Following in the footsteps of the OnePlus 8 which was the best value-for-money phone with Snapdragon 865 when released, the OnePlus 8T will add ultrafast 65W charging, and the 120Hz adaptive refresh rate display from the OnePlus 8 Pro.

The feisty phone maker just sent us an invitation for the official OnePlus 8T unveiling event, emphasizing precisely the abovementioned two new features - the high charging speed and display refresh. Here's the scoop
