The design of the OnePlus 8T appears, is it a case of Samsungnification?

One of the brands that has taken the most strength in the premium sector in Spain and many other countries is OnePlus. The manufacturer would be close to launching up to 5 new models for the Christmas campaign, and two of the most anticipated are the OnePlus 8T and 8T Pro, the best and most exclusive.

As usual, weeks before the official launches we are learning information about these models through the leaks. In the last one we know the design of these terminals.

The famous leaker OnLeaks has published images of what would be the OnePlus 8T in an exclusive for Pricebaba. It is a terminal with subtle changes compared to the OnePlus 8, but that follows a path that many might not like.

On the one hand, it seems that the screen would stop having a curve, something that more than one user will appreciate, although the cut-out on the screen for the front camera would end up keeping it as it was.

The part that attracts the most attention is the rear camera module. The company will bet on a rectangular design for its module like so many other manufacturers have done, differentiating itself less and less from its rivals.

The moment we meet isinevitable talk about Samsung. In recent weeks there has been a lot of controversy in the OnePlus community due

to the design changes of Oxygen OS, which left pure Android aside to bet on a software aesthetic reminiscent of Samsung’s One UI. The company ended up justifying the decisions with its own usability study, a decision that has not been accepted by the most enthusiastic fans of the brand.

The question is, what gets the company from going from the excellent camera module design that we saw in the OnePlus 7T to opting for a more generic design? Perhaps abandon its essence of the most unique terminal to be lucky enough to attract new customers who confuse it with the Samsung of the moment?

The OnePlus 3 and 5 were also heavily criticized in their day for being inspired by other brands.

It would not be far from the first time that a OnePlus terminal has a certain aroma to other brands, since models like the 3 were directly reminiscent of HTC, while the 5 had a great resemblance to the iPhone 7 Plus. What we have also learned from history is that OnePlus is not afraid to change from one year to the next, experiment and take risks.
