OnePlus 6T News & Update: T-Mobile to Reportedly Sell 6T, First US Carrier to Do So

Since selling the first OnePlus smartphone in 2014, OnePlus has set itself apart as a unique existence in the smartphone industry. Forget trying to buy it via retailers, customers often needed an invitation to actually have the privilege to get their hands on the products. Now, it seems the Chinese firm is changing tactics with reports that T-Mobile is set to be the first US Carrier to sell the OnePlus 6T.

Scalability is one of the most essential aspects to any business and has been the biggest question with regards to the future of OnePlus. As a firm that has largely been selling its phones off of the internet, its products were not the most accessible in the market. The OnePlus 6T might change this, CNET reports, with T-Mobile sell a version of the device.

It’s worth noting that there has been no official confirmation that the partnership exists and this development is courtesy of people who are supposedly familiar with the matter. If this does end up being the case, however, T-Mobile would be the first US Carrier to feature the OnePlus 6T. What’s more, this is reportedly an exclusive deal.

Twitter user saschasegan from PC Mag also recently sent out a tweet proclaiming the same deal that T-Mobile supposedly has with the Chinese firm. In his case, though, the claim comes off as more definitive.

“I can confirm that @oneplus will be selling the 6T through @tmobile, a big step for @petelau2007, for 1+ profile in U.S. and a great way for @TMobile to attract tech fans,” the Tweet reads.

This is a noteworthy development, mostly because it will finally put the coveted lineup closer to the hands of a wider pool of consumers. OnePlus has been working hard to build its brand over the years and the OnePlus 6T could be the culmination of all its efforts.
