The OnePlus 6T stands out in the crowded smartphone market with its unique design and high-end specifications. Powered by the Snapdragon 845, Hydrogen OS based on Android 9.0, 8 GB of RAM, and 256 GB of storage, the OnePlus 6T promises a fast and smooth user experience. Its design, featuring the largest display ever and a resilient glass back, is crafted with an optic AMOLED display for true immersion through an 86% screen-to-body ratio. The phone comes in unique carbon fibre of mirror black, midnight black, and electro-optical violet, reflecting the brand's spirit of craftsmanship and attention to detail.
The OnePlus 6T is not just about aesthetics; it also incorporates cutting-edge technology. The phone features an in-display fingerprint sensor, a novel technology that allows users to authenticate prints with just one touch on the screen. This design decision not only enhances the user experience but also contributes to the phone's sleek and tidy appearance.
The OnePlus 6T is the result of an intensive and meticulous design process. The design team, consisting of Hope.Liu, Jade.Tang, Ryan.Ruan, May.Ye, Qing.Liu, Hanna.Pei, Bo.Wei, Mac.Ma, and Kwan.Guo, conducted extensive market research and multiple rounds of user testing to refine the phone's design. The team's commitment to maintaining visual consistency across sketches, 2D graphics, and 3D models ensured that the final product remained true to the original design concept.
The design process was not without its challenges. The team had to overcome numerous technical issues during the CMF (Color, Material, Finish) stage and the mass production stage. However, through the combined efforts of the front-end and back-end engineering teams, the OnePlus 6T was successfully brought to life.
The OnePlus 6T's design excellence has been recognized by the prestigious A' Design Award, where it was awarded Platinum in the Digital and Electronic Device Design category in 2019. This award is a testament to the OnePlus Industrial Design Lab's commitment to pushing the boundaries of art, science, design, and technology.
