OnePlus 6T brings upgrades to the camera, screen, and battery

If Apple has the “S” models, OnePlus has the “T” models. Since the OnePlus 3 launched in 2016, the Shenzen-based company has released an updated version of its flagship before the year ends. This time, the OnePlus 6T has a 6.41-inch OLED display with a small, teardrop-like notch and in-display fingerprint reader, 2,340 x 1,080 resolution, and 19.5:9 aspect ratio. Its looks and feature set are similar to those seen in OPPO and Vivo devices, which are sister companies of OnePlus. It has a bigger 3,700mAh battery, Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor, Android 9 Pie running over OxygenOS, and 25GB internal storage.

The cameras on the 6T include a dual-camera setup in the back with 16-megapixel and 20-megapixel sensors as well as an f/1.7 aperture for the primary lens. It also has a new Nightscape mode that is said to improve low-light photography. It’ll be offered in three tiers: 128GB with 6GB of RAM (US$549, approx. CA$720) or 8GB of RAM (US$579, approx. CA$760) and 256GB with 8GB of RAM (US$629, approx. CA$830).

Bethesda exec says bringing ‘Fallout 76’ to the Nintendo Switch isn’t ‘doable’

Don’t expect Fallout 76 to make its way to the Nintendo Switch. Bethesda executive Pete Hines confirmed during a panel at an Australian convention this weekend that while the studio considered bringing the game to the platform, it just “wasn’t doable.” Hines says the Nintendo platform is “part of every conversation” when they develop new games because it is considered a “viable platform” but it seems it wasn’t going to work out this time around. That said, Bethesda has ported a lot of its games to the Switch, including Skyrim, Doom, and Wolfenstein II. While you won’t be able to play Fallout 76 on the Switch, it’ll be coming to the Xbox One, PS4, and PC on November 14^th.
