The GeekBench 5 scores of the alleged OnePlus 8T phone are pretty much in line with Snapdragon 865-powered phones.

It remains to be seen whether the new OnePlus 8T series will be a huge upgrade or offer slight improvements over previous.
Besides, there are reports claiming that the company will debut its 65W ultra-fast charging technology with OnePus 8T Pro. The upcoming OnePlus phones are expected to feature a 64-megapixel primary rear camera. In case you are unaware, the OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro come with a 48-megapixel camera. The code of the latest OnePlus Camera app suggested that the brand will finally be switching to the 64-megapixel sensor. While the source code does not specify which sensor is being implemented, we could see the new Sony IMX686 being put to use.
