But, today in China the company announced Thunder Purple variant of the OnePlus 6T that comes with 8GB RAM + 256GB storage.

OnePlus 6T houses an in-display fingerprint scanner that uses the light to identify the fingerprint and unlock the smartphone on 0.34seconds and also supports face unlock. There is no presence of the 3.5mm headphone jack, the company is packing in a Type-C adapter for those who want to use the wired earphones.
