OnePlus never confirmed it is working on the OnePlus 8T smartphone, until today when it dropped a hint that such a device is indeed in the pipeline. The company tweeted a somewhat cryptic message that reads, ‘Its tea time.’ It is not too hard to figure out the above has to do with the new OnePlus 8T smartphone.
Noted leaker Ishan Agarwal though, has something more substantive to share on this, claiming that the upcoming OnePlus flagship would be launching on October 14. The timing is interesting considering that the company had launched the OnePlus 7T in September. However, the shift to a mid-October launch schedule for the 8T is likely due to the ongoing pandemic though the company is yet to confirm this.
Exclusive for @mysmartprice: It’s happening! The OnePlus 8T launch event date has been set for October 14.
Unless of course there are last minute changes (that’s 2020 for you!).
More products? 🤷🏻♂️. But I’m Excited! #OnePlus8T
