OnePlus 6T to ship with Android Pie 9.0 out of the box, confirms CEO Pete Lau

A day after we had a report noting that the upcoming OnePlus 6T was spotted on a Geekbench listing sporting Android Pie, the Chinese company's CEO Pete Lau has confirmed it in an interview.In a post shared on Chinese social media website Weibo, Lau revealed that the OnePlus 6T will come preloaded with Android Pie out of the box. This will definitely delight fans, but considering that the OnePlus 6 already has Android 9.0 Pie, this isn't really big news.[caption id="attachment_5196991" align="alignnone" width="1024"]
