New renders of the OnePlus 6T show 'waterdrop' notch and in-screen fingerprint reader



Flagships just can't seem to stay secret anymore. In addition to their previous dump of Pixel 3 renders, MySmartPrice was able to get ahold of a series of renders for the upcoming OnePlus 6T from well-known leaker @OnLeaks. The renders show off everything from the phone's measurements to its tear/waterdrop notch, and a conspicuous lack of a fingerprint sensor, and there's even a 360-degree video to go with it.
Nothing substantially new has been revealed, short of a final set of measurements for the new phone: 157.5 x 75.7 x 8.2mm (8.6mm at the camera bulge). These dimensions line up with the OPPO R17 Pro, which was to be expected, given it was presumed to be the base for the new flagship. Based on that commonality, MySmartPrice also believes that confirms a 6.4" diagonal screen measurement —presumably that's something that can't be checked via the dimensions included to create the renders.
This 8.2mm thickness is a bit chunkier than the existing OnePlus 6, which is a comparatively svelte 7.8mm. While part of that added girth is likely due to the additional hardware required under the display for the fingerprint sensor, it's also possible that a bigger battery could take advantage of the bump in interior volume.
Two notable omissions on the 6T are immediately visible from this angle of the back: there's no fingerprint sensor or headphone jack, meshing with both previous leaks and statements by OnePlus. If you happened to prefer either of those things, it looks like you'll be out of luck.
 
Other apparent continuities between the 6T and the OnePlus 6 are also present in the renders. The alert slider continues to live above the power button on the right side, the rear features a similar-looking dual camera configuration in a vertical arrangement, and the glossy appearance of the back implies OnePlus is likely sticking with the large rear glass panel started with the OnePlus 6. It's something I like — especially in the acid-etched, fingerprint-resistant matte previously provided — but not everyone else agrees.
These are renders, so take them with a grain of salt. Often renders like these arise as leaks from accessory manufacturers, who are frequently sent precise digital dimensions of devices to prepare for things like cases. While these renders agree with everything we know and expect, it's technically possible that precise details could change — though something as major as a removed headphone jack probably wouldn't slip through.

EVERYTHING WE KNOW ABOUT THE PIXEL 4, THE MOST-LEAKED PHONE EVER

Image
Google’s  Pixel 3 might have been the  most-leaked phone in history . Long before its unveiling, we knew practically everything about it from unboxing videos, photo comparisons, even a full review of the device. Surely, for the Pixel 4, Google would clamp down on leaks to leave some surprises for its debut on  October 15th , right? Let’s just say, if that was the plan, it didn’t exactly work out. We’ve now seen the Pixel 4 XL from every angle and in three different colors. At least seven different sources have touched this phone, many of them confirming the same specs. We not only know which cameras it’ll have, but also what they may be capable of, including air gestures (go figure). That doesn’t even count information Google has already shared  on purpose. So if you want to know almost everything about the Pixel 4 nearly a month before it’s announced, buckle up. We’ve sifted through all of the rumors and information we can find to compile everything we know —...

UPDATE  1 : 2019/12/16 4:35AM PST Previous rollouts UPDATE  2 : 2020/01/06 2:15AM PST Canada Two weeks after the  Galaxy S10 line received its stable One UI 2.0 build , it’s time for the Galaxy Note10 and Note10+ to get the latest Android flavor. According to a report by  SamMobile , the two late-2019 Samsung flagships are receiving the Android 10 update in Germany, although the rollout is limited to a small group of beta testers. This stable release follows a  five-round beta testing  that concluded just a couple of days ago. Samsung is rolling out the stable build only to its beta testers in Germany to possibly look out for any major bug. Besides SamMobile, the confirmation also comes from  some Redditors  who got the update in Germany just a few hours back. The same Reddit users also mention that Google Pay remains broken even after installing this final Android 10 firmware, although it wasn’t immediately clear how widespread t...
