The OnePlus 8T, which was previously revealed to have a new Warp Charge 65 technology and 120Hz refresh rate, has been announced.
The Warp Charge 65 tech was first highlighted in a September forum post, which said that the device’s 4500mAh battery could be fully charged in 39 minutes, and charges up to nearly 58% in 15 minutes. The power adapter has a dual-end Type-C port design.
The Warp Charge 65 power adapter supports up to 45W PD fast charge, while the phone itself will support up to 27W for non-Warp Charge power adapters. There is no wireless charging support.
The screen’s 120Hz refresh rate was initially highlighted in another forum post. As for the screen itself, it’s a 6.55-inch 1080p+ AMOLED panel with a peak brightness of up to 1,100 nits and an AI that can adjust brightness levels.
Inside is a Snapdragon 865 chip and storage options of 8GB+128GB and 12GB+256GB, with the RAM being of the LPDDR4X variety. The phone comes with Android 11.
For cameras, it has a quad-setup with a 48MP main camera, a 16MP ultra wide camera with a wider lens than other OnePlus phones, a 5MP macro camera, and a 2MP monochrome camera. It will have a 16MP selfie camera as well, according to the official specs. In addition, the video camera now has a Portrait mode with AI algorithm assistance.

The 8T also has an Always On Display mode, and is OnePlus’ first phone to have it. An AI algorithm will select your gallery’s best portrait shots to be used as an AOD wallpaper. You can also use your Bitmoji avatar due to OnePlus’ partnership with Snapchat.
