OnePlus recently confirmed that the phone will feature a 50-megapixel triple rear camera setup.

According to a report by The Verge, citing an interview with Hope Liu, Chief Designer at OnePlus, the OnePlus 10T is going to skip the alert the alert slider this time to make internal space for other components that are needed for “high wattage charging, a large battery, and better antenna signal.” Liu reportedly said that the alert slider might seem like a very small component but it has a larger impact on the motherboard. An earlier report suggested that the handset will likely skip the iconic alert slider.

The camera module of the OnePlus 10T was previously rumoured to forgoe Hasselblad branding, something that has been confirmed now by Liu, who said that the company wanted to launch the smartphone with flagship performance at the chosen price point. It is to be noted that the company is yet to announce the price tag. Liu also confirmed a 6.7-inch display, as well as colours – Glossy Green and Matte Black.

Recently, the Amazon landing page of the OnePlus 10T went live, which revealed that the smartphone will be available for pre-order via the e-commerce website starting August 3. The handset has also been confirmed to be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC.
