OnePlus 8T Cyberpunk 2077 edition hands-on: This phone is awesome

OnePlus has teamed up with new recreation Cyberpunk 2077 to create a model of the OnePlus 8T that appears prefer it’s been pulled straight from the sport’s dystopian sci-fi setting. The special-edition handset shall be accessible in restricted numbers and can solely be on sale in mainland China, so we have been tremendous excited to pay money for a mannequin to unwrap and {photograph} ourselves. 

Physically, the phone is just about unchanged from the common OnePlus 8T. It’s a phone we gave a very good rating to in our full overview due to its nice efficiency, quick charging and 120Hz show. All of these options are on the Cyberpunk edition, however they’re all wrapped up on this awesome physique.

The rear of the phone combines a shiny glass again that seems to have been sand-blasted to present a frosted impact that appears a bit like like carbon fiber.

You’ll discover the Cyberpunk emblem etched in blazing neon yellow on the backside of the phone, in addition to yellow streaks across the backside fringe of the phone. It actually stands out.

The 6.55-inch show is unchanged, so the phone does not really feel any totally different to carry than the common 8T. However, with such an awesome design you are unlikely to need to disguise this one away inside a case — take further care when you’re carrying it outdoors!

As a part of the special-edition bundle, the phone comes with these pin badges. I have not performed Cyberpunk but, nor am I acquainted with the lore of the sport, so “Valentinos” and “The Mox” do not imply lots to me. I imagine that Night City is the principle locale through which the sport is set.

The phone runs a China-specific model of OnePlus’ software program, which has been given a Cyberpunk overhaul, with cool new icons and backgrounds. 

The phone seems actually awesome, and I personally assume it is a disgrace that it is solely going to be accessible in China. It’d actually be on my wishlist if a world edition went on sale.
