OnePlus 6T price and specifications leaked ahead of launch
There are still a few days remaining for the launch of OnePlus 6T. But according to a report in Caschy’s Blog, the smartphone got listed on online retailer Otto’s website, along with all the specifications and starting price.
In Germany, OnePlus 6T’s price will start at 579 Euros. On converting it, it becomes Rs 48,871.94, which greatly exceeds the pricing OnePlus has stuck to till now. The base variants of OnePlus smartphones in India are usually priced around Rs 35,000.
Coming to the specifications of the device that got listed, OnePlus 6T sports a 6.4-inch (2340x1080p) AMOLED display that has a pixel density of 402ppi and is protected by Corning’s Gorilla Glass 5. As confirmed by the company, OnePlus 6T has an in-display fingerprint sensor which will be optical rather than an ultrasonic one. On the top of the display is a waterdrop notch that houses the selfie camera of the device, and above it the ear piece is placed in a narrow slot.
OnePlus 6T will be powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor clubbed with 8GB RAM and will come with an internal storage of 128GB. Let us remind you that these values will reportedly be present in the base variant of OnePlus 6T, and this may be the reason why OnePlus plans to keep the starting price of its upcoming flagship higher than previous models. In OnePlus 6, the base variant had 6GB of RAM and 64GB of onboard storage.
For more storage, OnePlus 6T users will be able to install microSD cards.
The back panel of OnePlus 6T houses a dual rear camera setup and according to the report, one sensor is 16MP and the other is 20MP. However, it is still not known which kind of optics of the sensor are. The selfie camera of the smartphone has a 16MP sensor.
The report further states that OnePlus 6T comes with a 3,700mAh battery and will run on Android 8.1 Oreo. This is something we found to be strange, as OnePlus 6 recently got an upgrade to Android 9.0 Pie and also because OnePlus has always launched its devices with the latest Android version available. Most reports that have surfaced online also claim that OnePlus 6T will come with Android 9.0 Pie, so the presence of Android 8.1 Oreo seems highly unlikely.
The smartphone will be available in Midnight Black and Mirror Black colour options and will support Bluetooth 5.0 and NFC on the connectivity front.

OnePlus to launch a 5G smartphone in 2019: Co-founder Carl Pei
Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 that is set to launch on October 29, will be the first smartphone to come with support for 5G. Once the Chinese smartphone maker announced this last week, Huawei promptly announced that it too has been working on a foldable 5G smartphone. And today, OnePlus followed the suit at Qualcomm’s 4G/5G Summit 2018 that is being held in Hong Kong.
The smartphone manufacturer has confirmed that it is working on a 5G smartphone and plans to launch it in 2019.
With major technology giants working on smartphones that support 5G, it seems like in 2019, 5G connectivity would become mainstream. And considering how popular OnePlus already is, it would definitely want to be one among the first smartphone makers to unveil a 5G smartphone next year.
Although OnePlus is all set to launch its next flagship mobile phone, OnePlus 6T, on October 29 in New York City, the company’s co-founder Carl Pei has already teased the OnePlus 7 and OnePlus 7T smartphones that will be launched next year.
Pei also revealed that OnePlus team in August this year conducted a 5G test at Qualcomm’s headquarters in San Diego. As we mentioned earlier, the upcoming Mi Mix 3 is the first handset to have 5G support, which obviously makes Xiaomi the first company to adapt to this technology.
But even if OnePlus wants to secure the second spot, there will be companies like Samsung and Huawei it will have to compete with. Also, we will have to wait to see whether it gets 5G connectivity to its smartphones with OnePlus 7 or OnePlus 7T. From what we know, the company plans to hold a launch event in January 2019, so there is a possibility of seeing a device by the company with 5G connectivity then.
At the event, Qualcomm’s Cristiano Amon said that the chipmaker expects to see the launch of at least two flagship smartphones with 5G connectivity in 2019. He further went on to say that while the one flagship will arrive in the first half of the year, the other one will be launched in the second half of 2019.
It has also been announced at the same event that a number of technology companies including HMD Global, Asus, LG, Motorola, OnePlus, Oppo, Sharp, Sony Mobile, Vivo, HTC, Xiaomi, Motorola among others will be using the Snapdragon X50 5G NR modem in their devices and are “committed to 5G in 2019”. The American chipmaker also added that around 18-19 smartphones will be 5G ready in 2019.

The official images of Honor Magic 2 are out and we love the phone’s design already
The Honor Magic 2 smartphone is all set to be announced on October 31. The upcoming offering by Honor will be an all-screen smartphone which will come with a slider camera, similar to Xiaomi Mi Mix 3’s and Oppo Find X‘s.
Honor Magic 2 mobile has been in a news a lot for the last few weeks and the company itself has been posting about the smartphone that it will be launching in a few days’ time. And now, Honor has new official images of the smartphone on its Weibo account.
These images are not renders of Honor Magic 2, but instead show the smartphone inside the box, its slider selfie cameras, its triple rear camera setup, and the colour variants.
As seen in the pictures, the smartphone comes in Blue and Pink/Purple gradient colour variants. In the photos, both the colour variants look rather pleasing. The smartphones’ back panels have two colours. Towards the top, one is Blue while the other is Pink. The colour slowly change towards the bottom of the back panel — so Blue makes a few shades darker and Pink becomes Purple. Speaking of the box, it is dressed in Black and has text written on it in either Gold or Rose Gold.
The back panel looks minimalistic in the photos and like Huawei P20 Pro, houses three cameras that come with an LED flash and have AI Camera written below them. It has been reported that among the three cameras, one is a 16MP regular sensor, one is a 24MP monochrome sensor and the last one is a 16MP telephoto lens.
The smartphone’s back panel also has the Honor branding which can be read properly only on holding the Honor Magic 2 mobile in landscape mode.
While the back panel did remind us of Huawei P20 Pro, the front does not. The images of the front panel of Honor Magic 2 show an all-screen display. We were so glad to see that the upcoming smartphone defies the current trend in the smartphone industry and comes without a notch — much like the front panels of Oppo Find X and Vivo Nex (review). With so many smartphones sporting a notch on their displays, it is really refreshing to see one that doesn’t.
The 16MP selfie camera of the smartphone is housed in a slider that also comes with two lenses for 3D facial recognition.
We did not spot a fingerprint sensor anywhere, so even if the phone will have one, it will be an in-display fingerprint scanner. Or maybe the company decided to completely rule it out and only wants to offer users 3D facial unlock. We are hoping for the second possibility as most in-display fingerprint scanners cannot match up to the ones that are physically present on the smartphones. On the other hand, a 3D facial unlock does makes thing easier.
From other reports that have surfaced online earlier, the Honor Magic 2 will feature a 6.4-inch Full HD+ touchscreen display and is powered by Kirin 980 chipset paired with 8GB RAM and 128GB of onboard storage. The smartphone will reportedly house a 3,400mAh battery and will come with support for Huawei’s 40W fast charging. Honor Magic 2 is said to run Android 9.0 Pie skinned with EMUI 9.

[td_smart_list_end] Nokia 8 Sirocco may have been discontinued: Report
HMD Global’s flagship device of the year, Nokia 8 Sirocco was priced at €750 at the time of its launch. But it has been months since the smartphone has been launched and it has also received a price cut. But that is hardly anything unusual.
And now, according to a report in GSMArena, the company may have plans of discontinuing the smartphone. The report says that if you hit the ‘Buy Now’ button next to Nokia 8 Sirocco on Nokia’s website, it just redirects you to the Homepage. And since the company is set to launch the Nokia 9 smartphone, it can be a possibility that it is considering to discontinue the previous flagship.
However, the case is not the same in India. Nokia 8 Sirocco just received a price cut of Rs 13,000 and is now available at Rs 36,990. It was launched in India in April this year and was initially priced at Rs 49,990. If you go to Nokia’s India website and hit the ‘Buy Now’ button, it wouldn’t redirect you to the homepage, but it will tell you that the smartphone is “currently not available”.
So everything does point towards the possibility of Nokia 8 Sirocco being discontinued. But then, it’s hardly anything to be disappointed about, as we already have the company’s next flagship, Nokia 9 to look forward to.
To recall, Nokia 8 Sirocco sports a 5.5-inch QHD pOLED display that comes with the protection of Corning Gorilla Glass 5. The smartphone has 6GB RAM and is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor.
Nokia 8 Sirocco mobile is scheduled to receive the Android 9.0 Pie update next month. Currently, the Nokia device runs on Android 8.1 Oreo. In fact, if you own the smartphone, you would be happy to know that even if it is being discontinued, it will continue to receive Android updates and security patches for two and three years from the date of its launch respectively. The reason behind timely and prompt updates on Nokia 8 Sirocco is the fact that it comes under Google’s Android One program – much like all other Nokia smartphones by HMD Global we have seen recently.

The most expensive Oppo smartphone gets caught in benchmark cheating, gets delisted
Oppo is back in news, but this time, it’s not for a very good reason. The Chinese smartphone maker has been caught in “artificially” producing benchmark scores that are “high and misleading.” UL Benchmarks, the company behind benchmark app 3DMark has delisted Oppo Find X and Oppo F7 saying that the company has unfairly boosted benchmark results.
According to UL Benchmarks, both the handsets tweak the results on the public 3DMark app by up to 41%. Their scores were lower in the private 3DMark app, which is not available to customers and manufacturers.
An image shared by UL Benchmarks shows that while Oppo Find X‘s score on 3DMark’s public app is 4576, it comes down to 3344 on the private app. Similarly, Oppo F7’s score is 1079 on the public 3DMark app, the private app shows its score as 767.
Oppo has also admitted in a statement that its smartphones have the ability to adjust their performance when a benchmark app is running on them. The company was quoted saying, “When we detect that the user is running applications like games or 3D Benchmarks that require high performance, we allow the SoC to run at full speed for the smoothest experience.”
However, UL Benchmarks had another opinion on it. The company, which analysed the performance of Oppo Find X mobile and F7 on request of Tech2, said, “”The difference in scores tells us that the devices are simply recognizing the 3DMark app by name rather than adapting to the type of work in the test. This kind of detection and optimization is forbidden by our rules for manufacturers.”
After finding out that the smartphones’ scores are unfairly boosted, UL Benchmarks delisted Oppo Find X and F7 from its platform. It is worth noticing that prior to being delisted, Oppo Find X ranked on No. 4 in the list of Best Smartphones for 3DMark Sling Shot Extreme performance test.
Last month, Huawei’s devices including Nova 3 Honor Play and its flagships P20, P20 Pro were also delisted after the smartphone maker was caught in a similar scandal and was found boosting benchmark results.

OnePlus’s CEO Pete Lau releases OnePlus 6T’s camera sample
The launch of OnePlus 6T is right around the corner. The world seems to be super excited as to what the Chinese major will bring to the table, next. We already know couple of things that are in the new smartphone by OnePlus, which have been doing the rounds. These include a water drop design, Qualcomm 845 chipset, 8 GB RAM and 256 GB storage. Twin rear cameras will also be part of the package. To which Pete Lau, the CEO of OnePlus, has teased a photo shot using OnePlus 6T during the night.
If this is the real deal, then consumers who want to purchase the new smartphone are in for a treat. The photograph seems to be a shot during the evening and one can clearly see the moon in the background. Not bad for a night shot. Our money is on the use of Tripod with the shot. The detailing of the buildings in low light conditions is excellent. The watermark on the photo does suggest that there are indeed two cameras on the OnePlus 6T. One should have the normal lens and the secondary one will be a wide angle camera. Hopefully, we would get to see the same nice Bokeh effect from the two lenses on this mobile.
The launch event is slated to be held on 29th of October. Before, it was going to be held on 30th October, but since Apple also announced its event on the same day, OnePlus preponed the launch of OnePlus 6T. The event will be held simultaneously in New York and New Delhi, where Carl Pei (Co-founder of OnePlus) will be present (as told by sources close to Gadget Bridge). Stay tuned as we will be bringing you more updates before and from the event in a week’s time.
