OnePlus 8T allegedly shows up on Geekbench with a new chip and OS
Now that the hoo-ha surrounding the OnePlus Nord has started to wear off, all eyes are on the company's next flagship, the OnePlus 8T. Last year's OnePlus 7T and OnePlus 7T Pro are driven by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 855 Plus, so we are quite certain that their successors will have the new Snapdragon 865 Plus under the hood. And you don't have to take our word for it as folks over at 91mobiles have spotted a OnePlus device on Geekbench 5 boasting this silicon.
Is this the OnePlus 8T we see on Geekbench?
The OnePlus 8T will likely be announced in September and there is probably more work to do. Thus, final results are bound to get better. And, in any case, benchmark scores aren't necessarily reflective of the real-life performance of a device.
Benchmark scores are also easy to spoof, so take this report with a pinch of salt.
OnePlus 8T is tipped to come with a better camera and faster charging
If previous reports are to go by, the OnePlus 8T will swap OnePlus 8's 48MP camera for a 64MP sensor. It is also expected to support 65W Super Warp Charging and at least one of the phones in the series will sport a 120Hz screen. It could also be one of the first handsets to ship with Android 11.
