Looks like OnePlus 6T is going to be a big upgrade over OnePlus 6 after all. OnePlus' next flagship phone, expected to launch in October, is expected to come with a tinier notch (dubbed as waterdrop notch). A new leak now hints at big changes in design and camera as well. Leaked render of OnePlus 6T reveals three cameras on the back and no fingerprint sensor module, which may be embedded within the screen.

This render of OnePlus 6T was posted (via SlashLeaks) on Chinese social website, Weibo. OnePlus 6T has a tiny notch cutout on top giving maximum room for display. At the rear, there's a triple-camera setup aligned vertically. Something missing on the OnePlus 6T is a fingerprint sensor. A previous leak did suggest the presence of an in-display fingerprint sensor.

Overall, OnePlus 6T would be borrowing a lot from Oppo R17 Pro with the waterdrop notch, three cameras and the in-display fingerprint sensor. Oppo R17 Pro features a 12-megapixel, 20-megapixel and a TOF 3D stereo camera setup. The similarities in design come from OnePlus' history of following the design language of Oppo's R-series phones. Also, both Oppo and OnePlus are under the same parent company, BBK Electronics in China.
