Pete Lau is throwing a celebration. As he has simply announced in a community forum post, the OnePlus CEO says its upcoming 10T will launch on August third with an in-person occasion in New York City. The 10T continues OnePlus’ custom of performance-focused specs with a Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 chipset, which is, in concept, a reduce above the common ol’ Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 within the OnePlus 10 Pro. OnePlus may even take the chance to launch OxygenOS 13, which Lau says will come to the ten Pro first and the 10T later this yr.

Qualcomm says the “Plus” model of the 8 Gen 1 affords quicker efficiency and higher battery effectivity than the non-plus chipset. It’s a pull-out-all-the-stops form of processor, and it’s largely supposed for cellular gadgets geared towards gaming. It hints that the 10T will probably be extra performance-oriented than the mainstream 10 Pro, which is a likable cellphone that comes up just a little brief towards the likes of the Samsung Galaxy S22.

OnePlus is enjoying its standard lengthy sport and isn’t revealing a complete lot proper now. A bit of sleuthing — aka messing with sliders in Photoshop — doesn’t reveal a complete lot within the shadowy elements of the only picture of the gadget that OnePlus has launched, both. It seems to have a digicam array similar to the OnePlus 10 Pro’s, which affords normal huge, ultrawide, and telephoto rear lenses.

Both gadgets appear like they’ve a fourth rear digicam, however on the ten Pro, no less than, that’s only a flash. It appears unlikely that OnePlus would have overhauled the digicam system for this second-half-of-the-year launch, however that’s positively one class the place the ten Pro comes up brief and the 10T may enhance on.

While OnePlus is being tight-lipped, rumors have been a little more revealing of what the corporate may need up its sleeve, indicating that we’d see very quick 150W charging and — brace your self — the departure of the bodily alert slider. Say it ain’t so, Pete. In any case, all will probably be revealed quickly sufficient — the launch occasion begins at 10AM ET on the third of August.
