A Weibo post by OnePlus on its official Weibo page has somewhat confirmed the rumor that the expected OnePlus device would be called OnePlus 3T. All along no word had been gotten on the name that the device, which shares a lot of features with the OnePlus 3, would adopt. The teased post comes with the texts, “Another self, may be better for you. “T”, coming soon! # NeverSettle # “, as well as a poster containing an image of a OnePlus 3 standing before the mirror.

Although the post may not have categorically mentioned the device as OnePlus 3T but it gives us the clue that the device is a T series device. You may say perhaps it could be an entirely new name, perhaps not. The poster contains a OnePlus 3 device standing before the mirror and its reflection on the mirror is that of a device with a “T” inscribed on its display. That is another clue that the expected device is very likely named OnePlus 3T.

Besides, the expected smartphone is tipped to be an upgraded version of the OnePlus 3, infused with the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 chipset clocked at 2.35GHz. The OnePlus 3T is expected to sport the same 5.5-inch 1080p Optic AMOLED display that was first seen on the OnePlus 3, though new details have emerged that it is likely that the OnePlus 3T would use LCD display due to shortage of AMOLED screen in order to fast track shipment of the device.

In addition, the device is expected to feature two memory versions with 64GB or 128GB of internal storage, but both models are expected to have 6GB of RAM. The major differences from the OnePlus 3 will include an upgrade of the processor to Snapdragon 821, while the rear camera is expected to have the Sony IMX398 sensor that can be found in the OPPO R9s and R9s Plus, as well as an increased 3,300mAh battery capacity. Also unlike the OnePlus 3, the upcoming device is expected to have Android 7.0 Nougat pre-installed. Not forgetting also that the price is said to likely come around $80 higher than the OnePlus 3, placing it around $480. The device is expected to be launched on November 15.

OnePlus has officially released  a teaser on Twitter pointing at a launch event holding on November 15 at 1 PM EST. As rumored, the company is expected to release a Snapdragon 821-powered version of the OnePlus 3. Although the official release did not explicitly state the name of the device that would be launched that day, it is the OnePlus 3T, an upgraded version of the OnePlus 3.

Earlier on, Qualcomm had through its official Twitter handle released a post that teased the coming of a OnePlus device that would be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 processor sort of confirming earlier rumors. Now this teaser has given some confirmation to the rumors but then, it left off without ascribing a name to the expected smartphone. The poster contains the code T-7 and then the date as well as time of the launch event. While the letter T can be given to be representing the OnePlus 3T, we cannot say what the number 7 refers to. So we’ll have to wait till the conference to find out more.

OnePlus 3, that sleek flagship smartphone with a cheap price tag manufactured by Chinese start-up OnePlus, has lately been making the rounds quite regularly in the rumor mills. First we got hint of an upgraded version dubbed OnePlus 3T said to use a Snapdragon 821 chipset, and also packing a more powerful Sony IMX398 sensor. Also, it had emerged from the mouth of popular tipster Evan Bass that the device could be priced $80 more than the current OnePlus 3 pricing.

Now, latest rumor emanating from China says the expected OnePlus 3T will be launched on November 14 which is just about ten days away from today. We cannot verify the authenticity of the rumor but considering that the device has been in the front burner quite frequently of late, there might be some credibility in it.

Moreover, the release of an upgrade for the OnePlus 3 is long overdue because despite its sleek and sturdy features as well as solid performance, more recent smartphones have taken the shine off the flagship. So, the OnePlus 3T is very much needed at this time to keep the steam up until next year when the company would likely release its next flagship, the OnePlus 4.
