The OnePlus 3 was already a stunner when it launched last year. No one was expecting another phone from the manufacturer until they announced the OnePlus 3T, and then ended production for the OnePlus 3.

The same thing seems to be happening again as the launch of the OnePlus 5 draws nearer. A tweet via the official account says the OnePlus 3T will soon be out of stock and from the way it sounds, it is going to be permanent.

UPDATE: Company representative makes it clear that the OnePlus 3T 128GB edition is just out of stock and not discontinued globally. While the website said discontinued, it looks like you’ll be able to get the larger storage model when the next wave of stock arrives.

Five months after the OnePlus 3T 128GB version was announced, the production of the high-end OP3T variant has been discontinued. The OnePlus 3T was announced last year and came in Gunmetal and Soft Gold variants as well as a 64GB and later on the 128GB version. But OnePlus‘ official website is showing that the OP3T 128GB version has been discontinued.

According to a OnePlus representative who was responding to an inquiry as to why the company discontinued the 128GB variant, OnePlus needed to focus its efforts one just “one flagship device”  beign that the company is a small company. This could be taken to mean that the company may soon launch the OnePlus 5 who name has been officially confirmed via a teaser as there is no other flagship on the company’s radar other than the upcoming OP5.

Apparently, the OnePlus 3T 64GB version is still on sale ($439, available on Giztop for $399) and that is because there is a large inventory of this version available.

The OnePlus 3T comes with a Snapdragon 821 chipset backed by 6GB of RAM while the upcoming OnePlus 5 is rumored to feature a Snapdragon 835 chip and there are talks of a 8GB RAM version as well as a dual camera setup onboard the flaghship.

The post OnePlus Discontinues The OnePlus 3T 128GB Version, Another Hint OP5 is Coming? (UPDATED) appeared first on Gizmochina.

Chinese innovative startup OnePlus launched a faster and more capable variant of its OnePlus 3 flagship dubbed OnePlus 3T two months ago. The OnePlus 3T comes with a faster processor as well as a more capable front-facing camera. Meanwhile, the rear camera is the same 16MP sensor with OIS, EIS, and 4K video output as found on the OnePlus except the EIS which is a new addition. That camera has now been put to test in a recent photo shoot organized by Qualcomm in China. The Photo shoot captures various scenery at night and really, the output is just amazing.

The device features a Snapdragon 821 chipset which is said to be 10% faster than the Snapdragon 820 chipset on the OnePlus 3. No doubt, the more powerful chipset would give the OnePlus 3T a more efficient camera even though it features the same rear camera sensor. Apart from the sensor, the device is also revealed to feature a Qualcomm Spectra image signal processor (ISP) which co-ordinates stuff like autofocus, exposure, and white balance for the camera. This is perhaps, the main feature the photo shoot is meant to project.

Interestingly, the images were captured at night and despite that, they still come clean, without any image noise.The images are crisp clear and quite stunning for images shot by a smartphone. For those who still want to see more shots of the Oneplus 3T’s camera, the images will be on exhibition between January 19 and February 27 at a photography exhibition event in China. Meanwhile, you can check out more stunning shots from the shutter of OnePlus 3T’s camera from down below.

Just like it did for the OnePlus 3, OnePlus is set to release a Soft Gold color version of its latest OnePlus 3T flagship. The new variant will be unveiled on January 3, 2017 at 3.00 and would go on sale immediately on OnePlus’ official website and on Jingdong (JD.com) simultaneously. The new soft Gold variant still starts at 2699 yuan ($392).

The OnePlus 3T was launched about a month ago in China after its initial unveiling in Europe and was touted as available in two variants, Gunmetal and Soft Gold. However, the OnePlus 3T Soft gold variant wasn’t available when it launched but OnePlus has released a poster announcing the variant will now be available next week.

The OnePlus 3T Soft gold variant add some bit of class and extra sleekness to an already beautiful device. The device retains the design of the OnePlus 3 and aside the new color, the specs remain the same with the Gunmetal version of the OP3T. Recall that the OnePlus 3T features the flagship Snapdragon 821 processor clocked at 2.35GHz, a larger 3400mAh battery, a 16MP front facing camera, a new storage variant, and the rear camera now has EIS and is covered by sapphire glass.

The OnePlus 3T can be referred to as the new Android poster boy. It’s one of the few phones that offers true premium quality and features at an affordable price. Even way more affordable than Google’s own Pixel and Pixel XL.

The OnePlus 3T, apart from being the most powerful phone is also the first OnePlus device to have a 128GB storage variant in addition to the 64GB base model. The extra storage storage will cost you more money if that is the variant you prefer. The US version is priced at $479 (out of stock for now) while the Europe/Asia variant is available for £439/$543. However, online mall Giztop, has it for $549 which is a very fair price if you ask me.

Excluding the large storage, this variant is the same as the 64GB model. It has the same 5.5-inch optic AMOLED display with Corning Gorilla Glass 4, 6GB of RAM, 2.35GHz Snapdragon 821 SoC, 16MP rear camera, 16MP selfie shooter, and 3400mAh battery.

Chinese innovative startup OnePlus has shared a post that announces that its latest OnePlus 3T flagship will be getting a 6GB + 128GB version which would be launched on December 22. The Weibo post also contains a poster that reveals the company would be celebrating her three (3) year anniversary with activities lined up from December 17 to December 22.

Accordingly, there would be flash sales of the OnePlus 3T on December 17, 20 and 22 and then the large 128GB storage version would be released on December 22. There are also lots of customized gifts for fans. Previously, the OnePlus 3T was announced with just a 64GB storage version but with the coming of a larger storage version, users will have a lot more free space to play with. The huge 6GB LPDDR4 RAM would also assist in the handling of multi-task and loading large games and apps. We haven’t forgotten that the 3T features a powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 processor clocked at 2.35GHz.

The OnePlus 3T is indeed a true flagship as it also packs a 3,400mAh battery with support for fast charching. There is a 16MP sensor at the rear and another 16MP shooter up front, giving the device a powerful camera setup. The front camera is even touted as coming with an enhanced software algorithm that enable it perform better in dark light conditions.

The post OnePlus 3T Version with 6GB RAM + 128GB Storage Coming on December 22 appeared first on Gizmochina.

OnePlus is back with a brand new flagship, the OnePlus 3T, which is faster and more capable than the existing OnePlus 3. While the new device may not be better than the current gen. model in all aspects, it still packs just enough upgrades to justify its release.

So, what’s changed on the OnePlus 3T?

The new flagship comes with a faster chipset, larger battery as well as a more capable front facing camera ideal for selfies. Rest of the phone seems to be exactly the same as the OnePlus 3 including the size (152.7 x 74.7 x 7.35) and the weight (158g)

Inside, the OnePlus 3T comes with the new Snapdragon 821 chipset clocked at 2.35GHz. Qualcomm reveals that this new chip is 10% faster than the Snapdragon 820 processor that powers the old OnePlus 3. Yes, I just used the word old because with the 3T in town, the OnePlus 3 is now a generation behind. Not fair for users who just bought the device, but that’s just how the tech industry works.

Unlike the earlier rumors, there isn’t 8GB of RAM inside. So, you are still stuck with 6GB of RAM but now you have up to 128GB storage. So, there is a 64GB variant as well as a 128GB variant with UFS 2.0 standard. The phone retains the fingerprint sensor on the front which unlocks the phone in just 0.2 seconds. OnePlus CEO had said that future OnePlus smartphones will continue to use AMOLED displays. So, the OnePlus 3T also comes with the company’s Optic AMOLED panel with 1080p resolution. There are dual SIM card slots on board and USB Type-C along with a regular 3.5mm headphone jack.

While the rear camera seems to be the same 16MP sensor as found on the OnePlus 3 (with OIS, EIS, and 4K video support), what’s significantly upgraded is the front camera sensor on the new device. OnePlus has fitted the 3T with a 16MP sensor on the front, making sure that the phone is now capable of taking clear selfies even in low light. For selfie fanatics, this is definitely a welcome move. But to be honest, I hoped the rear camera sensor was upgraded to something more powerful (apart from adding EIS) as well to justify the new release.

Another upgrade is in the battery department, with the phone now featuring a larger 3400mAh battery (13 percent better battery life as compared to the OP3) with Dash Charge (5V, 4A). As for the software, the phone will be stuck on Android Marshmallow OS with OxygenOS on top. However, the company seems to have confirmed Android 7 Nougat on both the OnePlus 3T and the OnePlus 3 by the end of the year.

There are two color options, Gunmetal and Soft Gold.

So, that was the OnePlus 3T. As you can see, there aren’t many upgrades on the new device, at least not significant enough for OnePlus 3 users to be disappointed. The upgrade in the processor department with SD821 won’t make the phone significantly faster and neither will a 400mAh battery increase. The 16MP front camera could be a reason for the upgrade, but that’s going to be an individual choice, especially because the OnePlus 3T asks for a slightly premium price tag as compared to the OnePlus 3.

The OnePlus 3T will go on sale on November 22 in the US for $439 (64GB model) and $479 ($128GB model). In Europe, the phone will start selling from November 28.

So, what’s your take on the new OnePlus 3T? Will you be ready to shell out $40 more for the above-mentioned upgrades?

The post OnePlus 3T Official: Snapdragon 821, Larger Battery & A Powerful Selfie Front Camera appeared first on Gizmochina.

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.

We have repeatedly been saying that OnePlus 3 could be upgraded with a new model soon. Now, it is the popular leakster, Evan Blass aka evleaks who revealed some vital details about the OnePlus 3T pricing. If you remember, unlike earlier rumors, recent Weibo posts made by an unknown smartphone revealed that the upgraded OnePlus smartphone could be called as the OnePlus 3T.

— Evan Blass (@evleaks) October 26, 2016

Now, evleaks reveals that the OnePlus 3T could be priced $80 more than the current OnePlus 3 pricing. This puts the device close to the $480 mark, which sounds decent enough, provided there are some good upgrades. Also, the Chinese pricing could be lower, somewhere around 2999 Yuan ($442) sounds more realistic as the current gen OnePlus 3 retails for just around $369 in the domestic market.

First of all, we expect the OnePlus 3T to feature the faster Snapdragon 821 chipset. While the 6GB RAM is expected to be the same, we could see a 128GB ROM version. Another possible upgrade could be in the display department, with the company opting for better resolution LCD panels to combat the shortage faced by AMOLED panels used on the current OnePlus. However, it’s worth noting that OnePlus CEO said that the company plans to continue using AMOLED panels on its devices, so we will have to wait and see what happens.
