Apart from getting a look and feel of the device, there’s some more incentive for those walking into the OnePlus 6T pop-up shops in the form of exclusive OnePlus merchandise like phone covers, bumpers, OnePlus Sketchbook, OnePlus ‘Never Settle’ T-shirts and OnePlus tote bags for early-bird attendees.

Other exclusive offers for online buyers include - cashbacks on credit and debit card transactions, no-cost EMIs for 3 months, and free damage protection for 12 months from Kotak Servify.

As far as the specs of the OnePlus 6T are concerned, its USP will be the in-display fingerprint sensor that the company has been heavily teasing on social media. The smartphone will feature a Snapdragon 845 chipset and a Waterdrop Notch on the display. Apart from screen size and storage, the rest of the hardware of the OnePlus 6T is expected to be the same as the OnePlus 6, but it remains to be seen what OnePlus does with software optimisation and if it finally jumps on the AI bandwagon like all other smartphone-makers.
