The world of smartphone launches is a strange one, as the co-founder and CEO of OnePlus has shared images of the company's next phone, the [OnePlus 7T][2].

There's been no shortage of leaks in the run-up to the launch of this next-gen phone, but surely this takes the biscuit? What's a venerable leaker to do when the company resorts to revealing its own phone?

Google made the same move recently, confirming several details about the [Google Pixel 4][7] - but with the launch of that phone not due until 15 October.

Back to the OnePlus 7T and this is an update to the OnePlus 7 which feels like it only launched last week. The T models have basically become a 6-month upgrade, pulling the latest tech into the phone to make it a little more competitive against new devices.

Here we can clearly see the big round camera housing on the back of the phone, confirming many rumours, [all the way back to December 2018][8].

The reveal isn't just abstract: it's the start of OnePlus talking about its phone, with an [accompanying blog post][9] detailing the design and how important it is that there's a premium feel to the new device.

Pete Lau explains that there's been a lot of work put into refining the matte glass back, with a smooth finish and metallic radiance, which he says will be on the OnePlus 7T.

More will be revealed on [26 September at the launch][10] event in India, although we're also expecting news on 10 October at a London launch event.
