OnePlus 10T will arrive on August 3 and we will also see OxygenOS 13 on stage. The phone is expected to have a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset but it might not be the only phone with this platform OnePlus has in the pipeline.
According to Digital Chat Station, a
device named OnePlus Ace Pro is also on its way with the latest and greatest
Snapdragon, and it will also have 16 GB RAM and 150W fast charging. Given the
brand’s history of giving one phone two different names for domestic and overseas
sales, it is fair to assume the OnePlus Ace Pro is actually the 10T.
If our assumptions are correct, this means
the OnePlus 10T might have 150W fast charging, a feat currently available only
on a handful of smartphones by another totally independent smartphone brand,
namely Realme. The 16 GB RAM option is good news for all OnePlus fans. So far
we are yet to see a device from the company with such a high memory option,
meaning the OnePlus 10T will be able to join an exclusive group of smartphones
that offers this feature.
There is also the possibility the Ace Pro
and the 10T are completely different. However, even if we ignore OnePlus’
politics of renaming, we doubt the company has the capacity to work on two
separate flagships at the same time given the constraints in supply chain and
manufacturing the whole industry is experiencing in these trying times.
