Earlier this year OnePlus released the OnePlus 6 that offered a flagship experience for a price just over half the cost of the newest Google, Samsung, and Apple phones. OnePlus typically launches a T series device later in the year and today announced the OnePlus 6T.

OnePlus again pushes the limits of specifications with the base model starting with 8GB of RAM while also moving the ball forward with an in-screen fingerprint scanner.
