If you've been waiting for all new OnePlus 6T, you can have an idea of what the smartphone will look like. According to reports and leaks, the design changes on OnePlus 6T are very similar or almost the same as Oppo's R17 Pro smartphone.

Oppo R17 Pro comes with a waterdrop notch, a design first seen on the Essential Phone but which failed to take off as expected. The possibility seems very likely considering the trend of OnePlus following the design language of Oppo's R-series smartphones. Also, both Oppo and OnePlus are under the same parent company, BBK Electronics in China.

OnePlus 6 already has a notch which houses the selfie camera and a noise-cancelling microphone. The tiny notch on OnePlus 6T will be curvier and tinier in the shape of a waterdrop. With a smaller notch, the smartphone's bottom bezel will possibly be thinner too.

Overall, OnePlus 6T looks a lot like its predecessor. Under the hood, the specifications will more or less remain the same. OnePlus, however, could make some improvements in the battery department.
