The OnePlus 8T just like its predecessor get a slim and sleek built with Matte AG glass finish. The phone flaunts 6.55-inch full HD+ (2400 x 1080 pixels) Fluid AMOLED display with an ultra-smooth 120 Hz refresh rate and 20:9 aspect ratio. It also features 402ppi pixel density, and supports sRGB and Display P3 colour profiles. The screen also gets an A+ rating from DisplayMate, HDR 10+ and SGS certification. Also, underneath the display is the in-display Fingerprint Sensor.
Under the hood, the OnePlus 8T packs the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 processor coupled with Adreno 650 GPU. This top-of-the-line chip is paired with up to 12GB LPDDR4X RAM and up to 256GB UFS 3.1 2-LANE internal storage. Nop, there is no expandable storage option available. The phone runs on almost stock-like Android 11 OS with OxygenOS skin over the top.
To keep everything cool inside-out during intense gameplay or 4K video shooting the phone comes with a dedicated, multi-layered gaming-grade cooling system.
Adding one more camera, OnePlus 8T now has quad-camera setup at the rear. These include a combination of 48-megapixel primary camera with Sony IMX56 lens, f/1.75 aperture and OIS, EIS support, a 16-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera with 123-degree field of view and f/2.2 aperture, a 5-megapixel macro lens and a 2-megapixel monochrome lens.
This camera array can shoot 4K videos at 60fps and supports both Super Slow Motion and Time-Lapse videos.
At the front, the OnePlus 8T boasts a 16-megapixel Sony IMX471 camera with EIS and f/2.4 aperture housed in the hole-punch cutout at the top left corner of the screen.
As for connectivity, the OnePlus 8T comes with dual nano-SIM slot (dual 4G SIM and single 5G SIM) with support for 5G network along with 4G LTE, VoLTE, VoWiFi, 3G and 2G networks. Other connectivity options include Wi-Fi 6 (802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax) 2×2 MIMO and 2.4G/5G support, Bluetooth 5.1 with support for aptX & aptX HD & LDAC & AAC), NFC and Type-C.

OnePlus 8T carries a 4400 mAh battery (2S1P 2,250 mA) that can last all day long. But the real highlight here is the Warp Charge 65 which offers 65 fast charging solution.
