New OnePlus 7T renders show off a circular rear camera bump

The OnePlus 7T rumors and leaks are coming thick and fast now, and the latest unofficial images to hit the web are some very nicely done renders that pull together everything we think we know so far about the phone.

Created by @OnLeaks and shared on Pricebaba, the images (and accompanying video) show a phone with a tiny teardrop notch on the front of the device and a circular, triple-lens camera on the back.

That rear camera setup matches a leaked sketch we saw just a couple of days ago from another reputable phone tipster, so it’s starting to look pretty likely that this is indeed what we can expect from the OnePlus 7T.

OnePlus usually reserves big design changes for its big flagship launches, rather than the T variation models, but this year it might buck the trend – and the design does match a leaked photo that appeared online in December.

Aside from the cameras, we’re expecting a 6.5-inch display from the OnePlus 7T, as well as the Snapdragon 855 Plus chipset, up to 8GB of RAM, and up to 256GB of internal storage (this is all unofficial for now though).

As for a launch date, we think the phone might launch in India as early as September, with a global launch to follow in October. OnePlus hasn’t put anything official on the calendar yet.

We were impressed with what the OnePlus 7 and the OnePlus 7 Pro had to offer when they were unveiled in May, and it looks as though OnePlus won’t be resting on its laurels when it comes to its mid-cycle refresh either.

As the days tick around to September it shouldn’t be too long before we hear something official from OnePlus – in the meantime, we’re got plenty of leaks and renders to pore over.

Future OnePlus device with round camera island gets pictured in leaked sketches

OnePlus is shaping up to be quite busy until the end of this year. There’s the launch of its first ever TV next month, already officially confirmed, as is the fact that it’s going to out another 5G device before 2020 comes around. And then we’ve also heard a lot of rumors lately about the company readying a OnePlus 7T Pro and/or OnePlus 7T.

One of these smartphones could be pictured in the leaked sketches below, that come courtesy of Evan Blass, aka @evleaks. Apparently they do depict a product that is in the works at OnePlus, and that device was first spotted all the way back in December of last year, when we showed you a leaked image from an internal presentation held by the Chinese company.

The round camera island on the back is hard to miss, in both cases. This would mark a pretty substantial design change for the company that has so far steered clear of such a camera arrangement. There are no details about which phone this is, unfortunately, so your guess is as good as ours. Would you like to see a OnePlus 7T Pro 5G with this design?

Bloomberg: iPhone 11 lineup will offer improved Face ID sensor, better low-light photography

Apple’s September 10 event is fast approaching and rumors surrounding the next-gen iPhones are finally gaining some consistency. A new report from Bloomberg confirms previous rumors that Apple will streamline its iPhone naming scheme by introducing the “Pro” moniker for the successors of the iPhone XS and XS Max. The main addition to the new Pro models will be their triple camera setup which will be able to combine shots from all three lenses to produce higher resolution images with better low-light performance.

In addition, users will have new post-processing options with frames, crop and video editing capabilities built right in the Photos app. Face ID will see a massive overhaul on the new iPhones with a multi-angle sensor which will enable unlock even when the phone is laying flat on a table. Under the hood, the A13 chipset will feature a new co-processor developed for AR applications. Apple will also offer new matte color options.

The report also details the expected new 10.2 iPad which will replace the entry-level 9.7-inch iPad. The iPad Pro line will receive a spec bump and will come with the same camera as the flagship iPhones. A cheaper HomePod is also said to be in the works but it’s going to be available in early 2020.

TikTok owner ByteDance confirms plans to produce a smartphone

TikTok owner ByteDance has confirmed previous reports that it plans to produce a smartphone after making a deal with Smartisan earlier this year in which it acquired a number of its patents and employees. In comments given to Reuters, a spokesperson from the company described the phone as “a continuation of earlier Smartisan plans, aiming to satisfy the needs of the old Smartisan user base.”

It’s not exactly surprising that ByteDance is considering entering another product category, especially since it has already expanded into messaging and is reportedly thinking about launching a music streaming service. Previous reports suggested that both of these apps would come preinstalled on ByteDance’s phone alongside TikTok, the app behind the company’s explosive growth.

Previous attempts by mainly service-based companies to move into hardware haven’t gone especially well. Facebook never made a follow-up to the phone it produced in collaboration with HTC, and the less that’s said about the Amazon Fire Phone, the better. There’s also the continued question about the role of Chinese companies in producing smartphones for a global audience, as well as the difficulties experienced by TikTok in its international expansion. Still, ByteDance’s seemingly overnight international success with TikTok means we wouldn’t put it past the company to find a way to make its phone work.
