OnePlus 6T launch to happen on Oct. 30

While we’re speculating whether the OnePlus 6T is dropping on October 30, what we do know is the company will launch the phone then. OnePlus just confirmed the launch date on Twitter and on its website, claiming it will be its biggest event ever. Happening at Pier 36 in New York, the livestream will start at 11 a.m. ET (8 a.m. PT) on the company’s site and YouTube channel, so better mark that date and time if you want to check out OnePlus’s newest innovation.

Expect OnePlus 6T to go on sale by October 30

OnePlus hasn’t really been keeping much about the OnePlus 6T under wraps. We already know things like it’ll have an in-display fingerprint scanner, no audio jack, and a 10 percent bigger battery than its predecessor. This time, an Amazon India listing shows the phone will ship before the end of the month—on October 30^th. It’s the day when a pre-order offer ends and the phone is expected to ship and start appearing on retailer’s shelves. Whether this extends globally is something we don’t know just yet.

The OnePlus 6T is expected to have a 6.41-inch AMOLED screen with a waterdrop notch. There will be a dual camera setup I the back and the phone is expected to run on Snapdragon 845 with either 6GB or 8GB RAM options. Color options are said to give the phone either a metal or glass panel at the back.

OnePlus CEO confirms the OnePlus 6T won’t support wireless charging

While we’ve seen what the OnePlus 6T could look like and what we can expect, we don’t know all there is about it just yet. But the company’s CEO Pete Lau is willing to talk about what we won’t be seeing this time around: wireless charging. In an interview with CNET, Lau said the limits of wireless technology and its impact on charging times is the reason why we won’t be seeing it in the company’s newest flagship. Lau boasts of the company’s proprietary fast-charge technology we know as Dash Charge and how wireless charging won’t be able to offer the same experience. That and it would generate a lot of heat and require a thicker device. Lau says they are working to address this limitation but it won’t be coming to this device for now.
