OnePlus 8T 5G design revealed ahead of October 14 launch

OnePlus has unveiled the OnePlus 8T 5G design ahead of the October 14 launch. The company has refreshed the design of the phone and has also confirmed one colour option. The design showcased by OnePlus in a new blog post reveals the smartphone in Aquamarine Green colour option. There should be more colour options available after the device officially launches. 

“Ever since the OnePlus 6, we've been exploring ways to engineer glass into a back cover that delivers a slightly translucent and refined look, together with a smooth feeling when you touch it. On the OnePlus 8 Pro, we crafted our fifth-generation matte glass cover to offer a silky-smooth texture. This time, we shifted our attention to the glossy glass back to bring you something new,” company CEO Pete Lau said in a blogpost. 

The teaser also reveals that the OnePlus 8T 5G will feature a quad rear camera setup. The camera module sits at the top left corner of the rear panel. In the middle, there’s the OnePlus brand logo in white colour. 

The company has already confirmed that this year there won’t be a Pro T model.  

“Throughout development, we tried and tested hundreds of films before landing on the ideal type, which contains 7 layers, to complement the high-gloss finish and bring out the unique shade between green and blue. We never could have achieved this if we had followed the conventional development process of producing color films, but I’m proud to say that our efforts paid off,” the blogpost further said.  

Meanwhile, OnePlus is also expected to launch a new pair of earphones with the smartphone – OnePlus Buds Z. Another leak suggests that there will be a third device as well called the OnePlus Bullets Wireless Z Bass Edition. They are said to be neckband earphones featuring drivers, magnetic control, and fast charging support.
