OnePlus 6T launch: Here's how to watch the event live

Is the OnePlus 6T turning out to be the Chinese tech giant's most interesting smartphone yet?

In a few hours from now, OnePlus will launch their flagship OnePlus 6T. The smartphone will be launched at an event in New York.

The event will start at 11am ET time, which means if you are following the OnePlus 6T launch event from India, you will have to be in front of your computer or on phone at 8.30PM tonight.

Thanks to numerous leaks, the flagship device will be the company's first to feature an in-display fingerprint scanner.

However, what is not finding favour amidst OnePlus fans is that 6T will be the first OnePlus handset to ditch the 3.5mm headphone jack in favour of audio over USB-C.

OnePlus started with the 'T' model of smartphones from the OnePlus 3T back in 2016 and since has produced two phones per year. The OnePlus 6T is the successor to the OnePlus 6 launched in May of this year.
