So, you have the OnePlus 8 that launched around 6 months ago and you've just seen its successor announced during the online-only event. While in Europe and the UK we are getting both an 8GB/128GB and 12/256GB variants, the US is restricted to buying the top-of-the-range 12/256GB model for $749.
Both the OP8 and the OP8T share a lot of hardware and while the newer phone does improve over its predecessor with a 120Hz display and faster 65W Warp Charging, is it worth upgrading to? Join us after the break where you can compare the specifications of the two smartphones, side-by-side.
