OnePlus is now gearing up to launch its new flagship smartphone of the year — OnePlus 8T, which is slated to go official on 14th October. Ahead of the official launch, the company’s CEO Pete Lau has taken to Weibo to hint at some of its features.
In a Weibo post, Pete Lau says that a true flagship smartphone should be lag-free for at least three years and adds that this is the problem with many so-called flagship phones. He then states that the OnePlus 8T will provide a smooth user experience for at least 3 years.
Apart from that, the phone is also set to offer a smooth screen given that the display on the OnePlus 8T will support a 120Hz refresh rate, as confirmed by the company. This is an upgrade compared to the 90Hz refresh rate in the OnePlus 8.
Interestingly, the phone will come with support for Full HD+ screen resolution. As per the report, the device will have a 6.5-inch S-AMOLED display panel with a punch-hole cutout for housing the front-facing camera.
