The upcoming OnePlus 6T may be the first OnePlus phone to work on the Verizon network, according to PCMag. Despite its impeccable software support and top-of-the-line hardware, OnePlus devices are yet to gain a foothold in the US market because of a lack of carrier relationships. Getting into carrier stores allows users to opt-in for monthly payment plans, which help a vast majority of Americans who buy their phones. In the US, wider carrier availability is essential a phone to succeed as 85-88 per cent of US phones are sold on carrier shelves. It is virtually impossible for a device to reach the masses without carrier support. If the T-Mobile deal goes through, that’ll help the OnePlus 6T’s cause greatly.

Verizon has only recently started accepting unlocked LTE-only phones such as the Asus ZenFone V as they still use a 2G-based CDMA network. The Verizon variant of the OnePlus 6T would probably be an LTE-only phone on Verizon. PCmag’s sources say that the 6T will have LTE Band 13, which is essential for Verizon compatibility. Previously, the HTC One A9 and the ZTE Axon 7 were initially Verizon compatible on paper, but HTC withdrew support for Verizon’s network, and the ZTE phone became wildly unreliable when Verizon pushed various software updates through its system.
