- OnePlus 6T price in India starts Rs. 37,999
- The base variant comes with 6GB RAM/ 128GB storage
- The company ditched the 3.5mm headphone jack
On Tuesday, OnePlus launched OnePlus 6T at an event held in New Delhi, India. This India launch happened just after one day of New York’s Launch Event. The smartphone is just an upgrade of the company’s own Flagship OnePlus 6 which was launched 5 months ago.
The major upgrades on OnePlus 6T, when compared with OnePlus 6, are an in-display fingerprint sensor, a teardrop notch, a larger battery, a larger display, Android Pie 9.0 out-of-the-box, improved low-light photography, and smart-boost optimization. The base variant of 6T starts with 128GB onboard storage, so no 64GB variant this time.
We feel there is two downgrade on 6T over 6, first is the removal of headphone jack but they did include 3.5mm to Headphone Jack adapter in the box (some companies don’t even include that) and second is removal of Physical LED Notification Light but company did include ‘lift-up-display’ feature to read notification from lock screen.

Author’s Opinion
The OnePlus 6T, being a successor of the company’s OnePlus 6, is an amazing smartphone in almost every department. The configuration, amazing set of camera and the superfine display reveal its feature courage. The battery is increased and is decent enough to provide a backup though out the day.
As of now, there are only two cons — no headphone jack and no physical LED Notification light.
Overall, Considering the price and overall aspects of the smartphone, we will recommend this smartphone to users who are planning to buy a premium smartphone with a budget around 40K. If you own OnePlus 6 or OnePlus 5T or any other smartphone with high-end specs then skip 6T.
