Is the OnePlus 6T turning out to be the most popular tech giant?
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 favor with onePlus fans is that 6T will be the first OnePlus handset to say the 3.5mm headphone jack in favor of audio over USB-C.
