OnePlus may have mistakenly revealed a very first take a look at the OnePlus 8T, thanks to an image found in the current Android 11 designer preview for OnePlus 8-series devices by OxygenUpdater.
However provided the timing of the leak (OnePlus typically releases its fall T-series refreshes in the October to November variety) and the truth that it was found in OnePlus own firmware update, it appears likely that this will be what the OnePlus 8T will appear like– or a minimum of what the front of it will look like.
Presumably, OnePlus will have more information to reveal on the OnePlus 8T in the coming weeks– most likely in a more official manner than an unexpected firmware file.
The dripped image does not use much to go on, simply a front-facing view of the device, which appears to be quite similar to the existing OnePlus 8. Its possible that this image– which is identified OnePlus_8T. webp and is an unique file from the images for the OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro– is merely a placeholder for a different, final style for the OnePlus 8T.
