OnePlus continues its twice-yearly smartphone cycle with today's arrival of the 8T. The latest device isn't a huge upgrade over April's OnePlus 8, but continues the company's longstanding tradition of offering some of the most solid Android handsets at a reasonable price point. The cost has edged up a bit in recent years, but $749 is still pretty good for what the 8T offers.

The big updates this time out are the 120Hz refresh rate for its 6.55-inch display and super-fast charging via the Warp Charge 65. That should get the 4,450 mAh of battery capacity up to a full day's charge in 15 minutes, with a full charge taking a little less than 40 minutes.

There are an abundance of cameras here - four in total. That includes a 48-megapixel main (with built in optical image stabilization), 16-megapixel ultra-wide angle and, more surprisingly, a macro and monochrome lens. The handset joins the even more affordable Nord, which is set to arrive in the U.S. in the near future at a sub-$500 price point.

OnePlus has been undergoing some corporate changes in recent weeks, as well. Co-founder Carl Pei recently announced he will be leaving the company. These past years, OnePlus has been my singular focus, and everything else has had to take a backseat," he told TechCrunch. I'm looking forward to taking some time off to decompress and catch up with my family and friends," he wrote. And then follow my heart on to what's next."
