Design and Display

OnePlus 6T pictures are leaked all over the internet and will come with a waterdrop notch if all the leaks are true. The display will be very much similar to the one we have seen on the Oppo F9 Pro. Coming to the display, it is expected to pack a 6.41-inch Full HD+ Optic AMOLED display along with a waterdrop notch making way for the selfie camera. The biggest change for the OnePlus 6T is that the fingerprint scanner placement. The 6T is will come with an in-display fingerprint scanner as it is confirmed by the co-founder himself. It will be very similar to what we have seen on the Vivo Nex S, Vivo V11 Pro, and other few smartphones this year. Further, it will come with the alert slider, which is pretty good and exclusive for OnePlus. Further, OnePlus 6T will not come with the 3.5mm headphone jack, which may be bummer for most of the users who live with wired headsets. Processor and Memory
