Outside of the Pixel 4a and Pixel 5 — which are slated for an unveil tomorrow — OnePlus is the first manufacturer to offer a phone with Android 11 out of the box.

OxygenOS 11 introduces a host of new features, including an Always-on Display, new visual layout designed for one-handed use, dynamic backgrounds, new font, and more. OnePlus has an OxygenOS 11 public beta for the OnePlus 8 series, and it is the only company to offer a public beta based on Android 11 right now.

The OnePlus 8T also has a 120Hz panel, 4800mAh battery with 65W fast charging, and a 48MP camera at the back. With no OnePlus 8T Pro on the cards for this year, the OnePlus 8T is the default option for those looking to make the switch to a new device.
