OnePlus launched the OnePlus 6 smartphone in the year of 2018. Before the OnePlus 6T, it was the flagship model offered by the company. The OnePlus 6 was originally launched with Android 8.1 Oreo. Late last year the company rolled the OxygenOS 9 OTA update for the device. The OxygenOS 9.0.3 incremental update is now available for the smartphone which improves various existing features.
OxygenOS 9.0.3 Changelog
System- The latest update improves both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth stability for better connectivity. It adds the latest December 2018 Android security patch to the device along with some minor bug fixes.
Camera- The 9.0.3 update for the OnePlus 6 also improves a lot of camera features. It improves the Nightscape performance and slow-motion video capture performance. Additionally, image processing is more optimized than before.
Earphone and Communication- One major change that the update brings is the addition of an Audio tuner for Bluetooth earphones. This will allow the users to manually control each settting like bass, and treble. Another minor change is the VoLTE support for Boygue France network.
Earlier this week, a listing had given us an idea about the existence of a OnePLus 6T Thunder Purplevariant. The listing now seems legit as official press images of the same have now been leaked. The OnePlus 6T Thunder Purple sure does look great. It also hints at the fact that OnePlus may have some more variants of their latest flagship in store for us.
This trend was started way back with the OnePlus 5T. The 5T saw a limited edition variant launching sometime after the smartphone itself was launched. The OnePlus 6 also carried forward this trend by releasing two new colours, Silk White and Red, followed by an Avengers Limited Edition device. Keeping this in mind, it is safe to say that we might see the launch of many other colours and maybe even limited editions of the OnePlus 6T.
Last month, a listing on a German website had given us a glance at an ‘Ultimate Edition’ OnePlus 6T. But it was taken down soon after. The listing detailed just a 100 pieces of this truly limited device. However, OnePlus is yet to make a comment on any new editions of the OnePlus 6T which we might see in the future.
OnePlus 6T
The OnePlus 6T is the latest flagship by OnePlus. The phone sports a 6.41 inch Super AMOLED display with a water drop notch. It has a 2340 x 1080 px resolution and a 402 ppi density. The most striking feature is its in-display fingerprint sensor. The OnePlus 6T is power a 3,700 mAh battery which supports Dash Charging. Running on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 SoC, it runs Oxygen OS based on Android 9 Pie, out of the box. The device has 6 GB and 8 GB RAM options along with 128 GB and 256 GB storage options. The display has Corning Gorilla Glass Protection and it is better water sealed due to the absence of a headphone jack. It has a 16 MP + 20 MP dual rear camera setup along with a 16 MP front camera.
The OnePlus 6T is the latest in the line of ‘flagship killers’ from OnePlus. The device sports a company-first, in-display fingerprint sensor, a water drop notch, bigger screen and battery and improved camera and performance. What the phone did lack at its launch, was a bit of colour. While the OnePlus 6T has a lot of colours on its AMOLED display, the device in itself is only available in Midnight Black and Mirror Black variants. This might change as a listing of the device showed an option that is sure to make you excited; the OnePlus 6T Thunder Purple.
Thunder Purple Listing
Rumoured Thunder Purple
With such an exciting name, we just hope that the device looks as great as it sounds. The Thunder Purple variant was listed for a brief while after the Keynote at the New York launch ended on 29 October. It was taken down soon after, but not quick enough to escape the eyes of ever-so vigilant leakers and fans. The new colour variant is sure to add another level of excitement to the OnePlus 6T which is already available on sale in India, starting at a price of Rs 37,999 for its 6 GB + 128 GB base variant.
OnePlus 6T Specifications
The OnePlus 6T sports a 6.41 inch Optic AMOLED display with a water drop notch, which gives it an improved screen-to-body ratio of 86% over the 83% on the OnePlus 6. The display has a 2340 x 1080 px resolution and a 402 ppi pixel density. The phone runs on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 SoC and has 6 GB and 8 GB RAM variants. The device has internal storage options of 128 GB and 256 GB, with OnePlus eliminating the 64 GB version due to low demand. The display has Corning Gorilla Glass 6 protection.
The phone has an in-display fingerprint sensor, which the company claims is the fastest and most secure in-dispaly sensor on the market right now. It packs a 3,700 mAh battery with Dash Charge support. The 6T has a 16 MP + 20 MP dual rear camera setup and a 16 MP front facing camera. The camera features some software upgrades such as an improved night mode and studio lighting effects. The OnePlus 6T runs on Oxygen OS based on Android 9 Pie.
The OnePlus 6T is available on Amazon and the OnePlus official website. The phone will be available via select offline retailers as well, starting November 4th.
Oneplus 6 users were wary of whether the new software updates on the OnePlus 6T will bleed to the older model or not. At the launch the company declared that all the new software features will arrive at the Oneplus 6 as well. Now the new update is here and lets go over the features once more!
New Navigation Gestures
In the last update, there were several issues that users complained about. Using the Gesture Navigations made it difficult for the user to summon the Google assistant. Now with the new update, you can access the Google Assistant using the power button. Many new gestures are also added. The gestures are now much more fluidic and looks better. The overall experience is completely different. Switching between apps is also quite different.
Improved UI
The user interface has been changed quite a bit. Although it is not apparent at first glance, the User Interface has smaller changes that make using the Oneplus 6 on a day to day basis much easier and smoother. According to the company, it has a dedicated team that solely focusses on making the machine Fast, Stable and Efficient and this team is aptly named Team FSE. This includes a Reading mode that makes the screen darker and makes it look like it has a matt finish. The dark mode now also darkens the notification panel, menu and everything else to go dark. For the reading mode, specific applications such as Google Play Books and Kindle can be preset to open in reading mode only.
Night Mode and Studio Lighting
A massive change in terms of the camera include the addition of Night Mode and Studio Lighting. The night mode, through software changes, enables better night mode photography. The improved night time camera capabilities will enable the Oneplus 6 to take better low light images. The nightscape reduces the ISO and the shutter speed and compared to the usual 5 seconds required to take a night shot, the Oneplus will take 2 seconds thus reducing the chance for camera shake. The studio lighting enables normal portraits to get a better lighting that does not make it look unnatural. This mode accentuates the facial features and allows for better portraits.
Other changes include the usual updated Android security patch which OnePlus is quite regular with. The screenshot experience has also received an update. The update also implements a new Google quick search box design. The zooming gesture and magnification in the gallery also improves with this update.
According to OnePlus, the update will roll out in stages. A few users will receive the update today while a broader rollout will begin in the next few days.
The OnePlus 6T was launched in India on October 30th and the device is already getting updates. We are all familiar with OnePlus’s Oxygen OS which provides an almost stock Android experience, almost mirroring that of the Google Pixel. Additionally, the OnePlus 6 is also the one of the first devices to receive Android 9 Pie, second only to the Google Pixel. Therefore, it is no surprise that the Oneplus 6T has already started receiving updates.
The Oxygen OS 9.0.4 update is rolling out to all the OnePlus 6T devices and brings in changes in the Nightscape feature and some security updates. Since the camera hardware used in the 6T is the same as the OnePlus 6, the company had to look for ways to make sure that the performance improves. The Nightscape feature on the OnePlus 6T claims to improve the lowlight performance of the camera. As of now, Nightscape does offer visible improvements, but not something that is a game-changer. The slight upgrades brought by this update might change that. It also added studio lighting to enhance pictures taken by the phone.
The update also includes power consumption optimisations, bug fixes and improvements to the Screen Unlock feature. The update also mentions brand new navigation gestures, but we are not sure as to what that means as the OnePlus 6T had new navigation gestures out of the box.
OnePlus had also announced that the OnePlus 6 will be receiving the Nightscape and Studio Lighting update starting today. The OnePlus 6T starts at a price of Rs 37,999 in India. The 6T has a 6.41 inch AMOLED display with a water-drop notch and a fingerprint sensor built into the display. The device sports a 3,700 mAh battery. It has a dual 16 MP + 20 MP rear camera setup and runs on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 SoC. The device will be available on Amazon and the OnePlus website starting November 1. The device will also be available through offline retailers starting November 4.
The OnePlus 6T has been launched in India at an event held by OnePlus in New delhi. The phone is the successor to the OnePlus 6 and has a larger display, which replaces the traditional notch with a water-drop notch, which is less invasive. The fingerprint sensor has also been moved into the display. Internal specifications mostly remain the same, apart from a few distinct features.
The device has been launched at a starting price of Rs 37,999 and will be available starting November 1st on Amazon and the OnePlus website .
What’s New
OnePlus has worked hard in the design of the 6T to make sure that they deliver something unique. Apart from changes in the display, the phone is also now better water-sealed thanks to the lack of a headphone jack. Although it does not have an official rating yet, company officials claim that it is close to an IP 67 rating which will protect it from submersion in depths upto 1 metre. The display has Corning Gorilla Glass 6 which offers a high degree of protection, but OnePlus has pre-applied a screen protector to the device to ensure more safety.
The company has also gotten rid of the 64 GB storage variant due to lesser demand of the same. The RAM configurations of the phone remains the same as the OnePlus 6, with 6 GB and 8 GB options. Rumours about the microSD card slot in the 6T turned out to be false as the device does not have a slot for the same, but has a dual SIM card slot with 4G capability in both.
The display is a bigger, 6.41 inch Optic AMOLED display with a 2340 x 1080 px resolution and 402 ppi pixel density. The device has a 19:5:9 aspect ratio, owing to the water-drop notch which can also be hidden by accessing settings. The phone has a greater, 86% screen-to-body ratio compared to the 83% on the OnePlus 6.
What’s Same
The Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 SoC is the same as seen on the OnePlus 6. Despite firing at the same speed, the phone is expected to be faster, thanks to performance and gaming improvements. It has Smart Boost which claims to improve the app cold start speed by 5-20 %.
The 6T uses the same sensors as its predecessor for its camera. It has a 16 MP + 20 MP dual camera setup at the back. Both the cameras have an f/1.7 aperture. The 6T records 4K 2160p video at 30 or 60fps. There are improvements in the main camera which does boost its performance. These include Nightscape, which make images taken in extreme low-light better by improving the sharpness, quality and the amount of light that in the scene. The main camera also has portrait mode and continuous to get OIS. The front camera has a 16 MP sensor with an f/2.0 aperture. It can record 1080p video at 30 fps.
The OnePlus 6T runs Oxygen OS based on Android 9 Pie with a 3,700 mAh battery. This is bigger, compared to the 3,300 mAh battery on the OnePlus 6.
Price & Availability
The phone has been launched at a price of Rs 37,999 for its 6 GB RAM + 128 GB Storage variant. The smartphone ships bundled with the OnePlus Type-C Bullets free. Additionally, you can avail Rs 1000 cash back on Citi Bank cards and a Rs 2000 discount on ICICI cards.
The OnePlus 6T, as a revision, is one of the most anticipated phones to be launched this year. The phone is the successor to the OnePlus 6 which has proven to be a tough competition for even flagship devices. The update is in the typical OnePlus fashion, but this time around, it features a lot of changes.

What Has Changed
In terms of look and feel, the OnePlus 6T is slightly different. The phone weighs a tad bit more than the OnePlus 6 and is also a bit thicker. However, when you hold and use it, it has the same feeling with its glass finish and good build quality. The 6T has a larger, 6.41 inch display, making it a bit taller than the OnePlus 6. The display sports a much smaller water-drop notch which houses the 3-in-1 ambient, distance/RGB sensor and front-facing camera.
The fingerprint sensor on the phone is now present under the display, which is one of the biggest changes brought around by the 6T. Using the sensor present on the display takes some time to get used to, but it is very responsive. One must make sure to use the entire thumb while setting up the fingerprint sensor. If you use just the tip of your thumb, the sensor might not be able to read your thumb when you use it. Although we need more time to test the fingerprint sensor completely, we are sure of the fact that it is better than other in-display sensors we have tested before. You can also continue to hold the area of the fingerprint sensor to access a quick access app drawer which is customisable, to get to your favourite apps.
Another big change is the lack of the 3.5 mm headphone jack. The fact that most of the companies are doing the same, and now that OnePlus has also adopted it, might hint at the fact that the headphone jack will be obsolete in some time. Another physical change is the ability to long press the power button to launch the Google Assistant. Which is similar to activating Siri on the iPhone.
The phone has a new Smart Boost feature which improves the app cold start speed by 5 to 20 percent. Its does so by storing the data from frequently used apps in the phones RAM. Currently, the device applies it to gaming apps but the feature reach other apps with future updates.
Under The Hood
The internals on the OnePlus 6T are the same as the OnePlus 6. It runs on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 SoC with the Adreno 630 GPU. The device has 6 GB and 8 GB RAM variants. There is a slight change in terms of internal storage with the OnePlus 6T having a 128 GB base model and another 256 GB variant. Under the hood, the OnePlus 6T packs a bigger, 3,700 mAh battery.
The OnePlus 6T has the same 16 MP + 20 MP f/1.7 dual camera setup as the OnePlus 6. The front camera is also, the same 16 MP f/2.0 sensor as before. However, the company has made software improvements which it claims have improved camera performance. The device has a new Nightscape mode which claims to offer better images in low light conditions without losing sharpness and improving the image output. The device also offers overall improvements in terms of image quality and dynamic range.
Overall, when compared to the OnePlus 6, the one can’t really see a big difference in terms of performance.
Price & Availability In India
The OnePlus 6T has been launched at a starting price of $ 549, globally. The Indian launch of the device is set for the 30th of October. The 6 GB + 128 GB variant costs Rs 36,999 in India. The OnePlus 6T ships bundled with the OnePlus Type-C Bullets for free. Additionally, you can avail Rs 1000 cash back on Citi Bank cards and a Rs 2000 discount on ICICI cards.
The OnePlus 6T has been launched at an event held by OnePlus in New York. The phone is the successor to the OnePlus 6 and will carry forward the title of the ‘flagship killer’. The OnePlus 6T has features which set it apart from not only its predecessor but also other similarly priced devices. The new design has a larger display, which replaces the traditional notch with a water-drop notch, which is less invasive. The fingerprint sensor has also been moved into the display. This is the 4th generation in-dispaly fingerprint sensor and is expected to be much faster than the ones seen on the likes of the Vivo Nex. Internal specifications mostly remain the same, apart from a few distinct features.

The OnePlus 6T is set to launch on the 29th of October and prior to the launch, the company invited YouTuber Mrwhostheboss, aka Arun Maini, to visit the OnePlus headquarters in Shenzhen, China. Arun shared a few prototypes of OnePlus 6’s unreleased gradient back panels.
Gradient Back: Hot or Not?
Gradient back panels look futuristic and are a complete departure from the conventional monochrome-back smartphones. Huawei and Vivo were one of the first companies to offer their smartphones in gradient back color options. P20 was the first the smartphone from Huawei which was available in gradient colours and it definitely grabbed a lot of attention. Recently, Samsung also launched their five camera Galaxy A9 in three different gradient back colours.
Gradient Back OnePlus!
The pictures posted by Arun show 18 different gradient color back panels for the previously launched OnePlus 6. The photos reveal gradient back panels ranging from pink and silver to glittery purple and gradient green colours. The unreleased back panels surely look beautiful and are bound to catch your eye. Surprisingly, none of the gradient back panels made it to the retail OnePlus 6. The device is only available in four different colours which are Silk white, Flame Red, Midnight Black, and Mirror Black. However, with the rise in demand of these gradient colours OnePlus might launch the upcoming OnePlus 6T with some of these color panels.
The launch of the OnePlus 6T is right around the corner and we won’t have to wait for long to know whether any of these stylish panels become a reality or not.
The launch of the OnePlus 6T is set for the 29th of October, barely a few days away. The device has been subjected to many leaks, including the most recent one which detailed the alleged specifications sheet. With almost so many rumours about the device out there, we round it up for you to ensure that you know everything there is about the upcoming flagship.
Design
The OnePlus 6T does sport some major design changes. The device has water-drop notch on the display, compared to the traditional notch featured by its predecessor. The water-drop notch is comparatively smaller and covers an area which is just enough to house the front camera sensor. The device is expected to have thinner bezels as well, resulting in a higher screen-to-body ratio. On the back, the device has a dual camera setup accompanied by the LED flash. The physical fingerprint scanner is no longer present as the device has now incorporated an in-display fingerprint scanner.
Display
The OnePlus 6T has a 6.4 inch screen with a 2340 x 1080 px resolution. This is comparatively larger than the 6.28 inch 2280 x 1080 px display on the OnePlus 6. It has an aspect ratio of 19:5:9 and an 86% screen-to-body ratio. Additionally, the display has Corning Gorilla Glass 6 for protection.
Processor
There are no shockers or surprise elements in this segment. The OnePlus 6T runs on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 SoC and has 6 GB / 8 GB RAM variants. It has the Adreno 630 GPU and 128 GB and 512 GB storage variants. While some of the earlier reports said that the device will have a microSD card slot, the alleged specifications sheet does not mention anything of this sort. This is not surprising as OnePlus never offered expandable storage and 128 GB on the base model is plenty of storage for a smartphone. The device is running on Android 9 Pie and as mentioned by the company, the ‘best version of Oxygen OS’. This includes advanced navigational and gesture controls, along with a UI which is extremely intuitive and easy to use.
Additionally, the device has a single-core score of 2387 and a multi-core score of 8925 on Geekbench. While this is pretty close to the scores of the OnePlus 6, these might see an increase as the devices that are being tested are pre-production units. However, there won’t be much of a difference as the internals are the same as that of the OnePlus 6.
Camera & Battery
OnePlus 6T Camera Sample
The OnePlus 6T has a 16 MP+ 20 MP dual camera setup with an f/1.7 aperture, exactly the same as the OnePlus 6. While the sensors are the same, the company has made some software changes for improved performance on the upcoming device. The device has an improved Night Mode for better low-light performance and features such as Quick Capture, Super Slo-Mo recording and Portrait Mode. The front camera has a 20 MP sensor equipped with f/1.7 aperture.
The OnePlus 6T will have a 3,700 mAh battery supported by OnePlus’s propriety Dash Charging. The device is also rumoured to support wireless charging this time around.
In-Display Fingerprint
One of the biggest changes on the OnePlus 6T is the in-display fingerprint scanner. According to OnePlus, this is the most secure version and offers a higher unlock speed. The company claims to have put in a lot of hard work to ensure that it reaches the standard of a OnePlus device.
Additionally, the device lacks a 3.5 mm headphone jack. While this has caused some unrest amongst OnePlus fans, the company has ensured of alternatives which will be easily available. The company had announced a pair of Type-C Bullets a few months back, which will be compatible with the device. They also mentioned that these will be easily available unlike the Wireless Bullets which were pretty short in supply.
Price
The device is said to cost Rs 37,999 for the 6 GB + 128 GB variant, Rs 40,999 for its 8 GB + 128 GB variant and Rs 44,999 for its 8 GB + 256 GB variant.
The above-mentioned features, mostly cover everything there is to know about the device. However, it is to be noted that these are based on various leaks and rumours and might not exactly reflect the device that is about to be launched.
The OnePlus 6T will launch at an event in New York on the 29th of October, and will have an India launch the next day, in New Delhi. We will continuously keep you updated on any news about the device and make sure that you receive all the details about it the minute it launches. So stay tuned to iGyaan for everything OnePlus.
The OnePlus 6T is set to launch next week and has fallen prey to another leak, yet again. It seems like the closer we are getting to the launch of a smartphone, the more we get to know about it. Unlike other leaks, this source claims to have the original specifications sheet along with official pictures from OnePlus. This is probably the most extensive leak of the OnePlus 6T until now and if it is true, gives us a very close look at the device.
Specifications Sheet
According to the alleged specifications sheet, the OnePlus 6T has the following features. It has a 6.4 inch Optic AMOLED display with a 2340 x 1080 px FHD+ resolution. The display sports a water drop notch and has an aspect ratio of 19:5:9. It has a screen-to-body ratio of 86%. The size of the display is not all that has improved and the device has Corning Gorilla Glass 6 for protection. The device measures 157.5 x 74.9 x 8.2mm and weighs 180 grams. It lacks a 3.5 mm headphone jack.
The device also has an in-display fingerprint scanner to unlock it securely. The device runs on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 SoC and is available in 6 GB and 8 GB RAM variants. In terms of storage, the device has 128 GB and 256 GB options. Contrary to some earlier reports, the OnePlus 6T does not have microSD card support. Under the hood, it packs a 3,700 mAh battery and has a USB Type-C port for charging and data transfer.
The device is running on Android 9 Pie, which was expected as the OnePlus 6 is already on the latest version of Android. The device has a dual 16 MP + 20 MP rear camera setup, and both the sensors are equipped with an f/1.7 aperture. It has features such as Quick Capture, Portrait Mode, and super Slo-mo recording. The front facing camera is a 20 MP sensor with an f/1.7 aperture.
If the leak is valid, this is all there is to know about the OnePlus 6T! However, we will wait till the official launch of the device on the 29 of October to know what OnePlus has in store for us.
The upcoming flagship from OnePlus, has crossed another milestone. The OnePlus 6T has passed Verizon’s certification labs, according to reports. This means that the smartphone will be the first OnePlus device to be compatible with the US based carrier. If the reports are true, it will boost the expansion of OnePlus in the US market. Other reports also show the Geekbench listing of the device.
OnePlus & Verizon
Along with the deal with Verizon, the company is also working on a partnership with T-Mobile in the US. The partnership with various mobile carriers will make sure that the device is known to more Americans, most of whom are not familiar with the company. The deal with these major mobile carriers will pave the way for OnePlus’s entry into the US market as well. Reports also suggest that the deal with Verizon can also carry on for future devices. This future device might be the 5G enabled phone that OnePlus is planning to release next year, most probably the OnePlus 7.
Geekbench Scores
The Geekbench listing of the device shows that it runs on Android 9 Pie and the Snapdragon 845 SoC. The device has 8 GB of RAM. The listing shows a single core score of 2,387 and a multi core score of 8,925. This is pretty similar to the performance of the OnePlus 6 and the scores on the retail device might be even higher considering that this is a pre-production unit.
The most exciting feature on the OnePlus 6T is its in-display fingerprint scanner. According to reports, the OnePlus 6T has a water-drop notch on its 6.41 inch Super AMOLED display. The device is running on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 SoC with 6 GB and 8 GB RAM variants. It packs a 3,700 mAh battery and runs on a brand new version of the Oxygen OS. The device does however, lack a headphone jack. The OnePlus 6T is also rumoured to have microSD card support, which will be a first for OnePlus devices. The device also has a new and improved night mode to enhance its low-light performance.
The upcoming OnePlus 6T is one of the most awaited smartphones set to launch this month. The device has a lot of improvements over its predecessor, and some brand new features such as the in-display fingerprint sensor and water drop notch. Leaks had told us all about these features and even the alleged pricing of the device. Just when we thought there was nothing more to know, a German retailer listed the OnePlus 6T on their website with its details and price. But the surprising detail in the listing is the microSD card support.
More Storage?
While you may think that this is not such a big deal, keep in mind that OnePlus has not provided SD card support prior to this. If this listing is true, it means that OnePlus users will finally be able to utilise their devices further by storing more data on them. Expandable storage is a boon for devices with limited storage. The base model on the OnePlus 6 has 64 GB of inbuilt storage which is quite restrictive for users. However, the OnePlus 6T might have a base model with 128 GB of internal storage which should be more than enough for average users. The addition of microSD card support to the device will take this a step further and users will now be able to carry all their data and apps with them without the fear of running out of space.
The OnePlus 6T has a 6.41 inch Super AMOLED display with a water drop notch. The device will run on the Snapdragon 845 SoC and has 6 GB and 8 GB RAM variants, according to reports. It packs a bigger 3,700 mAh battery, compared to its predecessor. The device will run Android 9 Pie and the ‘best version of Oxygen OS’, according to the company. The OnePlus 6T will launch on 29 October.
With it’s great value for money smartphones with flagship features, OnePlus has quickly become a brand that needs no introduction. One example of such a smartphone will be theupcoming OnePlus 6T that will launch on 29th October. OnePlus has been constantly teasing the OnePlus 6T’s features, ranging from an in-display fingerprint sensor to an all new Oxygen OS. And recently, the CEO of OnePlus, Pete Lau has shared a camera sample from the OnePlus 6T boasting its the low-light photography capabilities.
The camera sample simply looks fantastic and if this is a true shot taken from the OnePlus 6T, then it will definitely give flagships from Apple & Google a run for their money. Although, it is not clear whether the photo was taken on a tripod or is a handheld shot. The buildings look blur free and the clouds look colour accurate & defined.
On inspecting the camera sample, it reveals the photo has a 13 MP resolution but it lacks any EXIF information.

As Apple has announced their launch event for 30th October. The conflicting dates would steal OnePlus’s thunder and in order to minimise the damage, the company took this drastic step.
Recently a limited edition variant of the smartphone has been listed online on a Swedish retailer, Webhallen.
