To celebrate the launch of the flagship, T-Mobile is working with OnePlus on a trade-in offer of several eligible smartphone devices for a $300 discount when purchasing the OnePlus 6T. Among the eligible devices, the historical OnePlus smartphones were all included, along with many other handsets by Apple, Google, Motorola, LG, and Samsung.

OnePlus CEO Pete Lau opened the event with a speech in full English for the first time. The massive turnout was also accompanied by the appearance of Qualcomm’s president Cristiano Amon and the renowned Irish conceptual photographer, Kevin Abosch.
The product launch event was held at Pier 36, located near the south of Manhattan. Two subsequent product launch events for the OnePlus 6T will be held in New Delhi, India, on Oct. 30, and in Shenzhen, China, on Nov. 5.

Much to the dismay of many, the 6T is the first OnePlus handset to ditch the 3.5mm headphone jack in favour of audio over USB-Type C. The decision was made to squeeze out extra space within the device to accommodate for the FOD module beneath the display.

Other software upgrades coming along with the 6T include performance-boosting functions such as Smart Boost and a new gesture navigation system termed “Full Screen Gesture 2.0.” According to OnePlus, a designated team called “Team FSE” (Fast, Smooth, Efficient) has been established for the single purpose of improving Android performance and the overall user experience.

The flagship also comes with cute software Easter eggs, such as when people are dialing over a prolonged period, a yoga coach animation pops up and urges users to perform stretches in order to ease their perhaps elevated tempers.

Although the 6T shares the same camera specs as the OnePlus 6, it features a brand new function for night photography called Nightscape. OnePlus claims that the 6T is unparalleled across other smartphones within the same price range when it comes to cityscape photography. The feature will also be brought to the OnePlus 6 as well via a software upgrade.
