OnePlus Launches The Premium OnePlus 8T Flagship Smartphone

Following the success of OnePlus’ 8 series released earlier this year, the global mobile technology company has launched its newest high-end flagship smartphone, the OnePlus 8T. The new device introduces a host of next-generation technologies which includes a newly calibrated 120Hz Fluid AMOLED display and the brand’s upgraded fast-charging solution — Warp Charge 65.

AESTHETICALLY PLEASING DESIGN

The OnePlus 8T is available in two new colours — the Aquamarine Green and Lunar Silver. The Aquamarine Green uses diffuse reflection, a form of light refraction to scatter light in an expansive array of angles and directions while providing a clean surface that leaves fewer fingerprints on the glossy glass back. 

If you’re looking for a more classic look for your phone, the new Lunar Silver variant combines the latest iteration of OnePlus’ premium matte-frosted glass with a calming grey tone to create the perfect balance between aesthetic elegance and unmatched comfort.
