The OnePlus 6T has sold 249% more units than the OnePlus 6

In a recent interview with PCMag, OnePlus CEO Pete Lau announced that US sales of the OnePlus 6T were up a whopping 249% during the first 30 days when compared to the OnePlus 6. This is primarily due to the smartphone being available to purchase on T-Mobile, something that has helped to expand OnePlus’ brand recognition. Another factor that is likely to have helped is T-Mobile’s initial trade-in promotion. This allowed consumers to purchase the OnePlus 6T for just $279 during its first week of sales whenever one of over 30 eligible devices was replaced.

For those unaware, the OnePlus 6T boasts a large 6.4-inch display complete with a waterdrop notch towards the top. This is accompanied by a glass and aluminum construction and a dual-camera setup on the rear. The smartphone also includes Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 845, an in-display fingerprint scanner, and a large 3,700mAh battery.

Currently, there are three models on sale. These are the 6/128GB, 6/256GB, and 8/256GB versions. However, earlier today the company announced a special McLaren Edition model that includes a whopping 10GB of RAM and goes on sale December 13.
