Gizchina News of the week
Similar to the OnePlus 5T launched about a year ago, OnePlus may live stream the New York launch event at the Delhi launch event center, so we are entirely not expecting a dedicated event in India where it will be exclusive to Amazon.
The device will come with an in-display fingerprint scanner while dropping the 3.5-mm audio jack. The device is also likely to come with a water-droplet notch on the front. Expected to join the list of devices with the on-screen fingerprint technology, the upcoming device is tipped to come with an OLED display featuring a waterdrop notch while retaining the 3.5mm headphone jack.
We are presently not sure what price tag the Chinse firm would b be slamming on the OnePlus 6T, however, there are murmurs that the base model could sell for as much as $550.
After taunting competitors year after year because of the missing audio jack, now OnePlus are following suit because, drum-roll, in-display fingerprint scanner.
OnePlus and credibility? Nope.
