It is worth noting that there is no mention of a OnePlus 8T Pro, suggesting that the company will only launch a standard 8T. Additionally, OnePlus has also not utilized the ‘series’ moniker for the OnePlus 8T. This suggests that we will only see a OnePlus 8T 5G, without a ‘Pro’ variant, in line with the leaks.

The OnePlus 8T will likely be powered by the Snapdragon 865+ SoC. To recall, the OnePlus 7T series also upgraded to the 'Plus' variant of the flagship Snapdragon series chipset at the time. Apart from the chipset, there are two more possible updates coming to the OnePlus 8T 5G.

Firstly, the panel on the OnePlus 8T is expected to be upgraded and will likely feature a 120Hz refresh rate. The resolution will remain the same as the standard OnePlus 8. Additionally, the OnePlus 8T 5G is also expected to get super-fast 65W fast charging support, similar to that of the Realme X50 Pro and Oppo Find X2 Pro. OnePlus will likely reveal more details about the OnePlus 8T 5G in the coming weeks.
