It's official: OnePlus 7T series to be announced on September 26
We're ten days away from the unveiling of the next "flagship killer" phones by OnePlus. The company just announced that the OnePlus 7T series will be revealed on September 26 in the US and India. Furthermore, OnePlus will be hosting a launch event for the OnePlus 7T series in London on October 10, where fans of the brand will be able to get their hands on the 7T and pick up OnePlus swag along the way.
The OnePlus 7T series is coming soon
That's cool and all, but what exactly is OnePlus going to announce? Well, it appears that the company has several phones to show us, judging by how we're invited to witness the unveiling of the OnePlus 7T series. According to rumors, the phones we should be expecting are OnePlus 7T and the OnePlus 7T Pro.
We can also rest assured that a 90Hz display refresh rate will be a key stand-out feature of whatever phones are to be announced. Additionally, the 10-second video teaser OnePlus shared shows glimpses of two color variants: black and blue. The rest is a mystery for now, but something tells us that more details will be revealed in the form of teasers in the days to come.
The OnePlus 7T and 7T Pro: the rumors so far
Over the past few weeks, lots of unconfirmed details about the OnePlus 7T and 7T have surfaced. It is claimed that both phones will be powered by the Snapdragon 855+ chip – the fastest smartphone SoC Qualcomm has to offer right now, with an emphasized boost in graphics performance.
While the 7T Pro is expected to look much like the OnePlus 7 Pro, pop-up camera and all, the OnePlus 7T could sport a circular camera design at the back. The 7T may also gain a third camera at the back – a 12MP telephoto snapper with 2x zoom abilities.
Interestingly, rumors suggest that OnePlus is partnering with McLaren once again to release a special edition device for its biggest fans. The OnePlus 7T Pro McLaren Edition appears to be a variant of the phone sporting a carbon fiber back design coupled with bright orange accents. No less importantly, the variant of the phone may support 5G and could launch in the US as a Verizon exclusive.
