News & Reviews:   OnePlus 6T pre-order

Have you ever wondered how strong is the Corning Gorilla Glass 6? It's the latest grade to be produced and not so mainstream yet. Moreover, it has appeared on the OnePlus 6T's 6.41-inch AMOLED display. Of course, someone would have the nerve to do some scratch test and YouTuber @JerryRigEverything has already done it.

So the OnePlus 6T is out, there were some rumours here and there but it didn't get enough steamrolling since it has only been around six months that the OnePlus 6 was released in Malaysia in June 2018. According to some sources, it seems that the only colour available is Mirror and Midnight Black but its official online store in Lazada has already put the pre-order live and scheduled to arrive on 8 November 2018 starting from RM2588 (6GB + 128GB).
