The OnePlus 10T is here and could represent a change over the course of the company. Previous T models were mid-season updates to existing models, but there’s no vanilla OnePlus 10 to upgrade. Instead the 10T fits into the premium OnePlus range of offerings.

With a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 this is definitely a flagship, in fact it is the fastest OnePlus on the market right now. But the phone has more in common with the OnePlus 10R than the 10 Pro.
