with this approach. It is rumored to be a 6.55-inch Full HD+ AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate – a bump up from the 90Hz refresh rate of its predecessor.

The most significant upgrade, however, is expected on the battery and charging front. OnePlus 8T is rumored to come equipped with a 4,500mAh battery and 65W fast-charging support as opposed to the long-running 30W Warp Charge.
