The OnePlus 8T is all set to make its debut next month, which will be coinciding with the iPhone 12 launch as well as Amazon Prime Day. The Pixel 5 and Pixel 4a 5G will also have released by then, with Google's event set for September 30, so it's going to be a battle to see which device hits the sweet spot between price and features this fall.
The alleged specs for the handset have already leaked, and now we have a first look at the smartphone in four fantastic colorways.

Waqar Khan has put together this concept video based on leaked renders from Pricebaba, giving us a thorough look at the upcoming smartphone. Based on current reports, the OnePlus 8T is releasing in Aquamarine Green and Lunar Silver, but Khan has added a couple more to the mix for some extra flavor, including a gradient option similar to what we saw with the OnePlus 7.
Of course, everything we've heard so far hasn't been officially confirmed – with the exception of the impressive 120Hz display – so we may see more colors on offer at launch.

The OnePlus 8T is powered by the Snapdragon 865+ which is going to give Apple's A14 SoC a run for its money. With a 4,500 mAh battery and support for 65W Warp Charge, you should never be caught short and left with a useless brick.
The camera setup doesn't compete with the OnePlus 8 Pro but goes a step above the OnePlus 8 with its quad camera array on the rear.
Fans may be in for a shock on the pricing front however, with a recent leak suggesting that prices will start from €799 (approx. $940, £730, AU$1,300) for the OnePlus 8T 8GB/128GB model, while the 12GB/256GB variant will begin at €899 (around $1,050, £830, AU$1,470).
