Alongside the unveiling of the OnePlus 8T model in early October 2020, OnePlus also announced a special edition of the phone as part of a collaboration with the upcoming (but delayed again) Cyberpunk 2077 game by CD Projekt Red. The company just recently released new teasers of the handset via its official Weibo account.
Much of the special edition’s design and its hardware specifications are still kept under wraps until its official early November launch in China. However, one of the teaser images revealed a major detail (apart from the neon yellow accents and outlines) that sets the Cyberpunk Edition apart from the regular OnePlus 8T models: its rear camera island.
As seen from the photo above, the special edition of the phone features a longer camera island, covering most of the upper part of its rear case. On the left side of the island is believed to be the same quad camera setup as the original, while on the right is occupied by what appears to be a design element or branding from Cyberpunk 2077.
